My Girlfriend Is a Real Man (2025)

resenha

Olha, esse dorama me surpreendeu bastante. Eu já esperava algo leve e divertido, mas "My Girlfriend is the Man" conseguiu me prender de um jeito que não imaginei. Dei nota 8,5 porque, apesar de ser uma história envolvente e criativa, ainda tem alguns pontos que poderiam ter sido melhores explorados.

A trama traz aquele mix perfeito de comédia, romance e momentos emocionantes que fazem a gente ficar torcendo pelos personagens. O desenvolvimento do casal principal foi, sem dúvida, o ponto forte: a química deles é muito boa e os diálogos rendem cenas divertidas e ao mesmo tempo tocantes. É aquele tipo de dorama que te arranca risadas, mas também te faz refletir.

Claro que existem detalhes que poderiam ter sido mais trabalhados, em certos momentos senti que algumas situações se resolveram rápido demais ou ficaram um pouco superficiais. Mas isso não atrapalha a experiência geral, porque a proposta da série é entregar leveza e entretenimento, e nisso ela acerta em cheio.

O elenco também merece destaque, porque conseguiu dar vida aos personagens de uma forma natural. A dinâmica entre eles faz a gente se apegar e querer acompanhar até o fim. A produção em si está muito boa: a fotografia é agradável, a trilha sonora combina perfeitamente com o clima da história e ajuda a criar aquela atmosfera romântica que os doramas sabem fazer tão bem.

He’s Her, but Not Really

The early episodes have a nice touch of magical realism that keeps viewers curious. It makes you want to keep watching just to understand why Kim Ji Eun turns into Kim Ji Hoon. Is there a specific pattern, a cycle, or maybe something related to their ancestors' background? And what about the matching tattoos between Kim Ji Eun and Kim Hye Ra? Are they supposed to mean something or affect the story in a bigger way?

Personally, I really dislike Park Yoon Jae’s inability to stand by Kim Ji Eun when she’s at her lowest point. It’s like, “Hey, she’s your girl, so why are you still looking at Kang Min Joo?” We can’t blame Kang Min Joo too much since she’s a key part of the conflict alongside Yoon Jae’s parents, but Yoon Jae gets so caught up in being a guy who sees another woman that he almost completely ignores Kim Ji Eun’s struggles and her attempts to escape her misery.

I don’t really mind the awkward bromance scenes. They mostly show up when the show tries to be funny. But they feel very different from the romantic moments between Park Yoon Jae and Kim Ji Eun, which are sweet and more emotionally grounded. I get that the drama tries to limit physical contact to avoid making Yoon Jae’s relationships with Ji Eun and Ji Hoon feel too far apart.

Still, what frustrated me the most was how Kim Ji Eun and Kim Ji Hoon never actually felt like the same person. The show kept pushing that idea and sure, I tried to buy it, but come on, nothing about Kim Ji Hoon screams Kim Ji Eun. Not their emotions, not their vibe, not even the tiniest habit, It's like he just pose and act in feminine gesture, that's all. And seriously, if Kim Ji Eun magically turns into a guy, am I really supposed to believe she’d suddenly be into women? Yeah, right. They could have at least thrown in some shared quirks like how they laugh or how they cry just something to remind us that, hey, it’s still the same person underneath all that confusion.

In the end, the show just pats us on the back with a happy ending, pretending all the confusing questions never existed. Brilliant storytelling, right?
