Our Sticky Love

I Didn’t Expect to Cry This Much Over an “Okay” Drama

This drama was okay overall, but somehow, it managed to move me more than I expected. There were so many emotional moments that, honestly, I think I shed enough tears to fill a river. 😂😭

What I really liked was their small community. I loved how the people around Eun-sae and Tae-ha gradually became like one big family. Their warmth, concern, and willingness to stand by one another made the story feel comforting, especially during the heavier moments.

I also found Tae-ha’s father’s story quite heartbreaking. What happened between him, Tae-ha, and the people connected to his past felt like such a cruel twist of fate. But what moved me most was seeing him eventually accept his defeat in life. After everything he had done and everything he had lost, there was something sad and strangely human about finally seeing him let go.

The drama wasn't perfect, and there were moments when I felt the story could have been better, but it still managed to leave an emotional impact on me. And for me, that's worth something.

Well, I really liked it...

For me, this was a proper Rom-Com. Is it a masterpiece? Absolutely not! Is it a series that will make you smile? Most definitely! This series was fun and a visual treat.

Why Our Sticky Love worked for me:
- The Supporting Cast: The S.E.S. ladies (Jang Hye-jin, Cha Cheong-hwa, and Kim Mi-hwa), halmeoni (Kim Young-ok), and coach Hong and his wife (Jeon Bae-soo and Seo Jung-yeon) were all amazing.

- The Cameos: I love a good cameo, and I knew there were going to be some, so I did not look at the cast list before watching the series. Oh, what lovely surprises they were.

- The Scenography: The set design with a carefully chosen color palette was stunning: the turquoise payphone, the colorful table umbrellas and chairs, the brightly colored altar, the tablecloths, the flowers, etc. The wardrobe choices for the ajummas, halmeoni, and all other characters complemented the set palette perfectly. The details in Jang Tae-ha's house gave it that safe and loving feeling that Go Eun-sae needed. The presentation of the food made the dishes very appetizing, but they were also in harmony with the colors in the background.

- The Cinematography: I was mesmerized by the use of beautiful light orbs and auras throughout all 12 episodes. The sunsets and sunrises evoked deep emotions. The oceans and fields were rich in color and serenity.

- The Conclusion: This series is a true Rom-Com, so I cannot spoil it by saying that it had the happiest of endings. It was well developed and full of the romantic and sweet fluff that I love in a proper Rom-Com.

If only the focus was on him

This drama is like someone trying to fulfill their fantasy of a prosecutor x gangster romance but is written in a very amateur level.

If only the story was focused on the father and son, this drama would've been epic. It would've had a more cohesive and justifiable cast. It would have depth that this drama lacked. Complex relationship that really shows how twisted it had become by their cruel fate. How can they missed that gold mine and released this instead???

Sidenote: They could've referred to this ancient classic tragedy about a father and son, Sohrab and Rustum. The legendary Persian hero Rustum leaves his wife before their child is born and is falsely told the baby is a girl. Years later, his son Sohrab grows into a mighty warrior and leads an opposing army to find his famous father. The two meet in single combat without knowing each other's identity, resulting in Rustum mortally wounding Sohrab and discovering the tragic truth only as his son lies dying.

? She Lost Her Memory… But Found a Boyfriend!

I did enjoyed My Sticky Love. The acting was good, and I thought the storyline was interesting enough. That said, it did feel like a story we’ve seen before, just with different people and a different storyline around it. It was entertaining, but it didn’t quite have enough originality for me to rate it higher.

I did like the two leads, but I have to admit that I didn’t always feel much chemistry between them. The FL was really trying, especially with her memory loss and her belief that the ML was her boyfriend, but the ML could be quite cold at times. I found myself wanting him to give her a little more back! 😂 Their relationship had some sweet moments, but for me, the chemistry wasn’t consistently there.

The FL losing her memory and genuinely believing that the ML was her boyfriend created plenty of funny, sweet and complicated situations. It was interesting watching the ML deal with her version of their relationship while everything slowly unfolded.

One of my favourite parts was definitely the SES Club. I loved the three women and their friendship, and I really enjoyed having their own stories running alongside the main romance. They brought a lot of personality to the drama.

And of course, Grandma! ❤️ I absolutely loved her. She was like a proper granny — full of personality, opinions and always involved in what was going on. She was one of those supporting characters who made the drama more enjoyable whenever she appeared.

I also liked that most of the side characters had their own storylines rather than simply being there in the background. It made the drama feel more complete and gave us plenty of different characters to follow.

And then we had the baddie… who turned out to be his dad! 😮 To be fair I did think that it might be the case from very early onwards.

Overall, My Sticky Love was an enjoyable enough, some lovely characters and plenty going on. The SES Club and Grandma were definite highlights for me, and I liked the leads individually, even if I didn’t always feel their chemistry as a couple.

Well put together, filling every aspect, the happiest cast of drama ive ever seen

First i must mention the Female Lead, her smile man.., damn especially the earliest episode was so pure and bright, i literally would fight the world to protect that damn smile. And dthe director really know how to maximize it.

A Romcom with a main plot a little bit dark usualy feels cranky and weirdly put, but this is wo well put that it can separate the genre so well that we can greatly enjoying both of the world.

This is the first drama that ive got to like everyone character, even the cameo, its just a fun and delightful experience seeing them interact, it feels so honest that i thought they werent acting, just like seeing our happy neighbor interact with each other.

Just job welldone i have no complain, really really enjoyable experience.

Thank you really, for all the drama cast and staff, for brighten one of my days.

"Where every emotion feels real and every moment matters."

Our Sticky Love is a complete entertainment package that perfectly blends romance, action, and heartfelt storytelling.

The chemistry between the "Jung Hae In" and "Ha Young" is exceptional, and both deliver natural, emotionally convincing performances that make every scene memorable.

The supporting cast also shines, while the main villain Heo Sung Tae brings a strong and compelling presence that adds intensity to the story.

The action sequences are exciting, and the narrative maintains a great balance between emotion, humor, and suspense.

Episode 11 features an incredible twist that takes the story to another level without losing its emotional core. With engaging storytelling, excellent performances, and a thoroughly satisfying conclusion.

this is a drama I absolutely loved and highly Recommend

I Have Many Issues Yet I am Enjoying This

Dare I say… I am actually ENJOYING this!!! The first episode is insanely hilarious.

Even though the story is pretty basic, and at times soo illogical that I genuinely ask myself, Who wrote this??? Also, I am tired of kdramas centred around amnesia YET here I am still watching so clearly something is working.

First of all, let’s talk about that Lead couple’s first encounter in Japan. WHY would the female lead tell this man SO much personal information about herself when she didn’t even remember who he was?! She basically gave him her entire biography and then casually dropped the fact that she has moles on her butt. GIRL??? This was so unrealistic. Also I didn’t feel any depth from their interaction in Japan.

Secondly, the female lead MOGGED Jung Hae-in completely in terms of presence and aura. Her presence is SO strong that Jung Hae-in is practically invisible next to her. She completely outshines him.

And speaking of Jung Hae-in… he is just not doing it for me in this drama. He looks dull and completely auraless. It’s just that same blank face in almost every scene. Plus he doesn’t look like a gangster at all. I have seen him in badass roles soo I don’t know what went wrong here.

It’s honestly such a weird experience because I’m enjoying the drama despite all its nonsense, but the one person I expected to carry it for me is currently giving me absolutely NOTHING. But I will keep watching for the Female lead bcz I am loving her.

feminist female lead is a tired trope

I'm 5 episodes in and it shows all the signs of getting serious & danger is looming on the horizon for the leads. I want to like this. The male lead is nice & I don't care at all about the female lead's real life "scandal" ( whatever her great grandfather & grand father did is totally irrelevant to who & what she is )
BUT
I don't like the lead female's character in this drama. It's a cookie cutter same old, same old of they type of female lead that is supposed to be appealing to the modern woman , but I find her completely unlikeable.
I'm on the fence whether or not to continue- so while I decide here are my thoughts on the drama up to this point:

**************Spoilers:


2 things I don't like:
1) it would have been better if the gang had used the grandma as leverage to force the male lead into the gang-or if he had been, like 14 & so easily forgiven for making an unwise decision. as it is, he knew she wouldn't approve & would rather die than have him become a thug. (also: 14 years !!!! oh noooo, he's been a killer that long !? 5 years tops would be the cut off for making him even slightly a smypathetic character.

Female lead : WAS, emphasis on past tense a nice person, but it's not the amnesia that's making her rude /bad attitude. SO he's in love with what she WAS not who she is, though bits of niceness peek through, she is still unlikeable.

That she orders him around: no touching or having other women touch him is ok, but the other bossing him around part- nope, now he's a child /an object to her, while he treats her like an adult she patronizes him
