An Honest Review from Long Time Jung Yumi's fan

Review of #TheSchoolNurseFiles

ㅡ The series kicked off with lively and energetic and We could see the main protagonist Ahn Eunyoung. She has different ability from other children. She is born with eyes which can see "jellies"& allow her to see kind of living creature

On the first episodes we could see an oddball introduction with some humors and intriguing part which Ahn Eunyoung is trying to vanquish the jellies with her toy weapon ( lightsaber and bb gun). I as the audience was waiting for the story telling behind scientific reasons what's going on in every story they told on the screen and sadly we got nothing.However, there are some heartwarming and jolly moment in every episodes. Thanks to Yoo TaeO and Moon Sori as special guest.

The School Nurse Files doesn't carry enough to convince the audiences with scientific reasons. They didn't flesh out into a decent story. It's really a shame because there are some a nice ideas but ended up with cliffhangers plot. Here some parts need to be answered. Ex) In the fish market, They didn't tell us who she is. What kind of operation they did? What kind of medical treatment they do? Who did they have that ability? Is there any community among them? They didn't explain anything briefly among the people who understand even can see jellies. Beside a bizarre writing with no details explanation, the story goes in piles of different directions. The series is directed with independent mind so it looks absurd. The inconsistency in editing turned into confusing. The series is no more than just selling a concept...sadly

Apart from plenty weakness they have. this series has an excellent cinematography and CGI like in fairytale world ? and the jelly floating everywhere and blobs around the screen. It looks squishy and amusing. the sound effect and BGM also great. The preformance of all casts are good but not at their best. Jung Yumi personally I could only see her in romcom or melodrama movies/dramas, but she steals the show with a bubbly spark, funny and energetic.


OVERALL:

#TheSchoolNurseFiles is a bizzare and confusing fantasy series with unsettled packed plot. There is no scientific form or explanation to anything going on the screen. As the result, it loses some interests to continue the series. The series ain't going to wrap up with explanation. A lot of unpacked files here and there, also cliffhangers ending of each files. It has nothing to expect more than disappointing plot and editing. Though the series looks charming with weird plot and genuinely has a heartwarming performances.
I can only give ★★★ maximum and I don't think it's good enough for rewatch value. If you are ready for weird, absurd and abstract plot, this series might be your cup of tea but you might find easy to give up the series and pretend it's doesn't exist.
