My motion graphics lecturers would cry tears of joy at that ending ngl

Honestly I'm glad I'm close to ending this year with one of the best films I've ever watched.

It's a feelgood movie with the right amount of comedy that's executed pretty well. Just when I thought the humour would peak at the "Guy comes out of elevator door and bends over and drops everything he has" (if you've watched, you know what I mean) scene, there were [i]more[/i] funny scenes.

It's not just all comedy though, and when it's supposed to be serious it really does succeed at being poignant and serious about the subject matter. With the context of the sexism that still exists in Korean society(to my knowledge) and in general when it comes to workplaces in Asia, the movie's backstories and motivations for the two protagonists made sense thematically and didn't feel too preachy. Acting from the leads and supporting cast was superb, and I really enjoyed their chemistry!

I guess it just...made sense? Characters that seemed irritating at first grow and change throughout which was really nice to see. The plot isn't some meditative philosophical focus on the topic, it manages to get the point across and address its issue while remaining pretty respectful, which I enjoy.

It's also why I mentioned this is a good feelgood movie if you just want to see good triumphing over shitty people - because c'mon, we all need that shit in our lives every now and then. At least, I do. Sometimes I just want something that's funny and action-packed with the most "cliche" trope of good being pitted against all sorts of bad, because it's a reliable feelgood type of thing.

The motion graphics near the end was fascinating as well, and the VFX throughout the movie.

One of my only complaints is that the camera work can be very wonky and disorienting, especially near the end. But it's not THAT horrible, so it doesn't change my opinion of the movie much, if at all. Furthermore, though this may be on Netflix's end, the translation is confusing when it comes to the introducing of Ji Chul and how he relates to the two protagonists. I could never figure out if he's a brother-in-law, if Ji Hye is his wife, if Mi Young is HIS wife, and other such stuff. Though looking at the cast it seems clear who's related to who because of the names...? Kind of? It's quite confusing. But again, probably just a Netflix translation error and not the script's fault, who knows. It's a small gripe anyway.

Overall, I really enjoyed this! I wish there was more to the OST though, and as I mention that I realise I don't remember any music that struck me as anything during the movie(usually I notice instrumentals playing), though vague recollections of one instrumental that compliments one of the action scenes decently enough. More care could've been put into the OST, but it's not something that drags the movie down in my opinion. The theme song bangs too. :)
