À la poursuite d'octobre rose
Vous m'excuserez l'analogie mais je n'ai pas pu m'en empêcher... j'ai trouvé ce drama vraiment très sympathique et bien qu'il présente beaucoup de schémas hyper connus, vous verrez qu'il a su sortir des sentiers battus.L'histoire :
Pyo Na Ri est une présentatrice météo sur la chaîne SBC, elle travaille en tant que contractuelle et doit se battre pour garder son emploi, elle vie seule avec son jeune bachelier de frère, Pyo Chi Yeol mais bien entourée par ses voisins qui sont tout comme sa famille. Notre héroïne est amoureuse depuis plusieurs années de l'arrogant et macho présentateur vedette Lee Hwa Sin qui, lui, ne lui accorde pas la moindre attention.
Pyo Na Ri retrouve ce dernier en Thaïlande, où il se trouve détaché depuis trois ans, pour les besoins d'un tournage et, dans des circonstances particulières, elle décèle un potentiel problème au niveau de la poitrine de celui-ci. Dans le même temps, elle fait la connaissance du meilleur ami de Lee Hwa Sin : Go Jeong Won, un séduisant chef d'entreprise pour lequel elle va vite craquer.
Avec ce résumé, on voit tout de suite le triangle amoureux se profiler mais vous n'aurez pas droit à un, ni deux, mais trois triangles amoureux dans ce drama! Ainsi qu'un triangle que je qualifierais d' « amour familial ». Toutes ces intrigues sont bien menées même si le triangle principal est plus développé que les autres bien sûr, mais on n'oublie personne dans ce drama et c'est ce qui m'a beaucoup plu.
Les personnages :
Alors ici, non seulement il y a beaucoup de personnages qui comptent dans l'histoire, hors les personnages principaux, mais en plus on a droit à un casting de ouf selon moi. On commence tout d'abord avec Pyo Na Ri qui est jouée par l'excellente Kong Hyo Jin que j'avais déjà adorée dans It's Okay, It's Love puis que j'avais aussi croisée dans Master's Sun. J'ai été très heureuse de revoir son jeu qu'elle sait assumer, elle présente un personnage qui a ses faiblesses, qui relève ses épreuves, pas comme une super héroïne mais comme une femme qui sait être déterminée quand il le faut même si elle est également vulnérable.
Ensuite, j'étais également très content.e de revoir Cho Jung Seok qui joue le rôle de Lee Hwa Sin, il sait toujours aussi bien jouer les rôles de mecs hautains et arrogants qui deviennent adorables par la suite (enfin dès qu'il se met à sourire, quoi) et en plus, avec lui, vous êtes sûrs d'avoir droit à des scènes de baisers mémorables, et j'avoue que je n'ai pas été déçu.e!!!
Il faut aussi parler de notre dernier côté du triangle amoureux avec Ko Kyoung Pyo que je connaissais avec Strongest Deliveryman. Ici, ce qui m'a le plus surpris c'est de voir que les deux dramas que j'ai vu n'ont qu'un an d'écart et celui dont nous parlons s'est fait avant Strongest Deliveryman et pourtant j'ai eu l'impression qu'il avait 5 ans de plus. Comme quoi, il sait aussi bien jouer le jeune coursier un peu déluré que le grand businessman sûr de lui. Mais toujours charmeur dans les deux cas.
Enfin, énormément de seconds rôles sont très importants dans l'histoire, car vous le verrez, plein d'histoires s'entremêlent autour de nos héros et si je devais écrire sur chacun d'entre eux ça prendrait des pages. Mais je n'ai pas vu de rôles mal joués ni complètement inutiles et c'est vraiment un point très positif.
La réalisation :
Tout d'abord, je veux appuyer ici le fait qu'on a droit à un vrai triangle amoureux et ce n'est pas souvent le cas, les deux hommes sont meilleurs amis et sont vraiment des amoureux éperdus de l'héroïne qui elle les aime en retour TOUS les 2! C'est vraiment comme dans la définition du triangle amoureux et en cela déjà le drama sort des sentiers battus car habituellement, il y a toujours un des critères qui est manquants ou un tant soit peu différent.
De plus, il y a beaucoup de scènes drôles mais aussi déchirantes avec tour à tour les romances ou la bromance de nos héros. Ils se hurlent dessus en colère mais ils continuent à se dire qu'ils s'aiment et c'est à la fois déstabilisant, drôle et poignant ( voir « l'épisode des poulpes », c'est ultime d'après moi) et là également j'avoue ne jamais avoir vu pareille mise en scène ailleurs.
Enfin, le drama traite de thèmes sérieux, douloureux et même tabous que ce soit dans la société coréenne comme ailleurs. L'histoire aborde un sujet difficilement exprimé et exprimable autour du cancer et va jusqu'à discuter sur la condition de l'homme, pas en tant qu'espèce mais en tant que sexe. Il débat sur qui fait d'un homme, un homme. Mais également, qu'est-ce qui fait d'une mère, une mère ou encore comment se définit une famille.
Toutes ces thématiques sont incluses également dans le monde de la représentation télévisuelle où chaque identité est décortiquée sous toutes les coutures et où il faut savoir rentrer dans le moule et ne pas faire de vagues sous peine de s'en faire évacuer vitesse grand V.
En définitive, j'avais peur que 24 épisodes me paraissent long mais les réalisateurs et scénaristes ont réussi à nous faire passer d'une scène, d'une problématique à l'autre avec une facilité telle, et bien sûr aidés par un très bon casting, que je n'ai pas vu le temps passer. Jamais je ne me suis ennuyé.e ni n'ai trouvé qu'il y avait des longueurs.
Petit bonus pour les scènettes animées en fin d'épisodes qui sont rigolotes.
Maintenant, à vous de vous faire votre avis.

Yes to more dramas like this. Yes to realistic and relatable characters, yes to engaging and well thought out plots, and yes to tackling real-life issues. Taking on male breast cancer was massive, and I appreciate the drama writers willingness to go there. Pyo Na Ri was this fascinating combination of confident, vulnerable, honest, bold, and self-aware. Hwa Shin and Jung Won were two fascinating love interests with a heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking, friendship. The make-up of this drama is almost flawless.I only have 3 complaints.
1) The three-way cohabitation nonsense that comes a little past the halfway mark (three-way not to be confused with the sexual term).
2) The kiss at the hospital between Na Ri and Hwa Shin when Na Ri and Jung Won are tentatively dating.
3) That silly song/dance at the wedding in the finale.
The first two are important. The last one isn't a big deal. (I just thought the scene was hilariously stupid.)
The cohabitation is never really justified by the writers and lasts waaaay longer than necessary, but the kiss is addressed as being a very poor and inappropriate decision that has consequences. Unfortunately, the character's responses to the kiss is to create said, weird, three-way cohabitation arrangement that is just awkward and uncomfortable and annoying to watch. (I recommend finding a unique way to watch those episodes to ensure you don't go nuts.)
Even in these frustrating moments when you don't really understand what exactly the writers think they are doing though, they found a way to make these characters feel real and believable, like people you want to root for.
I recommend this drama, and I might even rewatch it some day.

WRONG.
Thanks to the top review here about this drama being messy in a good way, I decided to give this a shot. And I'm so glad I did or I would have missed out on this wonderful piece of work.
Yes, you have the typical tropes of someone getting cancer, a rich chaebol's mother playing dirty to ruin her son's middle class girlfriend, rich mother offering a girl money to leave her son, a female lead being caught between two men, etc. But instead of these being the source of draggy-ness, what the scriptwriters gave us was this whole feels trip of "oh, typical trope appears, sigh" and "holy crap did this really just solve the problem?!?!" within 1-2 episodes of each other. The drama is filled with unexpected (and hilarious) resolutions to things, and the fact that all the lead characters are mature adults who make reasonable choices makes it so much better than your typical rom com.
The flashback way of presenting new information also fits perfectly in terms of helping the audience understand what happened that led to the characters making these decisions (without being confusing or repetitive). The emotions also flow very well because of this style.
Let's talk about the two male leads. Second male lead is pretty much a perfect man, but second male lead syndrome didn't happen for me. We see very clearly how *despite the second male lead is, on paper, so much better than the first male lead,* the female lead struggles in between them. We see very early on how the first male lead is flawed -- but he is flawed not in the jerk-y manner, but instead in a way that we can't help but love. So by midway I was rooting 100% for the first male lead (and this says a lot because I'm a chronic warm/nice second male lead syndrome patient). The scriptwriter gave all our lead characters -- as well as the supporting characters -- multidimensional personalities and growth lines. Character development in this drama was superb -- both romantically and professionally. The 24-episode format, and the fact that the script doesn't waste time on unnecessary trope-dwelling, gave the writers time to do that.
The word "jealousy" makes a beautiful appearance in the drama, over and over again. It underlies the answer to one of the biggest questions in the drama. Also, you will not only see one love triangle, but (at least) three -- and a lot of the characters' choices are indeed made based on jealousy. However, the relationships aren't really messy in a bad way (again, 24-episode format helped give things more time to develop) and how things get resolved is also super worth looking forward to.
Now to comment on the acting-- both Jo Jung-suk and Gong Hyo-jin are extremely seasoned actors in the industry, and they really brought the lead characters to life. Second male lead Go Kyung-pyo may be young compared to the two leads, but his mature acting gave perfect chemistry to his relationship with the female lead (11 years older) as well as his bromance with the male lead (10 years older). The casting of other characters is also perfect -- Park Jin-joo (Nurse Oh) is legit best supporting cast in all the dramas she's in! I also especially love Seo Ji-hye (announcer Hong Hye-won). This is my third drama of hers (Crash Landing On You, Dinner Mate, now this), and every time I see her on the screen she is a completely different character. Her character here is super cool -- I thought she'd be a typical second female lead who plays dirty (again, typical rom com expectation), but the way she handled things is so lovable. It's just a shame how she never got any screen time with our Kim Jung-hyun (who plays female lead's younger brother) -- Crash Landing On You fans would understand why this is sad.
Kind reminder to stay for the epilogues in ep 16 and 22 -- you won't regret it :) The high rewatch value is for the comedic scenes and for the epilogues omg I can't get over ep 22~~

Rom-Com che offre molto di più…
Se impazzite per i triangoli amorosi, lanciatevi subito a guardare questa serie!Ho temporeggiato e temporeggiato nel vederlo per via del cast che non mi convinceva, ma devo dire di essermi ricreduta completamente.
Fidatevi, è un must watch!
Trama: non mi aspettavo tanto spessore in una serie rom-com, eppure ci sono tante tematiche importanti trattate sapientemente: il tumore al seno negli uomini; i pregiudizi nel mondo del lavoro per quanto riguarda le donne in generale, ma anche in riferimento a professioni considerate un gradino più basso rispetto ad altre; la concezione della malattia che diventa debilitante anche e soprattutto a livello sociale e professionale, tanto da essere costretti a nasconderla… e potrei andare avanti, perché tra le righe si scopre molto altro.
Il tutto bilanciando la parte comunque gioiosa e spensierata tipica delle commedie romantiche.
È quindi solo un triangolo amoroso?
Certo, occupa gran parte della vicenda, ma senza mai oscurare le tematiche di cui ho parlato sopra.
Ad ogni modo anche questa parte della trama, più romantica, è stata spettacolare ed emozionante come non mai.
E non dimentichiamo la commedia: i momenti di ilarità sono quasi sempre presenti quando si tratta delle dinamiche familiari, davvero spassose e mai banali.
Recitazione: che dire, non conoscevo molto i principali attori maschili, e in verità di primo acchito non mi avevano fatto chissà che impressione.
Eh, mai giudicare un libro dalla sua copertina.
Dico solo, fantastici.
Entrambi hanno interpretato i loro personaggi nei migliori dei modi, rendendo più che evidenti le loro diversità, senza mai risultati noiosi.
Il fatto che poi tra loro vi sia un’amicizia come poche ha reso il tutto ancora più interessante, perché ha ripulito le dinamiche dai soliti cliché di scontri e battibecchi senza senso.
Personalmente ho gradito molto il loro rapporto, fatto di dialoghi onesti e senza tanti giri di parole.
Conoscevo poi l’attrice Gong Hyo Jin e sapevo che non mi avrebbe delusa.
È un ruolo che le è calzato a pennello, anche se devo dire che alla fine ho avuto l’impressione che le mancasse un po’ quella “passione” e “necessità” che ho ritrovato invece nei personaggi maschili durante il corteggiamento.
Complicità protagonisti: eccezionale!
Il più delle volte succede che la coppia principale ruba la scena e il triangolo vada a perdersi quasi subito, così come l’intensità dell’’interazioni.
Qui non succede affatto!
Fino alla fine la protagonista ha una complicità assurda con entrambi e nessuno sembra prevale sull’altro: davvero un sali e scendi di emozioni.
Emozioni: credo che sia una delle serie a tema triangolo che mi ha fatto più emozionare. Ad ogni episodio la tensione è alle stelle, non ci si annoia mai e il cuore batte a mille.
Musiche: la scelta di alcune musiche durante le parti comiche mi ha fatto morire dal ridere; quelle romantiche accompagnavano le scene in maniera sublime.
Love triangle: uno dei migliori triangoli amorosi che abbia mai visto.
Davvero sono rimasta senza parole dall’intensità, fino alle ultime battute.
Di solito le interazioni e le dinamiche alla lunga risultavano noiose oppure si perdevano nel momento in cui la protagonista faceva la sua scelta.
Cosa insolita che ho apprezzato tantissimo è il non prevalere di un rapporto sull’altro.
Nella maggior parte dei casi la coppia principale occupa più della metà delle scene, in questa serie invece il protagonista secondario (che, ahimè, sappiamo non vincerà mai) ha il suo spazio quasi fino alla fine.
Avviso: second lead syndrome assicurata!
Skinship: non è presente in maniera eccessiva, ma ci sono baci, abbracci e la tensione tra i protagonisti amplifica il tutto.
Per dire, non mi sono mai emozionata così tanto in una rom-com.
Ending: a mio avviso il tasto dolente.
Gli ultimi due episodi mi hanno un po’ delusa, perdendo un po’ il pathos che avevo ritrovato per tutta la serie.
Happy ending assicurato, ma mi è mancata quella soddisfazione finale dopo tutto un percorso.
E naturalmente la second lead syndrome aveva già preso il sopravvento. XD
Nel complesso, la serie vale davvero molto… se siete fan di love triangle, ma anche se cercate qualcosa che unisce elementi seri a quelli più spensierati e che vi faccia emozionare e battere il cuore con il suo romanticismo, è quello che fa per voi.

Where to begin? When I discovered this drama almost 2 yrs ago, I wasn't expecting how much I would grow to love this drama. I fell in love with it and still in love with it. I've watched this more than 5x and I never get tired of it. It just has all the feels. The love triangle here was the best. Hands-down best love triangle out of all the dramas I've watched. It's just so hard to choose between these 2 oh so different male leads. Lee Hwa Shin (Jo Jung Suk) was the stubborn/cocky hard-hitting reporter but do everything-for-love type from picking up Pyo Na Ri using the station's chopper to admitting to the entire nation about his illness. Then Ko Jung Won was the sweet, sexy and uber-considerate guy who chose to pursue an ordinary girl despite the huge difference in their social status. The way they express love is so different but they're both intense and sincere. Pyo Na Ri is the unassuming girl who had a three-year crush on Hwa Shin but kept getting rejected and just when she was ready to give up on Hwa Shin and fall in love with his best friend, that's when Hwa Shin realized his feelings for her. I love the internal struggles that the 3 characters went thru. It reminds me how messy love is and how strong the feelings usually are when u first fall in love. I love how the writers was able to seamlessly incorporate their work life into the love story. I love how the two male leads competed with each other but still cared for each others as best friends at the same time. I love how Pyo Na Ri who had no one who loved her in the beginning suddenlu had two men fighting over her. I can't imagine a better cast, the actors have surpassed my expectations. Plus that kissing scene between Jo Jung Suk and Gong Hyo Jin. Just WOW. Jo Jung Suk, what can I say, he's a damn good kisser and the tv screen doesn't lie. I also love the ost! I've lost count how much I've listened to Lovesome. The other characters and storylines are also quite enjoyable. I also love the symbolism with the slippers. I will never get tired of this drama and will always be one of my top favorites. ¿Te ha parecido útil esta reseña?
you will have a love - hate relationship with this the drama
Good points about the story/ plot/ drama1-Very light , easy going, full of crazy fun drama, without villains, controlling parents etc
2-Throw light on a very unusual but deadly diseas
3-Shows the competitiveness and drama from behind the camera in the broadcasting industry, also in a very entertaining & engaging, non boring way
4-Deals with mature Issues related to mostly mature people like health, work problems, two timing ,asexuality etc.
5- A drama that is funny but if it were not a rom- com, it could have been easily a very intense Melo drama so writer did a good job by keeping an otherwise heavy story immensely funny
6- All the characters except for 2nd male lead was very realistic, the 2nd male lead was too perfect to be true.
7- One of the most hottest, sensual, sensational kisses from JJS , Gong Hyo Jin is one lucky woman.
8- The best of the best chemistry between main leads,and among all the characters.
9- Absolutely amazing OSTs, step step, would you to come to me, bye autumn are to name a few that leaves in my heart rent free.
10- Amazing bgm. Also very befitting according to the scene requirements.
Negative points about story/ plot:
1- Uninteresting side stories
2- Not everyone's cup of tea, very controversial for some .
3- One of the most annoying, unbearable lead female role
4- The biggest flaws
* The story and role of 2nd lead is very unnecessarily prolonged that makes at least half of the audience to root for him not for the main lead.
* The writer failed to bring out clearly, the reasons why male lead was a tusendear. she was unable to make a good no of the viewers like the male lead. She should not have made 2nd lead seemingly so perfect that many of the viewers could not connect to 1st male lead.
This drama is not everyone's cup of tea , like I said before especially for them who have over active brains, analyse dramas so critically, do not enjoy the drama for its face value, and don't take a drama as just a drama. And mainly for these reasons many dislike the main lead ,
But there are very few who dislikes female lead and I am one of them. The female lead almost through out the drama acts as a cringy ,puny woman who have no self respect, dignity, has no idea of someone's personal space,has no idea to let go and move on, wish-washy, indecisive on top of that is immature, naive. For me she only redeemed in the last 4-5 episodes and forother 20 episodes a little bit here and there. Even then she has the sympathies of all the viewers because she gets the benefit of being a woman and the portion of woman in the total no of viewers is always in majority.
On the other hand I absolutely loved the male lead who is a loveable jerk, little tusendear, a lot of arrogant ,have inner insecurities,think highly of himself but he cares in his own ways for his loved ones, actually do care for female lead when poses that he doesn't not care for her for various reasons for, he is charming, adorable, sincere, straight forward, all out honesty,sets the same bars for himself that he sets for others, and I was rooting for him because I understand why he acted the way he did. A major credit for it goes to Jo Jung Suk for his phenomenal, extraordinary acting. It was a fun ride to watch Hwashin's character growth.
A lot of viewers got the 2nd lead syndrome but I barely noticed him in my first watch, because for me personally he was very boring and bland. Again he is not a flawless character , he becomes clingy, not ready to move on from the female lead, was so rich but very weak in handling his personal matters, badmouthed his friend all the time in front of female lead to woe her back. But again just because he was good to the female lead and super duper rich so he was a perfect guy who gave some viewers 2nd lead syndrome.
I enjoyed every bit of the main story related to three main characters,it never got draggy, even though I had concerns with female lead but I was overcome with those concerns because female lead character is very realistic and such people like her exist. So the drama never got bored for me, I binged watched it in 3 days, I have rewatched it multiple times, I have saved it and come back to it time and again. I love it for it's crazy light theme, for its realistic characters, it's intense love triangles, it's flow, and for every good point that I mentioned above in the beginning of the review.
I hate it for making less efforts to make some people understand the main lead character and invest in him.
But I would say that this is one and only drama where it makes us to raise questions so very often on the behaviour of different characters but this never fails to stop us from watching it, from enjoying it, from craving for the next episodes.
Acting of every one was top notch except the 2nd male lead,he was good but not as good as others, but the one actor who totally shone , stole the show had to be Jo Jung Seok. I have fallen head over heels for him. He has made a seemingly unpleasant character , a totally loveable character, he made me believe in all of his happiness, insecurities, pain, sufferings, regrets, loneliness. I felt physical pain in my chest whenever he suffered. He made me laugh. He made me understand seemingly hidden reasons for his those actions that were considered unpleasant. This drama was my first time watching him. And If it was not for him, I think I would not be able to love this drama as much as I do now, without him this drama would not be as much interesting for me as it is now. Hwashin is a difficult role to play where he is an ordinary guy with an unlikable personality on paper, so the actor had the daunting task of making him as an endearing, adorable one, also actor had to show his grief and pain but not going full emotional & Melo but with a touch of humour, that is again not easy to act BUT JJS has done a DIVINE job with microexpressions and emotive eyes to fulfill all the needs of the role. I can go & on in praising him but I would like to leave a link here that would prove you how much of a good actor he is and how much of a phenomenal actor he was in Jealousy Incarnate as Lee Hwashin. Don't forget to read the comments down there in the last part of the article.
http://netizenbuzz.blogspot.com/2016/10/kim-soo-hyun-polls-in-as-1-romcom-king.html?m=1
Also, apart from his outstanding acting as Lee Hwashin , I would like to appreciate him for taking on such a difficult role where he actually had to wear a bra. A role that is actually as embarrassing to play as an actor as embarrassing it was shown in the drama for the same reasons, for all the same stigma .

Il n'en voulait pas, elle regarde ailleurs, alors il la veut !
Mes impressions au fil de la découverte, il y a déjà quelques temps :Là j'ai commencé "jealousy incarnate" (JI à partir de maintenant, pardon pour la paresse !! ) et ça me plaît énormément à 2 épisodes vus !! C'est un changement total d'univers et de ton et ça démarre très très bien au niveau construction, réalisation et interprètes ! Donc, allons-y !!
Je continue JI avec intérêt, car la problématique du cancer du sein chez l'homme est très originale à traiter dans un drama et là c'est remarquablement fait, tant au niveau médical (la mammographie !!! j'ai souffert pour lui) qu'au point de vue psychologique, c'est criant de vérité !! J'étais partagée entre la peine pour lui et l'envie de rire de le voir si embarrassé d'avoir "un truc de femme" !! Mais dans la vraie vie, c'est exactement comme ça ! (je suis secrétaire médicale !)
J'aime beaucoup la façon dont c'est traité !
En tous cas je peux dire que le protocole d'hospitalisation coréen est le même que chez nous !! La salle de réveil toussa toussa, pareil sauf le petit appareil à boule pour évacuer l'anesthésie des poumons !! La prochaine fois je réclame !!
Je n'en suis qu'au 9 mais en ce qui concerne "le triangle" pour le moment je ne dirais pas que c'en soit un ! Il n'y a rien de caché, les relations de chaque garçon avec la fille sont très différentes, et chacune sur un plan très différent. Le problème spécifique de l'un des deux hommes crée un ton très spécial entre la fille et lui et par la même un lien très particulier qui n'a absolument rien d'amoureux, pour le moment en tous cas ! Par là dessus il existe toute une série de relations et d'inter action entre divers personnages, depuis 3 lycéens jusqu'aux parents et même amis qui font que le fameux "triangle" n'est qu'une partie de l'histoire ! Et surtout les acteurs sont plus qu'excellents ! Les deux garçons (Cho Jung Seok et Ko Gyung Pyo)sont d'un naturel, d'une vérité de ton incroyables ! Bien sûr on connaît le grand talent de Gong Yoo Jin !
Je verrai bien si ça continue autant à me plaire, mais je l'espère ! Un drama bien construit et bien écrit, ça fait du bien !
J'ai du mal avec Jealousy incarnate parce que je NE SUPPORTE PAS LA BANDE SON !!! Ce n'est pas que les chansons soient mauvaises mais il y en a TOUT LE TEMPS, ça n'arrête pas ! Pas une minute sans une voix qui s'ajoute aux dialogues en en plus les couvre car la BO est trop forte ! C'est dommage, je ne peux pas en voir plus de deux épisodes à la suite tant ça me fatigue ! Donc je vais y aller tranquillement, et j'en ai encore pour un bon moment, puisque je n'en suis qu'à 13 vus !
La scène dans la boue à marée basse m'a irrésistiblement rappelé Thank You, surtout que c'était déjà Gong Yoo Jin qui s'y collait !! Mais j'ai trouvé cette scène très forte, tout à fait atypique avec une dimension burlesque et tragique à la fois ! Les OST des dramas sont mon point de faiblesse !! Mais pas de souci, je vais le finir parce que les personnages sont vraiment tout à fait intéressants ! Par contre je n'ai pas encore bien éclairci la situation familiale du patron du restaurant de nouilles !
Au sujet du patron du Rak Pasta, c' est le frère de la mère de Jung-Won, le second lead donc son oncle
Pour le cuisinier il m'avait bien semblé comprendre ça mais c'est le lien avec la gamine que je ne vois pas... à quel titre il s'occupe d'elle et se considère comme son tuteur au point de décider quelle mère est la meilleure pour elle ? En passant son "problème" de clin d'œil est tout à fait marrant et là aussi c'est une première : un personnage de drama reconnaissant ouvertement qu'il est impuissant sans en faire un drame, ça c'est original !
Aprés que le père de la gamine a perdu son entreprise, le cuisinier( enfin c' est quand même le patron du Rak Pasta et le propriétaire de cette grande maison^^) lui a loué un appart dans sa maison puis l' a pratiquement hébergé gratos quand il n' a plus eu un sou et ils sont devenus très amis au point que quand le père de la gamine lui a donné ses dernières volontés sur le papier qu' il lui a donné avant de mourir... il l' a lu et voyant ce qu' il y avait écrit...donc il se sent responsable vis à vis d' elle car maintenant c' est lui qui s' en occupe
Je viens de regarder l'épisode 15 de JI, et je n'ai pas rêvé ? C'est bien The Voice qui fait un cameo à la fin (on ne le voit que de dos) avec de fines allusions au drama "pasta" ??? je suis sûre d'avoir reconnu sa voix...
Je continue paisiblement Jealousy Incarnate, (17) et pour le moment j'ai une nette préférence pour Wha Shin (l'autre fait un peu trop fifils à maman et enfant gâté, quoique très mignon ! )Pour le moment je ne trouve pas de longueur, l'histoire évolue bien et ils arrivent à nous faire avaler une situation hautement improbable ce qui prouve que c'est quand même très bien fait ! Par contre j'ai de plus en plus de mal dans les dramas coréens avec la façon de se taper dessus pour un oui pour un non et de se piquer la ruche aussi pour un oui pour un non... !
Le fait qu'ils décident (enfin qu'elle décide) de vivre ensemble un mois pour aboutir à une sortie de crise, je ne crois pas que ce soit une situation bien habituelle !
J'aime vraiment beaucoup ce drama, même de plus en plus je dirai, et je ne trouve pas du tout de longueur, en fait c'est le rythme général qui est régulier, jour après jour et presque quotidien.
Pourquoi j’ai aimé ce drama :
J’apprécie particulièrement la vie du studio, et son réalisme, le travail des présentateurs, leurs contraintes, les rivalités, c'est extrêmement bien fait ! J'adore les scènes à l'hôpital, elle donnent à chaque fois un souffle différent à l'histoire, soit dans la comédie hyper drôle
(quand Hwa Shin fait danser l'infirmière ou qu'ils se retrouvent tous les trois dans la chambre ou (et là c'est hilarant) quand la doctoresse lui parle en l'appelant « grand-mère) soit dans le registre dramatique quand Wha Shin découvre qu’il a un autre problème de santé !
Ce drama est remarquable par l'excellent dosage de la progression des situations : juste quand le triangle amoureux allait devenir too much, Na Ri comprend qui elle aime réellement, et le choix se fait, la situation avance normalement, juste quand on allait s'installer dans ces fins interminables dont les Coréens ont le secret (la situation amoureuse est réglée, mais on rajoute bonheur sur bonheur, mariage et tutti quanti, voir la fin de Fated to love you)il y a la découverte du nouveau problème de Hwah Shin !
Et c'est comme les deux mères que je ne supportais pas au début, elle sont devenues très intéressantes, car pleines de nuances et de facettes multiples ! Et en passant la nuit dans placard avec le chef, trop drôle, surtout le baiser final !!
Non, plus ça avance plus je l'aime, et surtout j'apprécie cette impression de courant tranquille de la vie qui les emmène, et nous avec, ça avance, ça avance, sans cliffhanger ou coups de théâtre mélodramatique mais sans jamais de baisse de l'intérêt !
La musique je m'y suis habituée, et elle ne me gênait presque plus mais quand même il y a une chanson dont je me passerais bien volontiers, d'une voix de femme pleurnicharde et nasale assez désagréable à mon oreille !
J'aime vraiment beaucoup ce drama qui ne nous demande que de nous laisser emporter pour suivre tranquillement cette très jolie histoire remarquablement bien écrite et bien interprétée !
Une très jolie découverte, qui sera sans doute dans mon catalogue de "drama méritant d'être revus" !!

I was turned away by the low ratings but I'm so so so glad I finished this drama because it turned out to be one of my all-time favorites!!! The first episode didn't pull me in right away but as I watched on I grew to fall in love with the cast more and more!!! Literally this is the cutest and funniest drama I've ever watched!! Every episode had me on my toes but at the end of the day they would wrap it up in a heartwarming and light, funny way. If you're into heavy suspense maybe this isn't for you but if you're a sucker for romantic comedies then this is the one!!
I literally can't over that I finished this drama so fast. Best chemistry and best music! Jo jung suk is also suuuuuuper cute and I'm just so in love with him after this drama. Don't be turned off by the ratings, try it yourself!!

The story:
I read a review that said the story is messy but perfect kind of messy. I didn't understand this until I started watching this drama... I ended up finding it the perfect description for it.
There is a lot of side characters (which I usually hate) but for this drama, I loved each and every one of them.
The beginning is a bit slow but after a few episodes, you'll find yourself hooked to know what will happen next.
The romance is perfect. If you're a romance fan you'll be satisfied. I think this is the best love triangle of all the dramas I've seen.
The comedy... God the comedy was amazing, beyond perfect actually, I was laughing all the way from the 1st episode till the last moment (which doesn't happen easily)
It was so refreshing and new., I'll definitely remember it for a long time.
What I didn't like :
- There was no actual plot. It felt like I'm just living their daily Lives with them. It wasn't bad but it could've been better.
- Towards the end they gave up on some of the side stories, it bothered me a little but I got over it because there was a lot happening with the main story.
- They could've finished it in 20 ep (not 16 though) it would have been richer with events.
The acting was perfect. It was like Every actor was made for his character.
Jo Jung Suk is at his best. I fell in love with him all over again..he was perfect for this role and I don't think that there was someone who could do it as well as he did.
The music was wonderful. A big part of the drama was the music. It controlled your emotions during different scenes.
Without the music, it would have been a very sad drama so thank God.
Overall I strongly suggest you watch this if you don't mind the simple plot and a fan of romantic comedy.

FUUUN FUUUN!!??
It's always been on my PTW list, and finally watching it made me realize how much I missed old K-dramas?FUUUN FUUUN!!
I think "Jealousy Incarnate" is the first Korean rom-com I've seen with 24 episodes, and I managed to finish it quickly, a first for me! Usually, I lose interest around episode 16 or put the show on hold altogether.
But not this time with this one. It was chaotic in the best possible way, everything had me bursting into laughter because I was simply stunned ?Friends sharing the same taste in women, and two ladies working together having identical preferences in everything from clothes to men, which inevitably leads to conflicts over a daughter.
I won't deny that there were moments where boredom crept in, questioning where the story was headed or why certain problems were introduced, so I ended up fast-forwarding through some parts?♀️Still, I thoroughly enjoyed the drama, and it brought light to those days.
The ending was fantastic; I couldn't have asked for more. The cast was outstanding, from the leads to the supporting actors. I found myself missing some of them, and seeing them in this drama brought me immense joy.

The acting skills in this drama were really high, with complex and fast dialogs, also a lot of corporal expressions and improvisations. The music was nice and most of the writings were really well thought and the themes were developed really well with deepness and intention.
So why I give and 8 over 10 in overall and no more?
As the title said I felt the drama lacked a bit on the charm side, maybe because they put too much effort on some bittersweet comedy scenes and the main male character had a kind of akward personality, with the contrast of giving a great personality to the second lead male and rival of the main.
Also the main stories were somehow simple (probably more suited for 16-20 episodes instead of 24), forcing the drama to focus on some side scenes not very intriguing but some of them funny at least. With that, the dramatics lost some strenght.
However, the high acting sklls and a decent conclusion of the stories made up for a really decent drama overall.
