"Live Up to Your Name" is a Korean show about a time traveling accupuncturist from Joseon times and his counterpart, a heart surgeon from modern times. Great physical comedy and serious issues. And one of the few great dramas that made it to YouTube. Humor music video.
The drama can be seen on YouTube.

Maybe it’ll show a young Biden watching FDR on TV announcing the stock market crash. LOL
The show might (though it doesn’t) but THAT MAN will NEVER appear in one of my videos!
I was going to check the YouTube out, then I saw the last word in the headline; “Worms”. Not my favorite visual.
I may check it out later anyway.
Arrogant Worms does hard humor. I have one album of theirs but they’re often difficult to work with as story videos. Often very fast and so speedy they’re hard to understand and hard to cut to.

(Agreed. I don’t like worms either.)
Oh. Okay, thanks for explaining.
It’s always good to find out about entertainment and passtimes in cultures very different from what I know.
I’ve never been to South Korea, but
I was in Sasabo Japan, decades ago during the service.
I was treated well, but knew I would always be a ‘guest’ in their country. That’s fine with me. I behaved.
I never traveled out of this country except once crossing the border in Tijuana and traveling across Canada, which I don’t think should count.
Getting into Korean and Chinese videos has been fascinating. They’re more American than current American shows. With the old time American values. Because I used to write movie scripts, I’m totally fascinated by the writing in these shows. They do use common themes, like time travel or falling in love with robots, but they do them in ways that knock you off your chair.
Husband and I get together after watching, together or separately, and compare notes on what we’ve come to understand about cultural differences. His most frequently occurring word is “strange.” It’s become a joke that we can’t talk about a new show without that word coming up.
We now always read the news articles about the two countries, comparing the reality described in, admittedly, biased news stories, with the image that’s portrayed in the shows.
Not sure I could do this one. There are several Asian hockey shows, though.

Thanks-—The Worms are awesome.
However, Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie are arguably even better if you are looking for obscure bands out of Edmonton.
Arrogant Worms.
Where was that user name when I wanted one?
I will most assuredly look up Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie. The name alone makes them worth listening to.
I know I have two versions of one Canadian song.

I have to admit that your user name gives me the shivers. I was an physics/art history major at U of Chicago, and my advisor was teaching Bosch and Breugal and forced me into his class. He was mostly medieval art but the courses I was preferring were ancient art, more like Greek and Roman architecture and Egyptian and Chinese art. After learning that he’d been studying who sculpted statues on the outside of a church by reading all the payroll records for the local quarry, I decided not to go into art history as a profession. Which is pretty ironical considering the research I did on where the tongue moves in the mouth while reciting 18th century poetry aloud.
Would they accept your change to Magnatron the Arrogant Worm?
Here is one more version-—though it needs to be connected with about 20 seconds three-quarters of the way through the episode when all the Mounties come to.

Good episode of a good series. Due South and (speaking of Chicago) Early Edition back to back made for good television in the 90’s.
FWIW—my screen name refers not to Bosch, but his patron Saint. I teach theology, mainly scripture.
When were you at Chicago? Nice combination of majors.
I don’t know Early Edition. Was it a show rather than a news cast?
Aha! When I was first married, our first apartment was in Chicago Theological Seminary. We had a 2 bedroom and ended up moving to a 1 bedroom so that Jesse Jackson’s family could fit better in ours. He used to put up Operation Breadbasket signs in the laundry room, and I’d write little conservative notes on them. Remember that the cafeteria put up notices as he was marching in Selma to make sure everyone knew how he was doing.
I’ve only looked into theology for genealogical reasons. I come from a long line of theologians, and am a nitpicker for trying to understand people. Some of the paper I bought is on my website, as are some links that once worked.

I mostly researched on site, and met a church member from Noah Welles’ church who had his original sermons. The problem was that they were in a Wellesian shorthand that he thought I could translate by shared blood. Not.
Rev Dr John Henry Livingston was a 5th guncle.
https://henrylivingston.com/bios/revjohnhenrylivingston.htm
That link has a bunch of 1st edition whole book scans. I was talking with a Dutch Reform minister about Livingston’s Psalms and Hymns. I was curious about whether some of the writing in the more “modern” ones could have been written by his brother Henry, whom I’ve researched for 10 years as the author of Night Before Christmas. As expected, not clear.
Went to Rutgers to research John Henry and discovered they had the original papers of another ancestor, not theology related, Gov Lewis Morris. Lucked out. The archivist was out and the librarian handed me all the original files and pointed to the xerox machine. We stayed 3 days copying EVERYTHING!
Ah, U of Chicago. Mother met father there. He was in the Cavalry of U of C and ran a poetry column. Mother was an early entrant. Of course I had to go there. Did physics for 3 1/2 years. In my last year I died over Schroedinger Equations and mother talked me into switching to History of Art. She’d done fine arts and had studied in Lorado Taft’s studio on the other side of the Midway. It was pure joy.
I took an extra year to graduate, so 1962-1967, but it was a tears-in-your-eyes from over-indulgence in beauty year. But I took my Humanities classes in the same building where she’d met father, and did a fine arts class in the Taft studio, too.
One of my very favorite shows. There’s 26 music videos from Due South in this playlist. And thank you kindly.
