Nothing Serious
Blame it on those dating apps and a little too much soju. When rookie reporter Woori’s boss assigns him to write a sex column, he has no choice but to dream it all up, or to go online. Enter Ja-young, who’s just been dumped and is determined to have no more relationships. Matched by the Love Bridge app, they hook up on New Year’s day. The resulting column—heavy on emotions, light on sex—is a surprising hit with readers. As the sex gets better but the columns stay in foreplay mode, Woori’s boss changes her mind: give us the kink or lose your job. But it’s another ultimatum that he fears the most. With Jeon Jong-seo and Son Sukku as charismatic, made-for-each-other leads and hilariously incisive dialogue, Jeong Ga-young breezily updates the romantic-comedy genre, giving equal play to candid conversations and bedroom scenes, all with scintillating authenticity.
