Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Made for a blanket and a quiet evening.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 20 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.
