Jal Pa Gin Love (2019)

I can't even process what I've just watched. Everything was honestly a blur. First off, the first thing that ticked me off was the fact that Oksan threw away her 5 year long love for Ranho for a guy that she saw for 3 seconds. I never understood the concept of love at first sight, and I still don't. "Love" at first sight is honestly just lust. It shakes me how she thought that her liking for Chris was "love" when all she saw was his appearance. At least the girl has some sense to realize at the end that Chris wasn't the one but it still shakes me how she was able to throw away her 5 year long love for a handsome man. Ranho honestly complimented her better than Chris did, and to be honest, this might sound mean, but she doesn't deserve him. If she was able to "fall in love" with Chris at first sight, and forget all that Ranho did for he and all they did together, then she honestly doesn't deserve him. All in all, this was a pretty shitty drama, true to its 6.5 rating. I definitely won't be rewatching this anytime soon.

Short enough to fit into a lunch break, but leaves you unsatisfied

At just 3 episodes of 10 minutes each, this short drama can fit into your lunch break, but unfortunately leaves you with an unresolved taste in your mouth so you might want to grab an icecream afterwards to get your sweet fix.

The setup is cute but brief and predictable, and the actors do well in their roles with what little they are given (Jang Eui Su from breakout role "Where Your Eyes Linger" plays one of the leads). If you'd just like something short to pass the time, this is well enough produced, but don't expect anything ground-breaking. Unfortunately there isn't enough time in this drama to give the characters any development or the story a meaningful resolution, and it ends in a way that might frustrate some viewers (as it did me) with questions rather than fluffy feels. One more 5-10 minute episode could have wrapped things up nicely and rounded out the story, but you'll have to settle with imagining what happens next.

If you're like me and was looking for a quick dose of something short and sweet, it's best to skip this one as it ultimately doesn't deliver satisfying results.
