Seon Ho is a writer who, two years ago, was short on money, so decided to try to improve his financial situation by creating racy web-based cartoon strips (also known as webtoons). Known as “19+” titles, these webtoons may only be read by those aged 19 or above. Seon Ho’s titles have become extremely popular. But they have had a very unexpected effect on his sex drive. Since he began writing, he cannot feel aroused. He has also become extremely busy, as his titles are in great demand. So Seon Ho decides to hire an assistant to help him meet his deadlines. The assistant, Mu Young, turns out to be a reader – Seon Ho’s number one fan, in fact. As they start to work together, they start to feel the pull of mutual attraction. But one of Mu Young’s male acquaintances, a young man called Jun Seok starts to fall for Mu Young – even though he has a girlfriend. Will Seon Ho’s sex drive ever return? And could he find love with Mu Young? (Source: Viki) ~~ Adapted from the webtoon “Oh! My Assistant” (오나의어시님) by Mila (밀라) and Angrymonster (앵몬). Edit Translation

Just Like the Series, Very Boring
The movie/series: See my full review for the series about the storyline, script, and acting. All of it applies to the movie too.The movie: Overall, they did a great job editing the series into a movie version. However, I wish they had fixed the weird editing choice from episode 7 because it does seem out of place and affected the mood for the next scene.
Random Notes:
You basically can skip the series and watch the movie version because there was very little that was edited out. As I stated with the series, you can wait to watch the movie until you have some time to kill and have nothing better on your must watch list.
Loved the Movie Version Even More
I really loved this series, which got a lot of luke warm reviews with many comments directed to not believing late 20s guys wouldn't be aware of their sexual orientation. That's a fair complaint but certainly earlier generations were so far in denial that they got married, raised a family, and only later in life accepted their preference. I suspect that still goes on today, even with younger people. For me, this seems like a pretty realistic plot and we're spared a lot of the cliches of BL/Gay cinema. No one dies (always with the subtle message that straying from the "straight" path will lead to a life of misery or violent death). These are adults with established careers rather than college engineering students. There aren't endless scenes of anguish about coming out to parents, although there are two flashback scenes with each lead recalling a homophobic encounter with school classmates. I won't repeat my full review of the episodic version, except for a few highlights: The Korean film industry sets a high watermark for production values and I love the quirky, fast-paced direction of this piece. Nothing seems padded here. All three of the male principals are absolutely great together. Like other Korean BL dramas, this one is pretty timid. We get a couple of shirtless scenes and some lightweight kissing. There is one rather amusing scene where the main lead has trouble walking due to some sexual excitement. But this drama definitely doesn't push beyond conservative sensibilities. Aside from that the only real plot weakness is the unresolved fate of the third guy in the love triangle, but maybe there's a sequel where we meet him again? Anyway, this is one I could rewatch many times. Highly recommended.
