My Perfect Stranger: Eps 9 & 10 Quick Takes
Nothing to see here. Or to be precise, there was nothing to see here that wasn’t predicted in the blog. 1. The political upheaval in 1987 wasn’t just a convenient backdrop to the story.

My Perfect Stranger: Eps 7 & 8 Quick Takes
Things I disliked: 1. Jin Ki Koo Terrible, terrible actress. To me, her acting sucks more than Shin Se Kyung’s (“Run On” and “Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung”) and that’s saying something. I’m not even requiring MICRO expressions from her. All I’m asking is that she learn to convey emotions with basic facial expressions. Currently, […]

My Perfect Stranger: Eps 3 & 4 Long Takes
My problem with this drama is that it promotes a BOGO (buy-one-get-one) deal on storylines, when I can only buy into one. On one hand, there’s the quest of Baek YoonYoung (YY) to reset her mom’s life. She’s been eliminating the roadblocks to her mom’s future happiness, namely her high school bullies and worthless husband-to-be. […]

My Perfect Stranger: Eps 1 & 2 First Impressions

The male lead, Yoon HaeJun, recounted the events that happened on that fateful night in 2021. He said, “When I look back, it was a really strange night. It’s rare for one thing after another […]
