Você Está Apaixonado? (2020)

I didn't hate it, I didn't love it. I was confused a few times, but it was overall a cute story that you really shouldn't think too much about.

Plot-wise, it was okay. It felt like the writers had an idea and just ran with it without considering how it would fit in a three-part story arc. I would argue that this had a two-part mountain. Not even an arc. The culmination of it all was a little underwhelming. There's a potential to address serious issues, but since this is a light, airy romance, don't expect it to be addressed.

Acting was above average all around. There was never really a scene which called for difficult acting, but I'm giving 7/10 because the casting was solid. Sung Hoon's been better in other dramas - he was very shouty in this one. Could be the directing, though. But his acting didn't reach his eyes, so that's a bummer. He should stop playing jerk roles and get one where he's an absolute marshmallow. Kim So Eun was great! She conveyed the internal conflict, the desperation, and the playfulness of So Jun really well. Supporting characters were sweet.

Music was nice, but this didn't really have memorable songs in it - it was mostly background elevator music.

Would not rewatch. There's no real conflict, there's no real heart-fluttering moments, and there's no real reason to put myself through that again.
