Iridium

Iridium almost sounds like a korean word.
Could be a name like: Iri-dium.
Heavy enough to lift an elephant?

​What's in long kdrama episodes that keeps you hooked - other than the cliffhanger endings? Is it feeling feelings driving the plot and being the plot in a way western shows don't even try to be (or do). Even a show like This is Us is feelings but through narrative devices - how can we hide this, flashback that and tada! Reveal! Now cry...

But kdramas are all cards on the table in a way.
​Heart fully on sleeve. Reveals but for feels.
Always feels.
Leading with feels.
One micro expression to the next.
