Short Pill: Full Review Coming.
Beautiful Gong Shim (2016) A-
The SHORT Pill:
Awkward, weird, and little uncanny, to those who barely understand her. But smart, eccentric, and uniquely herself to those who’ve experienced her infectious, authentic, and uniquely brilliant self. To know her is love her. How can she be anything but Beautiful!?

The LONG PILL:
The writing got a little lost in the middle for me, to be honest. I think this show would have really excelled at having at least 5 episodes less than what it had. But I do understand that this length of episodes was the standard in its time.

Exam Results:

Beautiful Gong Shim is a Surprising Unhyped Hit. It didn’t get the hype because many people didn’t talk about how much they secretly enjoyed it.
Side Effects:
Pretty fun and easy watch. Might have to revisit down the line to remember the things you loved about it.

HAVE YOU HAD A "CLASSICS" CHECK-UP YET?
Short Pill: This drama asks us to consider what is the role of a Mother? And who is allowed to play it? Is it the person who gives birth to a child? Or the one who protects and loves the child? Lines get blurred when a "Mother" steps in to parent a child in need of much, without seeking permission from her bio-mom.
Short Pill: Full review coming soon!
Short Pill: Don't pass this by! It is VERY funny. The virgin ghost who takes over a body is as funny as the body who gets possessed. Great job by both!
