Questionable Plot???
last ss screams summary of what i’m thinking about NWABU, drop it after 4 episodes even with speedrun 2x , i mean i ady feel uncomfortable with the plot of fm falling in love with his dead lover’s brother??? likee mannn i mean and she still continue after knowing that and bcs they resemble each other??? emmm , i like JKY but nah SHK acting is bland and she ALWAYS have the same role pretty much like Lee Min Ho, that’s it visual not equal to good acting, imma bored at her lack of acting range at this point. and tbh NWABU get good rating only bcs it’s on national tv and have a good time slot, don’t think it gonna survive if it’s in cable networksWas this review helpful to you?
Such a disappointment.
I was initially so excited for this drama, especially because the main couple (Song Hye-kyo and Jang Ki-yong) looked so good together. I was excited for this because the previews and promo videos looked promising!The beginning was good, but it only went downhill. Honestly speaking, I probably would have dropped this way sooner if it weren't for the side stories/couples (most especially Sehun). It's a meh kdrama, I definitely think they could've done so much better with this.
The main couple were just too boring for me that the supporting characters took the spotlight, and I kept waiting for the (main) characters to finish whatever they were doing for that scene so I could see more of the supporting characters. Not gonna lie, the casting director did a good job with choosing the cast because everyone was so good looking here, and probably reason why a lot of us stayed, lol. Plus Sehun is here.

Big disappoinment
This is the first time I gave up to watch JKY's drama. I love his acting but nothing can convince me to watch more than ep 5. It is so sad for him and SHK to be put in such a storyline. They deserve better drama.It was a nonsense. It took me so long to wait until the episodes done, but it's totally useless.
Why are these Korean dramas getting boring nowadays? Please do make something watchable and enjoyable.
It seems like the production crew really put all the effort to the main characters, while the rest of it is bulshit.

IT'S SO BORING
It's so boring that I cannot continue watching after only 2 episodes. I really had high hopes knowing Jang Ki-yong and Song Hye-kyo will be in the same screen, but the first episode was disappointing, unless you're into that kind of drama with flat expression and slow storyline. I mean, the character could be cold, but it shouldn't be soooo boring. And I feel like Kyo repeatedly chooses this kind of character, or is it her who couldn't live up the characters? Her stoic expression reminds me of Encounter and That Winter The Wind Blows, boring and flat. After the first episode I still hope for improvement in the second ep, but there's nothing. The only surprise is in the end of the second episode, apparently Ha Young Eun has been sleeping with someone who almost became her brother in law. What the hell? Jang Ki Yong is quite okay in portraying his character, but the best thing that helps SHK playing her character is just her wardrobe. You might want to watch if you're a fan of Jang Ki-yong or Song Hye-kyo, but sadly not even Jang Ki-yong's handsome face can keep me watching this drama.Was this review helpful to you?
MDL Reviews are right
I really tried with this one but …. no. Just no.Seems like most of our fellow reviewers here has mentioned at which point they dropped the show. Mine was at episode 11.
I’m a big SHK fan but her pretty face couldn’t save this one. At least with Encounter, I made it til the end.
The storyline is WEAK. It’s post 2020 and we’re still doing this level of misunderstandings and conflicts?
Then, the ML looks like a creepy stalker most of the time.
They kept saying that they were in love but—- why do I not feel it!? It felt more like lust than love to me. They had a ONS, then bumped into each other, and suddenly they’re in love? And the coincidences are just way too fairytale.
Sorry SHK, I really tried.

She chose to comeback with this?
What criteria did Song Hye-kyo use to chose this role as her comeback to KD? This is the same type of character she played in her last series, "Encounter", before her 2 year break following the divorce. If she's as good as her supporters claim she is, why not choose a project that will showcase her diverse acting skills. Unfortunately, having watched "Encounter" and 3 episodes of "Now We Are Breaking Up", I'm discouraged to spend any of my time in any Korean drama with Song Hye-kyo.I had high hopes for this drama because of Jang Ki-yong but what a disappointment! There are so many good series to be watched, don't waste your time on this one.

Wasted
The fact I was smart enough to drop this in 2 episodes has saved me 14 hours of my life. I don't know what happened in rest of 14 episodes but I can tell from 2 episodes...FL seems to be successful but still can't make smart decisions and lets her subordinates act on their own and doesn't reprimand them. She is 30s but still hasn't moved on from some relationship of 20s for so many years and lets her mom control her. ML seems to be obsessed over some one night stand and constantly chases FL for what reason(??). FL's friend just immature for her age. The business-fashion vibe of drama felt shallow and preachy. I have not been a fan of SHK but I can surely tell at this point she is getting typecast as a cold careerwoman. Sometimes I felt I was watching encounter all over again. Fan of JKY but this one..meh. Music is nothing special either. Pacing was slow too.
NWABU, Not suitable for contemporary times.

Monótono
Debido al elenco me esperaba más de este drama.La historia de los protagonistas me ha aburrido bastante, pensé en verla hasta el final por si había algún giro de guión que me sorprendiese, aunque al final no ha sido así.
La actriz principal muchas veces tenía un tono monótono y sin ganas que hacía que lo que decía en ciertos momentos sonase falso.
Salvan el aburrimiento de drama las historias de los secundarios.
Sinceramente se puede pasar perfectamente de ver este drama.

Lenta y hay que leer entrelinea a ver si le ves la profundidad
Comencé a ver esta serie solo porque amo a Jang Ki Yong, y realmente no me importa su poker face, puedo vivir con eso, porque generalmente sus ojos lo dicen todo. Ya terminé la serie, y no entiendo porque tan malas evaluaciones, si hay poca química, si, a ella le cuesta mucho su rol. Lo que estoy entendiendo es que el director se paso con la exigencia de seriedad en sus escenas, sobre todo porque ya conocemos a estos actores de otras series.Al final no es una excelente serie, por ahora la historia es interesante, un poco lenta y repetitiva, igual he visto peores.
No es una serie que recomendaría 100%, solo porque amo a este hombre es que la vi completa. Todas las situaciones que habían en la serie, eran bastante reales, actitudes de los personajes muy posibles en la vida real, en especial con lo que se oponen a la relación, lo entendí perfectamente. Como siempre se ponen poco creativos en el capitulo final, mala costumbre.
No esperen mucho de esta serie, no esperen mucho de las actuaciones de la pareja principal, aunque al final, no es tan mala como las reseñas que leí la quieren hacer ver.

Não assista focando apenas no romance
Confesso que até o episódio nove eu estava super empolgada e achando o ritmo muito bom, estava sendo nota nove pra mim, só que do episódio dez em diante começou a ficar muito mais lento, o casal ficava sempre falando em terminar...entre outras coisinhas.Youn Eun é uma design de moda e Jae Guk é um fotógrafo renomado, os dois se encontram em um evento e acabam se envolvendo (achavam eles que seria um caso de uma noite) mas tempos depois se reencontram e acaba por rolar um relacionamento, só que nem tudo são flores né, aí aparece mil empecilhos na vida deles: Família contra, relacionamentos antigos e até mesmo o trabalho.
Como o título sugere temos rompimento/ separação, mas não apenas do casal principal e sim de todos os personagens ali e em diversas situações.
O drama não é decepcionante como muitos falaram (talvez foi pra quem focou apenas no romance dos protagonistas) ele foi lento como a maioria dos dramas desse gênero, mas retratou vários pontos que foram bem interessantes como a coragem de largar a comodidade no trabalho para buscar o que realmente sonhava, a amizade verdadeira, os últimos momentos de uma mãe com doença terminal com sua filhinha pequena, e por aí vai.
A atuação da Song Hye Kyo que tanto criticam eu achei muito boa como sempre, ela e o Jang Ki Yong tiveram uma ótima química, assim como o casal secundário ( que eram dois maluquinhos )
Uma coisa que não gostei no final (o que não é nada de mais só drama de dorameira mesmo) mas no reencontro podia ter pelo menos um abraço e não uma olhada à dois metros de distância .

Pior drama de 2021
Fui muito guerreira e assisti a 8 episódios desse dorama lamentável. Chega! Tudo nele é ruim, menos a aparência dos protagonistas, que são lindos. O roteiro é lastimável e parece que foi escrito por uma pré adolescente. Como se não fosse o bastante a história ser realmente muito ruim, a atriz principal entrega uma das piores atuações que já vi em toda a minha vida, chega a dar vergonha assistindo. Ela ou um poste fariam o mesmo papel. A direção é tão fraca que não consegue salvar nada. Enfim, 8 horas de vida desperdiçados vendo rostos bonitos. Valia muito mais a pena ter folheado uma revista.Was this review helpful to you?
