More Than Friends (2020)

?Hola a todos, ¿Cómo están? Ayer terminé de ver More Than Friends y tuve la maravillosa idea de traerles una mini reseña al feed.

La serie gira entorno a Kyung Woo Yeon, una calígrafa, y a Lee Soo, un fotógrafo. Ellos son amigos desde la adolescencia, ¿o más que amigos?
Woo Yeon está enamorada de Lee Soo hace die
z años, pero él parece no sentir lo mismo que ella. Durante los 16 capítulos iremos viendo como estos dos amigos viven un amor siempre a destiempo, lleno de malentendidos y complicaciones.

Decidí ver este drama porque me llamó mucho la atención el póster. La empecé sin grandes expectativas, y dentro de todo me llevé una gran sorpresa. Pensé que iba a ser uno de esos doramas que solo se centran en la pareja principal y en nada más, pero por suerte esta serie le da bastante protagonismo a los personajes secundarios, principalmente a las amigas de la protagonista. Es muy interesante ver las distintas personalidades y problemas que tienen cada una de ellas, y te dan ganas de saber más sobre las chicas. Creo que esto es de lo que más me gustó de la serie.

Pasemos a los protagonistas, que son el eje central:
El personaje de Kyung Woo Yeon me gustó mucho, a veces se me hacía un poco “densa” con todo este amor no correspondido, pero en líneas generales me gustó muchísimo, me parecía súper simpática, y me gustó ver cómo con el avance de la serie fue creciendo y aprendiendo a quererse a sí misma.
El personaje de Lee Soo, me pareció ok. Al principio tenía un poco de conflictos con él porque me parecía un poco egoísta, pero con el correr de los capítulos se redimió un poco. Igualmente, no llegué a enamorarme de él.
Por otro lado tenemos a Ohn Jun Soo, el second lead. Cuando apareció yo estaba living con él, tenía todo lo digno de un Second Lead Syndrom, pero a medida que pasaban los episodios se puso medio denso, no entendía un par de cosas que la prota le decía y eso terminó haciendo que pierda todo mi interés en él.

La pareja principal no me disgustó, pero tampoco me encantó. Es cómo que tenían momentos súper cutes, pero no terminó de “matarme” su historia de amor. Lo que sí destaco de ellos, es que notaba que tenían mucha química.
Está lejos de ser uno de mis doramas favoritos, pero si ya no saben qué ver y tienen ganas de algo bastante entretenido y muy bonito visualmente, denle una oportunidad

Wow.

I've been watching dramas for a very long time. And I've had a lot of experiences with these types of stories. But never in my life have I seen a cast that has just been so unlikeable from the very start of the show.

The female lead is an absolute doormat who can't stay away from the male lead to save her life even though she wants him to stay away from her? She is introduced as a bad person, she's incapable of giving affection to anyone aside from her crush but yet she continues to date people regardless. She plays with people's feelings and we're expected to feel bad for her? Why would I care about someone who repeatedly continues to step on other peoples feelings. Her drunkenly calling the male leads number is not cute... Its JANK af.

And the male lead has emotional issues
(cuz of his weird ass parents that I can't even begin to understand? The "trauma" that he has due to them just seems STUPID, with the way he was acting I thought he was abused or something?)

but instead of confronting them, he continues to play games with a female leads feelings? He's a narcissist and he is freaking annoying and I'm tired of the misunderstood jerk trope. He manipulates her heart strings like some Machiavellian villain controlling with his favorite puppet. He rejects her over and over and she STILL can't get a damn clue? She tells him to leave her alone but he forcibly invades her life like some sort of chronic disease. Even when she makes it clear she does not want to see him at ALL, He forces her to see him anyway and interact with him even when she's making the effort to try an get over him( good for her). He starts liking her magically when she starts giving the 2nd ML the time of day. His ego won't allow her to forget him and cease being a source of amusement for him. I honestly found myself wondering if he even thought of her as a person?

Women chasing men who don't want they ass is so tired and played out. We need to move on from that y'all, its 2020.

Aside from the second male lead none of the main characters are likeable. The idea of them having a relationship built on desperation and pathetic schoolgirl crush syndrome is honestly kind of disgusting, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE ML HAS NO RESPECT FOR HER WHATSOEVER.

This drama is a Trainwreck but I will finish it. I must. Hopefully it'll get better.

Edit: Alright. Someone took a fat dump inside of a side characters car. I hate it here and I want to go home.

Final thoughts: the drama put me to sleep on more than one occasion. I loathe the progression of their relationship. Not to mention the needless pushing and pulling... This drama itself is a cliché and I'm tired of this. This drama gets a fat juicy F.
