É UMA BOA SÉRIE, MAS A DISCREPÂNCIA DE CUIDADO E AFETO NO RELACIONAMENTO ME INCOMODOU
Essa é uma série mais dramática e emocional do eu esperava (mas isso não é um defeito, foi uma grata surpresa). Senti que um bom trabalho foi feito na maior parte do tempo, mas a desigualdade de amor, atenção e cuidado entre os protagonistas me deixou decepcionada e pensativa.PONTOS POSITIVOS (o que eu gostei):
- O comecinho (primeiros minutos) tem uma vibe mais sombria e define o tom da série. Depois disso temos vários momentos bonitinhos e divertidos, mas a melancolia está sempre ali e com o passar dos episódios ela se expande cada vez mais;
- A amnésia do Ki Ha Neul é um fator importante para a história e é ela que mantém o enredo funcionando;
- Uma coisa boba, mas que foi muito importante para mim é o detalhe de caracterização dos olhos vermelhos quando o Ki Ha Neul está no hospital. São esses detalhes que enriquecem a obra;
- A química entre os protagonistas foi uma grata surpresa. Por esse ser um projeto coreano eu não estava esperando nada dos momentos de intimidade, mas eles me surpreenderam muito. A Coreia tem que seguir por esse caminho pois é o caminho certo.
PONTOS NEGATIVOS (o que eu não gostei):
- O título e sinopse prometem uma coisa e quando chega a hora vemos que não é bem assim. Os garotos nunca foram inimigos, eles apenas tinham uma amizade conturbada;
- Eu super entendo que a perda de memória é complexa e leva a muita confusão mental no paciente, mas a forma com que o Yeo Sae Byeok era tratado foi muito desproporcional. Ele era sempre bom (bom até demais de um jeito grudento) e era tratado de volta com grosseria;
- Mesclando o tópico acima temos uma relação zero igualitária entre os protagonistas. Não gosto de como um é sempre devoto e o outro apenas recebe e reage como bem entende (isso sempre acontece independente das consequências da amnesia). É uma dinâmica que me incomoda bastante. Os dois estavam sofrendo e os dois precisavam de cuidado;
- Ki Ha Neul falou uma vez como não era certo deixar o Yeo Sae Byeok carregar tudo sozinho, mas foi isso que ele fez todas as vezes, mesmo sem intenção;
- No final não termos tido uma conversa crua e honesta entre eles no hospital depois de meses de afastamento foi bem desapontador.
Essa é uma história rica em detalhes na hora de construir o universo e acontecimentos, mas peca em detalhar e destrinchar o sentimento internalizado nos personagens.
Eu queria entender qual o conflito do Yeo Sae Byeok com a mãe. Eu queria uma resolução e reação do Ki Ha Neul aos sentimentos do Yun Jeong Han (antes de tudo explodir). Eu queria ter visto conversas honestas entre os protagonistas dissecando sua relação para nos fazer ver o quanto eles se amavam mutuamente. Eu queria ter visto mais parceria e cuidado igualitário com os sentimentos um do outro.
A frase que a mãe do Ki Ha Neul diz para o Yeo Sae Byeok durante uma conversa é o que define esse drama: "Meu filho vem em primeiro lugar". Yeo Sae Byeok perdeu o pai, não tem uma relação com a mãe, aparentemente não tem irmãos e não possui uma rede de apoio de amigos. É ele por ele. Quando ele tem o Ki Ha Neul ele tem um parceiro e alguém em quem se apoiar, mas quando não ele fica sozinho tendo que carregar o peso do mundo. É desumano.

De bonnes idées, mais l’histoire en loupe la moitié…
Parfois, les titres ne sont pas représentatifs de l'œuvre, c'est le cas ici. Ils ne sont pas ennemis, seulement amis et l'un d'eux a un caractère particulièrement pénible. Ceci de côté, c'est un drama sympathique, mais fragile avec son lot de défauts.Leur dynamique n'est pas ma préférée, en particulier sur les premiers épisodes. Ha Neul est typiquement le genre de personnage qui m'insupporte : méchant, ingrat et qui agit comme bon lui semble parce qu'après tout, c'est lui le patient amnésique. De l'autre côté, Sae Byeok est un paillasson qui supporte le caractère naze de Ha Neul avec le sourire, qui ne va surtout pas le contrarier. Fort heureusement, ils finissent par évoluer (bien que cela arrive un peu tard). Ha Neul fait preuve de maturité au fil de l'histoire, tandis que Sae Byeok montre enfin ses faiblesses.
L'attraction entre les deux acteurs est superbe. Les interactions de couple sont mignonnes. Il me semble que c'est le KBL avec le plus de baisers. Loin de m'en plaindre, ils sont franchement excellents (et les scènes intimes aussi).
L’idée d’une telle antagoniste est intéressante, mais elle aurait dû apparaître plus tôt. La folie est un solide moteur pour alimenter la tourmente des personnages. De même pour son partenaire de crime. On se doute qu'il est louche, mais l'histoire préfère nous garder dans le flou. Enfin, la prise de conscience lorsqu'un incident survient n'a rien d'une nouveauté, c'est dommage.
La narration est assez brouillonne. Par moment, c'est difficile de savoir s'il s'agit d'un rêve, d'un souvenir ou du présent. Certaines scènes me laissent un peu sur le bas-côté, car je ne sais même pas si elles se sont déroulées ou non. Le montage est étrange avec des flash-back hasardeux.
En revanche, la photographie est superbe, tout comme la musique. De plus, c'était agréable d'avoir ce rythme de diffusion (deux épisodes par semaine). Peut-être que j’aurais plaisir à le voir dans quelques semaines.
En bref, Never Forget Your Enemy possède des qualités et de bonnes idées, mais elles ne sont pas exploitées, ou pas assez, ce qui rend l'histoire confuse avec en plus un montage décevant et un final trop facile.

Não era uma obsessão até eu conhecer o Byeok!
Primeiramente, eu queria dizer que esse BL me deu uma nova obsessão asiática. Eu estou definitivamente cadelando pelo ator que fez o Byeok. E antes que me julguem por ele ser o puro padrão de beleza coreano, eu tenho uma explicação, tá? 😂É que o tamanho da boca desse querido, combinado com o formato dos lábios dele, me fez imaginar tantas coisas que eu fiquei completamente delulu das ideias. Pronto, falei. Podem me julgar.
Dito isso, o BL em si também é muito bom.
No começo, ele parece um pouco confuso e demora um tempinho para encontrar o próprio ritmo, mas conforme os episódios avançam, tudo vai se encaixando melhor. E o plot... ah, o plot.
BEEEM BOM!
Foi uma daquelas histórias que conseguiram me surpreender de verdade. Pra mim, o único problema é que eu queria mais episódios. Mais tempo para desenvolver algumas situações, mais espaço para alguns personagens, e para a história explorar melhor algumas ideias que ficaram pelo caminho.
Ainda assim, terminei com aquela sensação de que assistiria facilmente mais algumas horas só para continuar acompanhando um pouquiiiinho mais.
E, sejamos honestos, qualquer BL que consegue me deixar apaixonado pelo protagonista e querendo mais episódios já fez muita coisa certa né?

Surpreendentemente bem desenvolvido e com atuações muito boas, principalmente para novos atores.
Este drama possui uma das mais bonitas produções, cenários e cenografias que assisti nos últimos meses, rico em detalhes, simbologia e tons que combinam com cada passo da história.Os atores me surpreenderam positivamente, a primeira atuação como protagonista foi muito bem executada, Hwang Jun Su e Lee Ja Woon conseguiram expressar seus desejos, dores, emoções e angústias em um nível muito elevado.
Para um drama BL coreano, mesmo que produzido pela Tailândia, arriscaram e conseguiram transmitir nas cenas mais íntimas toda a melancolia daquela lembrança, principalmente na cena do carro no episódio 5, pois havia emoções que vi serem expressadas mais realista do que na cena do episódio 2, no sofá, enquanto no episódio final o sentimento era muito mais de cumplicidade e entrega, apesar de todas as dores vivenciadas. Espero vê-los em novas produções BLs, pois muitos abandonam rapidamente esse nicho.
O drama foi além de um clichê de amnésia ou "enemies to lovers", o roteiro foi muito bem desenvolvimento e a história nos prendia para ver onde poderia chegar. Os personagens secundários, sejam os próximos ou os antagonistas, foram bem apresentados. A revelação foi boa, eu não esperava por isso, pensei que poderia mais ser uma questão de amor unilateral, mas nem pelo Ha Neul e sim pelo Sae Byeok.

An incredible story
Never Forget Your Enemy was a drama I had been looking forward to ever since it started airing. I have always been a huge fan of stories centered around amnesia, and from the few clips I had come across over the weeks, the overall atmosphere immediately appealed to me. So I was eagerly waiting for it to finish airing so I could binge-watch it in one go.And I have to admit that my instincts did not fail me once again, because this series has a remarkable psychological depth. One of the things I appreciated most was the decision to tell the story primarily through Gi Haneul’s perspective at first. Since he has lost his memory, we are thrown into the same confusion as him. We only have access to his childhood memories and those from before his first accident. Everything else, his adult life, his relationship with Yeo Saebyeok, and the seven years that followed, remains hidden from us. We gradually uncover the truth alongside him as his memories begin resurfacing. It constantly encourages us to form theories and piece together what really happened, how he ended up in this situation, and above all, what caused his second accident. The series does an excellent job of maintaining this mystery until its final reveal.
I also appreciated how believable the writers made his mental state. Gi Haneul does not behave like a man approaching thirty. Instead, he behaves like the young man he was when his memory stopped. He often reacts with naivety, immaturity, or excessive emotion, which feels completely logical. In his mind, he has only just recovered from his first accident. Suddenly, he discovers that he has lost nearly ten years of his life, that he can no longer pursue his dream of becoming a professional tennis player, and that he is now sharing a room with a man who claims to have been his partner for the last seven years. These are enormous changes to process in only a few days. Meanwhile, Yeo Saebyeok is facing the exact opposite situation. For him, all of these events belong to the past. He has already lived through the arguments, reconciliations, and hardships of their relationship. Yet he is suddenly dragged back to the beginning and forced to face once again the anger, distrust, and sometimes even hatred of the man he loves.
That is precisely what touched me so deeply about this story. The series does not only explore the suffering of the person who has lost their memories. It also explores the suffering of the one left behind. Watching your partner forget your story, your memories, and the years you spent together is just as heartbreaking. Yeo Saebyeok was actually one of my favorite characters. Throughout his life, he consistently put their relationship before himself. He even gave up a once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity in order to stay by Gi Haneul’s side. Since childhood, he has always supported him quietly through countless small gestures. He respects his space, gives him time to find his bearings again, and continues taking care of him despite the pain it causes. Even when giving him that space is emotionally destroying him to the point that he begins neglecting himself, he still does it because loving Gi Haneul is the most important thing in his life.
Gi Haneul, on the other hand, takes much longer to understand everything happening around him. But by observing Yeo Saebyeok, he slowly begins to notice things that had escaped him in the past. He reflects on their childhood and realizes that some behaviors he once interpreted as cruelty had very different motivations. When Yeo Saebyeok stole his girlfriends, it was never out of malice. It was because he was jealous and already in love with him. Little by little, Gi Haneul comes to understand that this love had always existed and that it had always been mutual. He even regrets not realizing it sooner. And when he sees everything Yeo Saebyeok continues to do for him despite the amnesia, he gradually falls in love with him all over again.
I also loved that the story did not revolve around amnesia alone. Behind the memory loss lies a much darker plot involving obsessive stalking. We gradually discover that a woman suffering from erotomania has been obsessively pursuing Yeo Saebyeok for over seven years. She harassed him, attempted to harm Gi Haneul, and ultimately destroyed part of their lives. Her obsession becomes so extreme that she continues manipulating events even from prison, going as far as using her own brother to carry out her wishes. It is this storyline that eventually leads to Gi Haneul’s second accident and subsequent amnesia. I found it particularly interesting that the series chose to reveal part of this story through the stalker’s perspective. It is an unusual narrative choice, but it allows us to better understand the full extent of the damage she caused and offers another perspective on the evolution of their relationship.
That being said, I do have one small reservation regarding the emotional side of the story. To be clear, this is not a drama that lacks emotion. Quite the opposite. It deals with incredibly painful situations. However, I sometimes felt that it moved a little too quickly through certain key moments. I would have liked to see more reactions, more tears, and more time devoted to the various emotional shocks the characters experience. The series does a fantastic job portraying the different stages of amnesia: denial, confusion, shock, gradual acceptance, and even the idea that the body remembers before the mind does. But I also would have liked it to spend more time exploring Yeo Saebyeok’s pain and what he goes through emotionally. That is probably my only real frustration. In a way, I feel this drama is almost a victim of its own quality. The development is excellent, but it would have benefited greatly from a few additional episodes to explore its themes even further.
Overall, Never Forget Your Enemy was a genuine hidden gem for me. Between its story, its psychological depth, its lovable characters, and the wide range of emotions it conveys, whether sadness, anger, or even the occasional funny and heartwarming childhood memory, I enjoyed every minute of it. I loved experiencing this story through the eyes of a man who has forgotten everything and must relearn how to understand the people around him. Even though their relationship is already established when the series begins, I still felt as though I was witnessing their first love all over again. And thanks to the actors’ wonderful performances, a single glance is enough to communicate the love they feel for each other. In the end, I only have one thing left to say: it was a beautiful story. A little too short for my taste, but beautiful nonetheless.

Never Forget Your Enemy (네 원수를 잊지 마라) 8.5/10
สำหรับเรื่อง Never Forget Your Enemy เป็นซีรีส์เกาหลีอีกเรื่องหนึ่งที่ผมรู้สึกชื่นชอบ ด้วยเนื้อเรื่องที่เต็มไปด้วยปมปัญหาและความขัดแย้งหลากหลาย ทำให้แต่ละตอนมีความลุ้น ระทึก และน่าติดตามอยู่ตลอดเวลาแม้จะมีเพียง 8 ตอน แต่ถือว่าเป็น 8 ตอนที่มีความเข้มข้นอย่างมาก การดำเนินเรื่องกระชับและสามารถดึงความสนใจของผู้ชมได้ตั้งแต่ต้นจนจบ
ในด้านการแสดง นักแสดงทุกคนถ่ายทอดบทบาทออกมาได้อย่างดี ทั้งสายตา ท่าทาง และอารมณ์ความรู้สึก ทำให้ผู้ชมสามารถเข้าถึงตัวละครและอินไปกับสถานการณ์ต่าง ๆ ได้อย่างเป็นธรรมชาติ
ส่วนโปรดักชันโดยรวมถือว่าทำออกมาได้ดี ภาพสวย มุมกล้องและการจัดแสงมีความลงตัว ช่วยเสริมบรรยากาศของเรื่องได้อย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ โดยเฉพาะฉากช่วงท้ายที่ใช้แสงของพระอาทิตย์ตก ถ่ายทอดออกมาได้อย่างสวยงามและน่าประทับใจ
อีกหนึ่งองค์ประกอบที่โดดเด่นคือการนำเสนอฉากความสัมพันธ์ของตัวละครที่มีความประณีตทั้งในด้านภาพและอารมณ์ ทำให้ฉากเหล่านี้ดูมีมิติและสอดคล้องกับเนื้อเรื่อง
นอกจากนี้ เพลงประกอบอย่าง “Down into the Sky” ก็ไพเราะและช่วยเสริมอารมณ์ของเรื่องได้อย่างดี
โดยรวมแล้ว Never Forget Your Enemy เป็นซีรีส์ที่เข้มข้นและน่าติดตามอีกเรื่องหนึ่งที่ผมอยากแนะนำ สามารถรับชมได้ทาง WeTV ครับ

Bem tanto faz?
A história, no geral, trabalha com esse plot de perda de memória e “inimigos” que, na prática, nem chegam a ser inimigos de verdade. Não consegui comprar muito bem o que a narrativa tentou vender.O twist da menina obcecada e o motivo do menino ter perdido a memória foram ok.
No geral, a narrativa não me pegou mesmo. Não consegui me importar com os personagens e consequentemente com a relação deles.
Inclusive, acho que isso impacta até na forma como eu falo da obra, não consigo fazer uma resenha mais aprofundada justamente porque não me conectei o suficiente com a história, nem ao ponto de conseguir explicar em detalhes tudo o que não gostei.
Por outro lado, admito que a Coreia está ficando bem ousada nas cenas mais picantes.
Gostei muito não
