Sing My Crush (2023)

The wind that blows me into your love

A happy-to-cried-with kind of drama. For subjective reasoning, they literally made me into tears ever since the pilot episode. I just love it when I find myself indulging in a series that talks about the romance between two individuals with sincerity and a little bit of tension roaming between them. The main couple’s love story may have taken too slow to progress but one thing is guaranteed; they became each other’s person of support.

Im Han Tae is another Oppa that added to my favorite list. He got the masculine vibes of a teenager who is both hot and cute. His smiles and positivity are so breathtaking. People can literally be their best version of themselves when they are wearing a smile on their faces. I want someone like Im Han Tae who will always be on your side.

On the contrary, Han Baram’s soft personality led other people to take advantage of him. He is so fragile that I even dislike him for letting his old music teacher plagiarize his song. These episodes were an eye sore to me. His first love actually wins my irritation and frustration. Good thing that they actually had a nice closure to settle the past and the present issues between them.

Light BLs with no dramatic plot twists and toxic characters are easily been tagged as my favorite genres nowadays. Sing My Crush is another drama that gives me butterflies that are solid and demure. There may be some flaws in the show but the critical thing is that I enjoyed the overall outcome. Thank you for bringing a genuine and appealing love story that made me once again, fall in love with the concept of love.

Я следую за ветром. Этот Ветер был прекрасен.

Я в любви. Точно уходит в любимые без любых но, не смотря на флэшбеки. В чем флэшбек? Кто смотрел, тот наверное поймал себя на мысли, что история и прошлое гг-я очень похожа на " Счастливый конец" (Дорама Happy Merry Ending) Посмотрела я уже три раза. Оригинал, англ. субтитры и русские субтитры. Сюжет идеальный по темпу, без лишнего и фокус исключительно на главных героях. Еще, мое самое любимое - это озвучка мыслей. Вот низкий поклон за это Кореи, то что ни всегда озвучивают мысли. Музыка. Давайте, я не сразу скажу об актерах, и что осты исполнены в живую гг-ем. ОСТы от прекрасных JUST B и BLITZERS. Как стэн ребят, для меня это еще один подарок в этой дораме. Теперь об актерах. Чан До Юн. Я знаю его уже очень давно, его историю как трейни, так и актера. Я видела его в разных ролях и честно, я не ожидала такой роли. Этот парень живет за каждого своего персонажа. Сон Хён У , тоже не исключение. Можно было село смотреть с выключенным звукам, чтобы понять все эмоции происходящие на экране. Корея еще раз доказала, насколько четко они знают сценарий и характер героев, я так же проводя кастинг, насколько тот или иной актер справится. Здесь сто процентное попадание снова. А насколько мальчики за 25 , показали школьников - превосходно, я даже пару раз лезла в биографию, чтобы уточнить возраст актеров. Отлично сыграно, отличная музыка, а этот поцелуй. Это было настолько красиво, чувственно, действительно поцелуй двух любящих людей. Психологические моменты я пропущу, чтобы особо не грузить, но тот кто вредил, словил бумеранг. Это на заметку, что бумеранг не возвращается. Возвращается, просто порой кому-то еще не долетел. Я реально влюбилась в эту дораму. Пойте вместе с Ветром. А я обязательно пересмотрю это еще много много раз.

Beautifully filmed autumnal & sweet BL story

The most outstanding aspect of this simple and sweet BL story is its production. I found the filmmaking amazing: there were so many beautiful autumnal sceneries. It made the romantic moments so pretty, you can feel the care in the directing of the actors. Some scenes that could have felt very mundane became in fact really stunning. The fashion in this series was also very on point. There were a lot of pieces of clothes (sweaters, pullovers, accessories) that I would love to have...In addition to being mesmerized by the clothing, I quie enjoyed the soundtrack. Even if the main song was a bit overused, it was understandable given how central it was to the plot.

The writing was a bit weaker compared to the production value. There were too many flashbacks which made it seem like they screenwriter and director were trying to fill time. I enjoyed a lot all the fluff and cute sequences...Despite some backtracking in the relationship in the second half, seemingly to again add a bit of content and act as filler, but not necessarily making sense with what was known of the long established relationship between the main characters.

I enjoyed the acting. The two main leads managed to make their chemistry very believable. Their kissing scenes were lovely and the evolution of their intimacy made sense and was convincing. The antagonist was properly a jerk and the actor who played the role made my blood boil which is a good sign as it was clearly the point.

I would recommend this to people looking for a cute BL series with a friends-to-lovers trope as well as in the youth and music genres. It is not super deep or revolutionary but very enjoyable to watch thanks to the amazing filmmaking and fashion. A feast for the eyes with a lot of fluff.

Sweet friends to lovers.

Muy lindo. Los personajes principales me parece que tienen muy buena química.
Las canciones me encantaron, la voz de Do Yoon es preciosa (Una Carat aqui)
Ambos hicieron un excelente trabajo.
En cuanto a los personajes secundarios, nada que sea relevante, solo estan ahí.
La historia es muy simple pero muy dulce no hay giros en la trama.

Refreshing and THANK GOD - THERE'S MORE THAN ONE SONG!!!

Loved this one. Agree with others - pacing is just right. Typical Korean BL - they still treat kissing as almost taboo and therefore - limited. That's okay. Still handled well.

Love all the characters including, the evil one. He stays perfectly sewer dwelling throughout. I would hate to know who else he took advantage of during his teaching years before trying to debut himself. Chemistry is good with all the main characters - love it. Little family. People taking care of each other and looking out for each other.

Another reviewer made reference to - understandably - Han Ba Ram misunderstanding both characters touchy feely-ness being confusing. Been there. I am so concerned about not understanding those moments - I usually avoid being touched! And, avoid too much touch/affection with people I don't know.

And, I did love Im Han Tae's growth as he slowly realized how much he grew to love Ba Ram. First, you don't think about it. Then, you deflect - Naw...I'm not falling for him...then, you finally admit you love them and can't be without them.

Love that there is more than one song. And, the main song is never played fully as the series goes on. The director and those involved pay attention to what the viewers notice and appreciate. Agree that this is a OST worth owning.

Took a rewatch, but this one grew on me

The first time I watched this show, I liked it but didn't like looove it, but I kept thinking about it and gave it a second shot. For whatever reason, I absolutely loved it!

The chemistry between the two main leads was really awesome, love an angsty friends to lover trope. The music was really great, and I liked that it took an espied or two for Im Han Tae to be like yeah okay, I like Han Ba Ram even though you could see it in his eyes like the whole show. I was honestly a little surprised that Im Han Tae wasn't the one to confess, cause man was in love.

My biggest complaint with this show though is that the "bad guy," Sangin, just like disappears. I really liked the conflict with him stealing Han Ba Ram's song and just being a total creep, but when he shows up drunk and is all gross with Han Ba Ram, and then disappears. I just feel that there should've been more of a resolution there or he should've shown up at least one more time. Also, the weird make-out cut scene was a little random in the last episode; like I get the idea, it just felt really random and just like oh okay they're making out now.

But I really liked it and will probably watch again!

a fluffy bl series that warms my heart

this is the first time for me to write a review. this series deserves more love!! it's is a very refreshing watch and i will surely go back to this when i want to feel butterflies. the chemistry of the main couple felt very natural and heart-fluttering. it doesn't have an overly-complicated conflict so it's a very easy watch which makes it just overall wholesome. it's really like the wind - one that blows softly; cool but somehow comforting as it makes you feel the warmth of the heart. it's like taking a bite of a soft white marshmallow. it's like walking on fluffy clouds. i especially like the acting and visuals here. the pace is also good. it didn't feel rushed. i wish this has more episodes or another season though because it's THAT good! this is gonna be on my top kbl series of all time.

A MASTERPIECE

I'm not even exaggerating when I say this is one of my favorite dramas I've ever seen. I couldn't stop watching it once I started. Like I was feeling super depressed today and now I'm so happy? I'm cured! this is a miracle you guys

My likes ♡
- Today I realized that I LOVE a "BFF's who love each other and would walk to the end of the earth for each other" trope. Their friendship was soo cute I couldn't stop smiling. The acts of service UGHHH ♡

- Hantae is hilarious and Son Hyun Woo did such a good job omg. He has such a silly personality, the angst didn't even stress me out that much because of the comedic relief he brought to the show. My fav part was when he started dancing in front of the CEO(?) of the music company he was trying to pitch their music to. I've never seen anything with Son Hyun Woo in it but I'm going to look for his other work because he's such a good actor imo, his acting is so natural. Baram is also so adorable and while he was kind of a pushover, it kinda worked for his character and it was necessary for the angst but he ended up showing some character development later on.

- I'm such a sensitive person that I can't watch dramas or anything that has too much angst or if it has a sad ending. I won't finish it because the sadness I get affects me for days lmaoo (I refuse to watch Twenty Five Twenty One). While there was a good amount of angst (misunderstandings galore), it never felt like it was too much or going overboard and there was never a time where I felt like they just added it in out of nowhere just for the sake of having angst.

- The pacing was great imo! I never once felt bored or felt the need to skip through episodes. It also didn't feel rushed despite it only being 8 episodes and I love that they "slowly" (for a BL kdrama lol) developed their relationship from the beginning. By slow, I mean that they didn't just suddenly have one of the characters develop feelings out of nowhere in the second to last episode but then he's in denial for the rest of the episode and most of the final one and then they squeeze all of the affection into the last 2 minutes. They were affectionate with each other from the beginning which I LOVED but also, the last episode was so cute UGH the entire episode was just fluff and happiness. They still had their silly dynamic from when they were just friends and omg their chemistry was insane.

- There were little details that weren't super obvious that were so cute. i.e the cat and dog pillows that represent each other and they both sleep with them in their beds ): and the chore board and the pictures of them from when they met until now... crying

- The friends were also super cute and I loved their dynamic. also this is really random but did anyone else find Jeong Pal's voice super satisfying? Like ASMR lol

- OH also, the song that they kept playing was actually really good! like I added it to my playlist lol.

Dislikes:
- Actually nothing. Like I'm being serious, I can't think of anything lol.

I am most definitely biased because this checked all of my boxes for a drama that I'll love (I love dramas that are 90% fluff and cuteness that aren't going to mentally scar me) and you may think that giving 10 stars is going overboard but I stand by my opinion !!! if you're looking for a drama that's easy to watch and is super cute, you should definitely check this out !!!

Sweet and Simple with a side of Cringe

This is the story about a sweet introverted boy who broke his guitar, got turned down by his long time crush in a pretty cruel way and to top it off he attracted an obsessed guy who kind of lacks boundaries extrovert... but in a cute way.

After that they went on a sweet journey of friendship and music... plus a bunch of other stuff... There is love, awkward kisses, less awkward kisses... Mediocre to good acting (sometimes in the same person), some drama and a whole lot of scenes (ok 2 or 3) with a guy dramatically pulling empty luggage and a side of cringe.

The friendships in this are really nice, so is the mother, our villain is just awful and not even cute but most of all this is a fluffy orangey yellow lighting drama with mostly fluff and just enough drama to give it a story beyond the fluff... Easy to watch, easy to binge and had it not been for some of the over the top cringe I may even have rated it higher.

P.S: The styling and most of the acting preformed by of our extrovert lead was just awful the first episode, luckily it gets better... But Introverted boy rocks the introverted thing from start to finish.

Um dos melhores KBLs que eu ja vi!!!

Esse vai ser um review bem curto porque não tenho praticamente nada para criticar, somente elogiar essa obra tão boa e tão gratificante de assistir.
Esse BL me emocionou de tantas formas que eu quase não terminei ele pra não ficar com aquele sentimento de saudades, ele é tão perfeito, tão aconchegante, tão calorosa que me fez ter arrepios.
Assistam sem preocupação, ele vai te emocionar do início ao fim, vai te trazer um conforto enorme, os personagens são muito bons e eu amei a atuação deles, é definitivamente um BL que poderia ter 50 temporadas e eu assistiria a todas.
