K-drama ● Review: Strong Girl Nam-soon
Comedy tries too hard, mostly failing. Autopilot plotting. Characters are too simply written initially but are fuller in the second half.

Film ● Mini-Review: The Fable
A comedy about an assassin and his assistant told to lay low and not kill anyone. Could be funnier but still a solid film that is enjoyable.
