Heidulius
Sleek, beautiful, noir. Loved it.
This drama is not going to suit everyone's taste. But for a nordic sucker for a noir atmosphere and grown up, complex and flawed characters this was a total dreamboat and a bag of chips.No work is flawless, its just a question if it matters to me or not. In this case I did not give one f***k and enjoyed every exquisite minute of gorgeous cinematography, intrigue and deliciously dysfunctional everything.
The 8 episode format is perfect so at no point did I feel frustrated with a banal side plot or unnecessary complications or pointless montages/scenes.
The OST was to me tasteful and understated, but very powerful and gave me goosebumps every now and then. Nothing unnecessary, just perfect and the power of silence has it's own life in this sound world.
I could feel that this is based on a book, theres a literary and disciplined feel in the visual language. I was overall pleasantly surprised and satisfied that this did not slip into cliché. As much as I love a good cliché it would have subtracted from this lovely gem.
Thank you Trunk!

Pleasantly surprised.
This film really surprised me.I absolutely loved its thoughtful and kind handling of subjects such as taboo, prejudice, toxic work culture, trust, intimacy, personal boundaries and safety in relationships.
I felt it was character driven, but managing a light and human touch handling quite serious and often painful subjects.
Loved the acting, I bought every minute and the chemistry between leads was palpable and sweet.
A little naughty, a little nice and a whole lot of kind and tolerant all in one package with a bow :) Recommend.

What an absolute tour de force by Shin Hye Sun
I just keep coming back to this gem and every time I'm more impressed by the FL actress' piece of physical comedy in this drama. Comedy is such an underrated genre, but so hard to master. I keep appreciating her command of her body and mannerisms in this drama more and more each time.Other actors do a good job and obviously the director was on the A-game. But Hye-Sun just owns this so much I've written my first review to sing her praises. I can't not and can say no more.
Slay, (Mr )Queen! Love. Recommend.
