Cinderella at 2 AM
(2024 - 10 1:05 eps)

A rich chaebol son with a poor office worker who is older & has had responsibility for her brother since leaving her parents behind as a high schooler. This has made her pragmatic. When she finds out her young boyfriend is the 2nd son of the company owner, she knows the relationship is unrealistic. When mom offers money to break up, she takes it.

Good acting, good OST, nothing extraordinary in set design, cinematography, or costuming. There were a few gems of wisdom in the writing, most was lackluster & predictable. The brothers were great together & the 2nd couple was very cute - they stole the show. Good fluff, with some occasional unexpected depth, but then a little disappointment because those hints of something more never came to fruition.

Radio Romance
(2018 - Viki, 16 1:10 eps)

A drama filled with romantic fluff. The writing & directing were seriously lacking. The other actors did well, but Kim So Hyun, at 19, carried the show. 1st ML was the typical cold jaelbol because of trauma but his character did have growth. 2nd ML played a very unusual character & was delightful.

A radio program writer, with no skills & a horrible mentor loves the radio & wants her program to succeed. She casts a famous actor as the DJ, but he is nothing without a script. Most of the drama is spent trying to make sure the DJ can actually do the show - everything that can happen to keep him away does.

Nice for a break between intense dramas, but not much substance.

Doctor Slump
(2024 - Netflix, 16 1:05 eps)

High expectations resulted in disappointment. A very bland mystery could have either been finished quickly or gone crazy. The ML's parents were mentioned briefly, but that went nowhere. The writing was not well done.

Park Hyung Sik wasn't playing a character - it was just him - so some deep emotional scenes felt out of place. The chemistry was lacking. The FL's brother stole the show with his acting - he was terrific! And the 2nd couple was great.

It was a mental health service message: although the show didn't portray depression completely accurately, I felt the uplifting message of "It's okay to fail. You can try again." is a good one.

It's a cute, positive show in many ways. If you're looking for fluff, it's a nice, mostly-calm, watch. If you're expecting award-caliber stuff, you will be disappointed.
