Blue Birthday (2021)

I was surprised at the surprises!

This webdrama, for the most part, was a very interesting watch. It begged the question - can you ever really move on from a sudden tragedy? It also addressed the paths we take in our lives - decisions aren't made in a vacuum, each thing we chooses changes the trajectory of our lives in some way. In the story, there were some surprising twists that kept my interest piqued.

I loved the friendships, though they weren't delved into as much as I'd like due to the jumping back and forth in time.

I didn't really feel the chemistry between the main characters. Their interactions were cute, but initially it was hard to see their attraction for one another because they were sniping at each other all the time. One kiss that looked totally staged.

The acting was good. I was especially impressed with Hongseok during his emotional scenes.

My main complaint was that the time jumps were so frequent, and they weren't good about differentiating between past and present. It often took me a few seconds to figure out what time they were in, and that took away from my immersion in the story.

Dissappointing

Did anyone actually watch this series all the way through? It makes no sense. It's like the writers messed up in the middle of the show and decided to change the story. How does this have high reviews?
This is what you call a strictly idol drama- the writers knew that
people would watch this show because Yeri was in it, and they
didn't put in any effort. I loved Yeri's acting, she definitely deserved better than this.

Spoiler ahead.......he doesn't even die of suicide.
This show actually has nothing to do with suicide or mental health. I feel like I was deceived by watching this. If you were on the fence and wondering if you should watch this show.....don't. Watching this was a waste of time

Wish i could travel back before watching this...

I even think i rewatch this, that how so forgettable this was for me.
Traveling in time burning photos it is ok. Everyone doing that it is strange. The plot has lots of holes and incongruences…
STORY – a suicide that can be prevent traveling to the past. Changing the past will lead to bad karma…
Seo Joon travels to prevent her long-time friend from all kinds of bad things (from hurting her knee to falling the stairs). Ten years ago, he is find dead, presumably suicide.
Ha Rin loved him for so long and she still misses him after a decade. With nine photos from his camera, she reads a note where he confess his love for her. She, strangely, burn one of the photos and find herself in the past.
Then the story goes from trying to save him, changing the past what tuning the consequences…
SPOILERS – murder and not suicide, so… who is the killer, the villain?
The friends were ok, I guess. However, all of them could be the suspect…
The villain is so boring, one-dimensional and a psycho.
ACTING – I do not follow the k-pop and drama thing. I do not know the actors and their lives. I just did not like the acting, but it was not awful.
MUSIC – forgettable. It was not my thing.
REWATCH – no, never again!
OVERALL – the premise is interesting. The plot could be great, but it is not. The characters and their stories are boring, with lots of incoherence. The changes in the future are minimal.

No.

Particularly and honestly, this is a big no. The biggest problem here was the way the production team tried (and they, indeed, did) to make a long story short. Despite it sounds way too cliche, the plot had a big and strong potential: time travelling and teen years, what else can I ask? But it turned into a bad production and I hate using this word at all.
The dialogues are simple and there's no deepening during story/character development. At some point they're just saying whatever is important with no likelihood. It's pure basic and full of those "hero x villain" archetypes that make the drama seemed to be produced by an amateur team. Despite the cast, that was very underrated by their own characters, none really was "good".
I know "they" got few time to show what they wrote, but there was very very very better ways to present what the team had prepared and the main plot. The direction team didn't show enough to be presented as a "good dorama". At all. We see cliche moments, cliche dialogues, cliche characters and again, without deepening on their developments. The main couple, for example, has no chemistry. And I mean: no chemistry. Not even a little bit.
Of course, if you like those cliche romcoms or just wanna something short to watch... You'll probably like it. But, for me, (someone's very critical, I admit it), it's very bad and I wouldn't watch it again nor recommend it for someone who's above 12 years old.

Worth a watch

Solid but not spectacular. If you like time travel dramas I would give it a go.

The good:
The story is interesting and keeps you entertained. This probably the strongest aspect of this series. The short running time of each episode moves the plot along quickly. I liked how we got to see the link between past and present timelines play out.
Standout cast for me were Yeri a Ha Rin and Kim Yi Seo as Hye Min.
The friendship between the leads is very sweet and adds so much needed comedy at times.

The bad:
It's definitely from a smaller studio, evident from the OST, script and acting. This is not a direct criticism per-say but worth bearing in mind if your viewing time is limited! I didn't find the OST memorable, some of the dialogue is pretty basic and there's a few crocodile tears. Also you get the feeling with a bigger budget they could have done a lot more.
The kiss between the two leads was a very poor effort.
