My Strange Hero (2018)

Loved thiss

I really enjoyed this drama!! I was entertained throughout and surprisingly only stopped a few times to watch something else!

I love the storyline but I feel like more should have been added!! Idk what but I feel like now should have been there!

The actors and actresses were AMAZING!! Especially 2nd male lead! You ever watch a show and the “villain” plays his part so well you start to hate him in real life!! I wanted to stomp him in cement and commence to covering his body up with chalk drawings after the cement dried. That’s how well he played his part! And it didn’t help that he was attractive af!! Made me wanna cry!

The back story was good asf too!! Like, ok then mr director sir!! Go off

A twist to the standard school yard romance drama

I loved this drama. I was only expecting a light weight school drama but how wrong was I. It was so well written and the theme is so strong but without going all dark and horrid. It is all about love at every level. Love between the OTP, family members, friends and colleagues. It is all there and it is their devotion that overcame obstacles and adversities. The chemistry of our OTP is off the chart and how they talked and cleared up their misunderstanding and then became so strong and steadfast is a breath of fresh air compared to the usual k-drama trope. Thank you writer-nim.

Honestly speaking, I did take a break from the drama after the flashbacks of their relationships ended. Probably the part where people dropped this drama but I hope you guys give the drama a chance as it got better after some time and I didn't stop at all after that which is a good thing. (I don't have much time to watch drama and there are some dramas that I would actually stop and take a break/got lazy to continue)

I love the storyline throughout because the characters did evolve time after time. There were lots of funny fluffy moments in the show which made it more entertaining. (If you like shows like the School series, this show wouldn't disappoint you). When the story reaches a certain part, you would want to know more about why this and that happened and when it did. You WILL forgive the poor fella no matter how annoying he was.

All the actors and actresses including the supporting roles all did a great job in showing and expressing for their characters even those supporting roles (students) were good. Look at Young Min and Seung Woo, they definitely left us an impression from the show because of their acting+character. And I LOVE Boksu's Mother and Mr Park, they were my favourite as well. They are like the guardian angel that's needed to guide all the children while they are still growing.

I won't rewatch this show unless I miss Bok Soo's silly-ness being madly in love ;)

Dropped half way through episodes 7 - 8

This drama is basically about a charismatic, handsome guy who's belief in justice makes him fight or break stuff. Due to a misunderstanding between him, a shy, domestically abused rich guy and a smart, sweet looking, tough girl, the main character has decided to get his revenge on the other two, by being their pain in the butt.

This drama will surely make you irritated and annoyed in many ways. If the school, the system, the bullies or the teachers doesn't get to you, then the constant repetition of miscommunication and misunderstandings between the leads, might.

Of course this drama isn't all bad. It has some clever jokes and the secrets are pretty interesting. Sometimes it may break the reason of logic but as it is for the sake of some drama and compassion, some may let it slide (I couldn't let it slide).

I dropped this drama because I don't think it is of high quality to push the main characters good looks so much that all the other characters constantly talk about it. I think that the foundation on which the story is built was a bit below my expectations and I'm not a big fan of constant misunderstandings caused by pride and the annoying habit of hiding the truth.
I also feel like it doesn't stand out from it's genre and that it could have been executed better.

I came to this drama after watching "He is psychometric" and "Memories of the Alhambra" which both were 9/10. So coming from A list dramas to this might have affected my perception and caused an unfair comparison.

I recommend this drama to people who like romance and conflict as well as high school drama with some darker turns. It's not a bad drama, I just started watching it at a bad time. Maybe I'll come back to it later.

ENJOY!!

Kdramas really do need to not put on really ambiguous titles as their English official titles, because I wouldn't have started watching this fun show if I haven't bothered to read about what the story was about actually. I rarely watch much School-type unless I happened to have nothing to watch and it was on TV, which was how I managed to watch the ones I already did. This drama had a similar vibe with Who Are You: School 2015 so I ended up really enjoying this. Not many school kdramas had the revenge theme as the main plot after all, like sure there's always the many inner issues that will get involved but not like this.

Yanno, even after watching Ruler and Seungho's other more recent works it still felt surreal to see him playing older characters, haha. Since he still have that boyish look on him, but I guess it gave him the advantage of still being able to play teenage roles alongside the older version of his character convincingly enough without needing to have a younger actor playing the teenage counterparts. And I still love how the drama can't stop gushing about how handsome Boksu was and it didn't feel out of place. Seungho really brought out the many charms and great quality of Boksu despite his many flaws, and you can really get why people tend to love Boksu even when he's not quite so bright.

I used to watch Jo Bo-ah and especially Kwak Doyeon play older characters in other dramas to the point that I almost always forgot that Seungho and them don't really have very big age gaps between. Have to say that Boksu and Soojung look good together and their love story was pretty cute. And this was the only few times I don't really mind the whole teacher-student couple tropes.

I really love the many supporting characters, especially Teacher Park played by Cheon Hojin who cared a lot about Boksu to the point that he act like a father to Boksu who grew up without one. It's really cute to see Teacher Park being so bashful to Boksu's mom to the point of being adorable.

I really love the many comedic moments; like how Kyunghyun had this internal radar where he could sense his old homeroom teacher approaching him, the funny CSI parody as well as them training the kids to study as if they were trying to train kungfu under Master Wong Feihung's lead. And I love how each even-numbered episode would end in a dramatic tone as the plot progressed towards unexpected outcomes and made one eager to anticipate what happens in the next episode. It really felt like watching really long but engaging movie.

More stars

I feel like this drama needs more stars. I rewatched My Strange Hero a lot of times. Never disappoints me.
Story: I feel sad for both 3 lead characters. The most for ML. Heart touching story. Plus romance. My hearts aches and smiles at the same time.
Acting /Cast: I love how well I can feel the emotions, feelings delivered by YooSeungHo.
Music: Beautiful OST.. Stella Jang, I still sing her song, is so relaxing. Blue sky" so delightful. Definitely the OST can take you back to memories of MY STRANGE HERO.
REWATCH VALUE : Enough for me. Well ended plot.
Overall. 10/10 can't give less can't give more.

Drama scolastico molto carino.

Drama ambientato a scuola con protagonisti allievi ma anche professori.
Racconta la storia di un amore nato sui banchi di scuola ma che viene interrotto bruscamente e senza chiarimenti per 9 anni.Una volta adulti i protagonisti si rincontrano in altre vesti e scoprono che alla fine non è cambiato molto,quei sentimenti nonostante le incomprensioni e il tempo sono ancora lì da tutte le parti,persino per il second lead.Uba storia di un romanticismo dolce e bello con loro due molto teneri e complici.
Succedono un bel po di cose e la storia score abbastanza veloce.
Gli allievi sono chi più chi meno dei "personaggi" ma molto simpatici,lo stesso vale per il professore che proteggerà e aiuterà i protagonisti.
Soliti cliché un po' soliti è un bel finale.
Molto carino come drama che merita la visione anche solo per lui che quando sorride ti stende!

Mi aspettavo qualcosa di diverso il giorno in cui ho fatto play sul primo episodio, mi aspettavo una mattonata e invece sono rimasta piacevolmente sorpresa, ok la trama in alcuni casi è un po’ improbabile eppure mi ha emozionato tanto, i legami e i malintesi sono raccontati bene e in alcuni casi ho provato proprio tristezza grazie anche ad un ottima fotografia giocata tutta sui volti e sulle espressioni dei protagonisti che mi hanno generato una certa empatia,assolutamente coinvolgente (pensare che il lavoro prima della stessa regia non mi era piaciuto molto). Il “cattivo” se possiamo chiamarlo così, alcune volte l’ho proprio odiato e altre volte invece ho provato tristezza per lui, mi sono piaciute davvero le sue sfaccettature che l’hanno reso più reale di altri, comunque un ottima interpretazione da parte di tutto il cast. Il“tutti uniti per la causa” mi è piaciuto tantissimo anche se purtroppo inverosimile (un vero peccato per l’amanita) perché mi ha fatto sognare un mondo migliore. Ho apprezzato anche il messaggio tra le righe, c’è sempre una possibilità, una possibilità per fare la cosa giusta, una possibilità per cambiare è una possibilità per essere delle persone migliori e fare ammenda. La poesia che c’è sulla definizione di fiori selvatici è delicata e significativa, nonostante vengano calpestati e alcune volte neanche si conoscono i nomi questi fiori continuano a ricrescere, forti anno dopo anno. Dovremmo essere tutti un po’ come Kang Bok Soo, combattere per le giuste cause senza paura e non perdere la speranza. Concludo il papiro kilometrico con una citazione del personaggio principale che mi è piaciuta molto “Non importa cosa fai, non importa chi sei, tutti in questo mondo hanno un mucchio di ragioni per essere amati”
