Awkward and devoid of comedy...
paul_haakonsen15 November 2023
I stumbled upon the 2019 stand-up comedy special from Park Na-Rae by random chance whilst perusing the Netflix catalogue of stand-up comedy shows. And this was actually my first introduction to Korean stand-up comedy. I was familiar with Park Na-Rae from the "Zombieverse" series.

I have to say that I didn't find Park-Na Rae to be funny at all. It was a strained affair to sit through the jokes and watch her stumble about on the stage. Perhaps it was the language barrier that caused the comedy to lose its luster and laughter in translation. I suppose the "Park Na-Rae: Glamour Warning" show would be more fun if you speak and understand Korean, and not have to read the subtitles.

It was somewhat awkward to watch Park Na-Rae on the stage, as it was like watching a fish out of water on the scene.

I ended up giving up on watching "Park Na-Rae: Glamour Warning" after a mere 15 minutes, but by then I just couldn't take anymore of the suffering and the boredom that was passing on the screen. Park Na-Rae certainly was not a comedian that appealed to my taste in comedy or my sense of humor. And I have zero interest in returning to attempt watching the rest of the show.

My rating of "Park Na-Rae: Glamour Warning" lands on a two out of ten stars.

Gutsy performance in a conservative country
besseyroth-8330918 October 2019
Stand up comedy is a new medium in Korea and talking about sex is taboo in the Korean entertainment industry , especially for a woman. Park Na Rae is the first woman to do a stand up special and cover such issues in her performance. She bravely takes a risk as a popular comedian in Korea and delivers a funny and refreshing performance in a country that is often scared to push the boundaries in comedy.

Solid stand up

I'm already a fan of her comedic ways. Nice to see honest, funny stand up that changes the way I think about Korean stand up. Especially after watching Yoo Byung Jae's and was sadlly disappointed with his standup special where It felt more like a lecture.
