I saw the preview for the movie Minari (미나리) back when we could still see a movie in the theater, and was really eager to see it. I finally rented it on YouTube (for $21!) because it's next up in the Red Lantern film discussion group. It is really good, and I loved it, in spite of my farm disaster anxiety.
The plant minari is also called Water Celery, Water Dropwort, Japanese parsley, Chinese celery, Indian pennywort. I bet I can get it at the Berkeley Bowl. Here's an easy recipe for minari namul, a seasoned side dish.
The lovely and talented Han Yeri (Monica in the film) is someone I have seen in the kdramas Six Flying Dragons, Age of Youth, and My Unfamiliar Family. She was really outstanding in all three of these excellent shows. I did not know she also sings. Here she is singing the song from the end credits of the film (with film's soundtrack composer Emile Mosseri):
