This show just keeps getting better and better 1000% 10/10 I love the friendship that everyone has with each other I feel like the love playlist writers like to do this thing where each season one couple get a chance to sort out all their misunderstandings while on the side another relationship is coming together it makes me feel good that I don't have to be sad for that one couple all the time.Also, I'm soo happy for Ha Neul and Jimin ( sidenote: I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT WAS KIM SAERON she looked soooo pretty and mature here) they were my favourite couple of the season (all time is junmo and do young ;) ) they just looked so good together and with Jimin added he finally realised like Pu reum said they see like they would be better as BestFRIENDS than to be a couple and I felt that too, but also I feel like it's not the end for Pu reum because the last episode was kind of foreshadowing that she will find her mister right so I think there will be another season for Pu reum and maybe Minwoo as well.

Han Jae In and Kang Yoon's story was horrible, he broke with her because he thought she was having a hard time, how smart ;/ so it was all a waste of time
Ha Neul and Ji Min were sweet but some point one would wonder did they like each other or did they just like liking each other?
haneul started the drama as if he didn't get over his bff, and jimin only wanted her fantasy guy, though it was cute that they started off as friends then slowly supposedly developed their feelings for each other.
it was nice to see Kim Sae Ron in a drama fit for her age, and it was I guess overall nice how they started off with a group of 4 that grew into 10..

I guess one reason to this was adding Kim Saeron's new character. We have been so used to the fixed casts and regular couples Hyun Seung and Jiwon, Jun Mo and Doyoung that adding her made us curious as to what this new character's role was that it brought us something new to look forward to. I had my doubts at first, but adding her character together with quiet guy Ha Neul was really cute. Who knew he could be someone so cool and romantic? He was the shy and quiet best friend with Pu Reum but now he's definitely strong lead material with Ji Min, and because of this i'm already looking forward to a Season 5 with them as the main story!!
We also see the character development for the casts this season as they experience challenges to their friendship with the issue of military enlistment, and graduation, and how they stayed strong for each other and kept in touch despite being apart. Despite all the goofiness, they are there for each other no matter what. Its also nice to see how they welcome new people into their circle despite not knowing them fully with Pureum, Haneul, and Jimin, it just shows how good and reliable of a friend and sunbae they are.
Something about Love Playlist 4 just made me feel all warm and nice after finishing it. How I wish I could have friends like them where I can be myself and goof around being too conscious about being judged.

It might be a bit too early to say this was one of my favourite shows I've watched this 2020 but I guess I was just incredibly charmed with this series' last segment.
Love Playlist season 4 is everything a good last (for now) series needs, and should be. As bittersweet as it might feel, the series picks up the loose knots from last series while creating new ones and exploring them further, developing the characters we've grown to love in ways we might have not expected (Hanneul, I'm looking at you...).
The writing for this series felt better, as did the plot which relied on those good-old drama cliché scenarios. The characters, as always, were the ones to colour and give life to everything (this series includes a new character, playful and clever Jimin, and has the apparent return of someone from LP's first season btw). The filming for this drama, in my opinion, felt a bit more sharp: if you pay enough attention, it feels that the directors and screens were more detailed and perfectionist with how they filmed and shot. The two osts, voiced by EXO-CBX and Suran, were one of the most enjoyable details from this 4th season; listening to Baekhyun's honey vocals and Suran's soulful, particular tone in the most significant scenes was a pleasure!
The ending though.... it's hard to let go, so I'm still holding on to the hope that Playlist will somehow revive either the drama's format (that cd that plays at the beginning of and those quotes that conclude each episode) or their characters (which they already have done, in 4 Reasons Why I Hate X-Mas, centered partly on Pureum!).

Even though the second and third season were just okay, this one had a more solide story. The love stories were cute and had a nice progress and pace. The couples had good chemistry as well which helped a lot with keeping the drama interesting. The music was pretty good too. However, the final episode was boring. They could have done it a bit better, with a nicer presentation of the conclusions of each story.
So, overall, six and a half out of ten.

I wasn't such a huge fan of the previous seasons, but as an avid follower of Playlist Global, it's hard to not continue watching a series when you've already been with it through three seasons.A theme I've started to notice though is that Love Playlist seems bent on going against the friends-to-lovers trope. First Jae-In and Hyun-Seung, then Pu-Reum and Ha-Neul
Surprisingly, I ended up liking this more than the previous seasons, mainly because of one ship: Ha-Neul and Ji-Min. They were adorable and I pretty much watched just for them.
I had loved Yoon in his previous season, but something about the noble idiocy and pining between him and Jae-In in this season made them not fun to watch, and honestly, as the seasons went on I've been becoming less and less invested in Jae-In as a main female character.
Watch for Park Sky and Sseoji. That is all.
