Review: Love Next Door

THE SHORT VERDICT:

The drama worked out to be a pretty mixed experience for me.

In short, I thought some of the arcs dealing with familial relationships were truly excellently written, with certain beats making me feel particularly seen and understood. 🥲

Unfortunately, I felt that some arcs, including the OTP arc, were unevenly handled, and I found certain portions quite underwhelming.

Overall, I do think that this could be a pretty enjoyable watch, with some lens adjustments – which I’ll talk about next.

Review: Lovely Runner

| kfangurl

THE SHORT VERDICT:

A little show that looks light and fluffy, but is, in fact, so full of heart, and so solidly smart, that it outshines its similar-looking drama cousins, by a long mile.

Smartly written and tenderly directed on the one hand, and sincerely delivered by a cast that feels pitch-perfectly chosen for this story world on the other, Show has a lot to offer, despite its relatively modest pedigree.

Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon are wonderful in this, individually and together, and were the highlights of my watch; I found them both entertaining and endearing in all the right ways.

As a bonus, Show boasts a great OST that just amplifies every feel that Show serves up.

Very much recommend.

And if you happen to land in the love zone with this show, give it a little extra love for me, please?
