And along the way, they will both dig deep to discover what true happiness actually means and how to live their lives to the fullest, even in the face of impending tragedy.
My Thoughts on 'Mr. Plankton'
My Personal Insights and Rating
‘Mr. Plankton’ almost defies categorization. It is a romantic drama with a healthy dose of dark comedy. It is chaotically funny, while at the same time, tragically deep and thought provoking. The cast is fabulous and the story will run you through all the feels.
But this drama is not your average kdrama, and it is definitely not a rom-com. Fans who go in expecting a quick, breezy love story will be surprised by the heavy themes and achingly honest character portrayals. But if you are willing to ride this emotional rollercoaster, I think you will find this tearjerker worthwhile and even fun at times. I give ‘Mr. Plankton’ a 9 out of 10 ramen.
