7.5/10
I would not recommend this movie to my friends.
I would not rewatch this movie.
The headbang for alcohol bombs is wild.
Sohee is so cool for immediately being able to fight.
Imagine an officer caring this much.
I hate how anyone in a position of power talks down to Sohee. Or even like how they talk in such a manipulative way that seems like they care for you but they really don't.
This movie is so realistic in showing workplace toxicity. It's like wow. And it's not even cultural.
I could not be a phone representative like this. The room is so chaotic? Not even noise cancelling headphones lol.
I honestly think all the dancing is just okay.
Sohee is a student tasked with working in a gruelling call centre with tough sales figures and a deeply unhealthy work environment. The film focuses on the structures and hierarchies that lead to the tragedies in the film and doesn't leave the audience with any easy answers.
July Jung’s Next Sohee is a story told in two nearly equal halves. In the first half, high schooler Sohee (Kim Si-eun) is awarded an externship to work at a call center office. Conditions at the call center are tense and only get worse as Sohee tries to acclimate to a highly competitive environment and training which has her doing everything in her power to delay unhappy customers’ service…
boycotting riize’s future comebacks until SM gets their shit together and actually learns to protect their artists and re-defines what actions deserve to be “punished” and taken seriously
I just finished watching 'Light on me' (I know I'm a bit late to the party 😅) and oH MY GOD I have NEVER felt so much emotion while watching a show
I literally squealed at the final two episodes, especially when Taekyung held Shinwoo's hand and their kiss at the end... Perhaps I screamed.
I literally loved all of the characters and I'm really glad that they gave Lee Sohee a redemption arc, because in the beginning I would literally groan whenever she came on screen... and I'm sorry but I need a friend like Namgoong in my life!! He's so funny but also so genuine and only wants what's best for his friends 🥺
Shinwoo was ultimately my favourite character, I rooted for him from the start. I can relate to him a lot, and when I watched him, I could see myself. Though, I liked Daon too! So, ultimately, I wouldn't have minded who Taekyung ended up with... But like I said, I'm glad it was Shinwoo!!
Anyway, I think I've rambled on enough about how much I loved the show and the characters so I'll end the post here before it ends up being a novel 😅
If anyone reads this and has watched the show and needs friends please message me because I am in desperate need of friends who have watched this show and who watch bl drama's and can relate to what I'm saying!
