Lee Soo Hyuk Stole Every Scene
The best part of Lucky Romance for me was easily Lee Soo Hyuk as Choi Geon Uk, aka Gary Choi. His character was genuinely refreshing, charming, and unexpectedly adorable. I’m so used to seeing Lee Soo Hyuk play cold, mysterious, brooding characters with intimidating energy, so it was really nice seeing him in a lighter and more playful role for once. Gary had this awkward but sincere charm that made him stand out every time he was onscreen. Even his smaller mannerisms and expressions made the character lovable without trying too hard. Honestly, he brought a lot of warmth and personality to a drama that I otherwise struggled to stay invested in. A lot of my enjoyment came from his scenes because he naturally made things feel more entertaining and less repetitive.Unfortunately, I really didn’t care for the overall story. The plot felt dragged out and repetitive after a while, and a lot of the conflict relied too heavily on misunderstandings, superstition, and forced romantic tension. The drama kept circling the same ideas without making the emotional development feel satisfying. I also found it hard to fully connect with the main couple because the relationship progression didn’t feel that natural to me. There were moments that were supposed to feel quirky or heartwarming, but instead they just felt overly exaggerated or predictable.

Story:
From reading the plot summary, I couldn't help myself but trying to watch this. The plot seemed unique to me. I'm glad I checked it out! What really drove the story the most though were the characters developing and their chemestry.
Acting:
I didn't start watching it for the actors at first but the table turned quickly. Ryu Joon Yeol and Hwang Jung Eum made me fall in love with them quickly. I read in the comments for this drama that some people were bashing Ryu Joon Yeol because he "wasn't handsome enough" for them... Let me tell you, while watching this he was the most handsome man in the world for me because of his CHARISMA! His acting, the character he played... I fell so hard for him. The chemistry between the leads was awkward but cute and lovely and I definetly laughed my ass off more than a few times while watching this.
Music:
Not much to say; Good for the athmosphere and fitting depending on the situations.
Rewatch value:
Already watched it twice and would go for a third time.

Nada memorable
No lo recuerdo del todo pero hubo una escena que me hizo llorar un montón. Estuve llorando como por una hora de la impresión, y es que me dio coraje que estaba todo bien y de la nada salga una escena así. Creo que llore más que todo por la bronca.Tiene muchas escenas divertidas y en uno que otro capítulos se llora mucho.
OST Favoritos:
Soyou - Tell Me
Dawon (WJSN) - Syalala Romance
Kei (Lovelyz) - Shooting
