Érase un amor rural (2022)

Thankfully didn't go any worse, but could've been better

I start watching this just for Young Woo, Sung Chul and the veterinary background that they are displaying. At start, the whole chaotic city veterinarian boy who got pushed to live in the rural village was very enjoyable to me. Especially in every episode they kind of cover on few different cases of animals in the veterinarian world. The most memorable one for me was the old man with his old bull best friend, that was the most touching and heartfelt story.

Unfortunately, the string of cliches that they pulled on ep 8 - 9 has made this drama fall from a solid 8 to a 7, especially seeing how the story would've flow just nice even without the whole ex comeback plot. Not only is she manipulative, but also irritating and annoying throughout her screen time; I don't even like her final goodbye to Ji Yul bcs even then, she tried to twist things around. Fortunately, at least Sang Hyun came back to his sense towards the end and stop being an arse lol

But, they do pull through after that; ep 10 - 12 did not disappoint as I predicted it will, in fact, I really enjoy the moments of them dating secretly; the awkwardness, the struggle; they are soooo adorable during those sequences. Not to mention, her whole confession to the entire village abt their relationship lol. I also enjoy the bits of their long distance relationship; which I hope could've been longer to show their struggle in handling their first LDR etc

The ending was predictable, but adorable regardless. The only thing I dislike is the cliches in ep 8-9, and also the fact that after awhile, they start to lose focus on the whole veterinary plot and we didn't get any story related to the animals anymore, which is a shame bcs they didn't manage to balance that with the romance

Se você curti algo fofo e doce, com bastante clichê esse drama com certeza é para você, mais caso for ao contrário não embarque nessa meu caro, você pode ficar chateado.

Enredo previsivel e mau executado,direção fraca e roteiro raso, eu me senti entediada bem rápido asssistindo esse drama.

A protagonista feminina era tão doce que fiquei diabética, gosto dessa atriz mas eu achei bem forçado sua atuação neste drama em específico. Sua personagem é aquela típica mocinha fragil, delicada, bobinha, boazinha e fofinha. Sua profissão era icompatível ela, poderiam ter colocado ela em outra coisa por que como policial achei bem ruizinha, não conseguiu pegar nem um ladrão , e em situações de gritaraia e confuções que surgiam na aldeia ela mal podia lidar com as mulheres de lá.

Sobre o protagonista masculino já me esqueci dele, não vi nada memorável ali.

Em fim não recomendo isso para você, talvez se desligar seu cerébro até que consiga curtir um pouco, então boa sorte caso queira prosseguir com esse desafio, você vai precisar.

Best korean drama i see for a while

This drama is a drama that I finished in one day without stopping. I watched it over and over because the story is fun and simple, there are no long-winded things and there are not too many episodes so it can be summarized well. the main character is very suitable, I really like the combination of the two of them, this is the first time I have watched a Korean drama without stopping, usually I stop in the middle of the drama because sometimes I don't like the storyline or the storyline is very unrealistic or the characters are too stupid to watch, but for this I really like and am happy because it meets my expectations. If you want to watch a simple drama about rural life and romance that isn't too complicated, this is a very good drama, I highly recommend it.

Don’t waste your time.

Boring almost fall sleep. Find female caracter annoying was everywhere all the time. I dropped tried to finished too hard watch cliché lines.
The only thing was interesting that it’s shows country life of small village, lovely.
I wouldn’t spend time in this drama, unfortunately I did with four episodes uff!!
I find that the writers tried to convincing the us that this was a great love history with a small budget and small creativity.
The writers are the hart of the Drama if they loose creativity is impossible to fallow it, impossible to be credible and if they aren’t credible we get bored.

Total Crap, Don't Waste Your Time

Some Manga should never be made into live action and this is one of those times. Good looking cast and perhaps they can act their characters, but the writing is horrible! The director should be fired; WAY too long pauses before either FL or ML react, that it's ridiculous. Production is bad too, with zoom in being way too close (I don't want to see their nose hair) and their heads are cut off at the top. At least they used a film stabilizer, unlike a lot of K-drama's brought to us by Netflix. Music is too loud, although fitting with the scenes.

I have liked the FL in other shows, but in this one she's too stupid and trying too hard to be cute, perhaps to match the manga character, but she fails.

I just can't watch more than what I already have. I don't recommend this to anyone, not even to teens, because you'll feel your brain cells die.

A short, cold glass of lemonade in the summer heat.

The Good:
- Choo Young Woo (Han Ji Yul). His character was imperfect, but he looked and felt like a tall glass of water in every scene. He's got the physique and presence of the main lead to the point it's so glaringly obvious amongst all of the townsfolk. He really does look like a Seoulite, so the casting choice for him was well done. I also enjoy his acting; he's apt for physical comedy, and I often laughed at his facial expressions and awkward body contortions. I hope he gets a more serious role next time. He looks like he'd do well in a police thriller or a more mature melodrama. I can see him getting a lot of success, especially at his young age.

-The setting. The town is believable, quaint, picturesque, and so realistically presented within this story-book-like cinematography that I could feel the heat and the sun just by watching our characters uncomfortable squirm on their bikes or while picking peaches under the country sun.

-Episode/series length. It was just long enough. I wouldn't have enjoyed hour-long episodes or a full 16-episode storyline.

-Chemistry between Han Ji Yul and Yun Hyeong, and Ji Yul with her cop colleagues

-The animals! Han Ji Yul is a veterinarian and is not just used as a plot device! He's actually working throughout the series and handling large animals. I liked that, and it gave the story more heart. It felt believable, and I enjoyed how the animals were often intertwined in the story.

The Not So Good:
-Unoriginal, cliche-laden storyline. Don't go into it expecting the drama to reinvent the wheel. I didn't, and I enjoyed it for what it was (although I skipped the 2FL and 2ML storylines entirely). I'd just come off a few heavy horror/thriller dramas, so this was my calm respite.

-Joy is not a good actress. The positive reviews are laden with Red Velvet fans, and that's fine, but let's not pretend she can act. I lost count of how many times I rolled my eyes at the fake cutesy laughs. I understand it may have been how her character was written, but it was often overly forced and unnatural. She had fine moments, but even broken clocks are right twice a day.

-Out of 12 episodes, they're only dating for 2, so it took way too long. I liked them dating. They were cute.

*I had a hard time rating this drama because it offers nothing new or very memorable on paper, but I enjoyed it. I often laughed or smiled (and even shed a tear or two), and I'm looking forward to more projects with the ML.
