A wild award-winning South Korean series tops our list of what to watch this week while a short Western from one of our foremost filmmakers sadly fizzles rather than sizzles.Here’s our roundup.“Bargain”: In a remote hotel outside of Seoul, a middle-aged man (Jin Sun-kyu) meets up with a presumed 18-year-old virgin (Jeon Jong-Seo) so he can have paid sex, and then barters her fee down when he decides she’s not pure. Sound sleazy? Like you’re ready to shut it off? Don’t do it. That setup changes 15 minutes in and then outlandishly changes again and again in this wildly innovative six-part South Korean series that gets wackier with each cliffhanging episode.You don’t really want to know too much about what these two characters encounter, but we will divulge that it includes an earthquake, organized crime, organ harvesting, a “Saw”-like basement and the lead actor running around in tight red boxer briefs in one episode.

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester United fans waited patiently outside Old Trafford late into Tuesday evening.Even after a latest loss in an ever-worsening season they wanted to see manager Erik ten Hag, hoping for an autograph or selfie with the Dutch coach. And despite the Manchester rain, he worked his way along a line of supporters, posed for pictures and signed whatever paraphernalia was placed in front of him. His team may have been greeted with boos as the final whistle blew on a dispiriting 3-2 loss to Galatasaray in the Champions League — a sixth defeat in 10 games this season — but there was no sign of blame being directed toward him from these fans. Ten Hag clearly still has credit in the bank after his first year at United, when he led the club back into the Champions League and to a first trophy in six years, the English League Cup.
