Iubire la a Doua Vedere (2016)

Definitely a tearjerker at times. I didn't cry at the emotional scenes but they sure left a big impact on my feelings at the time. That's where this drama excelled. Compelling characters that mostly have a lot of depth - Shin Joon Yeong and Assembly Man Choi for sure - met with emotionally driven scenes. Our main character is dying so we are stuck with this inevitable sense of dread. The character doesn't go with the easy choice of simply ending his day's with the women he loves. Shin Joon Yeong instead decided to give No Eul the justice she deserves while making up for the guilt he has for his previous actions. It leads to some frustration but it turns out to be necessary and it shows how great of a person he was.

Tenía unas expectativas súper altas y me siento decepcionada. Para ser mi genero favorito, me dejó un sabor amargo.
Es un drama clásico de esos que todo el mundo ha visto. Kim Woo Bin y Bae Suzy puede que sean el cast soñado pero sus personajes me parecieron demasiado exagerados en varios momentos. Pensé que iba a haber más romance y eso también fue decepcionante. Siento que como tiene bastantes años este drama es algo que era común en esos momentos pero en fin, sabor a poco.
Creo que la cinematica y el OST fueron mis cosas preferidas y lo salvan bastante.
No, no lo volvería a ver. Tristemente no ha sido un drama memorable para mí.

Suzy Bae was off the hook but I really don't know how she kept up with the back n forth love and hate scenes. I was kind of disappointed in how the story went. It seemed that the writers tried to make the ending not sad. It didn't work for me even though I wanted a miracle to happen and in reality, that's part of life. Of course, I did get very emotional at the end. At least the death scene wasn't tragic or toxic. It was peaceful but still sad and I still didn't like it. Kim Woo Bin who played Shin Joon Jeong did very well. That upper body of his looked H E A L T H Y! I always have to give my thanks to the rest of the cast, soundtrack, costume, food, etc because if you all were not chosen to make this story work even though I didn't like all the back n forth stuff or the ending. Oh well, you love some and then you don't.

NOTE: Cancer is a disease a lot of people are living with. Treatments have come a long way and lives are being saved. I do want to thank the writers for the awareness of cancer. Kim Woo Bin, I will be praying for you every single day that you will be 150% free from Cancer. I know by reading that you finished your treatment and are now recuperating, again, I will pray that your health continues to thrive. You are a very talented actor and I hope to see you in more KDramas.

I've heard many bad things about this drama. Many bad reviews, low ratings, comments saying that Suzy Bae's acting is bad, and many spoilers. Therefore I've been putting off this drama for a very long time. I decided to watch it as my last resort as I've run out of dramas to watch, lmao. I watched this with very very very low expectations, I was almost certain I would drop this drama... But surprisingly I didn't.

The plot is cliche overall. I knew what would happen to the main character since everyone spoilt it in comments and reviews??. But it isn't bad as I thought, it was interesting enough to keep me hooked for 20 episodes. There are many annoying, bit*hy characters, there wasn't a single episode where I didn't yell at my computer screen. The part where the male lead turns from the female got me annoyed, and he dragged it out unnecessarily long, which I felt was the only problem with the plot. I expected the ending to be extremely sad, but surprisingly I didn't cry at all in episode 20, only episode 19 I cried.

The acting was surprisingly really good. There was no problem with Suzy's acting. She portrayed her character really well. And as always Kim Woo Bin acting was spot on.

The OST is probably the favorite part of the drama. ♫"Only yoouuu hooo huuu hooo"♫ And ♫"When it gets hard.....I get a little stronger now!!!!"♫ The OST isn't overused and is not annoying :)

The ending means that there will be no season 2, so I wouldn't rewatch.

An exploration of life lessons

I now find most Korean dramas offputting because 5 out of 10 dramas will be some melodrama that advances the plot by throwing grenades when a simple lighter would have sufficed. Most are vicious, violent, classist, and demeaning to those who aren't part of the super-rich, mostly though, I'm tired of how the characters are always so damn loud which makes me simultaneously cringe and sigh. Like, seriously, do Koreans not have an inside voice?

All that aside, Woo-bin gave an excellent performance and I pray he's cancer free forever because the world needs more kind people like him.

Cry me a river of tears

Reading some reviews, I knew there would be heartache but went ahead to watch the first episode and I was hooked. This drama toys with your feelings of melancholy and longing to the extreme so if you are in the mood for this, just make sure you have your tissues nearby.

Lots of coincidences made this story overly dramatic but I overlooked this as I bought into the ML’s love, pain and suffering. It was an added bonus that he was handsome with a great physique - my preferred male lead unlike those who are too pretty-boy and skinny. The FL was a good match for him and while I enjoyed her acting most of the time, it was a bit annoying during some of her screaming scenes.

It was sweet during the brief moments when the leads were happy together and yet bittersweet when you know it could never be a happily ever after ending for them.

I appreciated that the ending was not rushed and even the side stories had satisfactory endings.

This drama was a bit hard for me to rate. The opening was great and drew my attention. Around the mid way point the story takes a hard turn in a direction I did not enjoy. In fact a few instances I had thoughts of dropping the show. I am glad I didn't though because after getting over that hump the show picks back up again. The ending was probably one of the most emotionally charged endings I have ever seen.


Over all I would have rated this drama a 6 (3 stars), but the ending was so good that I am bumping it up to an 8 (4 stars).

The scene in the last episode between Shin Joon-Young played by Kim Woo-bin and Shin Young-Ok played by Jin Kyung was by far the best acted and emotional scene I have ever felt and it is thanks to that acting that the rating is being pushed up so high. While watching it I forgot for a moment I was watching a drama and felt like I was really sitting in the room with them. Even now a full day after watching that scene, I still have a pang in my heart thinking about it.

Undeniably Good

This is a show that I had seen recommended on my Netflix list frequently so decided to finally give it a go. With Suzy in the show, I felt even if I didn't entirely enjoy it, she would always be a positive - and so she proved. Luckily, the show itself was more than good. This is an emotionally heavy show with an ending that you technically knew was coming but were still flattened by.

The flashbacks are integral to this story and lay the scene for what the show is about. The events that led to the lead characters separating before finding their way back into each other's lives are something typical of a kdrama story in demonstrating how lead characters are sometimes connected prior to meeting on the show. There is a sense of loss and foreboding separation that accompanies the lead characters as they try to rebuild a damaged relationship while the lead male reckons with his guilt for his part in the events that cleaved them apart.

The story is a motif for what we do and suffer because of family. Each character's suffering is tied to what they experience due to their loved ones. Suzy's character is beautifully realistic in her pragmatism because all she wants now in life is the very best for her brother. We have to talk about Kim Woo-Bin's acting. He was the heart, soul, rage, pain and joy of this show. From the moment it became clear what was going on with him, and his part in Suzy's childhood, there was just this yearning to see him make peace with himself. His relationship with those closest to him shaped the sense of pain that drove the show and constantly brought you to sympathy for him even when he was doing his best to show he didn't deserve it.

Some of the other characters in the show were not well-written enough to stand out as support characters. The mother of Kim Woo-Bin's acting was both incredible and frustrating, and your viewpoint of characters like her and others might change with each rewatch. There was also one problem with the flashbacks in using the same actors for them which I won't spoil for anyone, but it made some of present-day scenes implausible.

The show's final episode and final scenes were very quiet and that worked better than a spectacular, grandstand finish. Sometimes, what love relationships deserve aren't these massive gestures and fireworks but the beautiful quietness and simplicity done well. The show ended in a way that will leave you close to tears, and some might object to how it was written, but I think it worked for the best.

Overall, it's a great show!

The series was good but I was not prepared. It has some intense moments, some cute moments and most certainly some “my eyes are leaking moments.” I like the FL personality. She was determined and didn’t let pride stop her. Let’s not forget she was smart and capable. Our ML was funny and cute and absolutely made me grab the tissues. The only thing I don’t like about the series is the title. I thought I was getting a cute romance drama but this is not light and fluffy. It’s sweet, yet heartbreaking.

If your loooking for a light hearted romance keep moving. If your looking for drama, with tons of feels, you may like this.

Personally, i LURVE the drama and i have not RAGRATS!

People who loves melodrama should really watch this even though there are certain parts that makes you feel like stopping. Do continue and endure because in my opinion, I think being able to persevere till the end of this show was worth the irritating feelings that you feel when things gets too draggy.

Story has the typical over melodramatic situations like someone dies, terminal diseases, whichever you can think of. But it is still quite an unpredictable storyline. Most supporting roles are kind of annoying especially Tae Jin and that killer because they are so fickle minded at what they want to do etc etc. Do not pity the father/mother. DO NOT!

Never let what happened to the previous generations(parents) affect your life because your life is your life.
Their failure/wrongdoings aren's exactly your fault.

I would say this drama shows how each one of us might make certain mistakes that causes lots of shit. So i don't think certain scenes are 'too much' because in real life it does happen! *inserts raising both hands emoji*


Kim Woo Bin's acting were great! The scenes where he broke down were just so sad and it breaks your heart somehow, somewhere. Poor boy.
Suzy is better than her previous roles, never really find her irritating as compared to some people. I don't know why but I think all artists are fine as long as they are not too BLANK as a main role?


Music wasn't really an main point to me, in fact! I don't really remember any of their OST now that you ask me because I finished this quite some time ago.
But there are still musics that makes you tears together with the cast so I guess it's not too bad?


I did rewatched a few scenes but maybe not the whole show? Probably the ending few episodes, you will know why..... ;)

Pendapat Awam!!
Oke mulai

Story:
drama ini menggambarkan seorang pria yang menderita penyakit namun ingin menahan rasa sakitnya sendirian. Ceritanya dikemas dengan baik dan membuat saya kesal dengan sikap male leadnya

Karakter:
ML: dia digambarkan sebagai orang yang sangat egois. Dari awal penggambaran ini sudah jelas terlihat dari dia. Dia tidak mau menceritakan tentang penderitaan yang dialami kepada orang lain. Dan membuat deritanya ini menjadikan sikap dia begitu kejam kepada orang sekitarnya dan membuat orang lain juga ikut menderita. Namun akhirnya saya juga menyadari kalo yang dia lakukan bisa dimengerti jika kita berada diposisinya.

Musik:
Ost cukup menempel dikepala dan membuat scene menjadi lebih hidup.

Ending:
Ending sangat baik!!. Penulis tidak memaksakan cerita yang baik untuk semua orang. Jadi endingnya sangat bisa diterima dengan logika
