Understated but in the best way

This show is so understated compared to the other shows at the top of my list but in the best way. It is just pitch-perfect with its wit and chemistry between the characters - the writer gave it a pensive and yearning tone that really hit home and was reinforced by the A+ soundtrack. Bonus points for one of the most romantic first "real" kiss scenes in a k-drama. And so much love for Our Kitty!

"...If we don't try hard, we won't understand each other."

I first watched this drama when I was 14 or so. Of course, a teenager wouldn't be able to completely understand the dilemma of being an adult. Every time I have watched this drama since then, I have seemed to understand it better than the last time.

I think it's hard to put this show into words, mostly because of how much it means to me. All the emotions I associate with the characters and the plot are complex. The characters have shaped my life in a great way. The way I think and feel mirrors what I have learnt from them. It truly did make me appreciate relationships and people much more.

I think everyone should what this drama in their 30s to truly appreciate the depth of the story.

An extraordinary drama

The drama is good, but I think it is cruel how women ignore the protagonist's selfishness and cruelty ... If it were a man acting like JI-Ho, I'm sure he would be the most hated character in kdrama ...

However, I noticed that Ji-ho was always portrayed as selfish, she always did what she wanted, that was explicit in the show. And although she says she loves ML it is clear that it is not a sincere love since she flirted with that stalker boy without hesitation and even flirted with ML's ex wife. (I didn't quite understand it, the protagonist's former wife became explicitly interested sexually in FL and being reciprocal, but there was no reason for that because the show did not explore any of this)

Anyway it's a great show, I really liked being frustrated with the last 2 episodes because it showed the real personality of the protagonist - A brave, independent, stingy and also selfish woman. It is the first drama that I hoped for the protagonist couple not to be together in the end, a pity that they ended up together, I felt sorry for ML who needs to change his personality and his way of being to please a selfish woman who doesn't love him like he loves Is it over there.

Watch this!!

I really, really liked this drama and I’d like everyone to give this drama a go!

What I liked:
- both male and female leads
- the supporting cast is great on the whole (other than a few irksome ones, but of course)
- the kissing scenes are wow - so delicious
- the chemistry between the leads
- how cool Lee Min Ki is

What I didn’t like:
- some angst (normal though)
- the supporting actress who just wants to get hitched is, imo, mad and super annoying

Overall, wonderful! I super HEART this show! Watch. Watch. Watch.

I'm a simple gal. It doesn't take a lot to impress me. Give me a good looking guy with an adorable personality and I'll be satisfied. To be honest, I wasn't too impressed with the last two episodes but the cuteness at the end made it up for me. I honestly am probably gonna change the rating to a 10 because I loved the main couple so much. Great chemistry!
Ah, Lee Min Ki. It amazes me how much you creeped me out in the movie Monster yet I was still able to fall for you in this. Seriously, a great actor.
Honestly, its hard to find romcoms like these which is why I loved it so much. Up until the end, there weren't any unnecessary misunderstandings and they didn't let the parents fuck with their lives/relationship. Loved the friendships between the women. The side couples were annoying at times, especially Ho Rang and Won Seok. I really loved the friend Soo Ji though, she is so like me!

definitely worth the recommendation if you want something faster phased story please skip it

I really loved it no dout on that also seriously the last episodes where super hard. Let me bring it i recently watched because it was leaving Netflix in my region and I just completed the beyond your touch. I wanted watch any one previous shows of his become he is so good on both show.
I really didn't anticipate the story will be slice of life style drama until the very moment i clicked play but it was so good. The character well developed no one felt left out and the writing is done in a very good manner.
Where did it go wrong the writer plot of the female career i still like did she decided to leave everything that so stupidity. Second after 14 episodes the writing went on to expand one episode into two instead of creating a two episodes worth content.
Other than these two it's so close to be perfect but still i really loved the show talking it value of writers and actors capacity to act.
Finally i definitely recommend if you want something fast pase please skip it. This is a slice of life drama to its core super slow and character driven story.

Impossible to move past my disliking of the main male lead

Things I liked:

1 The premise. I liked the concept of living together and even the fake marriage and that's why I wanted to give it a chance.

2 The actress. I quite like the actress and she's the reason I checked this out.

3 The opening scenes. I thought it was funny and had high expectations.

4 The secondary roles. I think they have potential. I'd love to go through with this to see if I'm right.

Things I hated:

1 The ML. I gave it a fair chance, but it's beyond my capabilities to continue watching him. I feel like I'll have nightmares for days. He seems like a robot and no, it's not the role. He's just an awful actor. He has no chemistry with the heroine and it felt like I was punishing myself watching him act.

Assistam essa Joia Rara rapidamente!

Esse drama é realmente encantador e merecia um maior destaque!
Demorei a engatar nesse drama. Passei por ele algumas vezes mas não me pareceu interessante no primeiro momento. E sim, estou muito arrependida já que poderia ter visto esta maravilha antes.

Um casamento de fachada. E assim começa essa maravilhosa história sobre amor, mas acima de tudo sobre conflitos e amadurecimentos que passamos em nossa vida e em como uma coisa está totalmente ligada a outra. E tudo é nos mostrado tão sutilmente, com uma naturalidade que impressiona, você se prende desde o primeiro episódio. A série aborda as especiais e pequenas coisas e como elas se somam para construir tudo que podemos aproveitar da vida. Problemas em relacionamentos, problemas financeiros, profissionais e familiares são o que torna tudo mais sincero pois todos passam por isso.
O mais legal desta trama é a sinceridade que traz para todos que estão vendo. É original, divertido e apaixonante. O elenco é maravilhoso, você se encanta por todos os personagens e se identifica com cada um. Todos têm seus defeitos e suas características marcantes, é isso que aproxima a história de todos que estão assistindo.
A história se desenrola dentro de três casais com três visões sobre o casamento e o amor:. Os casais tem profundidade em suas ações, erram, aprendem e se completam ao decorrer da jornada. o primeiro, o casamento sem amor em que ao longo do caminho o sentimento surge; o segundo, o casamento como um ideal de vida, um sonho de realização; e o último, o amor conflitante, em que se imagina que o amor atrapalha seus objetivos de vida.
Podemos dizer que esse Drama trata as diferentes fases da vida em um relacionamento, fases que todos podemos passar ou não, mas que com certeza são possíveis de acontecer. Em todas as situações nos é mostrado a mensagem que é algo em que os dois devem passar e aceitar juntos, que devem aprender um com o outro para assim seguirem na mesma estrada.
Além de tudo isso, ainda trata de tantos outros assuntos como assédio, machismo, valores patriarcais, são tantos ensinamentos que você pode obter neste drama! Tudo isso atrelado a uma trilha sonora maravilhosa!

Está entre os melhores dramas que assisti.

O que era para ser mais uma comédia romântica, se tornou uma aula de como se relacionar bem com sua companheira ou seu companheiro. De como podemos estar com um coração duro e gelado devido às nossas convicções e à nossa visão de vida. Abri-lo é uma tarefa bem árdua que muitas vezes só é possível através de um amor verdadeiro, que possa compreender e quebrar esta barreira intransponível.

Os dois atores principais são excelentes e o enredo tem uma dinâmica ótima, sempre nos envolvendo.

E o final, mesmo não sendo surpreendente, foge um pouco do clichê, completando a história como um todo.

Que roteiro maravilhoso!

Não consigo parar de pensar nesse kdrama!! Simplesmente me conquistou já
no primeiro episódio quando o personagem do ator Lee Min Ki fala:

"Tempo é somente o momento atual."

Não tem 1 ano que sai de uma crise de maturidade exatamente sobre o tempo,
de como o tempo é relativo e que o presente é vida!

Então continuando assistindo pq é maravilhoso completamente, tem muitas referências literárias,
fiquei sedenta por mais. Os dois leem um livro juntos que se chama: 'Embora nada mude se vc chorar.'
E ele lendo meu chamou a atenção esse trecho:

"Palavras nascem da boca da pessoa e morrem no ouvido da pessoa.
Mas algumas palavras não morrem. E entra no coração da pessoa
e continua vivendo."

Não sei se o livro é real, mais realmente fiquei muito curiosa pra ler o livro todo! Ai que vontade de
ler em coreano, que delícia de seriado, vi em 4 dias e passou voando!! É surpreendente a evolução do
personagem Nam See Hee e como me encanta a interpretação do ator Lee Min Ki! Me conquistou!!
Vou carregar esse kdrama dentro do meu coração pro resto da vida!!
Nota 10 em tudo!! Amei, que história adulta e feminina!!
Tem tantas resenhas legais aqui, mas decidi que não tinha como ficar calada e não compartilhar
minhas palavras de satisfação em ver um kdrama tão bom assim!!

Because this is my first life! Because i loved!

Une romance tout en douceur

Si vous avez envie d’un moment de douceur, de romance sans rebondissement multiple, alors ce drama est pour vous.

L’histoire tourne quand même beaucoup autour du couple principal, les histoires secondaires ne sont pas très marquées, c’est dommage.

Le lead masculin a quand même une façon de vivre bien à part, qui me fait penser à des troubles du genre autistiques. Mais justement, Lee Min Ki le porte très bien et est très attachant.

Young So Min est juste et pleine de fraîcheur.

Bref il ne faut rien en attendre de plus qu’une belle romance un peu atypique mais c’est justement ce qui m’a plu dans ce drama. Un peu de douceur de ce monde toujours en mouvement.

Abstratamente viciante e cheio de reflexões

Um drama tão incrível!
Não tem como dizer isso de outra forma! No começo é tudo bem engraçado, principalmente no quisito casamento por contrato, mas como passar dos episódios e os pensamentos dos personagens sendo cada vez mais abordado você consegue ver de fato a profundidade de todos eles!Os três casais apresentados foram totalmente divertidos e cada um com um característica unica!
A trama tem um toque incrível de empoderamento, comédia e romance (onde você torcia e muito)
Sem palavras para descrever esse drama incrível!
