Ironic, tongue-in-cheek and cheekily self-aware, Show is a fun twist on the traditional Cinderella fairytale.
In that way, Show feels refreshing, because it doesn’t vibe like other kdramas.
I personally found the ride on the uneven side of things, but that may not be the case for you, as there are many who love this show unreservedly.
Worth a look, if only to see if this one will work for you.
On the upside, Show presents some really thoughtful reflections about love, relationships, breakups and healing. When Show is in this space, it’s pretty excellent.
On the downside, Show is clumsy at best, when it’s not in that thoughtful reflective space. In fact, some moments are downright bad, not gonna lie.
Yoo In Na and Yoon Hyun Min are both charming in their own right, and the entire cast does a valiant job of delivering on the material that they’re given, but this still works out to be a very mixed bag.
How well you take to this one really depends on how much you like the thoughtful reflections, stacked up against how awful you find the bad bits. Which means that your mileage will definitely vary.
Worth a try, with the right lens – especially if you’ve got a ready finger on the Fast Forward button to help you along. 😉
