Heart Fluttering

Oh my goodness!

I am already enamored with the first two episodes.

The acting, storyline, execution, and cinematography are all exceptionally well done.

I am particularly drawn to the character of Ju Yeong, who is intelligent, cheerful, and straightforward.

Do Hoe is also commendable in his ability to control his emotions, even when he is happy. He portrays the character's fear very well...

As for Jang Yeon Woo, his character is not as developed yet, but I am optimistic that he will become more prominent in the upcoming episodes..

First two episodes were great

(This review was written after watching the first two episodes only. I am a little disappointed after watching episodes 3 & 4)

One of the best Korean BLs so far.
I feel like I’ve been hit by a train, my emotions are going haywire 😨 I was laughing, crying, or enraged every other scene

Ju Yeong’s bruises were shown and my stomach fell, I just started crying because he was smiling and laughing the whole time enduring the pain, and was planning to say anything. I'm curious and want a deeper exploration of his family life and Taekwondo's role. Is the mistreatment and poor conditions worth it?

How could you beat up a kid like that much more than someone else’s child like that wtf 🤬 And most of the kids in that neighborhood have been beaten by him before and nothing can be done about it?! I had to pause and sit in silence.

I can’t imagine what Do Hoe experienced for years living with him alone after his mom left, as well as the violent bullying from his classmates. Which I peeped the gay panic (14:38)

By the end I was LMAO because of their awkwardness but determination to have a proper kiss I think they’ll stay warm in the cold😂 They are so pure and my heart aches for them 🥺

I think this is just the beginning of injuries Ju Yeong will attain and with Savior Complex he’s gonna accumulate more until they can’t be hidden anymore or become detrimental to his health. His silence, and the lying about his injuries on top of to Do Hoe’s guilt because of his father will take a toll on their newly budding romance.

Montanha russa de emoções

Fico impressionada como conseguem te envolver tanto a ponto de sentir as emoções junto com os personagens. Você se apaixona pelo primeiro amor deles, a felicidade e inocência. Depois sofre com a separação, chora pela perda do relacionamento lindo deles. No reencontro sente uma confusão, a felicidade de terem se encontrado, mas a confusão pelo tratamento frio do Doehe e das palavras não ditas. Aí vem a reconciliação, eles voltam juntos, mas a sensação de vazio permanece, como se mesmo juntos, um muro entre eles permanece, não são mais os mesmos e o relacionamento também. Finamente chega à parte que o Doehe desenterra o seu passado e se liberta dele. Sinceramente fiquei muito incomodada como ele tratava o outro, mesmo entendo seus motivos. Por orgulho e culpa, tentando se provar para o pai e todos que ele podia ter sucesso, mas mesmo conseguindo isso não era feliz, por viver uma mentira e ser assombrado pelo passado. Achei interessante também o amigo dele, antes im0plicava por gostar dele e não entender seus sentimentos, mas passa os anos o apoiando e ao seu lado. Se não fosse pelo sol do Ju Young a vida dele seria sombria, tanto como no passado como no presente, ele chegou trazendo esperança de um futuro melhor e feliz. Mesmo com raiva do Doehe fiquei feliz quando ele conseguiu lidar com suas questões e mentiras, o final é simplesmente um dos melhores, um final simplesmente deles sendo felizes juntos e sendo família. Vou manter esse bl no coração por muito tempo, cheio de camadas e emoções. E QUE ATUAÇÕES MARAVILHOSAS

gostei mas por diversas vezes achei confuso

Eu não achei ruim mas esperava mais, algo mais emocionante achei a história por diversas vezes confusa e muito escura as cenas sendo difícil de entender o que estava acontecendo, mas óbvio que da para perceber que não é uma história qualquer e está no nível das outras histórias feitas por essa diretora, as atuações achei boas, nada a reclamar em relação a isso, mas de modo geral acho que pecou na sensação de confusão talvez a edição não tenha sido muito boa.

Briser le cycle de la violence

Ce drama m'a amené beaucoup de questionnement. Même si la romance est au centre de l'intrigue, je trouve que la thématique principal reste la gestion du trauma et le cycle de la violence que cela peut engendrer. Est ce qu'il vaut mieux faire table rase du passé, tout oublier des moments les plus durs de notre vie ? Est ce qu'on est toujours soit même si on renie d'ou l'on vient ? A rajouter à ça un peu de lutte des classes, des acteurs très bon vraiment un des meilleurs drama que j'ai vu

Actores supremos, guión mejorable

Acabado este bl que podría haber sido, según mi opinión otra joya de los bl coreanos pero se ha quedado en algo a medio camino. Lo que me ha gustado: la química entre la pareja principal, las actuaciones de todos los actores, la música maravillosa, el final feliz, la sanación y redención de los errores pasados, el tono más realista que otros bl.

Lo que no me ha gustado: la narración y la construcción del guión, las conversaciones que se me hacían crípticas (alguien ha entendido la conversación por teléfono del abogado con el protagonista?) , los interrogantes sin resolver (en el fondo no se ha explicado bien porque la pareja se separó, el tema de la llamada a la polícía, la separación, la suplantación como profesor? , lo de la academia está confuso también, todo el tema de suspender el examen de la universidad se explica de forma nefasta, los flashbacks son confusos, el ir y venir del pasado al presente hace que el espectador se pierda , supongo que la complejidad del personaje principal requería más minutos más capítulos . A veces he pensado que era un tema de los subtítulos en castellano pero también he seguido con mis interrogantes al cambiar los subtítulos a inglés, es como si la directora hubiera querido explicarse mal expresamente, pero eso a mi me saca de la historia, a mi me gustan las historias bien explicadas las disfruto más y me ha dado pena que no me gustase porque ellos son una monada y actúan muy bien. No la volvería a ver.

Boa construção

eu me questionei muito sobre o plot ao passar do meio da história pro final, mas o autor conseguiu administrar bem os conflitos e trazer um final mais que satisfátorio, ainda fico meio duvidoso sobre algumas tomadas de iniciativa e motivações dos personagens, alem de escolhas estranhas para desenvolver alguns conflitos, mas tudo se encaixou, mesmo que fique confuso a narrativa em muitos momentos kkkk Mas é uma boa hiostória, te prende bem e muito original, gostaria de mais ep para desenvolver esse plot, eu vejo facilmente ele como um drama longo que requer mais tempo para conseguir contar o andar, mas ja surpreende com o pouco que teve, muito bom ver como os Bl´s coreanos vem ganhando mais carinho e espaço, um dos melhores do ano.

chemestry on spot

Cinematografia molto bella, soprattutto quella ambientata nella campagna coreana. Gli attori impeccabili, hanno saputo trasmettere molto accuratamente le emozioni dei personaggi. Con il salto temporale di 12 anni sono arrivati anche i problemi e un'atmosfera in generale più malinconica, ma che si è conclusa con quella iniziale. In conclusione penso che sia un capolavoro e che i coreani stiano sempre migliorando.

в любимые и на пересмотр

В этот раз буду очень кратка: В Любимые.
Очень мудрая и тяжелая дорама. Наревелась, пол дорамы злилась на гг, в конце в нем увидела себя. хорошо, что и у гг и у меня ХЭ. Только Корея может делать такие уникальные мудрые вещи, где все гармонично и прекрасно.

Rompedora

Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo es una de estas series que coge tu corazón y lo destroza en tantos pedacitos que ya no puedes volver a reconstruirlo.

Con unos personajes complejos, profundamente humanos, que demuestran cuán fácil todo puede ir por el camino equivocado en la vida y qué consecuencias esto tiene.

Tanto Nurim como Seon son grandes actores y sus personajes son creíbles, incomprensibles a ratos, llenos de aristas y poliédricos.

Juyeong es una green flag, pero tremenda dependencia emocional...

Quiero más, la verdad.

Another masterpiece of Hwang DaSeul

This drama is so well written, directed and acted. Hwang Daseul surprising us and delivering deep stories with complex and adorable characters.

I must also highlight the excellent performance of Lee Seon, in his first drama. Kim Nu Rim also stood out a lot in his first role as the protagonist, showing how much potential he has. Nu Rim and Lee Seon delivered such a great chemistry, charisma and outstanding performance.

I hope that many people can see this series that transcends the romance, which touches us and excites us, and makes us eager to look forward to the next episodes.

Congratulations to everyone involved in this series. You have created another beautiful masterpiece!

Bleibt im Gedächtnis

... und wenn nicht, auf jeden Fall zum wieder anschauen geeignet. Super Schauspieler, tolle Emotionen., super Chemie zwischen allen Schauspielern. Sozialkritik am koreanischen Bildungsdruck seitens der Eltern kommt auch nicht zu kurz .Ich war so verloren nach der 4. Folge... Kopfschüttelnd saß ich da. Folge 6 war schon eine Gefühlsachterbahn. Ich denke, es wird eine der BESTEN BL Serien von 2024.
