I Love Choi Woo Shik OMG
This should be my comfort drama in 2025, The character development is very smooth All the cast were great and the cemisty was beyond words, I mean they very good together Choi woo shik and park bo young nailed it with Naturalistic story telling.And also the second couple lee jun young and sonee even they didn't have their happy ending. However maturity is realizing that two of them must be off their way, the music also has great match with the camera shoot, kind of warm and gentle combination, I find my self cries every episodes because of their love bound.

waste of time... I was expecting much more
I am really disappointed. I was so looking forward to this drama as Woo Shik is one of my favorite actors. It's so boring. I forced myself to finish it as I had no other option because I watched it on the flight.Also, the story is very realistic, but it seems absurd that he did not even text her about what was happening, and the lack of communication is frustrating. I hoped it would get better after a few more episodes, but no. Ten episodes never felt so long.
The brothers' story was very sad to watch, but that is it. I did not care about the main couple, and the chemistry was missing. To be honest, it was a wasted 10 hours.

feels like one long movie
you know the feeling movies give you? like there is this special feeling that it's gonna end soon and it actually does but here we have the feeling but not the ending fast part. I really loved it and it was really nice the storyline was really good but it sometimes got me boring but overall it's really nice I really loved his relationship with his brother I think that was my fav part and how there is actually some meanings behind it and depth I found it really really nice and it made me cry I always thought his brother is boring or weird for not having any interests or his own personality but finding out that he decided to make his brother his only goal made me cry and it was so emotional for me. my second fav thing was the main couple I loved them and I love how they were different but still went so good tgt they were so cute. my third fav things would be her relationship with her parents I was really annoyed about the father dayghter relationship I thought It was all so much and she was overreacting I mean I completely understand how she was feeling after all she was still a kid but I felt like the dad could've done better and wasn't absent sm and she could've understood him better and I loved how at the last episode she just realised that she has a mother and started acknowkging her and her love for her. now the second lead couple were my least favourite thing they actually annoyed me SO MUCH everytime they were on screen I was like UGH I love both actors so much but they were so incompatible she's such a baddie and he's lowkey a loser who is so insecure and his ego is big like how can u love ur self and hate ur self so much at the same time IM SO GLADDDD they didn't end up together OK thanks guys BTW THE MUSIV WAS SO GOOD THE OST ATEEEWas this review helpful to you?
Melo
The story wasn't about the main leads, their story was just a simple romance. What made this serie Intresting was the support actors, their story made the serie complete. I loved the second leads acting and there love struggle, the washed up director, the childhood friend.... Hell I wanted to know what the story behind the female singer..the brother 💔. Yes they made the serie a succes. The acting of the leads gave me "our beloved summer" flashbacks, and the character that Woo sik played was a copy of the male lead of that serie.Was this review helpful to you?
Very Heart Warming drama
Finally I find my kind of drama in 2025, very gentle, warm yet deep story. The storyline takes a part in relationships and uses the full spectrum new love, after love, familial love, grief and heartbreak. This show will take you on an emotional rollercoaster. For viewers who like cheerful, dynamic vibes, heart fluttering humor and romance, Melomovie is not your cup of tea, I think you will be really bored at the start. However for me this show got 10/10 cause the Naturalistic story telling and relatable romanceWas this review helpful to you?

Not like most K dramas!
Fun and intriguing! Not like most K dramas with the same plot over and over again. Acting is so good and the storyline is perfect, the humor makes this show complete! The directing is so good I’m so happy I found this show! There is more meaning and depth into the storytelling and I appreciate that! It’s not a show that’s easy to predict what will happen which most k dramas are and make them boring. Go watch it !Was this review helpful to you?
oh dear, the worst kdrama I have actually completed.
interestingly, 2 of my other worst dramas, that I dropped, each starred the same male lead as this one. those were killer paradox, and our beloved summer. of course this is subjective, but has he ever been in a production where he does not spend 50% of the time being morose/full of sadness? at least this drama had him do some comedy and laugh a bit. perhaps that's why I did finish it. My biggest problem was the thing I love about kdramas is that they focus purely on entertaining the viewer, and they do that by invoking emotion. I love this versus Western shows where they're all about demonstrating the director's vision, the writer's metaphors, and the actors range. to me, this drama seemed too, well, Western.Was this review helpful to you?
clever, witty, tender and full of LOVE!!!
"The light in the darkness. That's what movies were to me. Inside a simple, square shaped light, anything was possible. It made me feel as if I could do anything. But the world outside of movies...was always harsh and burdensome. There were no well crafted plots or heartwarming lines. Life was just lonely and desolate. That's when someone showed up. Kim Mubee."Melo Movie has a perfect setup, starts things off with a romance that quickly withers before blooming. It's a simple but stunning story about love: romantic, brotherly, platonic, the love that shapes us, the love we take for granted, the love we have to let go of. There's also grief, plenty of it, warmth, and compassionate understanding. The writing is both razor sharp and beautiful. It is also visually appealing: pastel and neon brightness matching its overall sunny tone.
The cast is superb as well, particularly Park Bo Young in a new kind of role. She sometimes felt burdened by her cheerful image. I can't wait to see her take on more challenging roles.

Slow and smokin'
There's a moment in the film where Mu Bi reflects on her father's film making career: his films were really boring and she wasn't quite sure with his story telling exactly what he wanted to say.I feel this summed up this drama quite well. I wasn't quite sure what it wanted to say and at times I lost interest and stopped watching it. It had enough going for it for me to see it through but by end of it all, I still wasn't sure what it was that I had just watched.
I guess it's roughly themed around second chances, those that work out, those that don't, and those that are taken from you. I'm guessing the overall theme was something like , life is a journey and each person must live it their own way. Actually, I think one of the characters says something like that and it becomes a poignant moment of realisation that we are not responsible for everything that happens to other people.
I love the actors, they all did a great job. The chemistry between the second leads feels sparky, the main leads, it feels a little flat, I wasn't convinced despite both being great actors.
My big pet peeve of this drama though has to be the product placement. There was a lot of vaping, a lot of smoking. I was really shocked, in my country you can't portray young people smoking to look cool - it's considered really inappropriate. Same with the drinking - there's a couple of times where the beer label is really obviously flicked to the camera so we can notice the brand.
I guess I'm a bit old fashioned in that I don't like the alcohol or smoking industry trying to subtly influence young people to drink or smoke.
Overall, it's a pleasant enough way to spend the evening and enjoy some well known faces. Go in with low expectations and you might find yourself enjoying some of the slower and sweeter moments as well as the overall relaxed vibe.

A must- watch
It's been a while since I felt sad after ending a drama, and this drama revived this feeling in me. It's a feel-good drama that can also evoke a bit of sadness. I experienced a rollercoaster of emotions while watching it. Honestly, I wasn't very intrigued by this drama at first. The first episode was decent, but I wasn't particularly impressed. I probably wouldn't have continued watching it if I hadn't decided to give it a chance because of the cast (Choi Woo Shik, Park Bo Young, and Lee Jun Young). I'm glad I did, as it turned out to be a masterpiece.The OST is fantastic, especially the song "Surfing in the Moonlight." It really hooked me; I just love it! The music composition is top-notch, and the lyrics are so cute. There’s no doubt about the quality of the vocals—they're the best.
Everyone involved in this drama worked hard, and their efforts paid off.

Sometimes it's not de show, but the time you are watching it
I started watching this next year when it premiered, and I was not in the mental headspace to watch it, so I dropped it.Something made me revisit this title exactly a year later and I couldn't stop watching.
This is so beautifully shot, you cannot move your eyes from your screen.
The acting, superb. I can see why Choi Woo-shik and Park Bo-Young are so succesful in their careers and why they chose this project, it gave them great material to work with.
This hits hard, especially for me the second couple and the brother's storyline broke my heart.
It is indeed a melodrama, but it feels so real and raw while being so beautiful. It was very sad, but also very healing.
