    pudgyjeon's movie review was featured in The Devil Wears Prada 2.
    There was much hype around this movie, which is set in the world of high-fashion, high-stakes, and low tolerance for mistakes. The sequel to a much loved first, this movie had the bar set high. And before I get into what held it back, there were some aspects that were good. The costumes were modern and luxurious enough to fit the scenes, and I thought they did that well. The script included some more modern slang as well, making it feel truly like a reboot into this new era. And the directors were able to incorporate some contemporary problems that helped the movie's plot feel more relatable. However, the whole thing felt a little bit washed and forced. Part of what made The Devil Wears Prada so rewatched was that nostalgic, 2000's feel. And the remake is pretty much devoid of that. So while it was enjoyable enough to watch, the remake won't ever be as iconic as the original.

    pudgyjeon's book review was featured in Romeo and Juliet.
    Two star-crossed lovers, divided by last name, united in love. There's no clear bad or good, right or wrong side in this play, just a couple trying their hardest to make it work. And, of course in cruel irony, they become the poster children for premature death. And, in between it all is a deep web of sociopolitics, timing, and motives. No wonder most high schoolers have read this in school, because it definitely teaches many lessons. This play is a bit hard to understand, due to it being written in the 1590's, so I would recommend it for an older age group. It also lightly touches on slightly mature themes. However, once you can understand the words of Shakespeare, it truly is a time-withstanding love story.

    pudgyjeon's book review was featured in Wish.
    The dreamy sunset cover, soft and inviting, spoke to me when I was just a fourth grader with my mom's money at the school's book fair. I read it, and of course, loved it. Now, many years later, on summer break, the same book had that air that invited you to read it. And even from a more matured point of view, the book still hit. The main character, Charlie Reese, kicks people and yells and says mean things. Yet, somehow she's still so lovable and you just want to wrap her in a hug. Her family is separated, perhaps being the root of her behavior, and life throws so many curveballs that her life is upside down. But, like a gift from heaven on four legs is Wishbone, an adorable stray to be by her side through it. And, of course, there's the always forgiving Howard. Because kids were so cruel to him that he became the kindest. And between losses, lessons, and endless love, there just is so much good spilling from this book.
