Drama Special Season 9: Review Notebook of My Embarrassing Days (2018)

An easy and funny watch - a series of second-hand embarrassment

Completed - 9/22/2022

“Review Notebook of My Embarrassing Days” is an-hour long drama special about some embarrassing events and memories of our female lead. As she runs into her first love again, more embarrassing moments are created while she navigates between her ex-husband and first love.

This is a light and funny watch. All the actors are experienced and they portray their characters pretty well. I was interested in learning about FL’s experience as an exam writer. I never knew there’s such an arduous process to come up with exam questions for students, and that these teachers have to go through a lockdown training camp for it! There’s some math talk which goes over my head and I just ignore it. LOL

The love triangle is front and center in this drama special. It’s funny and heartwarming at the same time. Although there isn’t much skinship, the chemistry between FL and her first love is great. There are no plot twists but just a simple and comfortable romance.

This show is only slightly over and hour long, but I still found myself fast forwarding a little through parts of it. The characters are interesting and the actors/actresses all do a good job, it's just slow. I can't really be more specific than that though because it's not like the story line was lacking or anything. It even has a couple rather unexpected moments in it, but somehow I still found myself struggling to not fast forward.

However, even saying that, it's a cute show and the three main characters are well written and have a story that feels like it could really happen in life so that is nice. It just felt like it could have been done in even less time or else the scenes needed to have a bit more to them.
