Weekly Squee #15 » Dramabeans Korean drama recaps

KPop Demon Hunters [Netflix]

S P O I L E R S

The film was cute, and the songs were catchy. My favorites were “What It Sounds Like” for HUNTR/X and “Your Idol” for Saja Boys (Baby’s rapping, squee), as well as the Gwi-Ma song Jinu strummed on his bipa in hell. I love the play on words with Saja Boys’ name for both lion (saja) and Grim Reaper (jeoseung-saja). The jokes were all meta not only for K-pop fans but also for fans of Ahn Hyo-seop. I squeed when they played “Love, Maybe” by MeloMance from Business Proposal OST during Jinu’s entrance.

I wanted more romance between Rumi and Jinu. The lyrics of “Free” were practically a confession, so when he took her hand, was that not the start of their relationship? Squee at Jinu wearing their bracelet onstage! I wish he had given it back to her at the end and changed what the bracelet seller said, “Don’t find yourself a better boy.” Rumi’s a half-demon, so she would just be following her mother’s footsteps by falling in love with a demon.

I LOVE THE GIANT BLUE TIGER DERPY SM!! The way he knocked over the flowerpot and tried to paw it back up, ROFL! Then being fixated on Rumi’s knocked over trash bin, LOL! Jinu’s tiger and bird even sleep at her house like she’s watching his pets. How domestic, SQUEE!!

The other members of either group weren’t fleshed out, but this was just supposed to be superficial and fun. Although instead of shipping Rujinu, it would’ve been a more realistic take on K-pop fandom for fans to ship say, Rumira or Jinabby.
