The Gentlemen of Wolgyesu Tailor Shop (2016)

Un des meilleurs Kdramas familiaux

Très bon drama romantique et familial.

51 épisodes (zappé quelques épisodes malgré tout car le tempo est parfois lent), mais on ne s'ennuie pas car il y a de l'humour, des personnages bien développés et attachants, une alchimie indéniable dans le CL, du suspens,...
C'est une excellente comédie !
La réalisation efficace et l'histoire parfaitement écrite.
Les OST sont bien adaptés (pas mal de bonne musique occidentale) et apportent une note légère.
Le ton est purement comédie, sans "great villain" mais avec des triangles amoureux obsessifs (le cliché des rom-com :)

Les acteurs nous font vivre cette histoire avec talent. Bravo ! Je ne peux pas les citer tous (car ils sont nombreux) mais ils donnent tous une performance formidable.

Its hard to find a long drama (50+ episodes) that actually manages to keep your attention the entire time. The problem with long dramas is that they usually tend to drag out plot lines, or insert the characters in stupid, unnecessary situations. This show was a nice change of pace from those other shows, and delivered something those shows don't. A great plot, with engaging characters.

Plot~
The plot focuses on a tailor shop and the clothing industry, which to be honest I know nothing about. It still has its cooperate moments, but its a different stroke than the usual office setting. The show mostly focused on how a small family own business could compete with a large,cooperate business. The focus on family and friendship is one the parts that won me over. The story follows about 5 story lines that all interconnect, and it does a great job of going into detail and developing each plot line. The bromance between the main 4 men was also adorable. Every time they got together, a slow motion scene was ensured, followed by chaos and me dying from laughter. I like all the couples but my favorite was Tae Yang and Hyo won. It was a change of pace to actually meet a nice rich girl who wan't scared to go after what she wants. This story-line also allowed us to understand the "villains" of the show and learn more about the "evil" brother.

Characters~
Once again I love them all! The main cast was diverse and filled with great characters. The female lead did have some annoying moments, but there were very little. I loved the Hyo Won and her mother! This family was supposed to the bad guys in the story but they were all so funny and the only one who was semi-evil was the brother. But it was still hard to hate him because the truth is he is just a over protective older brother, and a mama's boy. The story does a great job of developing these characters and adding depth.

Overall I really enjoyed this story and I was sad to see it end. I will definitely re-watch it, but because of the length (51 episodes is a bit too much for me) I will only re-watch certain parts. I definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a good family drama, with cute couples, funny bromance, and lovable villains.
