Terrible, terrible, terrible!
The beginning of the movie was really promising but after 30 minutes the whole plot fell apart. This movie was supposed to be about insecure Dong Joo who was clearly afraid of performing but wanted to do it anyway, to appeal to her senior. But suddenly all these side characters jumped in and the movie went in detail with their lives without really explaining anything well enough. And the weirdest thing was that our other main character Shin Heung was totally neglected, it's as if he had been put in there for comedic relief only. And what comes to Dong Joo, her problems were never explored any deeper and her character remained superficial. She was hateful to begin with: a selfish, stupid, and arrogant leech who lived off of her mother's money. Not to mention that Park Ha Sun acted badly like a plastic unnatural mannequin. She was mostly really annoying to watch.
The comedy was pretty bland or then I just don't get Korean humor due to cultural differences. Most of the funny parts were super awkward and made me cringe in disgust. The romance was non-existent, there was no base for the two characters to fall in love, they had nothing in common and never got enough screen time together. All in all, this movie made hardly any sense and it was extremely predictable.
Not recommended.
