Miss Night and Day

Miss Night and Day

6.0

A cheesy telenovela with a job-hunting motif and a wildly unnecessary 60-minute runtime

TLDR

“Never having a proper job before turning 30 is a disservice to my weary twenties!”

What it's about

A job-seeking young woman in her 20s inexplicably turns into her 50s in the day, and reverts back to her regular self at night.

The take

If you don’t like cheesy Koreanovelas to begin with, there’s no real reason to seek this out. You’re getting an over the top telenovela from the performances, to the wishing on a star and playful coincidences and all the forced meet-cutes. Lee Mi-jin (Jung Eun-ji) is sympathetic in her unenviable position receiving conditional kindness from her parents. And of course, the premise itself is just ridiculous enough to maybe stick around for. But what should be a simple story gets out of hand quickly, with an absolutely wack 60+ minute runtime per episode. While it can be a decent comfort show for the giggles, there’s no cheese you can get here that you can’t get anywhere else for better if you kept looking.

What stands out

I was totally catfished by that intro animation.
