I Love You Since 1892 (2025)

it's fine but it could be improved a LOT

Great story from the novel, okay acting, and repetitive music.

I remember feeling butterflies in my stomach so often while reading the novel so many years ago, but I never felt anything similar while watching. It was not because of the acting. It was most probably because of the lack of chemistry and the editing. Following this latter topic, I believe the production company could train and invest more in the post-production and editors because it is a true waste of potential. They were not able to deliver the same way the novel did.

The story has many emotional scenes, yet all of them felt fleeting. The series did not succeed it making me feel any pain before they suddenly switch to a scene with emotions totally different from the dramatic segment.

This show also lacks a variety of music, instead repeating the same song again and again. I believe there should be background music when the scene so requires.

This is a drama series. But it was not edited like one. Just for comparison, the post-production result felt like a short story with only twenty minutes that was not given as much effort as it should with a full length series. I believe the Spanish lines could've been delivered more powerfully if they got speech coaches (or at least checked the pronunciations before shooting...).

This is based on a novel that everyone waited to have an adaptation of. People have already been disappointed for not having the actors they initially wanted. They refused to watch this because they believed it would turn out bad and/or won't have a good result. Still, I decided to give it a chance. Let me decide after watching everything, right? Well... I feel like Viva did not even try to satisfy the readers. Not sure if people who have not read the novel would like this, though.

Edit: Just finished ep 17 and lmao I want to know if non-novel readers understood what was happening because holy Usain Bolt, they want to rush the ending so bad, my score went from 6.5 to 5.5 real quick.

Edit 2: That last ep... lol I badly want to know the opinions of non-novel readers because I'm almost 100% sure they got confused big time all throughout the last two episodes.

I give GSOT a 10 though ?

Still not improving , the main actress continues to overact. I really tried to give her the benefit of the doubt, but her performance just feels forced and unnatural. On the other hand, Natasha and Helen truly gave justice to their roles. Their acting was precise, graceful, and very demure , exactly what the characters needed.
I honestly don’t understand why H and J was chosen for this role. FL doesn’t seem to fit the character at all, and it shows in every scene. I’m not sure if it’s a lack of experience or just a mismatch in casting, but her portrayal doesn’t connect with the audience. It feels like she’s trying too hard instead of letting the emotions flow naturally.
It feels like the production is trying too hard to make her fit when it’s clear that the role doesn’t suit her personality or acting style. Maybe she has potential in other types of characters, but for this one, she just doesn’t deliver. Her portrayal lacks sincerity and connection, which makes the scenes fall flat.
I’m not saying this to hate on her, but to be honest, if the goal is to make the audience feel moved or emotionally drawn in, her performance just doesn’t achieve that. Sometimes casting the right person matters more than just giving someone exposure. I really hope the team reconsiders how they direct her or maybe guides her to improve, because right now, she’s the weakest link in an otherwise well-cast show.
