Dirty Laundry (2023)

10/10 Nutty.... Night..... Nanon......
P'Jo has successfully pulled this comedy entertainer with a ladyboy character for Nanon. Plot remains true to its dark comedy theme of Midnight series. Nanon described his experience working on this set as experimentation of multiple roles. He looked breathtakingly gorgeous and irresistibly hot playing with the mic and pole respectively.
P'Godzi, Foei and 'Jennie are just adorable in their roles.
As usual coloring, styling and accessories, lighting, BGS mixing, script and locations are all tipsy, proving P'Jo excels in portraying night life. His stories are pretty close to reality and boldly talk of taboos. The only point lacking would be right editing of scenes. To crack up the audience you need perfect timing in comedy. Film did a good job in showing a clumsy and cute side of a laundry girl especially while the magazine flipped....

The Midnight Series way to Chaos

I already knew from the trailer that this series would have been chaotic, and I was all here for it.

Dirty Laundry is about Neon, who supervises a laundromat at night, and Night, a writer of crime stories, who is one of its many customers. They find themselves involved in a dangerous situation when a suitcase filled with money gets stolen: they will have to look for it investigating all the other people who use the laundromat, even by going undercover. And of course, ridiculous scenarios ensue. Poor Night gets into way too many situations from which he'd like to run away, but the circumstances are so unrealistic and the framing is so over the top, that it doesn't feel too bad to laugh about them.

Film and Nanon are both perfect for their characters. They give it their all for this series, whose characters have very high energy all of the time. The side characters are very fun as well, giving great extravagant performances (my favourite being Momay trying to give someone else CPR), even though - with some exception - they aren't very well rounded. (But that's not important to the story at all, so we'll let it slide)

The music is just fun, and it accompanies the series very well. I love the rhythmic theme song, with its nods to the laundromat at the beginning. I also love the chaos of all the characters trying to sing but failing, and Nanon's sweet voice when he sings a cappella at the end of episode 4.

Overall, this series is light, fun, very easy to watch and to pass the time with. It was very entertaining in terms of the investigation the two main characters were trying to lead, and interesting to see how it all pans out in the last two episodes.

The director himself, in the Midnight Series Special, warned not to take this series too seriously, and I'm very happy about that, because it's surely one of the most fun ways to follow.
