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 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.

Miss Night and Day has some positives. First and foremost is Lee Jung-eun, who puts so much quirk and energy into playing the eldery version of the female lead-- Lee Mi-jin. The side characters have good chemistry with one another. Choi Jin-hyuk is decent as the male lead. The story contains plenty of hilarious double-life hijinks, wrapped up in a simple but engaging enough murder-mystery.

What ruins the show is the way Lee Mi-jin was written. While her character is meant to be a little air-headed, there were many times where she's stupid to the point of lunacy. The biggest example is her constant failures or refusals to reveal her double-life, even though doing so would basically solve all of her issues. But of course, that would means the end of the drama, so she constantly has to make the most illogical decisions to keep the secret going, despite it convoluting a ****serial killer investigation*** and almost getting her killed several times.

Jung Eun-ji's portrayal of Lee Mi-jin's younger self didn't help. She felt passionless and distant which really didn't match the energetic way Lee Jung-eun played her. Coupled with Choi Jin-hyuk, who's character is already written to be cold and distant, the two felt more like an estranged couple.

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.

Lee Jeong-eun comedic acting in this show is award winning. Her timing. Physical performance, presence is outstanding. I am enjoying this light comedy the cast is well chosen, she's a standout for best in a comedy series. The premise of the show is cute the other female lead plays her ditsy character very well, her friend is adorable, the prosector is perfect as the comedic straight man and the character actor who is the assistant prosecutor is always good in any roll he is in. This light hearted comedy might not be to everyone's taste, but I am throughly enjoying it especially the performance of Lee Jeong-eun.
