Why Did You Come to My House (2022)

Short, Light-hearted, No conflicts

Soundtrack #1 is like any other typical Romance drama, what's special about it is that it's only a few hours long, and they get straight to the point without beating around the bushes, there weren't any conflicts or misunderstandings between the two, which doesn't cause much stress to people who like binge watching. Although it's like any other friends to lovers trope, it feels more realistic and isn't all that cliche.

The casts for this amazing production fits just right.
Han So Hee portraying as the Female lead, ( Independent, strong, straightforward ) they really fits her, and as for Park Hyung-sik portraying as the Male lead, ( Kind, Soft-hearted, caring ) he really looks sweet like the script.

There weren't any boring scenes throughout the entire production so you don't have to skip any parts because they get straight to the point.

Although, it was just a mishap with the cast, Han So Hee seems to struggle a little while acting in her role, as someone who watched every little detail and parts that she acted in, she sort of made a mistake as a professional. But as for the rest, her actings were great.

There weren't any misunderstandings between the two leads like I've mentioned before, so watching this was quite wholesome, no stressing out in place of the female or male lead, no meaningless misunderstandings to waste your time. I am satisfied with how the drama ended, no leaving hangcliffers, ended in a wholesome way.

Although, it's a short drama, a lot of OSTs in it, and they are pretty good, ngl.

So, if you're looking for some light-hearted romance with no stressing over it, and short, easy to binge watch, this is for you, definitely recommended from me.

Warm & cozy watch!

It's a short, warm and cozy romcom, something that you can easily binge watch on a cold night curled up with a cup of coffee. It has one of my fav kdrama trope of 'childhood friends to lovers' trope! And not every show does it nicely, but this one surely did!

Story is predictable but the beauty lies in the coziness of the scenes, cinematography is beautiful... The cycle scene and the scenes in the restaurant are just beautiful to look at!

Since it is a simple story, there are not many scenes to show off their acting skills, but what they got, they did best.

As wholesome as K-dramas get

I need more K-drama shorts like this one — it was brief and nicely written and was enough to hook and invest me into the characters. There were very few things happening and very few involved, and some days, we just need something as light and sweet as this. It was direct to the point, and being short, had little to no plotholes since everything was a plot device to move the story forward.

(spoiler ahead)
My favorite detail is probably how Eun Soo was the one to confess her feelings first and how she said she couldn't swallow it like how Sun Woo has been doing all this time. I liked it because it was a nod to a statement she made in the first episode when she was wondering about unrequited love and why people don't just blurt out their feelings when they like someone. The details goes to show how different their personalities and characters are, and also adds to the fact that they were consistent in the characters established in the beginning.

It was a carefully written story and as it should be since it was so short! Imagine ruining a series that literally had 4 episodes. Careful thought and consideration were noticeably invested into the show and it's a wonderful comfort show that one could simply watch over and over again.

I hope we get more shows like this moving forward — short, sweet, and comforting, like a shorter version of Hometown Cha-cha-cha or Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo.

I should probably stop watching these 3 hour long kdrama movies. It seems like they all (at least the ones I've seen) have the same 2 minute long happy ending. One of the main reasons I still watch kdramas is that they often have long & satisfying endings. This despite being only 3 hours long felt a bit draggy & yet we've still gotten the usual 2 minute ending!

If I ignore the ending thing, this drama is alright to watch, at least if there is nothing else in your backlog. The OTP interactions were quite cute, though highly unrealistic for a friends to lovers romance.
In this genre the chemistry between the leads is key, but I feel that could've been better. The plot is alright, though there is no innovation here, none whatsoever.

There is a love triangle, but luckily there was no time to develop that, so it fizzled out without becoming offensive.

Also the OST is quite nice, however it's strangely underutilized. It's like they went ahead and commissioned some great tunes, but the mixing/editing in the drama is not taking full use of them. Just listen to the OST separately on YT & you'll know what I mean..

The picture is very nice, the cinematographer did a great job.

Speaking of 3 hour long kdrama movies. You Drive Me Crazy (https://mydramalist.com/28300-you-drive-me-crazy) is a very similar story with an extremely similar plot sequencing, but it's like 10 times more exciting.

Aesthetically pleasing and comfort one-sided-love trope

This epic slow burn romance is such a comfort zone. I feel like I've been wrapped in a comfy cotton blanket.

The rhythm of the story is like walking on tiptoes. The one that doesn't give an alarming vibe but instead calming as the story moves smoothly.

Ep 1 was plain and I didn't really get the chemistry between the leads. It's starting to get interesting at ep. 3, I can feel their strong bond. By the end of ep. 4 I felt connected to the story. It was painful and beautiful. Like I had an unrequited love and the feeling lingered with me.

In the end, we can understand why the man lead did what he did. Because his love is unconditionally.

I like that they make it short. It's perfect this way. It doesn't feel dragged or too long, just enough of proportion.

Friends or Lovers

Short and sweet

Likes
1. "Best friends turned lovers" is my second fave trope. I loved best friends Sunwoo and Eunsoo and their relationship. Han Sohee/Eunsoo is so pretty, I cant imagine how Sunwoo didnt do anything after being friends for 19 years. Likewise, I cant believe Eunsoo didnt see how great Sunwoo is to her or that he has been in love with her for years. I guess sometimes being friends for too long one can forget or dont realize what they have until it's gone.
2. 4 episodes at 45mins per episode made this easy to binge watch at one go.
3 i also loved the overall vibe, the clothes, the setting, the house, the colors.
4. Park Hyung Sik plays almost similar role to his role in Happiness, which is the best guy friend who pines for his pretty best friend for years.
5. My fave scenes are when they slept side by side, when Sunwoo left for the army and Eunsoo broke down in tears, when Sunwoo asked Wooil if Eunsoo enjoyed the wine, when Eunsoo cried after Sunwoo leaves on a bus, and the flower shop scene when they met again.

Dislikes
1. I loved the songs but I thought there were too many songs and not one made a huge impact. I also expected that we will get to hear Eunsoo's songs for Jayjun and Taeyoon but we didnt hear them at all.
2. The editing for some scenes are abrupt and the music gets cut off.
3. We spent 3 eps seeing Sunwoo in love with Eunsoo but only one with Eunsoo. Wished they added an extra 30 mins so we could have seen her side.

Rating: 8.5/10

Short & Simple yet Heartwarming

"Soundtrack #1" - 9/10
It's a feel-good drama series. The storyline is quite short & simple yet so cute & heartwarming. It shows a one-sided affection that can leave us feeling of love, pain, attraction, infatuation, care, jealousy, grief and shy. The hasitation of 'unrequited love of best-friends' who are together for almost 19-20 years is clearly shown. As seeing 3 ep. Sunwoo in love with Eunsoo but only 1 ep. with Eunsoo. I wish we could have seen her side. The cinematography create the romantic ambience, made it realistic, full of emotions and very entertaining. I like how they align the bonus tracks. Seo In-guk as JayJun special appearance is nice. The ML & FL look perfect together! You can binge watch.

The music and soundtracks really made the ambience.

The only drawback is its too short, not at all rushed but only 4 epidodes, wanted too see bit more.? =-1

I will definitely recommend it. ?

If your best friend looks like Han So-Hee you too would fall in love.

"Best Friends to Lovers" trope portrayed in a way that doesn't make you cringe. It's everything you expect and as predictable as they come.

Its a web series that knows what it is, knows what it wants to achieve and doesn't re-invent the genre. It ticks all the right boxes and does it well. Will it leave you speechless? No. Will it leave you wanting more? No. By the first few minutes you know exactly how it will playout and what character archetypes it will have.

It's as predictable as they come yet it managed to be enjoyable and charming series. What really helps this show is that its only 4 episodes long at 45min each episode. Nothing is overly played out, its straight to the point and has almost no sub plots. It truly focuses on its two protagonists and their relationship.

I recommend it to anyone looking for a quick binge or anyone waiting for a series to come out and need something to watch in the meantime.

I wish it would have been longer

They went all out with the aesthetics for this one! It was a beautiful looking drama (kinda reminiscent of the soft, dreamy feel of Love Alarm and Nevertheless) and with a ridiculously good looking main couple.

Super chill vibes and quite interesting use of silence and pauses, both with the music cutting out at pivotal moments and also letting the characters reflect in moments of quiet that somehow made them more poignant. Which, if you consider this show is all about music, from the name to the plot, using sound in such an understated way to enhance the storytelling was such a smart choice.

Sweet Drama

Not much needs to be said about this drama. It is a short, sweet story.
Here it is shown very clearly what it is like to have a one-sided love for a very long time and what friendship really means.
In this drama we see how both characters suffer and in the end we get exactly what we want to see. They confess their feelings to each other and become happy.. And that's exactly what you can expect from this drama. It is not meant to be complicated.

I liked this drama and the actors did a good job. It fulfills exactly what I wanted to see. That's why this drama gets 10 stars from me.

Dos mini-dramas ele realmente é o #1!

Quando assisti o primeiro episódio, confesso que não me empolguei tanto. Achei o ritmo do drama bem lento. Depois entendi que era a dinâmica do enredo mesmo. Quiseram nos mostrar o "passo a passo", a transição dessa relação tão sólida de amizade para amor. São apenas poucos episódios, mas super bem desenvolvidos e construídos, tão bem feitos, que parece que assistimos a um drama com oito episódios e não quatro. Atuação, química, fotografia, desenvolvimento e OST, foram requisitos onde o drama arrasou!

E o final? Contém spoilers! ⚠️

Gostei muito que trouxeram o episódio final focado apenas na perspectiva dela, assim pudemos acompanhar todo o processo de descoberta da protagonista, seus medos, percepções, dúvidas, até chegar no ponto alto que foi a coragem dela em se abrir para ele, mesmo sem ter certeza de que ele ainda tinha sentimentos por ela e se ainda estaria aberto à essa relação. E falando em relação... Que linda a forma como ela começa. A cena em que ele dá uma resposta à declaração dela completando a música que ela compôs com: "Por favor, fique ao meu lado, eu te amo". É uma das mais lindas e delicadas declarações
que eu vi nos últimos doramas. A forma como foi feita, trazendo a temática da composição musical, os sentimentos, cenografia (com a neve caindo lá fora), tudo foi muito lindo!

? Eu recomendo?

Sim! Tenha em mente que este é um dorama mais "maduro", mais focado nos sentimentos, percepções e como essa transição de amizade para amor, podem acontecer, com todas as suas nuances. Ele funciona bem para quem quer dar um tempo de comédias românticas, quem busca algo com qualidade, mas que seja rápido de assistir, ressacas doramescas, e assim por diante. Dos minis-dramas que já assisti, ele com certeza reina absoluto, no #1 lugar.
