Momo Salon (2014)

There are no reviews on this site for Momo Salon, so I guess I'll write one.

This slice of life story had a well-used but nice premise. A girl moves to a new city and opens a hair salon. The story involves her new clientele, and how difficult clients can be. Apart from the main girl, there is only one regular recurring character.

There are only 6 episodes that are less than 9 minutes each. This doesn't leave any room for character development, proper story telling, or plot progression whatsoever. For such a little time span, the viewer spends a great amount of time watching the main girl sit alone in her shop, sighing at the ceiling due to lack of customers. While I appreciate the realism, it's not very interesting.

It was alright to watch once, but it wasn't memorable, and I'll most likely forget the contents of the show within a couple weeks.

Pleasant, short story

One of the shortest I've seen. As I later read somewhere, this was more of a drama school exercise, than an actual drama. But whatever it was, it was pleasant, and quaintly memorable. Nothing really happens, except a newly setup barber shop struggling to get customers, eventually finds some.. I watched the show on Netflix, but when I went to watch it again, it was gone vrom Netflix. Netflix has been doing that to more and more shows. I hate it when that happens. Now there is no way to see it again. Isn't it bad when in this day and age, you see something and all you have to remember it is your own memory of it?
