Mesmerising
LIKEWhen Joon Yeong confessed his actions to Noh Eul during one of his interviews
When Joon Yeong told Yeong Ok the reason why he did not pursue his dream career
When Yeong Ok lamented in front of Hyun Joon
When Noh Eul cried in front of Yeong Ok but couldn't specify the reason
When Hyun Joon said he was the one who made the decision for fame
DISLIKE
Nothing to dislike - just shocked as UF was one of the first few dramas after DOTS that made me switched from HK to SK. Totally dropped HK as their storyline are too predictable.
MUSIC - personal fav
My Heart Speaks - Kim Na Young
From When and Until When - Tei
REWATCH VALUE
Yes someday I'll add to my list

This had been a drama that I had put off watching for a LONGGG time because I had heard things about how it ended and how it made people cry buckets, and I just didn't think I'd be able to deal with that. Well, lo and behold, Weekly Binge on Reddit decided to do it and I thought that there was no better time for me to get through Uncontrollably Fond.The drama started off super promising—even though I'm not a huge fan of overdramatic backstories and melodramas in general, I really liked how they portrayed the history between Eul and JY and why they separated. The fact that it was truly tragic was much better than the "noble idiocy" plot that so many dramas go for when making characters separate in their youth. This drama is also undoubtedly the one with the most "secrets" between characters I've seen so far, and it really felt like every character was connected to each other in some way.
The plot for Uncontrollably Fond was honestly kind of slow. It seemed to meander a lot, with the main characters' love story being wishy-washy while the actual plot was at a standstill where all the antagonists knew all the secrets and the main characters knew nothing. It definitely sped up after the 15th episode, and I think episodes 16-18-ish were probably my favorites because the plot finally developed.
After those episodes, though, episodes 19 and 20 seemed to slow down a little more and I can't help but feel like something about the way everything was resolved seemed very anticlimactic to me. I liked that there was sort of justice, but after the plot was so messily built up, I never felt like it hit a climax. Even though it was anticlimactic and just inconsistent with the tone of the rest of the drama, I can appreciate how realistic things played out, without any deus ex machina or last ditch plot twist.
Overall, still a quite nice watch, but it wasn't nearly as heart-breaking as I expected it to be.

Ehhhh..
Suzy bae is one of my favourite kdrama actresses and she did so well here...in most of her works she always outshines her cast members. Though I do admit Woobin also did well!! This kdrama had a good start but it got a little boring in the middle of it, i'd say it was a bit of a drag.. but once she had to stay with Woobins character it got a lot more interesting and I liked the tension that was built in between the main characters. This is a very heartbreaking kdrama though.. so if you're thinking of watching this then beware for that.Was this review helpful to you?
Yeah the writer did a good job in executing the inevitable, they could have been cruel but this is acceptable even with a broken heart.
When he fell asleep on her shoulder something happened to my heart for all I know dramas are gonna be the end of me. So yeah that's that this is a beautiful drama with realistic ending which will fuck up your feelings , bring out the demon in you, question your masculinity, I don't blame really blame people for dropping the ratings for this drama because some episode of this drama was really hard to watch not because it is bad but because it is sad and not everyone has the maturity to go through it i guess.

Mid episode review
This is my mid review of drama Uncontrollably Fond:Post 6 episodes :-
Sin Joon Young (Main Lead) 's mom is still pissing me off. I don't know about you all but I am annoyed by her attitude towards her son how she treats him who only wishes to see her and be loved by her.
(ps. I have not completed it yet and will continue watching it.. I will update my review after watching further.. Byee till then :)
Post 8 episodes :-
I am heartbroken seeing Sin Joon Young s efforts to gain the love of his mother and No Eul leaving behind all his pride and jealousy he is chasing her. Still she ignores him and throws him away. It hurts :(

the cast was really good,Kim Wo Bin was the one who made this story so realistic his acting is so good, the chemistry between the two leads was 7/10 but suzy had to work more on her acting skills she was off on some scenes, and the evil characters did their job really well.
the soundtrack of this drama will stay with me for a long time i really really loved it applause to who ever chose it.
at last, the way the story develops is a bit slow but i liked that,and the story was so unexpected in my opinion.
ill definitely re-watch it in the next 8 years, its worth to watch drama you should give it a try !

BUT THIS IS THE PEAK OF SUZY AND WOO BIN'S CAREERS, I MUST SAY. SUZY WAS JUST AS GOOD AS WOO BIN IN HERE. ONE OF THE FEW THAT MADE ME CRY! I HATE DRAMAS THAT ARE MAKING ME CRY. I CAN BARELY THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE. THE KICK OF THE MELLOWNESS OF THE DRAMA IS STRONG.

So overall I felt like this plot was pretty good, but it started off really slow. Due to this slow start a lot of people abandoned this drama & went on to something else. I’m pretty sad that the viewership rating was so low for this drama. The first 5 episodes consist of a lot of story building which tends to be slow, but they’re setting up the story. Once you hit Episode 6 the story really takes off. There’s a good amount of drama & cliffhangers that makes the plot pretty solid. This is a pretty sad drama so it can be depressing at times but I feel like that is sometimes real for a lot of people’s lives. It did have a sad ending, but again this makes the drama feel more life-like because life doesn’t always have a happy ending.
