Peng (2021) User Reviews

Not Good Enough

[PennyReviews · 2/10 · 3 December 2021]

Korean Drama "Peng" had an interesting prompt in theory, but the drama fall short.

The main problems of the drama were the characters and the length. The characters, first of all, were superficial or just there to support the leads. The main character was depthless, boring and spoiled, with some specs of a personality in the end, but still, were not enough to save her. The boys were just a cell of a stereotype that they were supposed to serve, though some of them had more screentime and, hence, a bigger chance to be presented better. The rest of the characters poped up here and there to add a comment about the main character or support her.

Now, for the length, it was short, yes, but it wasn't handled well either. The story was thinly spread and rushly ended, though the ending was rather surprising, and, unexpectedly, enjoyable.

As for the performances, they were decent.

So, overall, 2 out of 10.

Strong female lead, Lighthearted, flirty and fun

I enjoyed this drama a lot! I was hesitant because of the mixed reviews but it is actually fresh and interesting and because its so short you can watch it in a couple of hours.

Usually many guys after the same woman is a bit of a bore but in this case it wasn't like that.

Loved the personal development of the main female lead, she doesn't abide by what society expects of females when they get older and she just lives her live how she wants to. Liked the chemistry she has with the male counterparts even though they are 4 of them, but it never gets awkward or cringe, enjoyed the flirting and the lighthearted theme of it all.

Adorably bite sized!

Peng was a perfect fix for girls night! It's very short and sweet. The episodes are only 20 minutes long and there's only 10. I loved it I really wished it could have been longer maybe 30minute eps with 16 total episodes. The cast was great the the storyline was also great. I loved the characters dynamic, they really meshed well. The girls friends group was everything, The guys becoming friends was also everything. It was so freaking adorable and funny. It keeps you interested, and has just the right amount of drama to keep you hooked but not bogged down. It was lighthearted and fun. I really recommend it!
