Start-Up (2019)

the story started off lighthearted and funny, we had 2 teenagers (yes both 30 year old mains were acting as 18 year olds, but they did a really great job showing the youthfulness), who wanted to make money, Go Taek Il left his house and ended up working at a chinese restaurant, while Woo Sang Pil became a loan shark but he didn't know how dangerous that job was.
I do fee like they brushed past the key points a little too fast, but since it was a webtoon it must've been hard to squeezed all of that in a 1 hour 45 min movie.
I really liked how each character had their own backstory and traumas, usually movies just focus on the main and everyone else just exists in their world. by the middle part we got to see the emotional baggage the side characters had, but I do think they solved everything way too easily. the tension was going up up up and then it disappeared.

still though I did highly enjoy the characters and it made me laugh a little and sometimes that's all I need. not everything needs to be dramatic.

I never rewatch things but maybe there's hope for a 2nd season ;)

ENTRETENIDA

Esta película no es nada del otro mundo, sin embargo es entretenida y no se te hace tan pesada. Una trama realmente tranquila, de unos jóvenes que no saben qué hacer con su vida y que van teniendo ciertos problemas a lo largo de su trayecto, al mismo tiempo que comentan sobre su ambiente familiar. Contiene un poco de acción, drama y sobre todo comedia. Nada mal para cuando quieras ver algo que no sea tan pesado, con mucha historia. Lo único malo es que no profundiza casi nada en algunos personajes, cosa que en verdad veo normal, ya que es una película, pero no hubiera estado mal haber dicho más de ellos y conocerlos y no solo centrarse en uno. A pesar de ello, ha estado mejor de lo que esperaba. Muy recomendada.
