Sweet fluffy romcom, plagued with inconsistencies...
I could've really loved this drama-- I mean, I was ALL in after I watched the 1st episode. Adorable characters, the biggest cinammon roll ML after a long while and a blooming romance I was totally looking forward to.But what started as a sweet little romantic-comedy eventually became a pile of cliches I didn't enjoy and the FL's wavering, indecisive and stupidly frustrating character was unfortunately the perpetrator of all that.
I don't like hating on FL characters and calling them the cause of all problems in a drama, but this time? I'm sorry but I can't think of any other reason why my enjoyment for this show plummeted during the 2nd half. Again, I watched the show over 3 months so maybe that could also be a huge influence. But mostly, the FL is a mother teresa/selfless-type character who made me feel like I was watching a romcom from 2010 that didn't age well. That, and all the dumb conflicts they pushed in towards the end that I could care less about.
That being said, I did like the acting from everyone in the cast. Chae Jong Hyeop was absolutely adorable, and I'm still going to wait until he's in something that I will consistently like to the end. I know Nikaido Fumi's a great actress, but the role she plays here doesn't do her acting justice and it's hard to appreciate her in this drama, although she probably gave her best into it. Their chemistry was actually really cute, in spite of the language barrier. The OST's nice, as I usually expect from J-dramas.
In conclusion, a true disappointment. I think the writing's the only thing you can blame for the downfall of this drama. Seriously, they had everything a romcom could ever need to be great-- but oh well.

golden retriever korean boyfriend, there i said it.
+Reasonable plot, no loose end-couples. Light and funny scenes. Not a lot of unnecessary lines. All of the casts are shining in their own ways, taichi nakagawa is shining in his cynical tsundere CFO character, as well all the supporting charas. Cultural differences as plot device in a natural way (yuri being confused when taeoh called her nuna, etc)-very quick timeline. The mind-reading ability is not used to the fullest (not really essential to the plot). Also i feel like Taeoh manhandled Hanaoka quiet a lot (shoving his shoulders, grabbing his hand)... there are scenes where he got bodily contact with Hanaoka and it feels so... idk maybe im overthinking. also I don't like how passive yuri was... every pivotal moments she decided to not do anything about it and making others around her do the work to nudge her to the right direction. so fucking frustrating.

It's not upto my expectations. Just Korean cliche romance.
This drama attempts to copy cliche romantic scenes in Korean shows. From the beginning I couldn't help but cringe over the story telling and presentation. I have watched few shows in which the FL starred, before. Her acting was really good in those. But, in Eye Love you, her facial expressions and reactions don't suit the scenes. From watching her scenes with Jae Jong Hyeop alone, you can say that he would have felt confused while filming, because it did confuse me as a viewer. I think, it's the cause of poor writing and the director misused Ms. Fumi's potential as an actress. I watch Japanese shows a lot. But, I have never felt confused watching a dorama, before. The plot is done poorly, although it could have done much better. The plot looks outdated to me as it attempts to copy Korean fantasy dramas we've been seeing for years. I tried to drop it many times, but decided to finish it because of the hype. The truth is that the hype is all about Jae Jong Hyeop and his chemistry with the female lead. I think they share good chemistry off the screen than on the drama. Their chemistry had an impact only at the end of the show, for me. The last episode is the best, for me, as their mutual feelings and emotions are portrayed in a deeper sense. Until then, it's a mess. You would only get to feel their chemistry in the last Ep. I've see many people praising it a lot, which is the reason why I watched it. But, there's nothing more to expect than the novelty in the presence of a Korean person as the protagonist. However, this show will definitely make you feel peaceful and somewhat calm as the atmosphere is bright and lively. Not only the FL's acting was off, but also other casts too. It's clearly because of an attempt to imitate Korean drama. There's a cultural clash that it didn't suit the Japanese culture and the traditional style of the shows there. I managed to complete it. Overall, it's not really that bad.Was this review helpful to you?
Simple and Good Story, Bad Acting
The plot is very simple: two people fall in love through food while the woman keeps a fantastical secret. There are only 10 episodes with a running time of less than 50 minutes. It's bound to be a good and short watch, a series you can easily binge. Unfortunately, what made me rate this drama low is the acting of the casts. There's just so many instances where everything is exaggerated 1000x that it diminishes its rewatch value and the drama's quality. However, if you are used to these overreactions, I think you can appreciate this drama more for its conversations.Was this review helpful to you?
Wasted Chae Jong Hyeop performance
I'm on episode 6.Caveats:
I'm fine with a sappy romance, and I know that complications are part of the deal with any rom-com. I'm also OK with fantasy thrown in. And even though CJH is doing his sweet puppy thing, I'm very OK with it!
However:
As much as I love CJH, the FL irritated me to no end. Once again, I'm left wondering why a Green Flag ML, has any interest in the FL. It's fine that she's conflicted and confused, but there has to be a sense of humor, or intelligence, or creativity, or genuine sweetness for me to believe that the ML would overlook her cold, push-me, pull-you behavior. I literally skip through her scenes, they're so tedious.
Furthermore:
I've never seen Nikaido Fumi in anything, so I don't know what she's capable of as an actor, but the character is written very badly. How can a 30 year old women (albeit a traumatized one), not be able to see that her behavior is hurtful? I get not being mature or experienced enough to be in a healthy relationship. But for someone who is so "tuned in" to other people's feelings, her treatment of the ML is rotten.
Conclusions:
I'll skip my way to the end for CJH, and the supporting actors, who I like.
I'm really frustrated with writers who think that a woman who is pretty and can cry sweetly is a fully dimensional character. As a woman, it makes me cranky.
As an enthusiastic Kdrama fan, I enjoyed hearing both Korean and Japanese in this show, and I'd like to see more crossover casting.

Não gostei tanto quanto achei que gostaria
Gostei, mas achei que gostaria bem mais, estava com as expectativas muito altas.'Eye Love You' não me prendeu no nível de me apaixonar e ansiar por mais mas também não foi do tipo que me fez sentir que perdi tempo.
O Tae Oh é um verdadeiro golden retriever que merecia até mais do que estava recebendo kkkk.
Já a Yuri senti que dava pra ser melhor, escreveram ela muito ... como posso dizer? A forma como caracterizaram a personagem foi muito infantil para a mulher de negócios que ela era, suas atitudes eram bem "não me toca que sou uma bonequinha" "sou fraca e indefesa" quando ela falava só com um fio de voz me dava raiva.
Compreendo que ela foi rejeitada uma vez na adolescência por causa de seu poder e isso a deixou insegura, mas como assim sua versão com 30 anos está praticamente igual sua versão adolescente nos questionamentos? Nada mudou com o passar dos anos?
E o que foi aquilo de todo mundo se intrometer no relacionamento deles por causa de um diacho de um livro infantil?
Um drama com momentos fofos e uma premissa interessante, mas na forma como foi desenvolvida simplesmente não ficou tão bom quanto deveria.

CARINO MA...
Fino all'ottava puntata ero convinta che quesra serie si meritasse un 8 e mezzo. Storia carina, semplice, niente drammi, niente sussulti, un antagonista maschile migliore del protagonista...ma cosa è successo nella nona puntata da farmi decidere per un voto più basso? Come scritto da tanti commentatori sull'app, la motivazione assurda per cui ML e FL si debbano lasciare: siccome un'altra donna sente i pensieri degli altri come FL e il suo ragazzo è morto, allora CERTAMENTE anche ML morirà se continua a stare con FL. Su quali basi? Non si sa; solo perché lo dice l'altra tizia, che é convinta della correlazione tra potere e morte dell'amato. Bastava una spiegazione, anche favolistica, e lo avremmo accettato, tanto di favolistico c'è molto in questa serie. E invece no, niente.Peccato, perché come serie strappa diversi sorrisi (non risate, ma sorrisi sí).
Comunque va vista anche solo per l'antagonista maschile...

Omoinotake roubou a cena
Eu já ia falar horrores do final, mas muito fofo!!O drama é muito bom de assistir pra você passar o tempo, a música principal é uma delícia, fiquei muito viciada nela, o casal é fofo com o hyeop então, amo ele demais. Até o triângulo amoroso que não teve, a construção dos personagens, o hanaoka é um fofo, a mahifo é muito engraçada, me divertida com ela e o amigo do tae o. É um drama bem leve e mistura um pouco de fantasia também por causa dos poderes dela. Gostei bastante

Un dramma un po' fantasy su sfondo commedia romantica divertente e piacevole.
Lei è un po' strana e stralunata spesso esagerata lui un po' impacciato ma tanto carino e la storia un po' lenta però comunque risulta abbastanza piacevole da vedere.
Nel complesso l'ho trovato un bel dramma niente di speciale e con il giusto finale.
