Erm....
Sooo, completed the story in one sitting. And honestly, it was kind of bland? Nothing interesting and man, the ex (aka manager) was annoying as hell.To be honest, I felt like the fluff was lowkey missing at most episodes? It seems lacking at chemistry and romance plot as the main guy keep having issues with his 'ex'.
I kind of forgot most of the plot actually, which kind of show how the story don't have much memorable parts.
It was OK, but not the best. You can watch as a time-passer with x2 speed to be honest lol Because that's what I did

Lacks a little bit of everything
Mainly, lacks in-depth with the scenes, which limits their opportunity to show more of their acting skills. I wish my kdrama to make me cry at some point, make me hurt when they fight or break up, make me happy and consistently give me butterflies. My excitement towards the end has lessen.I think having that title as the title is not a positive thing. It will only add up as a spoiler for viewers, that no matter what’s gonna happen in between. It’s still gonna be a Happy Merry Ending.
There wasn’t enough build-up before the main leads broke up, like I wanted to witness more arguements, and 2nd leads getting in between them. The break up felt like forced to be put out there because it should at least happen before the ending.
Not enough scenes with the bestfriend who likes him, he would’ve been a better 2nd lead than the ex-bf. They could’ve made the viewers be attached more with the him. So audiences could have different teams to support and hype online.
Even the ex-bf didn’t have enough scenes to strengthen the plot twists. Would’ve been better to show the ex-bf giving them more hard time. Regret and jealousy, if applicable.
It’s not something I’d rewatch. But not a bad one.

Acting without a real Storyline
The two lead charakters acted professional in a technically professional made film ... only if there would have been a storyline 20 and less than minutes hadn´t been enough for a good development. The story line got me a feeling of choped off andf frangmented. Too many wholes and out of no where actions and feelings or traumas. Incl. the guy originally causing the trauma. He vanished, came back with agression and vanished into newhere again. Portraied as well as the villain too flat. A bit crude.The best friend came too short as the support he´d been ... lack of time.
I don´t have any problems with the pace of a daily soap, but then there should be a storyline without too many guessing and putting a puzzle together.
The one years separation ... The sudden outburst causing it ... sigh ... Came for me out of nowhere. And for real ... who would long for a year? A bit unrealistic. Anyhow they found themselves and ... Happy Merry Ending.

depression vs love
I actually loved it, I don’t know why so many people giving it low ratings.The story was pointing out how trauma, depression and anxiety can affect different aspects of your daily life (socializing, dating, etc.) while also showing us these emotions are run by clinging onto something you shouldn’t and when you let go of such a thing you can finally start breathing again.
It was done perfectly I don’t know if I am looking too deep into it or if others are not looking hard enough but this was a beautiful story with many difficulties which were overrun by Love. ❤️

Genuinely made me happy and merry!
I actually really love this show! Yes, it has its flaws, but I still think it's almost criminally underrated here.It takes a quite unique approach to its romance plot by having both characters be pretty much immediately aware of their attraction to one another. They are both very emotionally literate people capable of self-reflection and I find their dynamic incredibly refreshing.
You don't need big misunderstandings or wilful obliviousness to drive the plot and build romantic tension, it's just as effective, if not more so, to have the characters fully aware of their situation while most of the conflict arises from their own flaws and insecurities. It makes the characters feel deeply real and their struggles almost painfully understandable.
What's more, the characters are all wholly, utterly charming and I fell head over heels for them despite myself. They're all just so damn likeable, every single one of them.
The number of times I found myself thinking "Aw hell, that's really sweet, goddammit I really like them don't I" is frankly embarassing.
Furthermore the show clearly has a lot of love and respect for its characters and the topics it addresses through their story. Seung Jun, for instance, has a severe panic disorder, I mean this man is just absolutely riddled with anxiety. He frequently requires medication to manage his panic attacks, has a fear of crowds, and sometimes needs his friend to cuddle him to sleep. Not only is he unquestioningly accepted by the people around him, the story also makes a point of showing that this is not some character flaw to overcome, not something that can, or even needs to, simply be fixed.
Love is not the ultimate solution for all of life's problems. Just because you fall in love, doesn't mean you're magically cured of your mental illness. Recovering from trauma takes time and effort and progress isn't linear.
I have never seen a rom-com let one of its characters say "I really like you, but I just wasn't ready for a relationship. I needed to work on myself first"
And while, yes, that is not a direct quote from the show and yes, this plot point could have been handled a little more smoothly, it's still a very unusual and realistic approach to telling a romantic story and I personally deeply appreciate it.
All in all, this is a truly wholesome series with profoundly flawed and lovable characters, excellent music, a sensitive portrayal of trauma and abuse and what it means to overcome them, and just about the happiest ending you could wish for.
I admit that some of the criticisms of this show are not unfounded, it does sometimes feel slightly awkward or rushed.
But I actually think the pacing works perfectly for the story and the creators clearly put a lot of care into weaving together the plot and made full use of the limited runtime available to them.
Give it a shot, you might grow to love it just as much as I do.

Que voz linda! Nada mais que isso?
Como quase na maioria dos bls coreanos, existem personagens pouco desenvolvidas. Antes de tudo, devo dizer que a história não é lá a melhor coisa do mundo, apesar de transparecer problemas mentais e até mesmo a existência de um perseguidor, que se diz apaixonado pelo protagonista.Não tenho muito a dizer sobre esta história. O enredo é mal desenvolvido devido ao curto tempo de episódio. Por exemplo o protagonista Seung Jun apresenta uma voz bonita e apenas isso, porque quando foca nos traumas e problemas mentais, isso é só introduzido, mas nunca desenvolvido, quase num flash, sabemos que ele conseguiu ultrapassar.
Jae Hyun é uma personagem que aparentemente se apaixona á primeira vista e rapidamente ronda o Seung Jun. A prinicípio é desconfortável, já que ele não tem muito o senso do respeito e do espaço privado.
Sobre o melhor amigo de Seung Jun, eu não o achei assim uma personagem que seja um grande suporte para o protagonista, já que algumas vezes ele estava com o prota e de maneira rápida ele era retirado de cena. E não entendi muito a tentativa falha de triangulo amoroso. Porque se o melhor amigo amasse Seung Jun, penso que ele seria mais presente e até se possível confessaria o seu amor. Na verdade eu queria que ele ficasse junto com a sua aluna.
Uma coisa que me incomodou foi o vilão, esse que não se sabia se amava mesmo o prota. Não sei o porquê da sua existência... humm a não ser para enfatizar e mostrar ao protagonista que deveria ter medo ou até mesmo algum ataque de pânico. O que deu a entender que por vezes o roteirista esquecia que ele tinha algum trauma, ele só os tinha quando convinha.
O final nem adocico nem azedo o bl, eu até me questionei o porquê do beijo final. Penso que não adentou muito á história. Para aqueles que gostam de falar em química, penso que eles não tiveram, na minha opinião eles só tiveram momentos bonitos.
Esta série é só recomendável, para quem quer ver uma história rasa, que não dá muitas explicações nem desenvolvem as personagens. As músicas são o melhor deste bl, sem dúvida.

очень сжато, но можно пофантазировать
Мне понравилось. И я знаю, что понравится это не всем, а единицам. Первое - это конечно, что после много прекрасных работ с начала года от KBL. Еще, что это мини-дорама и смотрят ее в основном "по быстрому". Но я смотрела как всегда слишком внимательно, да плюс поднятие таких тем как проблемы с психическим здоровьем, манипуляции.... Все так близко. Понравилось выбранный зал для свадеб, прекрасные уютные кафе и выбор правильного освещения в домах под момент (когда депрессия все тускло и мрачно, когда наступает пора спокойствия - дом светел и ярок). Так же понравилось, что лекарства можно заменить милыми моментами, открываясь людям которые хотят вам помощь. Единственный маааленький минус - это как раз из-за малого времени получилось сильно сжато. Более раскрытую историю прошлого. Более понятные отношения с другом, который явно влюблен в главного героя. В остальном, прекрасно проделанная работа. Если брать Ким Кю Джона - зная его диапазон ролей, сыграл отлично. При всей моей любви к нему, я ненавидела его всей душой и хотелось просто :бип: Сон Тхэ и Дон Вон, ну этих ребят я знаю хоть и меньше Кю Джона, но рада была видеть и слышать их потрясающий вокал и очень интересные осты, текст которых наполнял живот бабочками, а сердце теплом. заключительная сцена - я взвизгнула и потом смеялась со своей реакции. Хорошо. Обязательно пересмотрю.Was this review helpful to you?
Final feliz
Tem potencial, mas por ser curto fica corrido e nem mostra muito do amigo dele por exemplo que eu adorei e queria ter visto mais! Queria que tivesse sido mais desenvolvido, fiquei com grandes expectativas. Mas num geral é bom, gostei do romance deles e principalmente da ost.Tem potencial, mas por ser curto fica corrido e nem mostra muito do amigo dele por exemplo que eu adorei e queria ter visto mais!

Die Leute aus dem Café sind auf Anhieb sympathisch gewesen! Es fühlt sich alles so freundschaftlich an, was die ganze Atmosphäre sehr angenehm macht.
Ich bin ja ein riesen Fan davon, wenn der OST von den Schauspielern gesungen wird. Das ist hier der Fall. Und die Lieder sind wirklich toll. T_T
Die Balance zwischen ernsten und lustigen Szenen hat mir ebenfalls total gut gefallen. Es war fluffy, mit einer leichten Brise Ernst. Es zeigt, wie sich Traumata entwickeln können und auch das spätere Leben beeinflussen. Natürlich hätte man hier mit längeren Episoden noch mehr Entwicklung zeigen können, aber ich mochte es auch so, wie gesagt. Auch wenn ich gegen mehr Episoden natürlich nichts einzuwenden hätte!
Ich fand die Entwicklung des Verhältnisses der Charaktere gut dargestellt und authentisch, auch wenn viele das Tempo bemängeln.
