Could of been better but I still recommend this

Everything was amazing but the stupid mother. The ending could have been better but they focused on the mother being a social climber too much and the male coworkers sexually assaulting their female employees. Jin Ah's mother was too much, she was mentally, verbally, emotionally, and physically abusive towards everyone. She was self-aware she was a bitch and a snob. She didn't care who she stepped on and pissed off. All she cared about was connections and becoming rich and powerful. She even told Joon Hee that's all she cared about which made her even worse than I expected. She was so caught up with marrying up in society she didn't care how her family felt. Everyone else was ok with Jin As and Joon Hee's relationship either straight away or they just came to terms with it eventually but Jin Ah's mother flat-out refused and made everyone miserable. Even when Jin Ah's gets cheated on by her long-term almost fiancée she kept trying to pressure Jin Ah's to take him back, she is also misogynist she would excuse if he did something bad and be like that's what men do they mess up but you make up. It was so disgusting to see her mother be such a bitch throughout the entire series. Poor Jin Ah had to deal with so much abuse not only from her ex-bf, her mother and her male coworkers. The mess was almost too much almost taking away from Jin Ah's and Joon Hee's relationship. They ended up breaking up cuz of Jin Ah's mother and her messy work problem, Joon Hee was trying to get Jin Ah to go with him to get relocated for work but she turned him down. So we get a time jump and they finally get back together so we do get a happy ending but it's just so ridiculous how much her mother made everyone's life so miserable, you would think Jin Ah was a child but she was almost in her 40s. Like I understand different cultures and social norms but this was insane, I'm surprised her husband just didn't file for a divorce she was that unreasonable. Even their son Jin Ah's brother Seung couldn't take it anymore and told their mother that if she continued to harass Jin Ah she would possibly take her own life cuz of how abusive and stubborn she was to force her family to get rich and be part of that society. Like right before Jin Ah and Joon Hee broke up she kept telling Jin Ah that she couldn't wait for her to go on more blind dates she wanted to arrange and meet a rich wealthy man. She completely ignored what her son said cuz she is so self-absorbed with becoming wealthy again I am surprised her husband hadn't divorced her. You could tell how fed up everyone was with her bs. It was so bad that Jin Ah had to finally get her own place which again I understand in Asia living with your parents until you're married hell even when they are married it's normal to still live with them, but she should have moved out sooner knowing her mom was this difficult even before he ex-bf cheated on her. You see her brother mention it a few times they all know how difficult their mother is. Besides the bs you have to watch with Jin Ah's mother Jin Ah's and Joon Hee's relationship is super cute and they have amazing chemistry you basically don't see or feel the age gap which is only 10 yrs apart making him in his late 20s. This wasn't even the issue for the mother btw it was just cuz he was from a "bad family" and a "low rank" Joon Hee's father cheated on his mother so Jin Ah's mother didn't see him as fit to marry her daughter, I bet if he was rich and a son of a CEO she would have turned a blind eye cuz that's how she was with Jin Ah's ex. He wasn't rich or a son of CEO but he was becoming wealthy with his job/connections. Which Jin Ah's mother wanted. No one seemed to care about the age gap, the other thing that Jin Ah's mom kept bringing up was that she "raised" Hae In and his sister so they are "family" but she treated them like complete shit once she found out Jin Ah was dating Hae in. When Joon Hee and Jin Ah were together I just kept feeling butterflies and warm and fuzzy inside they were so cute together. I just kept getting lost in Hae In eyes and how handsome he is. So would I rewatch this probably not just because of Jin Ah's mother and when they get back together for me personally didn't feel satisfying, the ending was probably rushed like most of these dramas they focus on the drama on the leads while making someone a villain they don't focus on the ending until the money is running out so it feels half-assed. Would I recommend it maybe depends on who I'm talking to and they don't mind what I experienced as much. The relationship between Jin Ah and Joon Hee is good enough to tolerate Jin Ah's mother's abusive behavior but just barely.

A voir pour les acteurs (géniaux) si vous aimez pleurer

J'ai regardé cette série pour l'acteur (JHI) que j'adore. Et comme toujours, il est génial...

Mais la narration est très lente , et surtout la FL (remarquablement interprétée) est très passive, très soumise. Bref, on a tellement souvent envie de la secouer !!
Je veux bien que la culture et l'éducation coréenne soient différentes (de la liberté individuelle européenne, à laquelle je suis si attachée), MAIS au XXIe siècle, je ne comprends pas la pression sociale et surtout familiale à propos de relation et de mariage !

Bref, malgré le talent des acteurs, ce drama m'a énervée en raison des longueurs et du ton de la fin, plutôt triste

I really ....REALLY enjoyed this drama up until episode 10/14...for obvious reasons... The new drama style is something that hooked me. The soft ambience and the "real" family drama one can experience while watching is amazing. Even more because it simply isn't a drama per se, but something one can look forward to. It's like a distant relative's family problem.
One major thing that bothered me, like many other people, was the rushed ending. The whole new atmosphere that the drama gives off is totally different from the first 10 to 15 episodes. If you'd like to stay out of the unnecessary drama that any other 0815 drama can give you, watch only up until episode 10. If you do that, you can remember this beautiful drama as a good one, like it should have been.

Neglecting the last episodes, I can surely say that this is by far one if not the best dramas i have seen. The new style of telling their stories is really comfortable and pleasantly to watch. Even if you have to understand quite a lot of korean to understand it, since the subs either lack full translation or a correct sentence that would make sense... Sometimes i felt like it has been translated by google, but what can i say... i knew some korean so i'm fine.

estou apaixonada

neste exato momento eu estou reassistindo esse dorama e MEU DEUS, isso é uma obra prima!!! Desde a primeira vez eu fiquei fascinada pela OST desse kdrama, me viciei na música "stand by your man" ATÉ HOJE, e já faz uns dois anos desde que eu assisti pela primeira vez.
O meu surto atual (q não é tão atual assim) é como eu amo a personalidade do carinha lá, Jun alguma coisa, EU AMO ELE. Eu amo como ele é todo engraçadinho e SÉRIO ao mesmo tempo, e quando ele fica bravo... sai de baixo. Ele com ciúmes e protegendo da Jin-a é TUDO pra mim!!! A história deles é uma das minhas preferidas, é diferente e cheia de conflitos e emoções, PERFEITO.

A better soundtrack would have helped a lot.

### No Spoiler Review

First. It's good to see a Noona romance not involving a high school student.

The shows potential lies in the women empowerment storylines. I believe this show would have been better sold as a story centered on Jin A, a woman trying to navigate her way through societal expectations. Something more in the tone of My Mister or Misaeng. It falls short of those shows in many ways, but the blueprint is there. The romance should just have been something that happens in Jin A's life, not define it (I want that for so many of romance stories I have seen). I love the relationship between the female characters here, especially Bo Ra and Jin A. Wish we'd have got more of that from the very start, including conversations that didn't center on the male characters.

But first there's the soundtrack. The show has many lingering shots which would provide an opportunity for the soundtrack to stand out, if only it was good. The score is quite good. However, the song choices ruins everything. Not only did they choose poorly composed music, with average melody and terrible lyrics, they had to reuse them multiple times in the show. It's another reason why I think the second half is kind of better, since it has less of that shitty music. Something I realized is that they didn't have a single Korean song. I feel anytime I have watched a show with English songs, it's often terrible. Should they have written better songs for the show, it would have been a lot better.

### Spoilers start here.

Having read some of the reviews on the show early on, I expected a huge dip in quality in the second half of the show. Other than the cliched evil mom, the show narrowing in on the workplace discrimination and sexual harassment plot elevates, if only for a bit. Many who must have picked up the show for the romance will probably end up disappointed. This is where the comparison to My Mister and the likes comes in. There's that hint of realism that you don't find in many shows. It's why I think the mom being against the relationship works for the story (It would have weird to have no one be against it when the first half focuses so much on hiding the relationship). That's not to say it was done well. I still think it went over the top and the lack of self-reflection or at least more insight to the mother's psyche has it teetering on the edge of the absurd. As much as I am praising the second half, I still think it is a worse than the first mostly due to the lack of consistency. The romance becomes repetitive with the couple having issues over the same mistakes. I was expecting a bittersweet ending given societal taboos, but I think the lack of proper communication between the couple ruins everything.

I give the story a 7 since I thought it was good but could have been better, starting with the side characters. We've already talked about the mom, but this applies too to the workplace characters and the rest of Jin A's family. The audience isn't given enough to root for or against them. This is what keeps the show as an average romance story rather than a great slice of life drama. When we think of the good slice of life stories, their success comes from having well developed characters. This show has only hints of it and it is not for a lack of time. The first part has so many slow scenes that could have been cut out to accommodate the other characters and plotlines. But we got the repetitive music instead.

I'd recommend the drama for the friendship between Bo Ra and Jin A but even that is hardly explored to be worth anyone's time.

High on Emotions & Intense romantic drama

Although I am not a sucker for romantic dramas, however this one really hit me hard to the point that during the last few episodes my Smartwatch started giving me alerts for high-stress levels due to acute anxiety! I almost forgot in the middle few episodes that I am actually watching a drama.

The first three dramas are just enough to get you hooked and prep you for the rest of the rollercoaster ride of emotions.

The story articulation and the screenwriting throughout the 14 episodes were heartfelt. The screenplay did not feel rushed and touched on every aspect of emotion from every perspective. However, my anxiety rose in the final episode as I noticed the drama is about to end, and the lead protagonists are still not back together.

I somewhat felt a little disappointed in the ending. It felt a little subdued as it did not meet viewer (mine) expectations after riding such an intense rollercoaster ride. It felt like the ride came to an abrupt halt leaving all its patrons in a state of mixed emotion and confusion.

I would personally feel more satisfied if the last fifteen minutes of the finale could be rewritten to show more passion, tears, family and love. Honestly, this type of ending does not do justice to this beautiful drama.

Nevertheless, this drama has easily made it into my top list of all-time favourites. Not only because this is an excellent watch, but also because I could personally resonate with the story being from India, and having a love marriage with a girl older than me from different background. We also had to go through a similar situation with our families & social stigma but of course less drama.

I am writing this review just after ten minutes of binge-watching the entire drama overnight straight 23+ hours. This is my first ever review of any Korean drama, and I am still unsure why I felt compelled to write something. Perhaps to put my mind at ease.

Cheers

"Something in the Rain"

The working title of the show was “Pretty Noona (girl who is elder to you) who buys me Food” which is pretty interesting itself. Son Ye Jin and Jung Hae In are in the lead roles in this drama. This show was one of the best Korean dramas of 2018 and it will definitely make it to the top 10 list of my favorite dramas. Half way through the drama I sit back and wait for the next episode to air. I have wait more than usual as I need subtitles to understand the Korean yet I do as gladly as I am in love with the show and the hero also. The couple is very cute despite of such huge age gap. This show name was inspired by couple Song Jung Ki and Song Hye Kyo as they have age gap and Song Hye Kyo used to buy meals to Song Jung Ki and the rest is history as the couple is married and have a kid too (separated now and I know it doesn’t make sense but sometimes most beautiful of the couples doesn’t remain the same). Well I like “Something in the Rain” title more as it goes with the vibe of the show and the romantic Rain scenes which makes your heart flutter.

The first episode of the show was hard to get by I just couldn’t take it but I m happy that I didn’t drop the show altogether because of the hero as I ve seen him in other shows and he can’t go wrong. So from second episode till now their chemistry is going great and that not just the reason I am watching this show. Love is a beautiful feeling and it makes you a better person and give strength to overcome all your difficulties is the thereof the show. Jin ah and Joon he have huge age gap despite of which they both harbor feeling for each other which makes them reluctant to pursue each other but they end up dating each other in secret from their family.

This show is not just boring romance but an amazing interesting relateable plot line which is fast paced but gets you to enjoy the emotions. Every part of a relationship is shown in the show, the ex boy friend drama, family restrictions, best friendship drama. The plot is not new yet it is great to watch how actors present it on screen. Jin ah is strong character and professional women; it’s great to see how she tackles her professional as well as personal life. No matter how hard things get, she becomes a better person due to Joon he love for her. She doesn’t just sit by and watch but fight against injustice (workplace harassment) happening in the workplace.

There are so many people who are against their relationship then who are in favor of it. Jin Ah is not just a damsel in distress but she creates a bigger problem for herself every time and risk her relationship with Joon he still he forgive her every time and makes her more comfortable than she can ever be. He can give relationship goals to people out there in love. Also that makes him an ideal boyfriend type which is disappointing as guys like him doesn’t exist in real world. This show and its actors have received many awards for its fresh take on relationships.

Storia d'amore e di amicizia

Son Ye gin come sempre affascinate e attrice magistrale sa dare attrazione a questa storia. Il protagonista pure è alquanto simpatico.
La canzoni sono piacevoli ; mi è piaciuta in particolar modo la canzone "Stand by your men" cantata da Carla Bruni.
In questa commedia , in tutte le famiglie, sono le donne che menano la danza. Mentre al lavoro subiscono soprusi ma sono combattive.
