1 post | 1 read | 3 to read
In this smart and swoony adventure rom-com, a journalist and a movie star find themselves teaming up to cover up a murder...and falling for each other in the process. When freelance journalist Khin Haymar is assigned by Vogue to get a scoop on Tyler Tun, Hollywoods hottest movie, she's determined to succeed. Tyler has returned home to Myanmar to shoot his latest film, and if Khins able to get an exclusive, there may well be a permanent position waiting for her at Vogue Singapore. Tyler has a very private life and doesnt show any sign of letting down his walls for Khin. But then one night on set, a man follows Khin into the park. When he threatens her, Tyler steps in and things escalate fast. Khin knows they cant go to the police, even if this was self defense, and even if this stranger seems to have targeted her specifically. As Khin and Tyler work together to hide their secret and find out more about her attacker, they grow closer and Tyler finally starts opening up. But now the idea of writing the article gives Khin an uncomfortable morality-related guilt. Before long, everything hangs in the balance. Will they get away with murder? Can Khin get the expos she needs for her dream job? And is she willing to risk Tylers trust in the process?

While there are parts of this that require you to suspend disbelief, I Did Something Bad is so much more than just a romance with a hint of suspense. I would argue this is more about friendships, focusing on trust and belief, finding oneself, and even a bit of social justice issues.

I enjoyed getting to know the culture of Myanmar as I knew little outside of the civil unrest and armed conflict. ⬇️

Kristy_K Khin is a journalist on the cusp of a career move if she can get the scoop on movie star Tyler. What begins as a professional agreement escalates to friendship after Khin accidentally kills a man in self-defense. They decide not to come forward (for reasons explained) & while this becomes the underlying plot, the highlights are really about how their friendship grows from their connection on social issues & their relationship w/ their friends. 2w
