Adult Trainee (2021)

Bem interessante e fora da caixinha

É um ótimo mini drama, pena que começou com a pior história possível.

1. Sei que a pornografia é um tabu muito grande na Coréia do Sul e é um tema importante pra ser abordado e foi bem corajoso de tratarem deste assunto nesse mini drama, mas eu me senti desconfortável durante os dois episódios inteiros, achei tão chato que eu não via a hora de acabar. Foi o mais fraco das três histórias. Foi salvo pela HQ no final que ficou muito boa! Só não desisti, pois uma amiga me disse que o próximo valeria a pena e, realmente, ela tinha razão.
2. Me pergunto por quê o casal não teve um drama inteirinho só pra eles. Eu sou muito fã de dramas colegiais e esses 3 episódios foram INCRÍVEIS do início ao fim, fiquei arrasada pq foi tão curto. A química do casal era quase palpável. Se dependesse só dessa história minha nota seria 10/10 com toda certeza.
3. Fiquei um pouco decepcionada com a ultima história, já que a segunda tinha superado todas as minhas expectativas. Foi uma história morna e fraca, acho que foi mal desenvolvida, mas até que gostei do enredo e da amizade deles.

No fim acho que o desfecho das 3 histórias foram agradáveis e bem fora da caixinha. Se eu fosse assistir hoje pela primeira vez deixaria a segunda história pra ver por último e não deixaria de assistir nenhuma.

É super curtinho e bem rápido de assistir, foi bom para passar o tempo. A primeira parte tem umas coisas bem bobas, já a segunda foram 3 episódios maravilhosos com um casal perfeito e a da terceira esperava um pouco mais porém acabei gostando por conta da protagonista. Recomendo assistir só esses episódios: 3, 4 e 5.

Provavelmente irei acabar revendo várias vezes mais pelo meu casal yura e namho do que pelo outros personagens. Vale toda a pena, foram diversos surtos atrás de surtos com cada cena deles. O que faltou na 1° e 3° história tem de sobra nessa, então significa que realmente poderiam ter feito algo mais nas outras. É impressionante como conseguiram fazer um trabalho incrível em só tres episódios, o casal yunam merecia ter um kdrama totalmente e apenas deles.

Super cute and I felt so represented as a teen myself!

The first story about Miyeon and ML was very fresh tbh!You don't really see a lot of talk about masturbation in shows nowadays, especially not in K-dramas!It was a nice suprise (though kinda gross obviously) to see something so underepresented play such a big role in the action. If im being honest, as a teenager going through this awkward and awakening stage in my life where I experience with myself and my sexuality, I very rarely see people talking about this with such ease. Other shows like Sex Education or Heartbreak High are usually very full on in your face, but this was a rather soft approach and it was kinda interesting seeing the mind of a teenage boy, even though it was weird at first. ML was trying to take back control of his life that was ruined by the constant need to be sexually engaging with himself, which again is not something you would see on a show for teens!They very rarely talk about the cons of masturbating as teenagers or masturbating at all tbh. Either way, very funny and genuine Gen Z dialogue, plus FL side story about stuggling with an addiction too was very relatable!Plus Miyeon never disapoints and the couple was cute in the end.
The 2nd mini story was by far my favorite. First of all Im a big fan of Ryeoun so seeing him here was a nice suprise!The ML and FL had so much chemistry and dear god how I related to FL's story! Honestly, being seen as conservative and being scared to make a move is so real!And the fake friends were literally the epitome of high school lmao! Once again the dialogue delivered very Gen Z vibes, most from FL. The kisses were so genuine, nothing like I've ever seen in a K-drama lol, Just his body was kinda impossible for a teen, athlete or not haha but bonus ig. Loved everything about this mini story!The FL and ML's gay friend was a nice touch too, didn't feel forced or anything!I kinda wanted to see her gf though.
Now the 3rd story started off well ig, but then...well...eh...ruined the 10/10 score. FL story was real once again, wanting to loose weight because of insecurities and not being able to turn down food :( felt that in my soul. Nevertheless, both the MLs were bland and weird asf. The American wannabe had a weird ass finger fetish and the idol was just a loser. After FL heard what Idol ML said about her I thought she was gonna be smart and call it quits with men but ig noooo she had to be the bigger person "because good people never step lower than their enemies" blah blah blah shit. She's better than me, cus me personally I would have NOT let that slide. Kinda wished she would love herself in the end instead of relying on ppl again, cus I felt that kinda defeated the point of the mini story?
In conclusion, this drama represented teens perfectly in my experience, I would watch again and I would reccomend to any teens out there cus I feel like this might not be the best for adults. It's too silly and ig too "problematic" except for the 2nd couple. But screw those ppl, cus this drama is cute and I wished it was longer.
Miyeon slayed. <3

This is strictly about Eps. 3-5 (GO WATCH NOW!)

I was hesitant to watch this show because A.) I do not normally watch web dramas and B.) I like committing to completing the dramas I watch, I didn't want to skip around. HOWEVER, I just could not resist this drama, it was everywhere on all my social media feeds so eventually I just gave in.

I tried watching episodes 1-2 and 6-7, but I could not get into the first story line and I had already spoiled the third story for myself out of excitement and it left me disappointed. Taking all of this into account I decided to just check out the middle episodes to see what all the hype was about and I ended up thoroughly enjoying it.

What was so good about it?

1. Friends to couple done right! The two main leads were soooo cute and likable and their transition into liking each other wasn't awkward or lacking in any way.
2. It was realistic, in that unlike other school based dramas where anything over a rating of PG-13 is never mentioned or acknowledged, here it was embraced. This drama approached these subjects in a hilarious and relatable way that I found charming rather than harsh or unpleasant.
3.I loved that there was no mean second lead female and instead the FL made a new friend that added much more to the story.
4. The FL held conservative views on the physicalities of being in a romantic relationship and stuck to her beliefs until the end. I liked that she didn't change (not that otherwise thinking is wrong), but I like that she was confident enough to follow what she felt and go at her own pace it was a refreshing take.
5. KIM NAM HO, so fine, so charismatic, and in the end so adorable. What he said in the end to the FL's question had me screaming!!! I felt like I had to rewatch everything again to re-analyze their interactions. The amount of times I replayed that single scene, it was endless....


If you need a quick drama fix, just want to kick back and embrace the quirks of hilarious high school love, this is the one for you. Its endearing and warrants more episodes, I am sad that the story was only 3 episodes long and not even its own singular drama. I hope they make a remake with more episodes or something similar. I also expect to see more main lead roles from both Yoon Hwan (Kim Nam Ho) and Jo Yoo Jung (Ban Yu Ra).



The only slightly irritating thing that had a little redemption:

Ban Yu Ra (FL)'s "bestfriend," Kang Da Hyun was so irritatingly 'innocent,' tbh it felt like mostly an act. What kind of friend does that? But also Kang Da Hyun's pushy-ness to double date and have the FL take pics of her kissing her ex-boyfriend. These situations made me want to claw at the screen. I understand that everyone has the right to their happiness and like good for her for finding someone she loves, but it was mostly at the expense of Ban Yu Ra. I was so glad that FL took a break from her supposed BFF at the end, and expressed how uncomfortable she felt. I wish that KDH would have come to FL first and told her everything because her having to find that out on accident was probably more hurtful. KDH would have been a good character and likable if it didn't feel like she was purposefully being naive and aggravatingly irreproachable.

Awesome as a mini-drama!

1st story (ep 1-2): 8.5
2nd story (ep 3-5): 9.5
3rd story (ep 6-7): 9
If i rewatch this show, will rewatch only for the 2nd story. But the other dramas are not bad either. They're good too. These dramas focused on some uncommon sensitive issues of teenagers in a very subtle way. The 2nd story had the perfect blend of romance and comedy. Wish there was a 16-ep drama about this couple. Other two stories did not have much romance element but watching them was fun as well. Also, I'm a very impatient person, can't keep watching slow stories. All stories in this drama were quite fast. Do watch it if you are also into fast-paced drama and romcoms!

Eu fui com tudo nesse k-drama por ser de high school, e quem me conhece sabe que sou cadelinha desse estilo. No entanto, o que encontrei no primeiro episódio não me pegou.

Jae Min é viciado em masturbação, mas quando ouve seu interesse amoroso falando como tem repulsa dos meninos que praticam isso, é a motivação necessária para que o convença a parar. Assim, ele entra para um grupo anti-masturbação que tem como meta chegar ao 100° dia sem a prática, e enquanto isso, tenta conquistar a Ye Kyung.

Foi interessante ver a Coreia arriscando num roteiro com tema mais sexual e isso conta demais, porém, esses dois primeiros episódios foram no estilo 'não me importo nem um pouco', ainda mais que achei os personagens sem carisma e não vi o propósito.

Já não posso dizer a mesma coisa do próximo casal. MELDEUS!! Yu Ra é uma menina conservadora que não deixou seu ex-namorado passar além dos beijinhos e por isso o namoro acabou. Agora, ele começa um relacionamento com sua melhor amiga e isso a deixa puta da vida, levando-a a pedir que seu melhor amigo, Nam Ho, finja ser seu namorado. As coisas avançam por meio de muita chantagem, o que é bem engraçadinho de acompanhar, além de vermos como a amizade deles surgiu.

Eu amo plot de amigos que se apaixonam!!! E fui muito bem servida nos episódios 3 a 5, que delícia meldeus! Nam Ho e Yu Ra são fofos além da conta, e ela vai gradualmente se apaixonando por ele enquanto precisam fingir tanto. As mãos dadas, o primeiro beijo, a intenção de fazer algo a mais quando estão sozinhos, enquanto isso tudo vai mexendo com seu ponto de vista conservador da Yu Ra estando dentro de um relacionamento. Há um grande plot twist (reviravolta) que me fez gritar demais. E que sabor!! Tô viciada nesses 3 episódios.

A última história é a da Na Eun, que nunca teve um namorado, é gorda e é sempre maltratada na escola por bullying. Ao receber uma carta anônima, Na Eun começa a desconfiar de possíveis rapazes da turma que poderiam ser seu admirador secreto, e isso a faz se aproximar de Kang Joo, um astro kpop que é da sua turma.

Entre segredos e descobertas, eu gostei muito de como a Na Eun vai ser dismestificando do fato de ser gorda. Apesar de lutar com a balança e ser criticada por isso, é a carta anônima que mostra como ela é bonita exatamente como é. Os dois últimos episódios não me agradaram muito, mas curti demais o desfecho.

No geral, foi um drama que mais desgostei do que curti, salvando-se apenas menos da metade da história. No entanto, fica a dica para quem gosta de dramas mais levinho e despretencioso.

CUTE and NOT bad... LIGHT

The stories were pretty cute! Another light series to add - extremely short series with 3 different scenarios~

Personally, I think they were all pretty good in their own way - some of them may have not ended how one may have imagined or wanted but still had good endings.

Really young romance/crushes, and realistic problems that are definitely relatable.

Great choice on the actors/actresses! All played their parts well and were adorable! Honestly gave such a nostalgic feeling - leaving missing school love, friends, and just youthful memories!

Wouldn't say this is a MUST watch but another wouldn't mind leaving behind the background type and lightly watching.

Short, Slightly No-BS Web Drama

The plot is about students going through puberty and the desires and intense emotions they go through in this stage of their lives (high school). There are three main stories for this: (1) A guy having a masturbation addiction; (2) Two childhood friends & neighbors who know nothing about sex and relationships with the female lead being a conservative and; (3) A chubby female lead battling discrimination from her family, school teachers & batch mates all the while having her go through wanting to experience romantic love & dating despite all the discrimination she goes through.

I think the best story among the three is the 2nd one, cliched but it was executed the best among all. I have issues with the 1st and 3rd one because they have not really addressed the issue as much as I expected. With the 1st story, they focused too much on the addiction but it still somehow tells viewers that "This is taboo; this is TOTALLY NOT OK," when it is a natural part of life. What I admire about this first story though, is the no-BS. They went straight for it. Talking about these things are AGE APPROPRIATE already for high schoolers. For the 3rd one, I am most mad about the fact that it still shows the grown-ups excuse it. It isn't ok, the chubby girl does not always have to pay the price. She is the victim; there should still be an ending where she wins, not where she still has to "tolerate & accept" things to be that way. I hope they explore this better and someone breaks the mold someday.

Drôle

J'ai beaucoup rit avec ces quelques épisodes. C'est léger, frais , ce n'est pas le drama du siècle mais ça se laisse regarder. Les différents sujets sont abordés sans tabous ce qui est assez rare.On a le droit à un jeune homme qui est addict à la masturbation et découvre qu'il est loin d'être le seul, une jeune femme qui se fait larguer parce qu'elle n'aime pas embrassé son petit ami (elle est pudique et donc traitée de fille coincée) et une jeune femme en surpoids maltraitée par ses camarades mais qui découvre qu'avant d'essayer de plaire aux autres elle doit se plaire à elle même.
Mon histoire préférée est celle du milieu, qui dure sur 3 épisodes avec la jeune fille coincée qui découvrira que le problème ne vient pas d'elle mais du regard des autres et qu'elle n'était pas avec la bonne personne.

Romance adolescente

Três histórias de romance adolescente com finais diferentes.

O que mais gostei da primeira foi mostrar que a pornografia e masturbação só trazem malefícios. E a declaração de amor do prota foi muito criativa e fofa. Mas foi claro que a personagem da Miyeon o colocou na friendzone, ela me transmitiu a vibe da Oh Soo Ah de Itaewon Class "no futuro, se você ficar melhor ao meu ver, talvez eu fico com você".

A segunda história foi a minha favorita, foi como ver um dorama da música You Belong With Me da Taylor Swift haha
A química entre os protas era maravilhosa, e as imaginações da moça eram demais kkkk
Fiquei encantada pelo ator Ryeoun em 18 Again, e nesse drama me apaixonei mais ainda!

A terceira história foi muito boa, gostei da personagem principal e amei o fato de enfatizar que amor próprio em primeiro lugar! Mas por não terem a colocado com um par romântico só reforça a ideia de que pessoas acima do peso não podem namorar uma pessoa popular, que são vistos como bons amigos. Poderiam ter colocado um terceiro personagem no final onde estivesse realmente interessado nela romanticamente.

GIVE A WHOLE SHOW TO THE SECOND COUPLE ASAP

I started this after I watch a video in TikTok with Yu Ra and Nam Ho, aka the second couple, and i loved their episodes.
I didnt know that they were three seperate storylines so when i watched the first two episodes i was confused, i thought i started a different drama, but quickly i release that the next story was about the couple i started the drama in the first place.

First couple wasnt really interesting to me. The whole masturbate storyline wasnt my thing and the fact that everything happened so fast didnt help it either, the characters werent anything special and i didnt like their chemistry either, if i had started this drama blind, i would have deffinatly drop it, but gladly i knew for the second couple. I gave 5.5 to the first couple, the storyline probably deserved less.

Now lets go to the second couple and the NVP of this show. I believe they deserve their own drama and i am glad they got 3 episodes and not 2 like the others. Their chemistry was out of this place and i developed a huge crush for Nam Ho. They treated this storyline excellent and i would love to see more of them (i need the actors in another show together). I dont have much to say just watch this drama for them (if you dont want to waste your time just watch episodes 3,4 and 5 aka their story) I gave them a 9.5 just because they really needed to have better communication (friends to lovers and fake romance trope, you dont need to know anything else WATCH THEIR STORY ASAP).

The third storyline was kinda suprising. After the second couple the bar when really high, so i had little expectations for the third couple and i was right. It wasnt a bad story, but some things were just not right, the whole J thing and the way they treated the girl because she had more weight and i am not talking about the characters, i understand that the plotline was about her being insulted about her weight at times, i dont like that they writers didnt treat her equally to the rest of the main girls (if you watch this you will understand what i mean) It wasnt a bad story and i kinda liked the ending (she loved herself first) but i cant say i really liked it. I gave this a 7, the storyline was decent.

Even tho i only enjoyed the second couple i have to say that it was a raw drama, it talk about things that most dramas dont even mention and the way they portrait love without a filter was really cool, the kisses were so damn good and they didnt try to hide the truth like most dramas do, they talked about sex etc openly. I really like that i watched a drama that didnt hide the truth and the main characters were high schoolers too.

Not a bad drama, but the was second couple made it worth watching.
