True to Love

Depressing & All the Females are unpleasant. No relationships worth rooting for

AKA; Bo Ra! Deborah By episode 4 I really hated ALL the women. By episode 7 I thought that the sobbing would be done , but Nope, Female lead is still wailing despite the fact that SHE was bored in the relationship ! Conniving women yelling ,blame shaming & being arrogant power trippers make it crystal clear why they are unhappy. they aren't misunderstood or in need of a good man, they are toxic manipulators fixated on an ideal that they pursue like a banshee. I wouldn't be friends with women like that so the idea that any man would want a piece of that is Ludacris !The cheater is obviously a jerk, and I'm not saying that the other men are perfect, but being a clueless idiot is way better than being a scheming, manipulative , angry, aggressive female. By Episode 8 I just felt depressed and sick of all the female's smug, smirky superior attitude. he men :RUN away as fast as you can! I have seen the female lead in other things, and this just ruins watching her in anything again.

What a little happy gem!

I’ve been longing for. Decent romcom for well, a long time! The last 12 months saw a number of good melodramas but not a single good romcom! Let’s face it, we need a room com more than anything when the world is going mad!

The story is light, yet gripping and with the right balance and speed - nothing was overworked and too stretched. They didn’t take the married couple or the office couple, nor the divorced couple too far and too cheesy.

The cast is so good and chemistry between the actors was very good for me offering the right punch of goofy and more serious elements. I’m really impressed by the male lead simply because I know the female lead from Gobling and other dramas and she is really good , but he is new on me as a strong lead. Watch your space, I recon he can deliver much more complex roles!
My only complain would be the role of the office admin - it was a bit too cliche and the character came across too childish to be believable for me.

The first film in a long time which will happily rewatch. More like this one, please!

I watched this drama because of Joo Sang Wook (Sang Jin) I can say that it is a good drama. The 4 love stories are the reality of life. The FL and ML lost and found love with each other, Bo mi and Jin Ho fell in love at their young age, the married couple remain to stay with each other even though they have personality differences and I don't find the love story of Sang Jin and Uri cringy at all it does happen it real life that even of big age gap some people fell in love. Over all I find this drama entertaining and fun to watch, it made me cry, it made me laugh. its 10/10 for me 💜❤️ I hope to see Joo Sang Wook in more rom com drama because I am a big fan ❤️💜

Gifted Acting, Finely Crafted Story, Best of 2023

I write my review below (after the “——“) and then decided I needed to add a bit:

I am truly mystified by some of the reviews of this show. I never want to say anything negative about people on the internet, but I just don’t get it. The negativity is amazing. Pointing out how the writers never spoke to women before, that it made all women look stupid??? Both the men and women were flawed - as are real people. Yeah, the characters could be annoying and frustrating, but have we not encountered these types of people in our lives? Have we not made dumb decisions that we look back on and can’t believe we did that? I sure have. This drama is no worse in that regard than countless other KDramas and CDramas which did not garner such reviews. This series just did a better job than almost off of the others with such flawed characters. :-(

————

When I read that this series was coming, I was truly excited. Touch Your Heart is my all time favorite KDrama. While everything about that show was great, it was Yoo In-Na's acting - her interpretation of her role - that was genius and made the show truly special. Could she pull it off again?

And I was not disappointed! Once again, she was the true driving force behind a series and elevated it to be as good as it possibly could be. She delivered a master class in acting, IMHO. Her ability to communicate emotions. The uniqueness of her expressions and the inflections of her voice... Amazing. Thanks to the those who cast her as Deborah!

I fee a bit like a broken record, because Kdrama acting is often so good, but I just have to say it. Everyone cast in this series was phenomenal.

Yoon In Na... Well, I've said it. She makes this story shine and we feel for her throughout the arc of the story.

Yoon Hun-Min as the male lead was so good. Dang, watching his character was so frustrating! So obviously he nailed the role and made it believable no matter how unbelievable it could have been.

Hwang Chan-Sung's role as the ex. I hated his guts! His acting sparked the feelings we were meant to feel.

Park So-Jin was sooo good in Sh**ting Stars.** And she was fantastic here. Her portrayal of a women in a listless marriage truly had our sympathy. She is just so darn good the I hope to see here as a lead in series to come. I’ll watch anything that features Ms. Park.

Let's hope we see so much more of Kim Ye-Ji. She is so cute and really did well in what I think is a difficult role - both strong and unsure of herself at the same time.

The story: Once again the Koreans' writing craft is so amazing. This was a tightly woven tapestry of multiple couple's evolving relationships. There was not a dull minute for my wife or I and we could not wait for each new episode. As the story was coming to an end I could not believe we had seen 13 episodes already and we were almost done. No feeling of, "This is starting to drag and I need to fast forward" in this series! I know we won't get it, but Season 2 please!

My one complaint is that at key points, the Male Lead did not communicate and it was just hard to believe. I am sure there are people who are, in a sense, broken like that. But he was given so many chances... Yeah, I know it can happen, I was pretty much that screwed up when I was young. But watching it drove me nuts! Then again, the story had me locked in so the writers obviously know what they are doing. :-)

A series of it's own kind

Bora Deborah has been a great watch throughout...every episode was better then the prior episode. It's not a drama with some extremely heavy story line or complex characters rather it deal with complex emotions of our life. Drama doesn't has any out of tge blue story line..it was something which happen around us. As if we are the characters and a phase of our life has been shown...drama represented every stage of love..falling in love, struggling together, slowly opening to each other , having deep talks with only that special someone and at the end longing for a happy ending.
Main lead two pole apart personalities..their childhood was a very minor detail but it helped us to understand their characters and why they are like this ! Both of them don't want to end up like their parents.
Acc to me every actor did a great job. Yoo inna ruled the show ..her every expression was on point , she practically lived the character! Yoon hyun min gave his all in second half of the show and really delivered beautiful acting and he is also the one to br most benefited by this drama (his inland image and internationalfan base both have improved). Inshort it was a great casting choice! Although i would have loved to see joo sang wook and his ex wife story more.
And bomi was way too lucky..she didn't deserve anything which she has got in life ...🙂 only
character i seriously hated throughout the series.

Overall i liked the series.

Terrible FL

Things I liked

1 I liked the plot. I thought it was a great idea for a rom com and that she was a love coach made me even more eager to watch it. Alas. I tried three times before giving up.

Things I disliked

1 The ML. I found his acting quite terrible, and his character never came alive. No chemistry with the FL, no humor, I'd say he was pathetic.

2 Too many couples and I didn't care for any of these.

3 The humor. It wasn't great, it was awful actually, more cringe than funny.

Things I hated

1 The FL. From what I gathered she has many fans and kudos to her. To me she was awful as an actress here and her character was terrible to say the least. I didn't want her to end with anyone because she doesn't deserve anyone. She was delusional, pathetic, unfunny, unattractive, and yet she had a high opinion for herself. Why???

Deborah segue fiel ao amor

Deborah segue fiel ao amor, mesmo após o fim sempre há um recomeço.
" O término é como um resfriado; vai passar logo" - é com essa leveza que descobrimos a empatia pós término e pré recomeço.
É refrescante ver o desenvolvimento da história, e principalmente da personagem que passa por um término difícil que transcende a vida pessoal da protagonista afetando também sua carreira de sucesso construída como "coach de relacionamentos" - daí a dualidade emocional da Bo-ra coach de relacionamentos com problemas no amor (e a coitada sofre).
É interessante a forma como o drama mostra as fases do término e o recomeço, mostra como as vezes pode ser tão difícil superar a dor e recomeçar novamente; os personagens são únicos e a partir disso temos cenas disertíssimas entre os casais cada qual com sua dinâmica amorosa, além é claro dos momentos que nos levam a refletir sobre como nos colocamos e colocamos o outro dentro de um relacionamento, sobre como seguir a vida após o fim de uma relação, sobre como recomeçar quando tudo parece errado ... Cada episodio é uma surpresa agradável, e o visual dos personagens é muito bem elaborado com diversos outifts mara. A ost não ficou muito na minha cabeça, não senti tanto foco nisso, além da forma como alguns personagens foram retratados na história para mim não foi tão satisfatória. Fora isso os eps fluiram muito bem (assim como o desenvolvimento dos casais), e foi uma delicia assistir ao drama, fora o fato de que o final deixa nosso coração quentinho - "Era nosso primeiro dia de inverno, tão quente quanto o verão".
