Jazz for Two (2024)

This is like Given but by South Korea

I will be very very short. This was giving me a very Given-ish vibe all through, I absolutely loved Given. And I like this too. Very nice cinematography, well chosen cast, nice music. But the actual plot, however nice, is very much undeveloped. Like This could have been a whole 12 episode series with 1 hour each and I would not have minded, but with such a short span and underdeveloped characters is what miffed me a lot.

Idk if there is any chance to remake this with more details, because this has potential, for all three couples (including the older bros) to show more.

Flat. Couldve been so much better.

Went in with decent-good expectations as JFT had fairly high traction when it aired and I watched months after but that was my first mistake.

I’m all for a good simple plot but this drama was just very flat. For a good portion of the drama, it was just angst with minimal plot development.

2 of the ML are just mad for majority of the show and then 180 which I found funny.

One thing I really enjoyed and that is the music selection - the instrumental pieces fit the atmosphere really well and overall made me enjoy the drama a lot more.

Casting and cinematography is also done really well ; gorgeous actors with the visually appealing scenes almost makes up for the lack of plot depth.

Was surprised to discover Song Hangyeom (Seo Doyoon) was an idol as I found his acting really good (and I found him so goddamn handsome).

For what its worth, team did their best with what they had to work with. Solid drama for sure

Music to the heart

This is a sort series that mad a big impact on Jazz... for two. We can all relate to loss, but something about how they leave us makes it even worst. This story unfortunately has one of the worst ways. However, I like how they handled the situation, making it seem real, how the persons left behind deal with the loss. Even worst is when someone reminds us of what we lost.

The most wonderful thing is finding that one person that can remind you of what you lost but still find happiness in the new things they offer. It was fun and flirty to see the first meeting, to the first piano session, they had ups, downs and confusion. I honestly loved how they made him confused because his lost prevented him from understanding it. It was a healthy situation that they handled well and the romance that followed was organic. I am very happy to see the older brother step up and take responsibility for his actions, though nothing was his fault, he ensured that his little brother didn't have the same faith that he did. He has my respect.

Loved this series, So if there is a part two, I'm here for it.

Not Really The Best One!

I was really excited for this drama. I thought that it had potential. But after watching it, I don't feel that anymore. With this cast, the drama could be made better. Acting was okay but not par excellence. The friendship between taeyi and doyoon coud be portrayed in more depth. But it was not so. Doyoon and Juha's relationship deserved more screentime but they didn't get so. I was disappointed that even till the end of the drama, taeyi and the other guy got screentime. The friendship between the four could be portrayed better and in depth. Overall, its good to watch once.

Endearing story about loss, grief and letting go.

Very lovely story and I enjoyed the actors immensely. The cinematography was lovely and the sound of the cicadas made me giggle. They reminded me a lot of the ones played in Japanese dramas. The faces the protagonists made when playing music was so passionate I could feel it. Ultimately it reminded me of how situations we may not address in the present tend to be fated to come back again in the future. How one brother ignored his love and it ended in the suicide of the object of his affection only to see his younger brother weighed down by that very same mistake was incredibly fascinating to me. The way they were brought together through the music of someone else’s love was so heartwarming. This is true for the second couple as well. Love and forgiveness brought them together it showed compassion and grace. However the series does suffer from a few pitfalls. It was too short and could have used at least another two or three episodes. I would have loved to see the situation with the sister resolved, she came off as a good person caught in between several destinies but I suppose life is like that sometimes.

I actually liked this one.

After watching this ,it makes me wants to also listen to some jazz.
also the audio is so good that I kept wondering if it was dubbed because it's literally so intact and idk where they got
that boom mic but it is so good.
the performance at the is so good at had to close my eyes and vibe to it
give this a solid 9.

han taeyi at the first 5 eps is a total jerk plus he doesn't wanna give reasons, but yk I get it
that you don't have to give reasons to a
total stranger from the start ,but why are you so aggressive?

it's good thing that juhee didn't do anything bad in the story and she just goes on with her life.

what I like about seoheon is that he keeps trying to talk to taeyi to understand him better than ignoring him ,if he actually ignored him and stayed away this whole plot is probably nothing.

do-yoon my fav.♥️

ALMOST GOT A STANDING OVATION

The plot is nice, intricate and somewhat logical. You might think it's not logical at all, but when you place yourself in the characters' shoes, you'll know why they at the way they did. Still, plot holes and cliches are still there.
For the acting, however, it's not good when the main character can't cry. Taehi didn't shed any real tears in the movies, thus, I can't feel him. The other actors did great on their parts.
The camera work on this series is very basic, it did its job, but didn't not stand out.
Overall, i'm impressed by how the story is planned out and organized. I would recommend every bl fan friend of mind to watch this.

conductas abusivas

me gustó y me quedé esperando más de la pareja secundaria en vez de la primaria...
la historia se ve que es buena pero NO FUE BIEN DESARROLLADA. es como que, al ser pocos episodios, hubieran querido meter todo a las patadas. Taeyi abusa de Seheon al meter sus manos bajo su remera y tocarlo sin consentimiento y a la vez humillarlo verbalmente, para a continuación Taeyi ser perdonado como si no hubiese sido nada del otro mundo. no tan solo no refleja lo realmente abusivo y grave que fue eso, sino que ni siquiera fue totalmente consciente sobre sus actos, sus disculpas fueron vacías y ligeras.
si bien Jooha golpeó a Doyoon en el pasado, puedo entenderlo. considero que se reflejó bien el tipo de dolor y trauma de Jooha: el sentirse más seguro a su zona de confort, aquel sentimiento de soledad y de ser ignorado al que acostumbra y sentirse en alerta porque, finalmente, alguien genuinamente se acerca e interesa en él, entonces intenta alejarlo porque no puede aceptar que eso suceda. aún si estuvo mal todo lo que hizo, el abuso de Taeyi contra Seheon me pareció más traumático y no fue tratado como debió de serlo.
finalmente, creo que Seheon fue tan acosado y abusado por parte de Jooha y Taeyi que me parece increíble que no se haya visto realmente "tocado" ni un poco por eso.

It was OKAY

I was expecting more tbh. I was really hooked in the first 2 episodes but idk after that my expectations kinda keep going down. First of all, I didn't like the SA like fucking at all. It is gross. We should never tolerate this tbh. I was literally so uncomfortable by the way they did THAT. Also the harassement. I don't like bullyxvictim. The second lead couple was literally this. Also so much unimportant scenes and characters. The bully's sister was really a useless addition. The bully hates Tae yi just because his sister likes him. Just that nothing else. I thought that there was something more deep going on there but nah. It just made Joo Ha look pathetic. Also the main problem with KBL is always time, idk why. This had good enough run time tbh but they still couldn't use the limited time properly. KBL should learn a thing or two from Japan. Everything was shifting way too fast. Tae yi and Se heon relationship went from strangling each other to besties holding hands to strangling each other again and then to lovi dovey lovers all in just a span of 1 day. Really need a lot of time for this drama tbh. 1 hour and 16 episode kind. KBL really need to stop adapting these webtoon with 2 couples cause they can barely handle 1. But this series is still better than this company's last production. I would say that. Acting was okay, Not the best but also not bad. The ost were okay. I would say the thing I admire about this was the kiss, I though i would be left disappointed with those blur kisses and peck kisses but they actually kiss for real in the last episode with lips moving and all. So I would praise them for that since it is very rare in KBL, Overall, its okay, not anything special. I was expected more but atleast it wasn't below my expectations.
