Brewing Love? More like Snoozing Lager—romance so flat it needs CPR and a shot of espresso.
6.5/10: A Frothy Mess That Goes Flat Fast
🍺 THE GOOD:
- **Kim Se-jeong as Chae Yong-ju** – Former special forces turned beer sales queen. Yes, she can kill a man and pitch a lager in one scene. Iconic, but wasted here.
- **Lee Jong-won as the sensitive brewmaster** – Looks like he cries to jazz and brews IPA with feelings. Sweet, but this ain’t *La La Land*.
- **Pretty scenery** – Countryside shots so nice, you’ll forget you’re watching a drama about *beer marketing*.
⚠️ THE "ALMOST, BUT..." MOMENTS:
- **Slower than foam settling on a flat beer** – The “slow burn” romance is more “no spark, just yeast.”
- **Subplots go missing like drunk texts** – Characters vanish, conflicts die, nothing really sticks.
- **Too much biz, not enough buzz** – It's more corporate training video than rom-com. I didn’t sign up for a business degree in Beer-onomics.
đź’” STANDOUT SCENES:
- When Se-jeong’s character tries to emote and you’re like “girl, save yourself from this script.”
- Every time Min-ju stares into the distance like he knows he should’ve taken another role.
🎯 VERDICT:
Feels like they brewed this romance with expired hops—bland, confusing, and mildly depressing.
Watch if you're folding laundry. Skip if you value your sanity.
Best paired with:A real drink, a low attention span, and something else to do while it plays. 🫠🍺
