    Soulmate (2023) Review: A Friendship Drawn Across Decades

    Soulmate is Min Yong-keun's Korean drama about two women bound since childhood, a bittersweet friendship story led by Kim Da-mi and Jeon So-nee with real bruises in it.

    Yes. It is a moving, well-acted Korean friendship drama for viewers who like their tearjerkers with some grit, even if it sometimes spells out what its actors already show.
