Weather Forecast Love (2023)

Too Short, Chemistry is lacking, handsome actors

This drama is too short and the storyline is all over the place. While I wouldn't say it is outright a bad drama, the beginning isn't strong enough to where I cared to get the know the pair and their struggle. They really shouldvé put all the high school scenes before the college scenes, and allowed for longer episodes.

The side characters are decent. They don't stand out much but they're nice. The chemistry of the main couple is a little bland. I don't really understand the great reviews here to be frank. I hoped there would be more time for the two to get warm and lovely so the viewer cared more for the outcome.

I don't recommend this watch unless you feel like watching a confusing and weak basketball related Korean BL drama. I know Ill forget almost everything about this really soon. I do think the actors have a lot to show, and the cinematography was good.

No high stakes from anyone and not a pass

Fluffy and non toxic.

Dohyun. I give him some props for the way he is open and vulnerable and consistent. I like the characher.

Also bonus points for actors having their own interests and maintaining their individual character even without the other.

I realize that fluffy and feel good dramas do get on top of my watch list.

Someone said that you should not miss out on this.

That is how I feel. It is short, sweet and not a pass. The storyline is not complex some things are left superficial but the chemistry is there.

I cannot see you regret watching it.

An 8 for the sheer rewatchability of it all

This was so cute. Also, were they hinting at a sequel with the best friend and the mystery (potential?) love interest? That was random if they weren't.

I couldn't stand the music, I'm sorry, every time that lady started singing I just wanted to scream. Idk why, it's the first time I find the music so distracting and jarring. I don't think I've ever rated the music so low.

The acting was ok! I liked it. The two main leads were great onscreen together, you could feel the tension - especially at the beginning. The guy playing Dong Wook also had such expressive eyes, they were so beautiful. I think I commented on one of the episodes that he reminds me of a deer, and I stand by that. They're both so pretty.

The story was a little bit over the place. With only eight episodes, each no longer than 20 minutes, they should've stuck to a simpler storyline, without so much drama and turns (as I've said countless times: go the Our Dating Sim route!! Have barely any plot and embrace it!! It can be done well!). The start was too slow, and the ending felt too rushed, like they wanted to finish things up neatly and it just didn't work. There was also a LOT of misunderstandings and miscommunication throughout the series, and it was so frustrating to watch. And they were SO dramatic ('Get out of my house or I'll kill you'? Bro? Please chill, I beg you).

Ugh. I had such a good time watching, though. The good episodes were really good (and the bad were just... annoying I guess? Not bad enough to drag the score down too much). I'd rewatch this series, it's funny and entertaining overall. And I'll always be a sucker for short series, like 8 20 minute-long episodes? Yes please, I'll watch it all in a single evening.

About this drama Acting of the leads is really good. Chemistry between the leads, slow pacing and soft romance, Nice Ending, everything is good about this drama.

Honest speaking despite everything is really good I didn't find story too much memorable. But Really good for watching once. If I talk about story you can watch it without losing any interest. I love the Insomnia part. I thought Do-hyun will feel special when he found out it's only him who can put Dong-wook in ease and help him in sleeping but it turns out to be a clashing point. But they resolve it I am happy for that.

Still I don't like the fact that Korea bl are mini series. I want them to make longer series so I can watch more fluff. And If you are fan of BL must watch this drama for once. It's a good to go drama.

STRESSING SCHOOL LOVE STORY, BUT STILL GOOD

Korean BL has always had this skills on creating a romantic vibes in BLs ! which I hate because , I like it ! I feel it always, the camera angle, the editing damn ! I commend them for that !
The story is simple, both lead are afraid to admit their feelings and ended up hurting each other which is annoying! Like if I were Do Hyun I will make Dong Wook stop on being clingy when He is not sure if he likes me or not ! I felt horrible for Do Hyun here, he has every right to be angry with Dong Wook, nothing special here, its just Dong Wook came back after realizing that he really liked Do Hyun and since Do Hyun liked him from the start, he gave in ! which is just okay , story is easy to understand and on point, not rushed , it was complete, the actors did well, and that is enough, I think I would rewatch this one someday. The girl that was their friend is annoying by the way, sorry 😂 she is too noisy .. but yeah better KBL with 15-20 mins runtime than of 2020's , you can watch it if you just want to just be stressed and fall in love 🤣

One of the Best Named BLs Ever!

I must admit that this is one of the best named BL series ever. It has such an encompassing name that it is hard to forget. It is quite poetic. I just wish the actual series lived up to the title. Well, let me clarify that. It does; and yet, it does not. It is a breeze; I am just not so sure about the love. Admittedly, it is an intriguing story made unnecessarily complicated. This is a great series, unquestionably. It could have been a masterpiece, however. What it lacked was an impact. I enjoyed it but simply found the major characters too unrelatable in their stoicism.

Basketball & Sleep

Inspired by the Japanese I think, Koreans have been definitely upping their BL game recently. The dramas they release are getting better and better: the production values are higher and the stories they are telling are better written. This one is definitely one of the best BL to come out of Korea.

The story is nothing new: highschool friends see their feelings for each other grow but scared of the consequences, they separate. They meet again five years later and restart the relationship. Will they be more successful this time around?

The drama started surprisingly well. It was not the usual ugly korean webseries: the cinematography is excellent, the rain, the sunlight, the basketball field, the overall aesthetical impression is extraordinary. It is worth the watch just for that. But, fortunately there is more to it than just good looks. The story is well written: starting in the present and slowly uncovering their pas connection in a series of flashbacks which are not in chronological order and may confuse some. The actors had decent chemistry and their kissing scenes were really butterfly inducing which is so rare in K-dramas not only BLs!

Now for the reasons this is not getting a 10/10 from me. First and foremost: it is too short, there are so many things missing in this story. Insomnia was never really explained: why was he suffering from it. I really don't like it when the solution to a psychological problem is LOVE. I wish life was so easy! Another problem stemming from the previous one is lack of communication. It did create a slight conflict, kind of blink-and-you-miss-it which was solved by "I'm sorry! I love you!" Really?!? Main characters were not as likeable (one a liar and one naive) as they should have been but they are very human so...let's settle with reality! The only girl in the cast, was all kinds of annoying, loud, intrusive and a busybody. And the last but not least issue I have with this (I'm nitpicking here! LOL) is the very last scene: the cringefest! I am still shuddering while I'm writing this!

Well, all in all it is a nice binge watch, not too angsty, rather cute but too short!

Oh and I almost forgot a nod to TharnType and icecubes in the last episode.

I DID NOT EXPECT THIS SERIES TO BE THIS GOOD!?

SUCH A SIMPLE BUT SWEET BEAUTIFUL SERIES. Again, i dont really have any expectation for this series because this series is a bit short. Its only like 15-20 minutes per eps, BUT ITS GOOD. OMG IT WAS SO GOOD. And wow, im actually very VERY IMPRESSED with how this series turned out cuz i didn't prepare myself to like this series with my whole heart!!!! Truly what a wonderful experience. This series is very underrated istg, cuz no one talks about this series at all!

The plot
SUCH A REFRESHING AND UNIQUE PLOT. The plot consists of past and present plot which what i never really see in K-BL before so this alr make me feel impressed. Because even though we go back and forth through out the series, but it doesn't feel overwhelming at all. In fact its very clear and very easy to understand. This series has 2 background plot, high school and college WHICH IS PERFECT??? LIKE WHATTT. Its my favorite type of plot. I really love the plot sm, because we slowly discover new things about the couple like how they met and how they become friends before, through the back and forth plot which very fun and interesting. AND IM TRULY EMOTIONALLY INVESTED SM!! Because of their simplicity but also great execution, its truly one of the best series that ive ever watch. And to think that its a pretty short drama but the writer can make everything so good, so clear, understandable, but also captivating.. Its INSANE.

The chemistry
I think its alr proven how K-BL now has improved so much and they really working on the characters too. But because this is a short drama, i thought that it was gonna be a mediocre. BUT I WAS WRONG. The chemistry in this series is so good! And i still surprised how i got very emotionally invested and attached to the characters here in this drama. Its actually INSANE. LIKE TRULY INSANE!! I dont feel any awkward tension goin on, i mean there is awkward situations, but in a good way. The awkwardness make us, watchers, feel more about how the couple. Its just that good.

The production/The cast
This is what im completely surprised with. HELLO??? WHY IS THE PRODUCTION SO GOOD FOR SHORT DRAMA LIKE THIS?? Its very enjoyable and i dont see any bad production thing in this drama AT ALL. The soundtrack is pretty proper for a short drama, its just very good. And the cast as well LIKE WHATT THEY REALLY KNOW HOW TO ACT AND THEY'RE SO BEAUTIFUL TOO!! U can really feel deep down with the characters through their acting (esp when u are queer like my self :p) Im very very satisfied and entertained watching this drama sm! I love it!!

Fav moments
I LOVE HOW THEY PICTURE THE COUPLE'S CUTE INTERACTIONS. I LOVE EVERY SINGLE OF THAT MOMENTS. And i also love THE ENDING SM LIKE WHATTTTTTTTTTT STOP. ITS SO CUTE!!!! And i do belive there is gonna be a season 2 with the ending tho.. BUT IDK I MIGHT BE WRONG.

So far im very enjoy to watch this series, very heartwarming and beautiful. LOVE IT!!! 9/10

so good but so short

I didn't expected this series to be good. I saw the run time and my expectations were low. But I gave it a try anyways since it was short and I had nothing to lose, and I am glad that I did and now I am regretting that it is so short. This series has the plot to stretch it to a 16 episodes with 1 hour runtime. We need a depth of how they met in highschool, their story in highschool, the reason for Dong Wook insomnia, how they first fell in love, Dong wook's reason for the misunderstanding should also be expanded more, just because he saw Do Hyun laugh with someone who is not him is not a good excuse. We need dept. BUT STILL they managed to make it good. Even with the lack of dept and run time. I am actually surprised. Another thing I love about this is the skin ship. Actually a good kiss which is rare in KBL. I wasn't even expecting one or i was expecting a bad one, but they actually did pretty well. So applause to that. The actors did well. Kinda here a there more emotions is needed but otherwise okay. They had really chemistry with each other. And also I am looking forward to the romance of the 'second lead' since he didn't really do much to be even consider a second lead. So in conclusion this was good, But could have been better with more episodes. Still overall very good.

not the best, but not the worst

This was okay, I fast forward sometimes.

I love the chemistry and the tension, the gay panic too. The leads were good and a good pairing. But what was with the kissing scenes? I think the best one was the first one and it was okay. Such weird angles, if they don’t want to show the kiss or the actors doesn’t want to kiss, than don’t add it. It is just weird to watch. I found that weird since it didn’t really seems like fish kiss either.

I hate misunderstanding trope and I didn’t appreciate the story that much, also as always to short and we don’t see a lot of things with the relationship. I got tired of Korean BL, because now it annoys me how short it is… I only got a few ones I really love and I don’t really watch Korean BL anymore, but I felt like watch one tonight.

Also, forget his name, but the guy who left, was kinda an ass, took him so long to explain. Fell bad for the other guy.
The friend in love with one of the leads was handsome and kind. Glad he didn’t confess or anything, finally someone with a brain and understood. Not the annoying type second lead. But like why at the very end, they kinda introduce a love interest for him. They don’t even show his face??? the fuck. and like not that necessary, because we want more and we will never get it…

Anyway, that was an okay watch, but won’t watch again.
