Magic Bottle (2015)

Considering the fact that this is only 3 episodes long with 8 minutes each, this short series is worth a rewatch. It could simply be a short film. Anyway, because of the shortness of it, the story cannot have a lot too it or it would become complicated and probably not as fun or happy. In truth, this series is not that funny, but it is quite sweet, and if you are an ANGEL (fan of Teen Top) this is a series for you.I am not even an Angel and haven't really listened to any of their songs, and I enjoyed this series. L. Joe has not been in much so far and most have been cameo appearances, but, I am looking forward to his future work in acting. I think he could do well, and I wish to see him in more.

There are a few cliches in this series as to be expected but, not much time is given to dwelling on these cliches because the series is pretty short in itself. If you only have 30 or so minutes and you wish to watch something cute and sweet, consider this series.

This is a very, very short drama, probably it’s the shortest drama ever.

But surprisingly there are many things to talk about. First of all it’s an artistic project, with unrestricted and free directing (and very small budget), and that’s why this mini-drama is original and sophisticated. The main motive is…a bottle recycling with a fantasy idea of jinn in the bottle.

The plot is rather complicated: we can watch the romance, moral dilemma, supernatural being, comedy and irony, the theme of reusing bottles… what can we not find in 8 min. episode?

I really like this plenty of contents and light, ironical style of the drama.

I can rewatch it anytime, because it’s only 8 minutes long for each episode.
I give 10/10, because it isn’t a classic and serious drama, but rather an experimental one which shows the ability of the director Kim Jung Hoon and I like the result.
