Too short...
A typical low budget production, at least they improved. They added background noise to the bar, even when we can see it's not a bar. And there is always a flashback of the last episodes evem when the episodes are only 8 minutes long (under 7 for the finale).This is an unagitated series, with a chance meeting of two man in a laundromat. But of course one of them is not just there for reading a book or doing laundry... It tells the story of a university graduate hunting for a job and his uncertainties and struggles. Hyung supports him with tips and with a new suit, because he won't wear it anytime soon. In the end there is a little bit of drama but of course there is a happy end.
What I don't like especially with this series is how short it is. While it tells the story well, it misses some depth. I would like have seen this with 30 minute episodes or a lot more episodes... because the acting was good and the script was good. Not exceptional, but compared all the crap we get served, it's a a change of pace and a change of stupid, senseless stories. So, if you don't know what to watch, binge watch this series on Youtube for around 29 minutes and have a nice experience.

Love in the Laundromat
Don't be swayed by the rating I gave. This was for the technical aspects and script limitations. The contrived kiss at the end. BUT it did leave me smiling and in a better mood. Light, different meeting spot - bonus and for two actors that didn't visually have much chemistry, it was okay enough to watch.Was this review helpful to you?
Likable actors
This was a nice story, it was a well done in such a short time. Only 4 episodes of ca. 7 minutes long.The visual were great and the music very beautiful!
I liked both actors a lot. Their acting was very good and they had great chemistry and good kisses.
I recommend watching this short story.

Short but cute
It had a pretty strong start, and honestly I was quite scared of it going downhill from there, and sadly it kind of happened.I still enjoyed watching it and think it was worth it.
Where to watch: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkQFxcEhORR2FeqYtgF11cPxC7n_hYgk-
Things I liked:
1. Good chemistry. The main characters definitely have good chemistry; I enjoyed seeing them together.
2. Acting.
3. Even with the small budget, they did a pretty good job at making this short series.
4. Kang Ji Seok's funny and flirty personality.
Things I disliked:
1. Extremely short. Especially the last episode, I feel like it would be much better if they made the last episode a bit longer.
2. The whole reasoning behind why Ji Seok "shouldn't get close to the main character" is pretty dumb in my opinion.

- centered on 2 characters
- easy to understand premise
- visuals
Room For Improvement
- they were talking, but I didn't feel that they really got to know one another
- the ominous line multiple times

Laundry and Life
Mr. Laundry and Jaemin!Focusing on the first two episodes. To me, they just highlight the contrast between the two main characters: Jaemin, who is anxious, talkative, and eager to find employment, and Jiseok, a calm and emotionally stable man who left his job after a decade of struggle to prioritize his mental health, choosing peace and stability over the pressures of work and societal expectations.
Their initial meeting in a laundromat sets up a dynamic where Jaemin, struggling with low self-esteem, sees Jiseok as a mentor figure and calls him "Mr. Laundry" — a nickname rooted in their shared experience at the laundromat. This short series explores themes of mental health, self-worth, and personal growth through their evolving relationship.
The short drama explores how people can grow, feel better about themselves, and find peace — even when life is hard. After Jaemin fails his job interview because the questions were too hard, Mr. Laundry is there to comfort him. This moment brings them closer. He listens, cares, and helps Jaemin feel better. That’s when their bond grows — and they begin to feel something more than friendship.

Potencial
Gostei do drama, acredito que a história se desenvolveria bem com um pouco mais de episódios ou tempo.Gostei da frase e analogia sobre a lavanderia e a mente, sobre não ser um lugar apenas para lavar as roupas e sim enxaguar a mente.
Os atores foram bem em seus papéis, apesar do tempo extremamente curto.
São apenas 4 episódios de 8 minutos e uns segundos onde geralmente 1 minuto, no mínimo, é dedicado a recapitular a cena anterior, o que acaba nos fazendo perder tempo com algo que acabou de acontecer kkkk
Queria que houve mais episódios, mas realmente gosto deste estúdio.
Assisto todos que são lançados.

É MUITO BOA, MAS MUITO CURTA
Aqui temos aquele tipo de história que é cotidiana e comum, mas muito impactante.A história gira entorno de 2 homens que estão sempre em uma lavanderia, mas por razões diferentes. Esses 2 homens estão quebrados e inseguros de forma muito parecida e uma conexão é instantaneamente criada entre eles (mas essa ligação não vem do nada, um deles já sabia que o queria).
Esse tipo de história que quer te contar algo comum porém impactante é sempre muito promissora e capaz de fazer grandes coisas, mas o tempo aqui é tão apertado que não é possível construir esse mundo corretamente.
Os atores são bonitos e talentosos, a ambientação é cativante, os diálogos são interessantes e a química funciona. É muito triste ver tudo isso não sendo aproveitado como deveria por termos apenas 4 episódios de 8 minutos cada um (menos, porque boa parte eles usam para recapitular o episódio anterior).
O projeto merecia mais e espero que façam um remake mais bem trabalhado e com mais episódios de duração padrão no futuro.
