You Make Me Dance (Movie) (2021)

You Make Me Dance "made me want to dance"

A short drama that caught my attention for the dance theme and the aesthetics as well.

Basic summary.... A good drama, touching and engaging like every Korean drama. The actors are good, have good chemistry and I recommend it for those who like a light romance without much catching. If you want a short story, without much believable development and with a cute love, this drama can please you as it pleased me.

Now the whole review:
First you need to start watching knowing that the story is not meant to give you great conflicts and surprising twists, it is a light and relaxed cliché, which yes, could be better if it had another purpose. I believe that for what the program announces there is a very satisfactory delivery. You Make Me Dance was one of the dramas on my list that took me the longest to watch, but as I recently saw that it was shorter, I decided to end my procrastination soon. And what an experience my friends, really heartwarming and making him dance to the beat of every dance, dialog and scene. As I said the actors have chemistry and I follow a classic drama script, very light and without those hot kisses - except for the first one in the office, which for me was the best.
I think it was the only thing that left me with a taste of wanting more, I wanted a little more intensity - it's not chemistry, because it has plenty in the looks and conversations. I loved the soundtrack and I already have some songs saved on my Spotify cof cof hahaha.

No Spoiler:
Unlike other small series I've seen, I believe this one had a round end and left me satisfied, without that feeling of "Oh my God, why did it end if there could still be more?". Because it didn't need more and if it had maybe it would spoil - unlike the last review you wrote about Semantic Error, YMMD is a treat with a nice and cute ending.
I really enjoyed the moments I spent with this drama and I really hope more people can be influenced to watch it by my review.

Spoiler:
I liked the way they developed Shi On, a boy who was forced to grow up and mature on his own after a regretful abandonment, and who still trusts people and wants them around, even if he is rejected. He tries hard and puts effort into everything he does and that's why he doesn't lose their love. As for Hong Seok, I have to admit that I was angry with him at the end for hurting my baby Shi On, but he ended up making the right decision and leaving the boss going back to his beloved. The end even made me like the chief collector, who released him from his promise. The legend of the red thread might be a beaten and overused one, but here it works and makes everything even cuter - the first scene made me smile like a little girl in love hahaha. The two needed to find each other and really form a couple that can't be separated and when a novel manages to leave this feeling in the viewer, ladies and gentlemen, this is a good novel. When you believe that nothing can stop them and that no matter the difficulty, they will get through it together.

Light-hearted and Cute, but Unrealistic and Illogical

Completed - 2/18/2022 - 7.75 rating

If you are not watching this aired weekly, it's best to watch the movie version than the drama version. The story flows better and it's not as fragmented. This is a cute and light-hearted BL drama/movie, with decent chemistry and somewhat good-looking actors. Also, something is wrong with the synopsis here, "After a serious row, he is thrown out of the family home and is left with an emotional wound. " <--- I didn't see that happening!! Serious row? Thrown out??

What I enjoy:
1. I like the bus scene with their pinkies in the air. Really cute!
2. Cute interactions between the leads.
3. Great songs - Korean BL dramas never disappoint me with their songs.
4. Production value seems decent enough for a low-budget web drama.

What I don't enjoy (spoilers):
1. The acting of Won Hyung Hoon (Creditor) is not very good. I know his character is supposed to be quiet, but he comes off as bland and emotionless.
2. Unrealistic and illogical plot lines (stop reading if you don't want my cynicism to spoil your happy bubble):
= Will a debt collector really trust you enough to extend your loan payment for a month after a dance that's not even that good?
= The whole debt collector profession in this drama is unrealistic.
= If a debt collector moves in with you, you should kick him out immediately (DANGER!), no matter how nice he seems.
= Just because Shi On got the audition to play the lead role, doesn't mean he automatically has money. He actually has to work first to get paid. Why does it seem like the loan is totally forgiven all of a sudden?
= If they assume the loan is forgiven, then why did Hong Seok leave Shi On in the end? As Shi On said, the previous relationship ended and they can start anew. Why leave? I still don't get it.

Though it seems like I dislike this drama/movie, I did have an enjoyable time. I needed something light and short, and it suits my needs. I just can't give it a higher rating, as it doesn't seem fair to the other dramas that I rated a 8.0 and above.
