got best opening sentence of drama I ever seen

Le Coup de Foudre -8/10 cdrama

ok its very very good drama nice romance and all surely worthy at least 8,5-9/10, BUT I personaly just couldnt cope with time skip and time-rewind style this drama had in first half of drama.
If I didnt had :rule: to always complete watching whole drama I would drop it in first few eps.

At other hand second half of drama was amazing. Chemistry of main pair was good and FL was quite crazy enough. Meanwhile rational, cold faced male lead loved FL enough to play crazy with her too and doted on her.

cute, age gap, sport, college romance drama between athlete and his trainer.

like Bae Suzy? its worth watch at least its short

Anna (2022) - 8/10 -kdrama

quite average drama which is worth seeing just if you Bae Suzy fan.

story goes about FL from poor family which is attention seeker and ambitious to get into rich social class.
Which in way is ok since exist real life cases of such happening for example sadly even I know there exist some recent cases cant remember them..., but mine favorite story from this theme is about - Iacob Heraclid also known as Despot Voda which managed to forge his origin well enough to become monarch of Moldavia

plot -Yoo Mi is the woman who tells a small lie and ends up living someone else’s life. Hyun Joo is a woman who lives her life holding herself above everyone, treating them with neither kindness nor malice. She has a subtly tense relationship with Yoo Mi. Ji Hoon is Yoo Mi’s husband who is ambitious and future-oriented. Ji Won is a dependable senior who is the only person whom Yoo Mi trusts.

Can you handle story with indecisive main leads always breaking up and getting together?

firstly Han So Hee is one of mine fav actresses. This drama cant be compared to Soundtrack#1, but still its not as bad as ratings goes. Whole drama got quite nice cinematography its quite good to look at. At other hand it got alot slow scenes.

Whole drama is about college life at art school and relationships of students. For korean drama its surprise that they pushed into it mature content, but at least its some innovation.

Story of main pair is sadly, about guy which cant give girl he likes feeling of security, cause his own emotional immaturity. It makes whole story quite toxic and relationship going in circle get together X breakup. Still I got no problem with watching it.

plot - FL is art student in college and just break-up with her ex cause he cheated her. She soon got together with young man[ML] in bar, which as she gets to know latter happens to be student from same college.
