i really enjoyed the acting it was brilliant
but i didn't see anything extraordinary at the story at all
or see the significance behind
yes it shows how all we had our own prob. to deal with
but many times i felt the stories are parallel to each other & had no connection
and the romance was reeeeeeeeeaaaaaaally COLD really
the drama had many open endings for most of the stories
which established the feeling inside me that the drama was for sure ( lukewarm) and the plot wasn't strong
any way it's for sure not my cup of tea

Beautiful
A Poem A Day’s story was a slow burn but I find myself happy with the journey and satisfied by its end. The relationships between the characters was low-key, there was never a big *gasp* moment, the good and heartbreaking things built up slowly just like in real life. And the poetry put words to feelings they didn’t dare speak of at times.I instantly fell in love with Bo-young in particular, flaws and all. She was hardworking and kind, full of emotion, but she needed to learn how to stand up for herself and speak up instead of just accepting the cards life deals her. Each time we saw her getting her hopes up about getting a full time job at the hospital, only to end up as deflated as her when things didn’t work out. And the worst part was the she just took it like that was it. That was her life. But Bo-young’s also had an amazing resilience and optimism, which always made her get back in her feet and push the story forward.
Lee Yoo-bi choose an amazing lady to play and she did it with grace and charisma, in a quiet but strong fashion that makes Bo-young one of my all time favorite leading ladies. She made me feel exactly what Bo-young was feeling and with the same intensity.
Which is why I’m so happy Bo-young not only got the job but also a colleague, friend and lover who truly appreciates who she is and everything she does in Dr. Ye. He noticed everything about her (and everyone) which is why I was a Ye Liner since day one. Dr. Ye Jae-wook was respectful, kind, smart and supportive in a quiet but unyielding way. The kind of person Bo-young really needed by her side when the story started in order to built up her confidence.
And I loved seen his development too. From the quiet, mysterious new perfect doctor at the hospital but a (perhaps) not so perfect personal history, all the way to becoming a dork with heart eyes for only our leading lady. He might have been portrayed many times as perfect through the eyes of others but I don’t actually find him to be perfect since his strong-headed personality was extremely infuriating at times.
Plus, I still think Dr. Ye trying to be low-key about his relationships with Bo-young was one of the cutest things I have seen all year. And the rest of the staff was so freaked out by his sudden attentive behavior. It was the best.
The show was also smart enough to set up Min-ho with all the usual leading man characteristics and behaviors only to throw us off when we realized he was actually the second lead. And it’s exactly all those traits that other shows disguise as “charming” what made him lose the girl in the end. It was a surprise how A Poem A Day called us out on our own acceptance of nasty leading men behavior. How we naturally continue the “pulling pigtails” myth.
It’s not that Min-ho was a bad person, not at all, and through the story he grew to be more attentive, kind and caring towards others. But his teasing of Bo-young was borderline bullying at times, going as far as ridicule her, the things she loved and everything else she did in private and public.
When Bo-young gifted him the poetry book for children I understood that Min-ho still had a long way to go before he could be able to properly love someone, in a way where he could respect and cherish them. In part it’s his family’s fault, they never cared enough to be like that with him and always treated him like second best but there’s a limit to that excuse since he was also a man with his own mind who knew right from wrong.
The Min-ho at the end of the show was a completely different man, going through heartbreak and rejection from the person who could have give him everything he has been looking for in his family is, in my opinion, his biggest regret at the end. Because now he’s aware that he missed a very important chance and person. Now, he can begin to truly appreciate the feelings portrayed through poetry in a way he couldn’t before.
As for the rest of the characters, they were fun, colorful and full of life. Each with their own poem, emotion and troubles. They managed to have their own spotlight and become the lead of the show when the time called for it, and then make way for the next person. I like how they also got their time to shine.
tvN has delivered one of the most beautiful slice of life tv shows I have seen in a long time. Giving light to those unremarkable moments that shape us. I used to wonder who the “you” was in the title, now I think the it was directed to us, the viewers, who look for extraordinary moments on television and perhaps forget to appreciate the small ones that belong to us and only us.

The story was unique, the relationship building between the different characters was quite good. There weren't any instances or scenes where anything was left unsaid or kept the viewer in mystery. I loved the OST, the cast and a very unique fact was that this drama is quite simple.
There are no plot holes, or complexities as you see in other K- dramas. All in all this was a very interesting watch and I would further go on to say that this drama is a must watch for those who love the Romantic Comedy Genre!

um dos doramas mais lindos que eu já vi. eu demorei muito pra terminar ele porque não queria me despedir dessa experiência tão linda que foi a poem a day, e agora posso andar junto com ela :')quero começar dizendo que se eu fosse fazer um top 10 protas das coisas que já vi, a boyoung estaria lá. ela é uma das mulheres mais dóceis, gentis e amáveis que eu já conheci, e como disse o dr. ye: obrigada por ter aparecido em minha vida.
e falando nesse senhorito, também queria citar que se eu fosse fazer um top 10 casais de doramas, ele estaria lá também.
esse dorama é a minha visão de casal ideal. onde eles se amam, e só querem o bem do outro, ficam felizes um pelo outro, se apaixonam pelos gostos um do outro e poderiam ficar horas e horas ouvindo seu amado falar sobre aquilo que ama. e ao mesmo tempo que são tão diferentes, são tão iguais, eu entro em um estado profundo de tristeza só de pensar na saudade que eu vou sentir dos meus surtos por esses dois. estarão sempre em meus corações.
e falando em personagens, nunca odiei tanto alguém como odiei o shin minho. nos meus comentários do tv showtime dá pra ver isso, mas sério, só sinto repúdio. o background dele não serve de justificativa pro tanto de babaquice que ele fez, e eu passei muito mal considerando a possibilidade dele ser o main lead.
os outros personagens são legais mas não me interessaram tanto quanto deveriam. achei muito repetitivo o daebang daebang e o jooyoung joonyoung, mas eles foram os primeiros que me fizeram chorar nesse dorama. o que me leva ao tópico: poemas.
eu não sabia que a literatura coreana era desse jeito, mas eu não estou surpresa de ser. acho que esse é o meu 1⁰ contato com ela. eu não estou acostumada com coisas diretas demais, mas os poetas me mostraram o quanto o real e o cotidiano pode ter a sua própria beleza. eu me emocionei em vários deles, principalmente pq se encaixavam muito com os momentos difíceis das personagens.
pelo primeiro episódio eu achei que não ia gostar tanto assim, mas a trama foi envolvente, trouxe histórias lindas e desenvolvimentos saudáveis e não saudáveis. é um dorama bem verossímil, que amei acompanhar e que vai ficar marcado em meu coraçãozinho ❤

Podia ser melhor
Eu tinha uma grande expectativa sobre esse dorama, deve ser por isso que acabei me decepcionando um pouco. Primeiro que eu achava que seria um dorama com mais melodrama, que fosse emocionante, que cada episódio sairia lagrimas, mas a realidade é mais comedia.Amei como correlacionaram os poemas com os acontecimentos.
Já em relação ao triangulo amoroso pra mim não fez diferença, porque um cara é chato e o outro é irritante, então qualquer um que ela ficasse daria na mesma, além de que não teve química, depois que o casal ficou junto ficou bem massante os episódios.
O que eu realmente mais queria era que focasse mais na profissão de fisioterapeuta, foi o primeiro dorama com o assunto e não foi bem explorado.

Meh
Un drama que de "medicina" tiene muy poco...la pareja principal fue muy linda, tenían buena química entre ellos y se veían muy tiernos en sus muestras de afecto. el tercero en discordia en este triangulo amoroso es el pasante ex interés amoroso de la protagonista, fácilmente entra al top 3 de los personajes mas detestables en triángulos amoroso y esto es lo que no entiendo del drama, osea estamos hablando de personas ya mayores que van a la universidad, ya piensan en trabajos y el futuro pero a este personaje lo plantean como alguien de 12 años enojado porque la chica que le gusta no le presta atención... POR DIOS !!!! QUE EN 2 O 3 AÑOS CUMPLIS 30, MADURA DE UNA BUENA VEZ.
La enorme cantidad de tramas secundarias que se abordan y después se abandonan me parece increíble
En fin, un drama mas olvidable que disfrutable... el punto mas fuerte es la pareja principal y nada más

Não crie expectativas
Este drama não de todo ruim porém está longe de ser bom. A história é interessante até certo ponto depois fica sem ruma e estagnada. Os personagens eram chatos, desinteressantes , você até se interessa um pouco por eles no inicio mais depois como não há progresso você apenas deixa lá.A protagonista feminina era lamentavél, era fraca , totalmente dependente emocional, eu sentia vergonha toda vez que ela estava em cena, ela não agia conforme sua idade para mim suas ações eram infantins em sua maioria, era irritante ver ela chorando e se lamentanto em 95% das cenas. Do inicio ao fim ela não progredio .
O romance não funcionou, era péssimo, aquele amor dos protagonistas não tinha base fico me pergunto qual foi o momento que o Dr Ye se apaixonou por ela. Eles não tinham quimica nenhuma era estranho velos juntos parecia um amor paternal ou algo do tipo, acho que ficaria menos pior se ela ficasse com o segundo protagonista, no qual pelo menos esse eu vi algum progresso, deixou de ser aquele menino irritante mimado e se transformou em algo melhor.
O que me manteve até o fim foi as histórias dos pacientes e os momentos da poesia
Em fim não recomendo que você assista a não ser que queira algo bem leve para passar seu tempo, ainda sim eu te diria que melhores opções por ai.
