Just Between Lovers (2017)

Quando não tiver nada mais na sua lista

Vou ter que ir contra a multidão novamente, apesar das ótimas avaliações, que foi algo que me levou a ver esse drama tenho que discordar novamente.

O enredo tinha tudo para ser bom, porem alguma coisa deu errada , confesso que estava gostando até o quarto episódio , depois foi só ladeira a baixo. Nunca vi um drama tão parado e enrolado. Ficava dando voltas e não saia do lugar exageradamente lento, maçante. Não me comoveu nem um pouco, nem com cenas tristes . Eles faziam tanta questão que tudo fosse tão lamentável porem não conseguir me conectar.

Os protagonistas não me convenceram achei eles ,rasos, principalmente a protagonista, na realidade não gosto muito dela como atriz, o romance então achei morno quase chato ,não tinha química. A atuação deixou a desejar em vários pontos. Um dos motivos que não conseguir sentir nada assistindo. Foi bem dificil de assistir me peguei diversas vezes adiantando e parece que eu nunca saia do lugar, achei os episódios longo demais , meus Deus pareciam uma eternidade .
Gostei da Ost pelo menos e de algumas historias secundaria mais não o suficiente para me prender.

Não é terrivelmente ruim porem é bem bem mediano. Indico apenas para passar o tempo, se você tiver qualquer outro drama na sua lista por favor assista, esse é para deixar por ultimo.

Amazing and Impactful drama

I almost gave this a 10 and feel that it probably deserves it but, because I was left wishing they’d included a couple of things in the finale I couldn’t give it a perfect score. I wanted to see the main couple get married, or at least engaged. A proposal should have happened. Also, I wanted to see the memorial they designed and corresponding ceremony to see how the families felt about the result. That work was so critical to the story, it made no sense for us not to be allowed to see it to fruition.

Otherwise a deeply moving and beautiful story. Great acting. Awesome OST. And impactful visuals. Will definitely watch again.

This drama was so healing. The storyline is healing. In a sense of solace in the two leads. The story is about two people who were both in a horrific accident and living the aftermath of it all. It confronted a lot of things that most dramas don’t. Unable to move on from lost, alcoholism and depression. I usually give a good point to dramas which titles stand out but not only that, to be able to wrap the entire story but still leave you intrigued just by hearing the title. Just between lovers was exactly what is written. Only them felt that pain not for the fact that they were involved in it together but for the fact that they loved each other through it and helped each other to heal and no other person would have done that for them it was only between them because of their love. Watch this drama the performances are to be appreciated and the characters are perfectly imperfect.

believe in miracles

I didn’t expect to be this attached to this beautiful kdrama
This kdrama shows us pain,happiness,the feeling of guilt,sadness,the feeling of love. I am writing this and tearing up ,the kdrama makes you to value the things you have so you won’t take everything for granted. The storyline made me cry so much, they show us how miracles actually can happen and they show us not to give up on living no matter how hard life can get , just continue fighting, continue believing in miracles and also continue loving people you care about.
I hope everyone will watch it, i really think this kdrama is so underrated and recommend it to everyone.
The OST is another piece of masterpiece <3. I hope everyone will enjoy it.

The "Bad Boy"

I had only seen Lee Jun Ho as the polished, uptight hotelier in "King the Land" , where he played a very good part. However, in Rain or Shine (Just Between Lovers) he is superb as the "bad boy" , and classic "angry young man".
His "Granny" sees through the facade, and she, Na Moon Hee, is my second favourite actor in this programme.
Most of the main characters are complex - dealing with their own trauma from the past - and the actors portray their pain well.
I haven't finished this series, but, so far, it's been an emotional ride - with a little humour to balance out the tragedy.

One of the worse dramas attempting to mirror grief.

I'll try to keep it short. The drama tries its best to tackle grief and show how different individuals overcome and experience hardship. The problem is that it simply isn't realistic. The coping doesn't involve professional help, but rather toxic traits that include pill-popping, destroying lives around you to feel better, and being stuck in a time loop of self-destruction. Now, many of these things can be real for us, but the show does little to really address problems head-on. People don't give full answers, there is little context to justify the pain sometimes and the approaches to cope are never healthy.

The first 6 episodes are actually very well done. There is little drama, the cringing is kept to a minimum, and every character shows promise. Then, with little context or reasoning, it just goes bonkers and many characters attempt to destroy their own lives. In one episode, the male lead experiences ghosts of the dead and voices in his head. This isn't grieving, it's a mental disorder and borderline schizophrenic. The crazy part is that this is never addressed again in any other episode, nor do we see those ghosts again. If you're having trouble understanding me writing that, imagine watching the show.

Overall, your time would be much better spent watching virtually any other drama.

I might be the Only one who are so dissapointing with this drama. I watch it because of My Fav. PD Nim direct this drama, wish my luck for a good script coming on my way. THis drama has good potential setting, About past trauma, deal with moral behind earthquake event from different point of view. The setting from initial episode has been promising, but the problem has already there, which it seems the writers doesn't know how to develop interesting premise become more deep. Can you imagine if the second lead get more proper develop? We might end up start to get interest to their side and not only understand, but feel about their point of view too.

It lacks something than it will be better if the writers want to convey something more than what it seems.

After all I come to think that's the power of good PD. Elevated the script, and alot of performances and scene really well executed . SO I can see why people rate it high.  I give this drama a good  rating for those two alone.

i think i'm going to be the very black sheep
the story line was looking like "remember me " the movie which i hated too

i don't know from where i should start
but i should say "BIG EXHALE' for finishing this one
i was pushing myself to continue watching just to give a fair review towards this shit
this was a real torture for me with all that repeated flashbacks and events

first time ever for me watching drama on the fast forward button starting from ep. 05
i think this sentence should say a lot about the drama

they should name it "just bleak" OR "just depression"
something like that should be more appropriate for such a drama like this
the drama is very very very very slow, boring, lukewarm, cold with very repetitive events just to fill the story
i didn't feel anything while watching
there wasn't even a fluffy moments for me
i wasn't either excited for the main leads

i liked two other side stories

two characters in this drama made me mad
bulk of selfishness (moon soo's MOTHER) & ( kang doo's SISTER)
both of them were really GREAAAAAAT B***chs

specially the mother she that kind of persons who always blames others
and didn't rest till she made everybody around her being sad and depressed
i didn't say she should forget the dead but she should live for her other alive daughter
she neglected her in a very selfish way as if she is punishing her for living
i really hated her character so much
she is really unbearable and disgusting

and i never saw a ML (bleak's professional) like this one
and the FL WOOOOW what a coward stupid one
and the writer should continue the bleak till the last breath

the relations in this drama was extremely sick and abnormal for me i think they all should go to mental health hospital

and suddenly .... HAPPY ENDING
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
clap here for the failure please

i've never been harsh in my reviews but this one really deserves more than i wrote >_< -_-

Great actors doing a good drama, sadly not for me

Not my kind of drama, I don't like watching shows that intends to make me sad or cry. I like shows that promises if not a happy ending, at least a good one.. No matter how much bruised the main characters are.

Reading the synopsis and some reviews, I got interested. But after a short while, it became obvious that this ain't for me.

With that being said, I can still name things that I like. For example, the actors were really good and I think they're casts pretty well. I also like the music, it sets the right tone needed in the scenes.

I cannot binge watch this one, too heavy for me and to be honest it's a bit boring. If and when, I still wanted to watch the whole show..

Have a feeling will rewatch this a few times

Writing the review before I finish watching the entire series because I am liking it so much just now, and am afraid that the ending will somehow spoil it -- and it is definitely worth the time!
First of all: The acting by the main leads is phenomenal.
Second: (So far) all of the subplots make sense and fit with the overall story.
Third: It's easy and enjoyable to watch; no cringe worthy scenes or dialogues.
Fourth: The main leads are what one would call "normal" working people. The more I review, the more I discover that the this is important to me -- that the characters not be "the exceptional" or the super rich and famous -- not only is it more relatable if they are "normal", it is also inherently more interesting to me, because it then tends to focus on the actual human interactions more.
In terms of the negatives (so far): Not sure if it's a product placement issue, but the emphasis on women's makeup was a little weird in a few places. And there was the obligatory shirtless scene by the male lead (a lovely view, no doubt, but kind of out of place IMHO).
Still -- I am hoping that the ending continues to be as good because I am already looking forward to rewatching the earlier episodes.

if u r not into slow drama or u don't want to give it a try, it's not for u

i admit that first eps are kinda boring and u would gonna think if they portray in cringy the 'trauma' in the storyline (coz obv it's not just a simple word to talk about). my first impression when I saw the poster, is that I thought of light drama with a plot of having trauma.

honestly, I'm not into slow drama but I realized watching several eps, the plot, the scenes, and how they portray the characters are REALISTIC. it's not having trauma and suddenly being healed bcoz of love, that's not as simple as that. other circumstances happened to their personal, social, and family life and brought them roller coaster emotions that reflect the reality of life.
in terms of acting, I really love how Junho and Jin-ah portrayed their characters so well. at first, u gonna question their chemistry, but nah, they're so good!

This drama made me cry, laugh, and cry huhu and I also learned a lot. This drama is a healing and comfort drama for me.
Life is about risk, pain, sacrifice, and love. Life is so precious. If you're reading this, I hope u overcome the thing u are going through, and be strong. Proud of u!
