300 Year-Old Class of 2020 (2020)

Promoting Cultural Heritage with a TWIST

At first it wasn't that entertaining because I don't feel any vibes that the story could get through. But, as I time goes by as I watch the film it gets interesting to see those cutie scholars discover the new world and unravel the riddles that they must do in order to go back to the past. It is quite meaningful for the girl to have some bonding time with the three scholars and help them manage the world that is different from theirs. Moreover, the girl has two dreams in the story, 1st is that of living a matured and happy life in Seoul and (correct me if I'm wrong :>) to become a tour guide giving historical trivias to other people. It's marvelous to see that the three scholars helped the girl in reaching her dreams despite of the small time that the scholars have because they need to finish some errands back time.
Another things is that of the relationship of one of the three scholars to the girl :< Like, I don't know if the both of them have feelings towards each other because this is just a short series that I can't even tell some of the details that this short series had. At the end of the series there is a cliff hanger that I got irritated for a moment because I knew that one of the scholars came back to the present world just to meet the girl again :< (I hope there is a season 2 for this kind of mini series)

To conclude, this mini series truly helps tourist to inspire the wonders of Korea regarding to their cultural heritage and amazing places to visit. Not to mention, in the series alone, we can actually hear or see riddles and landmarks that helped promote and sight the beauty of Korea's places. This mini series also reminded me that of helping other people who are completely strangers can somehow benefit you to reach the goal that you want in life (though I'm not generalizing all strangers because it might be weird for some to help others that we don't actually really know, but in some cases, it might be good depending on the situation or actions towards each other). This is one of the cutest (not actually the best) mini series that I've watched which inclines in promoting the rich culture and heritage of Korea and helped me understand how strangers can be turned into friendship or even... lovers?

A Directionless Stumble

I care about this drama so little I can barely manage to write a review. It was a slog just to finish it, even though it's pretty much just the length of a movie. Regardless of my initial appreciation of the chemistry between the three friends, I felt absolutely no connection with the female lead and saw no clear character motivations brought up among them. There is frighteningly little real conflict or stakes, which wouldn't be too bad if it weren't for the complete lack of effective comedy throughout. Simply put: I didn't care. I didn't care about the characters, or their connections, or the unconvincing goal to return to the past (none of them seemed quite attached to it anyway). Whatever romance there was felt forced and undeveloped, and the female lead basically had no compelling character traits or motivations or flaws or... well, basically anything. I don't have too much against the acting or production, but I really just couldn't care less about any of it. I do not recommend this drama.
