Mr. Heart (2020)

Cute movie, however, it's not different from the show

In this movie edition, there weren't any cinematic changes. All the inner dialogue was still there, the music was pretty much the same. The only difference between the show and the movie was there not being an intro and outro in every episode.

To be completely honest, the story was somewhat boring, even though it's painful to admit. Or maybe the story was good, only portrayed poorly? I believe that the issue is, that trying to illustrate mature themes like Sang-ha being in debt, just doesn't work when the "episodes" were only 10 minutes long. It could be portrayed in a movie form, but this movie was just a compilation of the episodes. What saved the movie for me though was the chemistry between the two leads. Both Sang-ha and Won's characters were luckily very likable and from a viewer's point of view, it makes excellent sense why they fit together. Even though the story was very all over the place, they both saved the film because they were a great match. And honestly, the climactic kiss was terrific. It seemed so much more realistic than a handful of dramas out there. It was very fitting to the mood. It's incredible how their chemistry saved the production.

Really big applause to Lee Se-jin and Cho Seung-ho for their fantastic acting. And the soundtrack was excellent, I enjoyed the different songs and have saved most of them to my playlist. If I were to rewatch, I'd watch the movie adaptation just to save myself from having to skip intros all the time. However, I wish the movie had some change compared to the drama.

Mr Icicle meets Mr Hot cup of milk

This drama is sweet but also makes me go what... The story is sweet we have the emotionally closed off icicle in desperate need of some one to though his col, cold heart and Mr heart or more fitting Mr Hot cup of milk who is a tad obsessive and in desperate need of a lesson in consent and finding his self worth.... Unlike other obsessive male leads this guy shows persistence without any aggression witch makes it hard to dislike him, This movie (also as a series) shows us the importance of equal footing in a relationship with the added bonus of sweet loan sharks.

All in all an okay watch.
