7 First Kisses (2016)

Your spanish review it's here!

Gracias a que es corto y los actores son buenos, lo vería una y otra vez!
Tiene historias muy simples pero que cada personaje le da su propio toque. Es perfecto para ver cuando no tienes nada más en tu lista y dispones de poco tiempo.
Lo único que no me gustó mucho fue que se terminaban esos 7 u 8 minutos de capítulo (porque es muy corto) y la historia se veía forzada a terminar lo que hacía que no tuviera ningún sentido. Gracias a esto, al finalizar, solo me acordaba de los últimos 2 capítulos.
Si bien hay personas que decían que era un comercial (y no lo dudo), pienso que lo hicieron de una forma en la que no te puedes dar cuenta (a menos que lo estés buscando)
De todas formas, lo recomiendo!

I mean, how does one even review a drama like this? It's totally subjective! That said, each episode was a short 10 minutes that flew by because they were so cliche, yet so fun. Each episode featured a different star, and a different drama cliche plot line condensed into 10 minutes.

I recommend this just because it's so entertaining to watch. I especially recommend it if one of your biases is featured in an episode and odds are they probably are because what a line-up!

Story-wise, I thought Ok Taec Yeon's was the funniest and the best. Kai's noona storyline was cute as well. Subjectively, I liked Ji Chang Wook's because I'm biased and it gave me 'Healer' vibes all over again.

Music is lighthearted and the theme song is sang by Ji Chang Wook!

Like I said earlier, it's a purely fun watch so don't expect great stories. After all, didn't we all come here to see our favorite biases? I know I did!

Honestly, I wasn't even going to write a review for this. It's basically a movie length CF, and I only watched it to kill some down-time at work. The idea was good in theory, but they tried to shove so many (top star) characters into such a short time that it felt WAY too rushed. And the ending episode was even more so. The running time was less than 9 minutes on the last one, yet the story ended at around the 5-6 minute mark and they wrapped up with BTS footage.

The story was kind of cringe-worthy, so the only real thing to recommend about it was all the pretty male faces.
I truly cannot even recommend this to anyone unless you are just looking to fill about an hour or so and have nothing better to do.

7 First Kisses was literally an ad that was a parody. Thus, I never expected a proper drama. I just went into it like I go into YouTube skits. Consequently, I ended up enjoying it quite a lot and had a few great laughs. To see some of my absolute favourite actors play such cliche and ridiculous roles was really refreshing and funny. Yes, it is cringy but that is exactly what it is supposed to be! Overall, I would definitely NOT recommend this show if you are looking for a serious watch. It is just something funny to see in between breaks (lots of very very very handsome men to see!) or with your friends ((:

This is my new favorite thing!!  I'm not kidding.  If you're looking for a web series that allows you to drool over all your favorite amazingly hot celebrities while simultaneously being a self-insert fanfic/condensing of all your favorite Kdrama cliche story lines into ten-minute segments, then this is for you!!  And I really do mean that this is a self-insert fanfic, but not in a bad way.  It's written far better than a lot of fanfic I've come across, and the scenarios aren't completely and utterly ridiculous or far fetched like a lot of fanfic (I mean, they are to a certain extent, but that's unavoidable...what I mean is that they are all still kinda within the realm of believability).
I got such a kick out of this series, and I WILL be rewatching it at some point probably very soon since it is so short and it flies by.  Also, if you're deterred at all by the fact that this is essentially a super long commercial, don't be.  It's not nearly as in your face and annoying as I thought it would be.  It's just kind of a side note and serves as the setting for the story to happen.  The story itself really has nothing to do with the commercial aspect of it, and they don't upfront try and sell you anything, which is nice.
In the end it really depends on what you're looking for when you watch this.  If you go into it expecting fluff and goofy antics and LOTS of dreamy closeups, you will not be disappointed.
P.S. This got so many fangirl squeals out of me, it's ridiculous.

The cast will most likely be the first and main reason why one would watch this web drama, lotte was able to cast a-list actors into one drama, and watching it made me squeal like crazy a lot of times in just a span on 10 minutes.

The songs by Melody Day and Ji Chang Wook were also good along with the background.

However, I must say that I would most likely not watch this again after watching it once because the plot is almost non-existent, the only thing attractive is that the lead actress fangirls over the boys the way we do her reaction was the most entertaining and of course do not forget the HOT AND HANDSOME MEN waiting for you.

It's basically a giant ad for Lotte Duty Free, so as long as you go into watching these 10 minute stories knowing that, I don't know why anyone should be disappointed. All of the actors and actresses did fabulous for the part they were supposed to play, and the stories were all fun to go through. The music matched really well and it is just a fun time killer. I didn't give it a 10 because once you've seen it you end up just wanting to rewatch your "choice" over and over again, but who doesn't like seeing gorgeous people? I would recommend watching it more like a game - see all the stories, and then watch the "ending" of the one that you would have chosen and let your imagination run wild! :D

If you had to choose between seven men, which one would you choose? Seven Korean celebrities appear in a forever single girl's life, after a good fairy (?) grants her a wish to find a boyfriend. The only trick is that they should not kiss her. Okay, the story is so so and the whole drama is simply a lotte advertisement (five minutes out of the ten minutes length were dedicated to it). However, especially if you're a fan of those celebrities, you can't help but feel all fussy and start to identify with the girl. That's because mainly due to the fact that each story is different, exploring every possible romantic scenario that could happen. And the guys vary for everyone's taste to be satisfied, from an idol to an actor, you can certainly find you favourite. Still, the ending was really short. I mean it should have been explained further what actually happened. So, 2 out of 10.

It is difficult to review something that is an ad because the main point of it is going to be "Shop at Lotte". But there's a certain charming attraction to this long advertisement as it uses big-name Korean male stars in a series of tribute short-films based on their respective genres.

Park Hae Jin in workplace thriller romance, Ji Chang Wook in an action spy film and Taecyeon in a truly-hilarious Makjang were just three of the seven. And while the latter may not be able to act, he's certainly not afraid to poke fun at himself and the genre.

If you don't expect much, you may not be disappointed by the ending but I personally was. As I said, you shouldn't expect much from an advertisement but this really does go nowhere and leaves you wondering what happened in the end. But if you go in with low expectations and don't expect any actual kisses and you'll be fine.

Would you like to be the Female Lead of a K-drama?

First of all, "7 First Kisses" is really not a drama or web drama. It's a big commercial for Lotte Duty Free. So, don't be disappointed if this is not a well-written drama. Just enjoy the ride!

However, you can immerse yourself in these short 10-minute videos and pretend to be the Female Lead of a Korean drama. Go on a memorable date with your childhood friend, your boss, a secret agent, a rich chaebol, a celebrity or be in a noona romance. Experience the world of tropes and cliches and enjoy the time spent with 7 handsome guys.

I wish I could go on any of these dates with one of these handsome guys.

What's wrong with a little eye candy?

I loved this little show, though it was basically a commercial for the Duty Free shop (actually, I think that's why this was made). This is not a show in which you need to think at all. I thought this was the perfect little snack before moving on to my next full-length drama. I'll be honest, I thought this was a lot more romantic than a lot of the so-called romantic comedies out there in K-drama land.

The premise of the show was very clever, and I loved the little snippets of each male character. This is one of those shows that is perfect for people like me, people that can't decide who is the most attractive male Korean actor, each is wonderful in his own way. And as I watched each storyline, I recalled other dramas that I had seen each actor in that made me love them in the first place.

This is fluff at its finest. I was kind of disappointed in the ending, but I'm willing to forgive that due to the fact that you put some of my favorite Korean actors in one show for me.
