It moves carefully, but guides you through a fully-realized world propelled by a quiet energy lurking within each shot -- a muscular saga with plenty of heart. Go to Full Review Jae-Ha Kim Teen Vogue 08/01/2024

A mystery thriller as much as it is a wrestling saga, "Like Flowers in Sand" is set in a small town where everyone is obsessed with ssireum (traditional Korean wrestling). Go to Full Review Sarah Musnicky But Why Tho? A Geek Community 02/02/2024

Mic T @MicThom 01/21/2024 Wow! I am not sure why I gave the show a try, but I am glad I did. I was hoked in the first episode because the characters are all (and I mean all of them, including the side characters) are so likable. There are two murders to solve, but that became nearly irrelevant as all I wanted to know more about was the characters and their pasts. It is such a pleasant story with such unique characters.
