this show is perfect example that 16 eps is an old format, romcoms are better off with 12
That depends on the drama and the story though, for example Love Next Door defiantly shouldn't have been this long and it got draggy fast, they ran out of stuff quick and had to resort to a tedious, annoying and boring love triangle to fill the run-time, but that was completely unnecessary, they should have focused on the couple and tried to establish some tension and attraction between them in order to get the chemistry going but even though they had the time they chose to focus on other stuff and the couple's relationship felt quite abrupt and sudden.
I'm rewatching right now and I'm reminded again how much I hated the unnecessary love triangle in this one, this is what the fast-forward button was invented for, I skip all of the SML's scenes and the drama jumps for me from a solid 6/10 to a 8/10 immediately.
what did you want to be explained more?(genuinely curious) I actually thought that compared to a lot of other…
most of these were explained in the show, some outright and some in much more subtle ways, I'm not really in the mood to write a whole essay but if you search in the comments, me and others have answered a lot of these things.
While it was a mysterious and nice series, i wished they dived more into the "light shop" origins and how it works.…

For me this was one of those dramas you avoid bc you don't believe you'll enjoy them. However, these past couple…
Yeah the time frame is insane, I've got a shit memory and daily consume a lot of dramas, movies, games, fanfiction and more, so by the time season 2 airs you can be damn sure I won't even remember what the plot of this was.
Yeah, I skipped most of the second couple's scenes cuz they didn't really make sense to me.
for sure, the seriousness was lacking hard, the writer presented us with a lot of serious and mentally taxing issues like PTSD, shouldering too much responsibility, familial neglect, sensory overload, getting taken advantage of as a woman, loss of family and probably more cuz these are the only ones I remember now. Having all of these in a single rom-com and one that's only 12 episodes is quite hard, but to downplay all of these and portray them in such a cheap way really irked me, it needed a lot more seriousness and a lot less village buffoonery, and to be honest as someone who deal with some of these issues on a daily basis, it was quite insulting.
how is this one? as a long time fan of PBY, I usually watch all of her stuff, but the "melo" in the title really scares me😱 is it sad? or is it light? I've been in a depressed mood lately, so can't really stomach sad and melodrama at the moment. happy ending?
I don't know why I've only been stumbling upon the worst dramas this year. This was one of the worst Kdramas I've…
this was me a couple of weeks ago. the synopsis, the genres and tags and even the poster is so misleading, you think you're gonna get a lighthearted funny rom-com, but what you end up getting is like a Frankenstein mismatch of so many different genres that it gives you whiplash, at times it seems like the writer forgot that they were writing a romance.
Yep, this would have been 100 times better, it would have actually worked with ml's superpower, and he could have…
Yeah, the writer came up with a set of good characters with both ML and FL but when it came to actually writing for them, he majorly failed and reverted back to the same tropes and writing that is common in other rom-coms like Business proposal or king the land, the issue is that it works for those characters but not here with FL and ML in Brewing love, it actually works against them and takes away from their characters, like how FL's struggles were just a side note and pushed aside or ML's powers go completely underutilized and become nothing more than a cliff note.
not sad but not very happy either, more of a mid ending.
I didn't say it wasn't happy, learn to read between the lines, I said: "it wasn't "very" happy", which means that it was happy but not overly satisfying.
the first 3 eps were slow, so many questions and happenings between the characters and then it'll slowly unfold…
Yeah! it was so confusing at the beginning, as someone who hadn't read the synopsis and had no idea about anything, it was quite a fun ride seeing everything unfold.
The romance is between two of the couples and it's very sad but also very touching and heartwarming, I was crying so hard😭😭😭
So if you're not looking for something very heavy right now, I suggest watching it later, maybe after a tooth-rottingly sweet rom-com like LMLMV.
happy ending?
