Seven Something (2012)

When I watched this I had no idea Nichkhun was in it. Shocked but not so shocked about the Noona Syndrome that played out. This is starting to become a really, really common theme nowadays. I could write a novel as to why I think it's so and how it goes hand in hand with the growing popularity of watching Asian dramas in the West... but I won't bore you. This last storyline is probably the most poignant in the movie since it's got a bit of a twist on the theme.

I didn't particularly like the 1st segment with the teenagers. Ironically, having 2 teenage boys of my own, it doesn't matter what country you are from, when it comes to social media, it does have a lot of impact and consequences my generation never dealt with before and we're parents and just as new at as they are.... so it's like the blind leading the blind. You cannot give away something you don't have so, the kids nowadays probably do tend to get lost when parents are just as moronic with the media as the kids are at it. It's a topic worth bringing up.

The 2nd segment just has good actors that I like to watch. Standard lost romance stuff, but still nice story arc to it.

OVERALL: It's not too emotionally investing and it has some food for thought. Definitely a nice relaxing entertaining diversion. Worth 2 hours on a rainy day with a cup of chamomile tea. lol....

First story is forgettable (I can't remember it even now:) The middle piece with Sunny Suwanmethanont & Cris Horwang️ is nice. The third one with that Munchkin or whatever his pet name has very intrusive voiceover all over it. I'm not fond of somebody telling me exactly which feelings I should have while watching something (we already have music for that!), describing things I can see for myself, or opinions I wish to form by myself. It reminds me of commercials (or 'Gossip Girl', lol). I know most of viewers think the 3rd story the best but I say either she needed to wear glasses or she didn't. Either this was about FRIENDSHIP or falling for someone 16 years younger. But, overall if I'd ignore the voiceover and the stairway scene it was also nice segment.
