Boyfriend on Demand: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6/10 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 there is a risk you might become even more bored.

Generation to Generation: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6/10 Stars: Generation to Generation is an.. uh.. unexpected feast for the eyes, that really leans into the zany with crazy costumes, terrible lighting, and remarkably bad editing. Despite this, some wisps of a great story still peak through, aided by a fantastic older generation of characters, and younger characters (and actors) who still have a long way to go.

Can This Love Be Translated?: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6.2/10 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, I'm not sure....It was a confuddling time.

Genie, Make a Wish: Spoiler-Free Mini Review
6.3/10 Stars: A Contemporary Fantasy that tries too hard to be like a Marvel show with a sky high budget, on location shoots, and a great cast who struggled with their inconsistent characters, as they found themselves trapped in a convoluted plot like a Genie in a bottle. I would like to make a wish that this was better.
