Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for people who need a good giggle and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Easy company after a long day. A good follow-up to Election or Code 3.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 40 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
After being demoted from teaching Russian to middle-school English students, Me-sook is literally red-faced with shame, because on top of all her other issues — unrequited love, unpopularity — Me-sook has a blushing problem.
