"Love Set" was the most disappointing of the series, despite IU and the goat Bae Doona. Thankfully this didn't set the tone for the subsequent episodes. IU gives an incredibly kinetic performance though: emotionally volatile and so physical.

"Collector," though. Wow. This was my favorite. And co-starring Park Hae Soo, who gave a performance like the rent was due! The concept was extremely well done, something that avoided cliches and being trite. IU was perfectly cold and aloof as Eun, contrasted with Hae Soo's pleading, desperate boyfriend. I was also obsessed with the sterile white room where he's decapitated, a shot of surrealism in an already dark segment. The room in miniature inside the little box was also a brilliant touch and gave this a fairy tale vibe. Also, a young woman who demands the hearts of her lovers without giving hers in return, locking them in glass jars? Outstanding, just outstanding.

"Kiss Burn" was delightfully strange and funny, and "Walking at Night" was the perfect conclusion with its melancholy musings.

It's really nice to see IU distance herself from her wholesome image with an off beat project like this. I could definitely see her in a Bong Joon Ho or Hong Sang Soo film.
