best 2024 friends zone to lover, slice of life vibes
heartwarming, blooming in kind of way, no up and down, characters are not toxic and stable, they have their own stand points which bring out the good characters between their personalities (I guess the MBTI plays a big part in this plot)throughout the story, Jung Hae In and Jung So Min never disappoints, they sure delivered! they did such a great job while bringing out the best of both sides of stories, I praise them for that. Director has got vissionaire that helps run the story smoothly (which made me finish the whole series in one day)
the pictures/scenery are really nice, I enjoy all the pictures frame and colors working in different scenes a lot
well done š

The trailer is thrilling, what went wrong?
I saw trailer some times ago and I was looking forward to this movie, it was thrilling, giving excitement, the base story has potential that could be great. I walked into the cinema today, many people were taking lots and lots of pictures with the poster, I canāt help but ended up having high hope but then I fell out of the horses.Throughout the story, I felt more of the slice-of-life type of movie which it was not I expected, it didnāt give me any thrill, slow pace running the story got me distractedā¦ it didnāt hit the spot, it was just not there, could it be better? I donāt know
I wonāt talk about the acting here since it seems like ML have strong fan base š Iām scared. I looked him up and I realized heās 97ās line and a friend of EunWoo and JungKook.
overall, the last line was āthat grandfather is not meā to confirm that this is not a romance movie, cliche š

Typical Old K-drama
typical old kdrama, she fell for the one who gave her the least attention and being mean to her. aka Boys over flowers and Youāre beautiful.Hye-ji character makes me very uncomfortable throughout the seriesā¦
Chemistry between Hawon and HyunMin were gold, I shipped them so hard even tho I know that itās gonna be JiYoon but there I hoped. I dropped it later after I guessed thatās itās gonna JiYoon who donate the organ to his grandfather, thatās not the only reason but also I could guess most of the plot after ep9 so I skipped and watch the last episode.
starts good but then mehā¦

Beyond Expectations, Forget the bad reviews!
Fist of all I couldnāt stand episode 3-5, it was unbearable! but since this is a romantic drama about love, self-discovery, and healing. I found it really relatable, especially with how the FL grows throughout the story. That said, I couldnāt help but get frustrated with some of her choices after the breakupāshe did some embarrassing things DANM! it was frustrating. But I was glad to see her pick herself up and realize her ex wasnāt worth her time. Yoo In-na did an amazing job capturing that journey of self-love and personal growth.The acting was definitely a highlight. Both Yoo In-na and Yoon Hyun-min brought so much depth to both characters, Yoo In-na really showing both her vulnerabilities and growth. The supporting cast also did a great job, making the whole thing feel grounded and real.
The music was fine, but it didnāt really stand out or leave a lasting impact. As for rewatch value, I donāt think Iād come back to it often. The plot is a bit predictable, and I donāt think it would hold up on a second watch, but there are still a few emotional moments that might pull me back.
The ending, however, felt pretty clichĆ©, which took away a bit from the emotional payoff. Overall, itās a solid watch with strong performances, but not for everyone. If youāre into character-driven stories and emotional growth, itās definitely worth checking out.

my new favorite FL character, so bright
i watched because of Bae In Hyuk but ended up rooting for 2ML.. poor me šitās been very funny and I laughed throughout the 11ep
only 2 complaints: I really donāt like the choosing one person over someone as in my opinion, FL has strong personality and bold I wish they would write her off not choosing anyone at all and continue loving the cheers. most annoying of all: they fall in love too fast (ep2 I think) very annoying indeed.
Love triangle in kdrama really is annoying sometimes. but I think this is the first one that FL and 2ML kissed each other before ML š I shipped them so hard ahhhh

the chemistry between FL and ML is great but a little too childish like for me
i gave 6/10 for story and itās from the soul shifter and the 4 great houses story. the romance didnāt hit the spot, itās just not there for me. Iām not into that kind of behavior of MLNaksu/Mudeok is basically mothering her lover which I kinda dislike that he put her on that spot (annoying)
acting and casting is 10/10 Lee Jae Wook kinda delivered, he is great even though his character Jang Uk is not my favorite but Lee JaeWook is a great actor, ngl. Jung So Min is an underrated actress, I watched all of her works, I love her unique style and cuteness and seeing her playing Naksu/Mudeok is amazing, she did such a well done! I wish she has more series coming. Min Hyun being Yul is suitable for him, heās giving such a warm type and I feel sad for him but if he wants the girl he should step up to the game, that kind of unrequited love only exists in drama š it doesnāt work that way in real life! he keeps quiet but also being high alerts on duty, such a character. sad.
I was rooting for Jang Uk to grow up and he did after a season, so to season 2.
nothing to say more I guess

why so many bad reviews?
strangly, so many hateful comments and reviews towards FL. who have we become? i really enjoy the character growth in this SS2 childish Uky has grown up and I really fall in love, Go Youn Jung portray Ā«Ā one sided loveĀ Ā» very well.so where all the hate reviews coming from?
The story is reset and restart, itās fresh delivered for the new FL. she is cute and did the new Naksu character very well. imagine Naksu without a revenge? she would think ordinary, falling in love like an ordinary person and Go Youn Jung delivers. I donāt get bored watching her at all, sheās geogous!
Jang Uk in this season is mature, I was very annoyed in SS1 because he acted like a baby all the time. so Iām glad to see the character development after the Ā«Ā losingĀ Ā» experience.
Love it š
