When I found "Red Carpet" on Netflix, I had never even heard about it before. I read the synopsis and believed it to be a romantic comedy, which the South Korean cinema tend to produce quite well. With it being a South Korean movie, I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch it.
It turned out that this was more of a melodrama that it was a romantic comedy, so it was quite different from what my mindset was set up for. And on that account, then the movie fell short of living up to what I had hoped for in terms of entertainment and value. Actually, the movie had a rather mundane and generic storyline, to the point where it bordered on becoming pointless actually.
As for the characters in the movie, well they were equally generic and mundane as the storyline. Which was a shame, because that resulted in me not bothering to form any sense of relationship or bond with them. So I cared not what happened to them along the course of the movie.
"Red Carpet" was a very bland and generic movie, and it offered absolutely nothing to the genre that hasn't already been seen countless other times before. The blandness of the movie and the pointless characters resulted in this being a very mediocre experience for me. And I can honestly say that I will not be returning to watch this a second time.
