DRAMA REVIEW | Light Shop (2024)

I don’t use the word “masterpiece” easily because it’s no easy to create a film or tv show that’s literally perfect but that’s the only way to describe Disney+ kdrama Light Shop.

Actor turned director Kim Hee Won makes a perfect directorial debut with this very human and heartfelt Korean gothic ghost love story.

Light Shop is a masterfully crafted production, every detail full of significance and important to understand the story as it progresses. No character is unimportant, all playing a key role in the lives of each other; and the performances of each actor nuance. Never giving away too much but managing to connect with the audience at the same time.

The technical aspects, such as cinematography, lighting and special effects, are simply some of the best you will ever find in a Korean drama.

This is the kind of kdrama you want to watch without knowing anything beforehand, but you should know the first four episodes are key for the world building and then, it twist and turns in order to take you on one of the most beautifully made rides.

Perfect.

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

Hierarchy (2024, South Korea)

Director: Bae Hyeon Jin

Writer: Chu Hye Mi

Mini-review:

Oof, what a disappointment. I feel like this wanted to be one of those transgressive teen shows we get in the West, but then it didn't have the guts to go all the way and ended up being like any other kdrama about the rich and the poor. And even then, it's just not good at that either. The writing leaves a lot to be desired, and it gets more boring with every episode. The acting is also all over the place; some of the actors do a solid job, but most of them are mediocre or downright terrible. Tbh, there are two things that save this drama from disaster: firstly, the director adds a lot of style and flair to the proceedings; secondly, sometimes it's fun to see a bunch of super pretty people all together in one place. But still, there are a lot of shows where you can find those things with much better quality. I wouldn't recommend Hierarchy, unless you really love someone in the cast...

LIGHT SHOP

GENRES: Drama

SUMMARY: Never give up on those who are lost, because they might just find their way back to the light.

THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Miscommunications, maternal love, mortuary respect, basketball gifts, second chances, candy wrappers, keen detective work, listening, celebrating, hair in the drain, red high heels, schoolyard friends, eternal patience, choosing the wrong bus home, first loves, and jjajangmyeon.

HOT TAKE: I am honestly emotionally wrecked after these short but slow 8 episodes. There's just something that makes me sob buckets when a show dives deep into the rituals, stages, and possible triumphs of the afterlife (and those waiting/suffering for those struggling to return).

Although I would have liked to have seen a shorter edit of Ju Ji Hoon's crying seen in episode 7, I applaud his range since that's not a side of his acting ability we see too often. Speaking of acting ability, how does Park Bo Young convey so much with just a glance? Masterful.

Drama Gossip: Jazz for Two

Source: Google Images

Han Tae Yi lost his will to live after the death of his older brother, who was a genius jazz pianist. To Tae Yi, transfer student Yoon Se Heon is truly an uninvited guest. Se Heon has been playing jazz that reminds Tae Yi of his brother since the first day he transferred to school and gets on Tae Yi’s nerves.

Se Heon also suspects that Tae Yi has a suspicious relationship with his friend Seo Do Yoon. Se Heon, who longs to play jazz freely and escape the eyes of his strict classical music professor father and Tae Yi, who wants to give up everything, was assigned to the same group for joint performance evaluation.

As they practice together, they find themselves developing complex emotions for one another. However, just as their relationship begins to deepen, Song Joo Ha, a senior student who was suspended from school, returns to school, and his presence begins to stir up things between Tae Yi and Se Heon.

Takes the Throne for Glossing Over Everything

Tell me why this show couldn't have done an hour per episode or give Jazz for Two more episodes? Is it due to budgeting? Because boy did this drama fall short thanks to how rushed it feels.

I actually enjoyed this drama. I really did. Unfortunately, I needed more.

For example, we really glossed over Doyoon and Juha's relationship. Juha saved Doyoon from some bullies. Okay, but why? Especially if dude's a bully himself too? Juha started bullying Doyoon. Okay, but why? Was it internalised homophobia? Something he was not aware he had until Doyoon made his move? That whole part where Juha practically called Doyoon disgusting was self-explanatory. However, Juha started feeling lost because Doyoon ignored his existence and he just do a 180 flip? The locker scene touched parts of my heart but Juha rationalising his previous actions was hella weak. And for Doyoon to immediately fall back into Juha's arms? Don't get me wrong, I freaking love the both of them. I just couldn't take how half-assed their story felt.

Unfortunately, the main couple's story felt glossed over at times too. Seheon's relationship with his father? The fact that his father was so strict with him yet when Seheon blew up and let it be known that he liked jazz over classical music, the father though strict, let Seheon do what he wanted. And then his father was never talked about again.

Also, Taeyi and his trauma? Or the final episode, that whole festival subplot.

Jazz for Two could have been a five-star watch if glossing over shit was not a strategy used constantly in the show...

Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3.5/5)

RANDOM BLOCK B FACTS! (These facts are taken from kprofiles!)

Zico thinks that girls with a lot of piercings are pretty.

Jaehyo doesn't like being on camera too much, especially on his own.

U-kwon's nickname is kwonraemong because he looks like Doraemon so it's a mix of their names.

While Kyung writes his songs, he likes to use his imagination and put himself in different situations.

Graceful Friends. 7

Story: 8

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 9

Comparable to: Penthouse (kdrama); Sky Castle (kdrama); The World of the Married (kdrama) the Glory (kdrama)

This drama will definitely not be for everyone. It’s very melodramatic, it’s very soapy. Every character is basically an blackmailing cheating asshat so it’s hard to choose who you want to root for. It’s basically one of those dramas you want to stop watching but can’t seem to 🤷‍♀️

I heard the controversy...at least their kiss "saved" the blurred/hide ones 😎
