Boyfriend on Demand: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
3/5 Stars: An inoffensive nothing burger that should have been a movie, but relies on Jisoo's star power and cameos to make up the difference. It's a fine watch if you're bored, but it might make you more bored.

Can This Love Be Translated?: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
3.1/5 Stars: A genre rollercoaster that is sure to give you whiplash with a standout performance by Go Youn Jung who gave her all to translate a convoluted plot into something with meaning. Can this love be translated? Eh, It was a confounding time.

Genie, Make a Wish: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
3.1/5 Stars: A Contemporary Fantasy that tries too hard to feel like a Marvel show with a sky high budget, on location shoots, and a great cast that struggled with their inconsistent characters trapped in a convoluted plot like a Genie in a bottle. I would like to make a wish that this was better.

May I Help You: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
3.3/5 Stars: This tragically not about ping pong, but instead is a fantasy drama intermingled with a mystery that brings our somewhat lifeless funeral directer female lead and a Jack of All trades together. A fine watch if you have time.

Move to Heaven: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
3.4/5 Stars: Amazing performances and a stellar, thought provoking concept make Move to Heaven worth the watch, but the lack of character development and emotional follow through stop it from becoming a masterpiece.
