Luces, cámara, ¡amor!

Yet another K romcom that has as much sex appeal as a bathtub full of rubber duckies.

Which is what to expect when the emotional intelligence EQ of the 2 leads has remained at elementary school level. What's with these endless coy K dramas that keep the leads in arrested development for the whole show and likely their whole lives?

How can the titular film director expect to do more than make insipid "melo lite" movies when her romantic experience is nil? And same question goes for the film critic boyfriend who has no life experience other than a sick brother and an emotionally stunted best friend - he's going to be a popular film reviewer?

This may be the first time I've seen a K drama when the second leads have a more interesting and believable relationship than the stars. Not that their relationship had a lot of insight or maturity either but at least they had some growth and realization. The leads? I doubt they will ever have kids because they haven't discovered the meaning of passion and sex. Children forever who only have a modicum of careers because the writers gave it to them.

The show had promise until about E5 and then it just went into stalled car mode for the rest of the movie. Even the tragedy that happened was barely addressed and didn't show any growth or deeper connection for the leads.

5 stars for the first 5 episodes.

Not your usual chebol - corruption - amnesia - love triangle - destiny drama. But unfortunately not very interesting either. The story is not convincing, adults are behaving like self centred, spoiled teenagers and the conflicts solely arise by just not talking to one another. The most interesting story is that of the elder brother, Jun. This had potential but was just a minor point. The inner monologues were mostly pseudo philosophical, it would have been much better if they had just been dialogues. But then again, it would have been even more obvious that this drama lacked a compelling story. Fast forwarded through most of it but should have stopped after episode 2 because it doesn't get any better.

The timeline on this is hard to follow, but it seems like the actors should be late 30s, almost 40, but they act more like late teens early 20s.

The premise was cute, but by episode three, I've lost interest and I keep checking how much time is left.

It's the same old same old misunderstanding type of rom-com that I've seen too many of.

It also feels more like an anime format than a movie.

Good for high schoolers, I guess, but at 60+, I'm out.

I always have a problem here with character limit. Everything is either too short or too long. Don't ask me why someone thought that was a good idea. Thank you for your patience.

Great series all the way until the end. Too much left unresolved. Some of the storylines resolved horribly. Acting was good, which made it bare able in the end. I was left think, ok there should be 2 to 3 more episodes. Loved Park Bo-young and Choi Woo-shik. The way each Episode ended was kind of confusing with time flow. So watch all the way to credits or you'll miss something. The soundtrack was excellent and was another plus for the series. I really think Melo movie could do with a second season. So if you're looking for a short series that's just okay, this is it. It won't get you hooked on K-dramas, but it will help past a boring weekend.

I just did not find the show intriguing at all. It's supposed to be a romance, at least that's what they showed in the beginning. But as the show aired further they changed it's direction towards the brotherhood and his hyung's challenges?? Also all of it was pretty boring tbh.

What i did love was the second ml couple. They had the angst, the tension, the perfect amount of drama to their love story. Absolutely loved them in comparison to Gyoem and Mubee, who had with nothing going on between them. The aesthetics of the show was pretty insane tho .

I am disappointed that's all i'd say. Too slow and not executed properly!!
