Park Min

Sexy, unique, provocative and silly. It's quite rare to have a drama with adult rating let alone a long running sitcom. What makes matter ever rarer than it already is, the consistency of the adult theming in a long running format. Usually, these type of shows drop the rating to +15 or something after a few episodes. Basically, the typical bait and switch tactic. The current video quality is super scuffed, unfortunately, I don't see this show getting a proper quality release as it was even neglected by its broadcasting network. Although it had a decent variety in stories and characters but it needed more consistent plotlines running from start to finish. It also needed a better introduction because it threw us right in with barely any introduction of the characters and setting. Anyway, while it had a handful of shortcomings but it offered something new and entertaining.

The endless chase of money. It started off with a catching premise with some predictable routes that didn't seem to be enough for a full story in 11 episodes package, which is why they had episodes dedicated to some cases at work. These cases affected the story negativity and caused delays that pushed the main story as far as the last 20 minutes. As you may read from the synopsis, her ex began working at the same company but he has a girlfriend who wouldn't reject his poor status which caused a lot of pointless back and forth. His girlfriend didn't offer something worthy to the dynamic of the trio. Instead of some of the cases, I wanted to see better side characters with stories integrated into the main theme. It was an okay drama but it doesn't have much to offer.

It was really not good. The extreme hyper reactions, interactions and acting were unsettling. I'm familiar with this style from Japanese movies/series themed around life/family but they went totally overboard in this one. It was just too forced and fake at every step of the way, even for a theatrical play. The synopsis talked about entrance exams but that was mostly just for the setup and setting while the rest was about some family problems and cheap affairs baits which all were poorly written from start to finish. Due to the lack of any interesting merits, I found myself examining the 90s set design more often than not.

Compared to the original, this remake was a total flop in every aspect without a single redeeming quality. It's significantly shorter than the original to the point it could only present general outlines of the story, stripping down all the details and relationships. The cast was questionable and their performance was a disappointment. Even the production value is incomparable to the original that came in the 80s! The split personality showcase was just comical here, as well as the FL's relationships with those around here. This remake did nothing but tarnish the original work. Perhaps, it serves as a good example for a bad remake and even a more generalized example to the severe literary and artistic decline of Jdrama in general.

A ridiculous amount of face slaps with every other scene regardless of age and gender which was very fitting for the 80s vibes. It's a surprisingly good well-written drama, well, for the most part. The drama had a solid run checking all the boxes for its first half, but, for some reason, they couldn't keep the same momentum for its 2nd half. There was a significant drop in quality and the story took weird turns especially with that creepy classmate. Maybe its length was problematic for the writer and he couldn't plan for 18 episodes properly. Even the ending was kind of whatever, not much thought was put into it. I will probably only remember it for its first half. In comparison, the remake was the definition of pure manufactured waste. Utterly shameful to have a remake as that one. Just stick to the original one even with the 2nd half being a bit of a let down.

Multitudes worse than its prequel. Too shallow and cheap, they turned the teacher into a perverted clown...

Pretty mundane and cheesy sex-comedy from the 80s...

This was an attempt to make a melodrama from the kids' perspective and there's a very good reason why there's not many like it. Mainly, because it's utterly absurd to showcase this, especially for events related to the kids between themselves. It's less of a problem when it's between the kids and the adults. When looking at the whole picture with the adults, it's a pretty standard watered down melodrama because of the given theme. It wants to be targeted at kids/teens but it doesn't do a good job in that regard so it end up being stuck in this weird middle ground. Earlier on, the drama had plenty of animation but they stopped doing these because they realized how atrocious and unnecessary these were. The story, cast and performance were all pretty average and lazy.

Not good but the soundtrack choices were interesting....

They should've removed the boyfriends from the equation and made it about life in general, otherwise it was cheap in its current state. A new profile picture every episode with no change/growth/development between each. Each episode was just a long montage of speed dating a new guy. Nothing connected or clicked in relation to her life. The main character herself wasn't appealing to begin with. Her personal life beyond the relationships had little to no role despite having an introduction that indicated otherwise. There was an attempt to do things differently for the last episode, especially in regard to her childhood, but things were more or less the same. On the bright side, it was shot nicely.

It's surprising this drama managed to go on for 10 full episodes considering the bulk of its content. The drama had a sloppy poor blend of workplace setting, food and a love triangle. The office related events were the worst as these were extremely generic auto generated fillers just to give the illusion that it's a workplace setting. The food scenes were okay at best but nothing stood out even the food shots. The romance was just bland and weird, it was only there because they didn't have anything else to do or show for a story, not even if they were aiming for a slice of life/episodic formula. If anything, they should've cut its runtime in half and double the focus on food.

Somehow this convinced them to spin the idea for another 10 full episodes...

Curiosity killed the cat and there was a question to be asked about bestiality 💀

Not good...

Another unsavory interruption of MBTI yapping...

Not much at all...

Just turn off the radio...

Better than expected....

Below average randomness and mostly musical segments....

A whole lot of nothing....
