Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, 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
A natural pick for politics junkies and music lovers. Power and ambition drive every scene. Shelve it next to Hairspray or Limelight. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 2 hr 4 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if romance makes you roll your eyes.

The next mayor of Seoul candidate's wife becomes a dance singer in this movie as Hwang Jeong-min takes on the role of poor lawyer turned politician and Uhm Jung-hwa as the wife who makes an attempt at singing without her husband knowing at first.
