Episodes 3 & 4 Review
Positives
The main plot of the kdrama, which involves the supernatural element, is creative and well-developed. Furthermore, the mystery of the cat, as well as how the show builds suspense, are worth appreciating.
The show also does an excellent job with its romantic narrative. The kdrama is slowly and brilliantly laying the groundwork for Mi-jin and Ji-ung’s potential romance. However, Mi-jin’s transformation into Im-sun during the day and her growing closeness to Ko-won create obstacles to this relationship.
The kdrama also excels at humor. We see Mi-jin transform into Im-sun, and the humor in her mannerisms and unusual speed for her age is truly amazing. The humor is genuinely amusing when Ji-ung and Byung-duk try to get her to leave the job, but she surprises them by completing the difficult tasks with unusual speed. The show’s humor isn’t forced, which is why it works so well.
Negatives
While the kdrama has many positive aspects, it also has some flaws. For starters, Miss Night and Day blends too many genres, including supernatural, romance, comedy, and crime. As I had suspected, the kdrama did not do justice to some of the genres. For instance, the crime plotline does not appear to have been well thought out, at least so far. It was fascinating when it was first introduced in Episode 2. However, the crime storyline in episodes 3 and 4 appears to be forced.
The show’s romantic plotline is also moving slowly. While it stimulates curiosity, it is painfully slow. We can’t help but conclude that this is because the show has too many elements on its plate, and if it only had a few, this storyline would’ve been handled well.
Overall, Miss Night and Day excels in its supernatural and comedic elements. However, the show struggles to juggle its multiple genres. This is especially true of the crime storyline that the show has introduced. Despite these flaws, the fresh storyline and humor of the show make it worth watching.
