THE SHORT VERDICT:
When Show is at its best, the writing feels smart, thoughtful and inspired, and Show is cracky fun to watch. When Show isn’t at its best, however, the writing feels paint-by-numbers and pretty lazy, to be brutally honest.
The good news is that Show has more good moments than not-so-good ones, in my opinion, and overall, works out to be a solid ride.
Our leads are great, and this is absolutely a worthy comeback for Park Min Young, but it’s also true that it’s our second leads, Lee Yi Kyung and Song Ha Yoon, who end up stealing very large chunks of the show.
Worth a look, with the right lens adjustments – which I’ll talk about shortly.
