Witch's Romance (2014)

Un noona romance de 10!!!

Maravilloso noona romance, te hace reir, llorar y empatizas con casi todos los personajes! La pareja principal tiene una gran química y me encantan! No sé porqué no lo había visto nunca, quizá porque el cartel de presentación no me atraía mucho pero ahora que me he decidido me la he visto en maratón y la he disfrutado muchísimo!! El ritmo no decae en ningún momento, la historia es light, refrescante y luminosa, el mensaje de empoderamiento de la mujer es maravilloso y los oppas que aparecen son simplemente fantásticos!!! Soy fan de Park Seo-joon, pero Uhm Jung-hwa a la que no había visto en ningún drama me ha impresionado!!!!

Noona lovin' perfection. Yes, indeed.

I made jokes about this one in the comments when I first read the synopsis. I was expecting to be force-fed some BS attraction between a young guy and a woman 14yrs older than him. After the first episode, I felt like I was dead on with my expectations, but kept watching since it was entertaining enough. It didn't take long for me to see that I was actually dead wrong.

This show was so well-executed that even the cliche parts came off as normal occurrence. You feel like this story is somehow familiar, like you know some people who have experienced the same regardless of how far-fetched that would be. What I love most is each hurdle is a real growing experience. Not just an "Oh, I messed up and apologized, now forgive immediately." There's depth in each situation.

The chemistry between all the characters is spectacular. Yes, I said all. Each person fits into their role snugly and works so well with anyone else that's on-screen with them. Enemies, friends, lovers, family... you'd think you were made privy to the lives of actual people, it all feels so natural.

Best part: Uhm Jung Hwa's acting. None of that typical stuff actresses do to mimic falling in love. She brings those real reactions that women usually can't prevent from doing and endearing qualities of an enamored woman to her character. All of this while still maintaining a strong no-nonsense personality. She portrayed a woman that can be an axe-grinder, and cutely fall in love without compromising her strength. She also is able to grow to learn from her lessons and change only what needs changing.

For me, this is the second best drama I've ever watched and I'm a harsh critic. I'd highly recommend it.
