Relationships unfold with a bright, glossy and antiseptic sentimentality in Park Hyun-gene's "Like for Likes," which brings abundant social media usage to shopworn rom-com contrivances.
Andy Webster, New York Times
Overview
A notoriously shrewish TV drama writer and a Korean wave star who fight like cats and dogs every time they meet; a spinster flight attendant landlady and a nosy chef tenant who build a sense of camaraderie; a genius relationship-virgin composer who harbors a secret admiration for a scatterbrained producer. As they crash-land into each other's lives, will there be love?
