Miss Night and Day

This is supposed to be a rom com with a bit of supernatural and thriller thrown in. It ends up messy.

There are some funny bits but not enough to lift it. The idea of being one 50 year old in the day and then a 20 something at night just didnt work for me. Why she didnt tell her parents and get their support is strange.

The relationship was peculiar when and how did these two fall for each other was utterly confusing made worse by the disappearance at the end.

The cat ? What was that about? The killer being a woman was different but she was quite strong and determined and able to continue her spree for some time. Not feasible.

Yeah. Not sure about this one. If you want some easy mindless drama to watch and forget about when completed then this fits that category.

The is definitely Lim Sun's story (the older alter ego, Miss Day). You certainly can relate to this as an older person. Her character steals the show and well it should. The performers are spectacular. There is lots of suspense and you fall in love with the majority of the characters. It pretty much all makes sense. My only complaint is that the romance between the prosecutor and Lee Mi-Jin drags out to the point where it feels like she is mistreating him by constantly pushing him away. It's not the best part of the story. It's all Lim Sun...her face is the last thing you see when the series ends. What you are seeing here is a story about Grief and Loyalty.

Lee Jung-eun is indisputably the highlight of this show! She masterfully (and adorably) portrays a lady in her 50s acting like she's in her 20s. (She is known to international audiences for her roles in Bong Joon-ho's works like Parasite and Okja, which showcase the physicality in her acting. She boasts a prolific filmography and is wellknown to K-Drama fans for her supporting roles in Mr. Sunshine and When the Camellia Blooms.)

The show is a slice-of-life drama surrounding a prosecutor's office but, at its heart, is a slapstick comedy with a blend of romance and mystery. It explores themes of ageism, government bureaucracy, substance abuse, and social expectations.

The show shines with its lighthearted and humorous moments, but it features a darker storyline, the murder mystery, that has become quite common in K-drama comedies (e.g. Behind Your Touch). So, it's a whimsical blend of dichotomies and contrasts.

I couldn't help but be reminded of Kafka's Metamorphosis when considering the central premise of this show. The physical transformation provides an amusing but thoughtful commentary on ageism.

Don't watch this for realism. As with many K-Dramas, enjoy the rollercoaster ride filled with both humor and heart.

The premise is fun, I love a good fantasy K-Drama/Webtoon. The characters are all pretty well rounded and there's a couple of twists to keep things interesting.

However, the episodes are really hit and miss. One episode will be really gripping and the next will be mostly filler. I know 15/16 episodes seems to be K standard but it easily could've been made in 6-8 and been a tighter experience.

Big bane of mine: MISUNDERSTANDING TROPE

God, this series is so frustrating because of it. I can suspend my disbelief for a moment in order to create some interesting plot points but to have the characters continuously misinterpret each other and go back and fro all the time becomes very annoying by the end. Misunderstandings that could be sorted almost immediately turn into a three-episode affair.

This is the main reason I won't rate this higher. Because the main character (Sun) is absolutely amazing in this, the story is good (there's romance, fantasy, drama, crime and police stuff to keep you entertained), and the other characters are likeable. But otherwise it drags a lot in places.

It seems many reviewers took it way to seriously. It's a kind of slapstick comedy and it's one of the funniest i saw in the last months.

There is some kind of romantic involved which is kinda normal for every Korean show and it includes some social criticism as well. But it's not meant to be serious which gets more and more obvious.

Her parents remind me somehow to the couple in Kung Fu Hustle. It's a very weird and funny couple and well played. The main character play her role perfectly and she has really impressive talent for slapstick comedy.

This movie is not for anyone who expect a serious social criticism kdrama but for anyone who wants to have a fun time.
