I love the way this story was told. I went through so many emotions. The editing was gripping, the characters were layered and interesting, the cinematography was stunning, the soundtrack was gold, and everybody played their part well. I love a good plot twist, it was fantastic. What's there not to love about this show. Highly recommended!
I don't understand the low ratings for this drama. This is actually one of those rare South Korean dramas that is actually a masterpiece unlike pretty much everything South Korea makes these days. Well-written, acted and directed all around. They don't make them like this anymore, sadly.
I enjoyed how corny and cringey it was LOL. It's the stuff teens write and love to read on Wattpad. You'll know by the first episode whether it was for you or not. Going by all the negative comments, I expected worse but it's pretty watchable.
Once in a while, I don't mind these kind of dramas if they are decently made (which this was) especially since majority of Japanese dramas on primetime television tend to be on the darker / more serious side. I always appreciate how Japan makes a spectrum of content - all the way from absolutely dark to complete bizzare / wacky and hilarious stuff.
What a feel-good and adorable little dorama! Fluff with meaningful convos - just what I needed after a long, stressful day. The only complaint is that this was too short; i wanted more of the side characters and the leads. This was time well spent :) Highly recommended for those looking for something short and sweet!
Had great expectations coming in to this, but it was an average drama at best. Many of the legal cases were not fully explored and a little too simplistic. The FL was endearing and I rooted for her. That’s probably the best part of the drama. The romantic ML was under utilised and so were most of the supporting cast. Special mention for the whale CGI which was stunning.
If you’re looking for a fantastic legal drama, I’d recommend Devil’s Attorney instead. And if you’re looking a fantastic portrayal of autism, I’d recommend Boku No Aruku Michi instead.
WTF was that ending?! I want to recommend this but that ending was so damn melodramatic and idiotic that it took away everything this drama kinda established organically. URGHHHHHHHHH it definitely ruined the drama a little for me.
OK the rest of the drama aside - The synopsis makes this sound like some kind of superficial drama where a woman ping pongs between two men, but this was surprisingly more than that. I am not a fan of love triangles but I could really feel the way the FL's heart shifted from one brother to the next. It was pretty organic and not like those convoluted love triangles these days. I'm gonna say this for the nth time but they just don't make these kind of mature romances anymore, especially they don't show passion this way anymore.
Do I recommend this? Only if you're a fan of either of the leads.
I love your list! Can you recommend some more romances please?
Go check out my 90s dramas / movies list! Majority of the titles on the list are romances.
