Hey UK friends - it would really help me out in my day job if you could take this anonymous survey. Even if you don’t watch Korean drama, that’s still really useful data for us!

Did a rare repeat cinema visit to see Black Phone 2 a second time, because my daughter is home from uni for half-term and she’s a fellow horror nut. Still an absolute blast.
