From Now On Showtime. 8.5

Story: 9

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: Bring It In Ghost (kdrama) ; Hotel Del Luna (kdrama)

The drama for me took a few episodes in to fully get hooked into. By episode three though I was totally engaged. It’s one of those dramas that actually get better with each episode. The cast is also what makes it so wonderful. Everyone is exceptionally talented and get along perfectly. It’s hilarious, lite, and cheesy. If you’re a romcom fan this will definitely be a delight.

Ballerina

Movies watched in 2023

Ballerina (2023, South Korea)

Director & Writer: Lee Chung Hyun

Mini-review:

I'm a huge fan of Jeon Jong Seo and I enjoyed The Call very much, so I was really looking forward to Ballerina, her second collaboration with director Lee Chung Hyun. Thankfully, it didn't disappoint. It's sleek and visually stunning, and Jeon Jong Seo more than rises up to the challenge. She definitely has what it takes to be an action movie star. Tbh, the script and the story are much weaker and unoriginal than in The Call, but Lee Chung Hyun clearly knows how to direct the hell out of an action scene. Also, the movie is pretty short, so it goes straight to the point and it never gets boring. Anyway, I hope these two keep collaborating, cause so far they've been on fire together.

P.S. There's quite a lot of triggering content, and I recommend looking up some warnings before watching.

I Picked Up a Celebrity On the Street. 9

Story: 9

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: Crazy Love (kdrama) ; Eulachacha Waikiki (kdrama)

For me this is a perfectly nice hidden little gem. It definitely won’t be for everyone. It’s utterly hilarious and is not to be taken anywhere serious. The humor is on the darker side, kidnapping a celebrity type of deal. It’s the slapstick sort of satirical vibe of comedy. Again you’ll either love it or hate it. The chemistry between the main leads are excellent as well as brilliant comedic timing. Only downside is the very very rush ending.
