Hmmmm…I like Lolita-esque stories. I was a bit of a wanna-be-Lolita myself.

LSK was pretty good as a badass amoral PI in The Customer is Always Right. Maybe those who complain he acts the same have only seen his drama roles Coffee Prince-onwards? The Voice is excellent at playing The Nice Guy, but he’s capable of so much more y’all, esp in his film work.

That said, let’s hope this movie makes him uberly creepy so he can break out of that particular typecasting rut.

“If there has to be an “issue to overcome,” maybe it is Lee Sun Gyoon trying to learn how to sing and trying to participate in a local radio singing competition.”

The socks thing is probably a bit facetious lol, but okay, I’ll bite. You might take to Lee Joon Ik’s movies Radio Star and The Happy Life — the characters have a few problems (an aging has-been rockstar reviving a failing radio show, a couple of guys starting a band) but nothing major and not treated in a melodramatic way, just ordinary people living ordinary lives who love music. There’s a little bitter mixed in with the sweet, but that makes them authentically feel-good.
