Min-a struggles with Yong-bok's strange sexual sensation every day and night. There's nothing to do, and I'm out of the autumn breeze. I'm attracted to something I don't know, and I keep staring. One day, he finds Min-a riding on a swing in the open space and keeps staring at her. She cares about having sex with girlfriend Seri. That's why I don't even have sex with Seri. Seri ordered a pizza and Min-ah arrived. I'm on the way to deliver the pizza, but I don't know it's Min-A's house I've been watching. My heart is starting to tremble. As the door opens and Min-A is seen, she starts to stutter. Jung-do and Min-ah continue to meet secretly when there is no Yongbok. They go to the park to play and eat delicious food in the restaurant. Jung-do and Min-ah are making love one night. Yong-bok finally comes home from work.

Netflix’s new rom-com, Voicemails for Isabelle (dir. Leah McKendrick), isn’t just heartwarming, funny, and an achievement in female directing - it’s also an instant classic.

Ever since her beloved sister Izzy’s (Ciara Bravo) death, Jill has been leaving her hilarious, extremely TMI voicemails about her chaotic love life and miserable day job as a prep cook. Little does she know that a handsome and unsatisfied real estate agent in her hometown has inherited the number and practically fallen in love with her by listening to her stories.
