Double Patty (2021)
4/10
Double under-cooked patties
22 December 2021
I mainly came in watching this film for Joo-Hyun Bae (aka Irene from the K-Pop group "Red Velvet").

The film starts out hinting toward romance between the two main leads' characters. It almost becomes palpable in the scenes revolving around eponymous double patty hamburgers. But then the second half of the film takes a nose-dive into lacking direction. There is some drama, but it's a bit disappointing how it was executed. The drama occurs separate between the two main characters, which makes it even more disappointing. If the romance part was allowed to blossom between two main characters, it would have helped bridge their worlds together and bring more depth or nuance to the story.

As for Joo-Hyun Bae's (Irene's) acting, to me, felt no different from her public appearances through Red Velvet. Whether at a music show, variety show, or live broadcast. Her expressions were deadpan. I was hoping more range from her.
