A Disappointment
This was so boring for me, and it’s a shame because I was really looking forward to seeing Kim Woo-bin make his comeback. I feel like with the high rating, maybe I’m wrong?? All I took away from this was people yelling, fighting, everyone being disappointed about one thing or another, when that wasn’t happening, they were eating. Not really any kind of love story with any physical affection. What was it? Well, it was very boring, with very little happening other than, like I said, yelling, fighting, disappointment, and eating. I would never sit through this again. As it was, I had it on fast forward from the 3rd episode, hoping it would get better. I should have just dropped it.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?

The only blues that made me happy!
Our blues written by Noh hee Kyung jkkanim depicts the story of the people of Jeju Island.With so superior caste and such beautiful writing this drama will take you to very beautiful Journey.
This drama is slow placed drama so you have to absorbed in the story fully to actually understand the meaning of the characters.
I love all the stories but my favourite was teenage pregnancy the way their story was presented was so good and soo admiring.
Other stories and their blues were also good.
I love how the stories were presenting real life in such beautiful way that we are not in a fairytale where every story has a happy ending every person has to go through some blues to find the colour they belong.
The ost with you is now favourite ost of all times
I am recommending this drama to all the people who real stories

Well-acted and well-crafted, but the stories could have been more interesting and believable
The acting, directing, photography, editing, etc. were top-notch. However, the omnibus format didn't allow enough time for any of the stories to be fully fleshed out. And the stories would often begin with the characters in absolutely miserable circumstances, but very quickly, they would end up resolving their problems in ways that I found to be too simple to be believed. And at the end, you feel like all of the characters were good people. However, when you think back to their earlier actions, many of them were really horrible people, and their redemption seems too easy, and seemingly intractable character flaws seem to suddenly vanish. But if you just go with the flow, and let the emotions and comradery overwhelm you, then the show becomes a rich and enjoyable experience.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
Our Blues: A Tapestry of Life, Love, and Second Chances
Our Blues isn’t just a drama—it’s a whole EXPERIENCE. From the first episode, it wraps you in a warm, comforting hug while simultaneously preparing to break your heart into a million tiny pieces. 🥹— Cast That Shines
This drama doesn’t just focus on one story—oh no, it gives you a whole buffet of emotions through multiple characters, and everyone delivers. 🌟 Whether it’s a love story, family drama, or the struggles of daily life, every thread of this tapestry feels raw and real.
Lee Dong-seok (Lee Byung-hun): Dong-seok is the gruff guy with a heart of gold. His story of reconciliation with his mother? I was SOBBING. 😭 The emotional depth Lee Byung-hun brings to the role is just... wow.
Min Seon-a (Shin Min-a): Shin Min-a as Seon-a is heartbreak personified. Her struggle with depression is portrayed so beautifully and sensitively—it’s like you’re feeling every ounce of her pain alongside her.
Lee Jung-eun, Cha Seung-won, Kim Woo-bin, Han Ji-min... I mean, can we talk about this cast? Each actor brings their A-game, making every moment hit right in the feels.
— The Stories That Stick With You
Every episode feels like its own little movie. You’ll laugh, cry, and sometimes just sit there in stunned silence because the emotions are THAT intense.
~The single mother trying to connect with her son.
~The estranged friends finding their way back to each other.
~The teenagers navigating first love and broken families.
~Every story is relatable, and the way they all intertwine on Jeju Island feels so natural and effortless. 🏝️
— The Beauty of Jeju Island
Can we take a moment to appreciate the visuals? Jeju Island is practically a character in itself. From the breathtaking sunsets to the ocean waves, the cinematography makes you want to pack your bags and live a slow, peaceful life by the sea. 🌊✨
— Final Thoughts: A Healing Experience
Our Blues is more than a drama—it’s a healing journey. It’s messy, heartbreaking, heartwarming, and everything in between. The characters feel like real people, and their stories remind you of life’s ups and downs, love’s complexities, and the power of second chances.

And I’m feeling… Blue
Taking some real-life problems and highlighting them through the screen, “Our Blues” (or literally “Our Depression”) tells the story of the everyday life and struggles of a bunch of people that have one thing in common: the island of Jeju.“Our Blues” is a drama everyone can watch, because of its slice of life theme, but at the same time, is not for everyone. It contains a huge amount of depression thus, it’s not a drama someone can watch simply for fun or enjoyment. Also, its episodic structure is not everyone's cup of tea.
Production wise, “Our Blues” is another technically even drama. It has brilliant directing and its cinematography is beautiful, but not so artistic. In combination with the mainly chilling music, the drama has a melancholic tone which fits perfectly with its theme. Last by not least, the cherry on top of the production which gives the drama a high quality, is its stellar cast.
The story
“Our Blues” is a slice of life anthology consisting of 20 episodes and each story has a duration of 2-3 episodes. By using many different stories, “Our Blues” shows various real-life situations of people in various ages, social statuses. As the stories have small duration, we can say that it is fast paced drama but the overall pace is not synchronized with the fast pace of everyday life. On the other hand, I’d say that it is a slow paced and chill drama.
The coherence of the drama is almost excellent as the center-story of the drama changes very naturally and even though a story ends or hasn’t been told yet, is still developing through the drama. It has to be mentioned though, that I didn’t like all the stories the same, some felt weaker than others. The weakest story in my opinion was the first one and it was the biggest disadvantage of the drama, because it gave the drama a weak start. But as the episodes passed, I felt the drama only was getting better and better and without realizing it, I fell in love with it.
As far as the characters are concerned, they are all well written. They are multidimensional, imperfect and, as a result, “real”. Almost none of them is likable and they all have their scars, traumas and daily struggles which in the end, make them who they are.
Epilogue
Blue is the coolest color, it’s the color of depression. But blue also brings to mind feelings of calmness and serenity. In “Our Blues” this conflicted meaning of blue is used a lot. There were many depressing scenes accompanied with calm and chilling music or beautiful sceneries. And in the end, all these combined overwhelm you with a feeling of comfort, relief and rejoicing. They give you a strange feeling of purification. “Our Blues” manages to perfectly show that through sharing Our Blues with people we love, we can find a little spark of happiness and continue to live. This beautiful message is the reason “Our Blues” is a very unique and special slice of life drama.

Chased My Blues Away
Wow, what can I say? Our Blues is one of the best dramas I’ve seen this year. I am laughing and crying at the same time. It brought me all sorts of emotions and flavors: romance, comedy, friendship, family. I believe that its current rating here on MDL doesn’t give justice to how each characters portrayed their roles. The screenwriting and cinematography are beautiful. Despite dealing with different storylines, it wasn’t confusing and the transition is smooth. I looked forward to every weekends because of this show and it saddens me to say bye to the Pureung Family of Jeju.I have no major issues or complaints. I absolutely enjoyed and loved each and every story presented. It was wrapped up warmly and perfectly. The soundtrack is also very good. My favorite is “With You” by Jimin and Ha Sung Woon. Not to mention “Quando, Quando”. Everytime I hear it, it will remind me of them.
I won’t have any second thought seeing this again in case I missed the gang or want to relieve their memories. This one is a classic that I will always remember. The powerhouse cast did not disappoint. All the actors did an excellent job. The ending was satisfying and heartwarming.
Why not a perfect 10 if I loved this show a lot? The 0.5 is for the show to leave an empty spot in my memory. This is one of the best slice of life genre in my Kdrama archives.
Congratulations to all the staff, crew and actors behind “Our Blues”. I wish you all happiness from this day on.

A gem made out of the ordinary!!
Following the lives of habitants of jeju Island this show was all about relationships of all kinds, and I loved it! The severed ties with a mother, a 'can't get over' first love. The struggle of a special needs family member , ruined friendships and much more.This show was perfect to watch over the weekend after a stressful week. It made me feel all kind of emotions added with amazing acting by all the actors(which i was already expecting because of such an amazing cast) every relationship that was shown was beautiful and perfect. The carefree days of youth portrayed the beauty of high school, first love, first kiss and so much more and gave me the sense that even if I am getting older I still have those treasurable memories to hold on to.
Even though all of the stories were beautiful(which I won't spoil for you) but those that topped my list were 1. Young ok & young hee 2. Dong seok & seon ah 3. Jung hyeon & young joo.
The entire series was perfectly paced I did not feel the need to skip any part and enjoyed every episode altogether. Some of them made me teary alot because of the great acting and expressing those emotions.
Loved the songs and found some of it to be on my favorite list.
Would recommend the series to anyone who wants to go on an emotional Rollercoaster ride.

A lot of drama, for me one that would be unnecessary
I thought the story and the actors were almost all great. For me, the story between Park Jung Joon and Lee Young-Ok was such a damper that I skipped their scenes and almost wanted to drop the whole series. It was just too bad and the storyline with her sister was already obvious beforehand. I despise this attitude towards people with Down's syndrome. I found all the other stories very sensitively interpreted. Lee Dong Seok's turmoil with his mother and the teenagers' desperation to become parents were the most remarkable stories for me.¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?

Aquele dorama que todos deviam assistir.
Não sei dizer a razão desse dorama não ser tão comentado, nossa, ele mexeu demais comigo!Acho que foi o primeiro dorama que assisti que conseguiu abortar tantos temas num único drama. Amizade, família, preconceito, gravidez na adolescência, rivalidades, desentendimentos, romance, depressão, divórcio… a lista é imensa.
Eu me pegava chorando do nada, sorrindo e me apaixonando. O legal que cada capítulo ele tenta abortar um personagem como foco mas sem deixar de envolver todos que estavam na drama de alguma forma. O que deixou o desenvolvimento de cada história leve.
O que eu mais amei foi a história dos adolescentes, que pra mim eram mais adultos do que muitos, e acho que no final eles deviam ter tido mais tempo em tela, me apaguei tanto a eles que senti falta disso no final. E das irmãs, nunca tinha visto um dorama abortar uma história com síndrome de down, e aquele capitão que homem, ali não existe igual n, kkk. Só não entendo a razão deles não terem um beijo descente, que ódio.
A atuação de todos é excepcional, acertaram em cheio em todo o elenco. Coreia mostrando pro mundo que eles entendem sim de atuação! E como! Poderia muito bem ter mais capítulos que eu assistiria, eu nem percebi que já tava perto do final!
E gostei muito do final que juntaram todos e deu aquela nostalgia ao relembrar a história marcante de cada um. E percebemos que somos humanos sim, erramos, acertamos. Mas o que importa no final do processo é irmos em busca da nossa felicidade.
“Em nossa vida não podemos nunca nos esquecer de que não nascemos para sofrer ou para ser infelizes.
Nascemos para ser felizes, desejarmos felicidade a todos.”

Plus que récit choral, suite de duos ou trios...
Je l’ai beaucoup aimé, avec pourtant un bémol sur la fin !Nous sommes sur l’île de Jeju, mais pas dans les sites des décors de sageuks ou de romance de luxe ! Non, nous avons des pêcheurs(et pêcheuses), des marchands de poissons, des commerçants, des gens dans l’ensemble comme vous et moi, mais en Corée, donc ça peut brailler pas mal ! C’est assez méridional comme ambiance. Le groupe le plus exotiques pour nous est sans doute celui des haenyeo, ces femmes qui gagnent leur vie en pêchant des coquillages en plongeant en apnée, tradition séculaire de Jeju, que l’on retrouve d’ailleurs aussi au Japon !
Le début démarre sur les chapeaux de roues avec le retour à Jeju d’un enfant du pays, directeur de l'agence bancaire du village, interprété par Cha Seung Won, qui y retrouve à la fois son premier amour (Lee Jung Eun)et ses amis d’enfance, et cela nous donne une très jolie histoire de tendresse, d’amitié mais sans aucune mièvrerie, car les retrouvailles ne sont pas toujours aussi simples… Puis on passe à une autre histoire, mais certains personnages clés restent pour nous guider : la marchande poisson, le marchand de soupe de boudin, celui de glace, et les haenyeo, dont le groupe et les plongées sous-marines donnent lieu à des séquences géniales !
Cependant ce qui fait la qualité du drama en fait aussi son défaut, les histoires personnelles prennent de plus en plus le pas sur le groupe,quand on avance dans le drama, et j’aurais aimé que le chœur accompagne un peu plus souvent et un peu mieux les solistes, comme dans la très belle séquence qui fait intervenir une jeune actrice trisomique.
Mais je me suis régalée avec chacune des histoires, celle des deux amies qui règlent enfin un vieux compte, celle de la sœur handicapée d’une haenyeo qui débarque soudain, celle des deux adolescents amoureux, dont les pères se détestent, bref, chacune d’entre elles m’a plu car elle ouvrait une fenêtre sur la vie coréenne, et tout simplement sur le cœur humain.
Mon bémol, c’est la dernière de ces histoires, la réconciliation difficile entre Lee Byung Hun et sa mère Kim Hye Ja, que j’ai trouvée trop longue, qui m’a laissée avec des questions sans réponse, et surtout qui a rendu le retour final au groupe trop court, trop superficiel. On s’est trop éloigné des autres personnes qui méritaient tout autant notre attention. D’un autre côté, si je l’avais vu d’une seule traite je n’aurais peut-être pas ressenti ça, mais je pense que 20 épisodes c’est trop, 18 auraient été très bien !
La réalisation classique et solide soutient bien l’histoire, et les acteurs sont tous parfaits !! Les scènes de plongées sont superbes, et il y a un juste mélange d'humour, et d'émotion, au moins pendant les 3/4 du drama.
Je ne peux m’empêcher de souligner le vrai retour de Kim Woo Bin, son sourire chaleureux intact et rayonnant !
La bande son m’a plu, elle est très agréable, souligne bien les atmosphères, n’est pas envahissante.
Au final c’est un drama tout à fait recommandable, quand on aime les scénarios fondés sur le sociétal, le cœur humain et ses trésors secrets.

The best drama ever seen
i've been watching kdramas for over 14 years and i watched over 300 dramas but this is literally a masterpiece .So in love with each character story , acting skills, osts, .. everything is perfect
It feels like it is very real drama with everyday situations, battles that many of us go through. It has all kinds of things: love, drama, family stuff, friendships, differences of people. I don't know if it's the right way to say it but it is very humane drama.
i would really recommend this drama for y'all
There were many times that I laughed, smiled form ear to ear, or laughed after crying my eyes out.
