June Flowers

worst second leads love story in the HISTORY of k-drama. I still cannot believe how weird it was, like they were yelling and being rude to each other the whole time but the story made it seem like their love was so deep LMAOO

J-dramas like these make me realize how slim pickings it is for quality romcom J-dramas that can be both serious and funny. Like did people really enjoy this? someone recommended this drama and it is the most forgettable j-drama i have ever watched. I submitted a review if you want my honest thoughts, as someone who actually DOESN'T mind cliche romcoms and actually loves them. This was a snooze fest where the characters just bicker and the audience are apparently supposed to.... enjoy that? lmao.

i agree that some of the dramas shes been in have just been BAD. but problem is that people blame her for it being bad, when it has nothing to with her her at all. even when shes revealed to be casted in a drama, the comments on here are so rude to her. i personally only like two dramas from her, gangnam ID and graceful family, but i will check out the one you reccomended too! if you havent watched graceful family, you HAVE to watch that. not only is to a good drama all around, her acting gave me goosebumps.

Im Soohyang will forever trigger people on this site. What has she done to make everyone on here mad? the fact that she acted as a university student with Cha Eunwoo? Is it because she's born in 1991, and FLs need to be born not a year after 1994? Shes played all of her roles as they were written to a T, leave her alone. She's done absolutely nothing to no one but minded her own damn business. I use to have no opinion about her until I watched her in graceful family and her acting blew my mind. A good script goes a long way, shes a great actress and would not still be getting roles for over a decade if she wasn't. She does not have the popularity for anything to just be handed to her. My last thought is: Not every FL has to be a strong, independent, outspoken personality. Accept that other women exist

im soohyangs acting in graceful family gave me goosebumps, it's her best performance and proves how good of an actress she is. She has versatility unlike a lot of the "younger" female actors that are more popular than she is. I won't drop names but a lot of the popular actresses literally play the same role every time. She played her role in Gangnam ID so perfectly to the traits a girl with her experiences would have, and people just hated that she wasn't an outspoken loud character, as if someone with those experiences would ever be that way? It really just seems like ageism at this point to me (somehow 1991 is considered a grandma to people on here?), and people hate that her PS is on the more obvious side. People only want natural looking FLs who look and act the way they want them to. If you only like serious or quirky outspoken FLs then watch dramas about those characters (im not referring to you specifically, but to people on here in general always hate quieter FLs like its a crime to not be outspoken). she's also allowed to have bad dramas, woori the virgin was going to be a flop from the beginning, even the original show is awful.

Read my above response 😃

Nice assumption but my watch list is fully accessible 🤣 you could nicely let me know other good non cringey serious romance j dramas cause I’d love to watch more.

Coherence does not matter if the flow is so disruptive. Like how was the FL her young self when she was pregnant but then she’s the older her when her baby is a toddler? It’s way too disruptive to the story cause it takes you completely out of it. They could have done SO much better to make it work and let’s not pretend that isn’t the case. To each their own but I’ve watched far too many serious romance dramas in general that are stellar and this just does not cut it for me. It wasn’t bad, but no where near a almost 9/10 rating

I honestly don’t think this drama should be rated this high, and I feel like the only reason it is, is because we rarely get a serious/mature romance j drama. This was not really good though… it was all over the place. It could have been good but they added so much unnecessary stuff into it… was a very weird watch for me lmao

i skipped the scenes i couldnt handle. you kinda can see where thing are going before it happens, although you still get a glimpse of it since its impossible to not see, its bearable. This drama def is not one that makes light of anything, so it will be a depressive watch either way.

I really loved this drama for the episodes i watched. I had to stop at episode 8. Just seeing the title of this drama gives me anxiety, yeah its that serious. I want to give a warning to overly emotional people like me. It's not only the real sad history that made me extremely upset and depressed knowing how it'll most likely end, but the couple's chemistry is like nothing I've ever witnessed, and i honestly wish i never watched it. I will never forget them, or their love. Please watch at your own risk. I heard someone on here say they'd probably have to take anti-depressants if they watched this, and although that's an extra af thing to say, i can't believe that I understood where they were coming from.

i dont get why people always only blame the FL when the ML could have also made things clear a lot sooner and not dragged it out. Hes the one who made her confused from the very beginning idg why yall blaming only her, dw she was dumb too tho i agreee.

mte. ppl judging his acting in one drama that was so badly written, every single person in that drama looked like they couldnt act lbr. but ive seen their other works to know that its the drama and not the actors fault.

people who judge this woman based off of one single drama where she played a character that had low-self esteem and was finding herself... lmao. could never be me. i would at least watch 2/3 of an actors dramas before continuously complaining about them in the comments. Im soo hyang in graceful family gave me goosebumps. I could not believe that was the same person in gangnam ID. Her range is huge, yall judging her range based on one work is peak hilarity

Hyun soo ah? is that you?

1. yeah i totally agree with you, that it's also her fault. like she wanted an escape and lee joon provided her what her husband could not give her; comfort. she was able to cry in front of him, and complain to him about her life, and since he displayed himself as a strong, more straightforward person, she did would not feel burdened doing those things like she would with heetae.

2. honestly, i wish they had at least slept together lmao. Idk if it's just me loving the two together, or just because the way things blew up, you'd expect that they would have at least been dating/seeing each other for weeks. At the same time, since im rewatching it now, although they only kiss.. their relationship is so much more even without them sleeping together. Like let's say they didn't even kiss, just the fact that she can act so open with him, and went to his house whenever she was feeling lonely etc. is cheating in itself. so i can sort of see why it blew up so much now.

i mentioned before in my review for this drama that this drama was not made to cater to viewers, if it was they would have slept together. i mean the reason why "secret love affair" blew up was because they had a lot of things that catered to the viewer. a rich woman as his teacher, a poor innocent (and hot) man as her student. it was all very commercial imo, and tbh i dropped that drama at episode 13 cause i was just like "whats the point? i can barely feel an emotional attachment even though they are sleeping together". this drama had NONE of this and yet it was 100x more intense for me. the characters all connected with each other. it was more emotional and raw than most affair dramas because it was realistic. and this is also why people ended up skipping this show, the average viewer doesn't like shows this realistic.

not the op but i wanted to also add/ discuss why il ri cheated on him. what people dont realize is that it was lee joon who made the first move. ilri was just trying to be nice to someone who seemed to hate life and plus she basically felt bad for him. her actions really just seemed to stem from being a good person. Lee joon was the person who triggered the whole affair (not saying its only his fault though). another thing, the two barely do anything together. they kissed twice and thats basically it. this drama is not like a typical affair drama where the girl sleeps with the guy, or is even dating/seeing the guy for weeks until her husband finds out. lee joon and ilri were never even dating in the first place. It actually kind of makes me think "did this whole thing have to really blow up this big when they just kissed twice?" but then again im not married so i can't really say much.

On ilri's character, she was someone who married a guy about 15 years older than her and never experienced a normal kind of love and therefore she lets lee joon kiss her, just so she can get a taste for how it feels like. i think this is really the main reason why she had the urge to experience a love with another man in the first place

hope this makes sense lmao.

this movie is hilarious. great to watch when you're feeling down.
