Nu Îndrăzni Să Visezi (2016)

Painfully Predictable Horrible depiction of Cheating, Misogony and Women Choose the Mean Guy Trope.

Full disclosure I skipped through a lot of scenes. I didnt feel the need to endure the ML being an asshole and the FL being a dumb passive recipient of abuse.

Plot
Woman who is depicted as ambitious but painfully naive and girly and just dumb enough so as to be paltable in a mans world has a crush on the Alpha male at work.

ML is a complete rude obnoxious asshole who rejects her forcefulky repeatedly treats her really disrespectfully and badly and is basically a bully.

Girls meets MLs Friend who is really nice respectful goudlooking charming wealthy and guess what likes her for who she is. FL falls for the guy and seems to be really happy.

ML sees this and decides now he wants the girl because as a male he cant have another male pissing in his territory.

ML pursues FL who of course wavers because as a girl she cant have the self respect or will to resist the handsome guy even though hes an asshole. So ML shows himself to be a horriblefriend as well as a petty possessive selfish manchild.

Anyway then FL just to really double down on the shittiness cheats on the nice guy with the asshole. Then strings along the poir guy while watching the ML still being an asshole and then chooses ML anyway. Why?? Because he treated her mean to keep her keen.

Cue lots of plot devices and bad writing (ooh male breast cancer so its okay the ML is a horrible guy) designed to

1) illicit sympathy for ML and made excuses for him being a terrible ass and try and justify the FL cheating with him.

2) Make the 2Ml first a doormat than present him as clingy and unreasonable make him less likeable when he is just a victim of the trashy behaviour of the two people he liked and trusted most.

3) to try and explain away the FL being portrayed as a silly, vapid, dithering insincere cheating b;*^"'h.

Girls its time to wise up to these misogynistic portrayals of women. The fact this trash is written by a woman and is loved by women is so frustrating abd disappointing.
Its basicalky the plot of BOF with a different setting and a few tweaks. Why is it women who propogate this patriarchal nonsense.
Grow up Girls.

This drama is worth it

I really enjoyed this drama a lot, with the 3 main characters all having strong internal lives and familial connections which make their initially pathetic or annoying actions incredibly understandable. I will say - don't judge this drama on its first episode! I personally loved the initial dynamic as it sets up the love triangle in a really interesting way.

This drama is really a love triangle drama, as well. As far as I can tell, every single character was in a love triangle, whether it was requited or unrequited, and each triangle was a barrel of laughs. I really enjoyed the familial aspects as well - this is a drama about love, and loving people, and the joy that can bring. The acting is superb, the writing is hilarious, the soundtrack is fun, and the characters are deep.

Overall, I strongly recommend watching this drama.

It has been awhile since I wrote a review and this show definitely deserved one. The story itself is praiseworthy since it covers a medical condition that highlights the importance of early detection and treatment. It also explores the stigma it will cause when such illness happens to a man which is a rare occurrence.

There were situations which were funny in itself but truthfully isn't a laughing matter at all in real life but the writers made it watchable. The actors were topnotch and very relatable. They all did their roles very well. The tension within the love triangle is so palpable and heart-wrenching. This is one of those dramas that will pull you strongly to cheer for the second male lead. Of course, the main male lead also has redeeming factors that will convince you that he does deserve the female lead's love. I can not say enough good things about the main female lead's acting. She's so adorable, fun to watch and endearing.

The other love story arc was also fun to watch too! This was a really enjoyable drama to watch and I totally recommend it!

Fun, sweet, funny, and addictive

I loved this drama so much!! It was one of those shows where you want to binge all the episodes, but at the same time want to savor and watch each episode slowly so you never have to finish it. Both the main characters and the secondary characters where well developed. I enjoyed each little and big story being told. I found myself laughing out loud one minute and tearing up the next. I normally HATE a love triangle ( and this drama has multiple) but it was done well and it didn’t take away from the show. The only criticism I can give is I wish they would have shown the losers of the triangles happy in the future. There weren’t any “ bad guys” in the show so I wanted everyone to be happy. So seeing them happy in some way would have been the Chef’s Kiss ( pun intended) . I definitely recommend this drama to all Kdrama fans! It has a little bit of everything!

Let's all be real, we don't necessarily care for jealous guys in real live but in drama we all love it!! I don't care that people think some things are were not realistic...like who cares??!! Isn't that why we watch movies/dramas because the writer is able to use their creativity to create something good or bad.

Story:
Loved the premise of the story. You go through a range of emotions.

Action:
Cast did a great job

Music: was okay

Rewatch value: I would watch it again

Overall: This drama I feel is a diamond in the rough. It is funny ,emotional (happy/sad). Watch it! :-)

So disappointing

I absolutely love the acting talent of two main leads. I especially love GHJ. She is my favorite Korean actress/actor. And JJS is extremely charismatic in all of his roles. He just makes you want to keep watching as he fills the screen with energy.

However, I had to drop this one. The beginning was so messy and confusing, with all three of the characters in the love triangle just yelling at each other constantly. There was no character development or exploration, only yelling. And there were so many sexist lines. It was over the top and immature. And there were too many silly misunderstandings, which is a trope I'm not into in dramas. I couldn't continue.

Not everyone laughs at this

The FL acts like a bully, it's painful to watch that. She has no charm or intellect, I sure hope she will never be an announcer.
The first ML was very very good and at ease in his role in Hospital Playlist, but this role doesn't use his natural abilities - he is a great singer and dancer, great with kid actors, and his jokes land perfectly. This role is something else - I've never seen anything as tastless as trying to combine cancer hospital visits with slapstick. Eww. And the other ML was a great Greatest Deliveryman, but he is totally unrelatable as a chaebol boss. He is very good at looking nice and schoolboyish, but bosses very seldom look like that. Also, the dress he made didn't flatter the FL's skin tone and was too big for her. That is a mistake I've never seen in a K-Drama before.
The older charcters, mom, grandma, sister-in-law and the impotent cook are a bit more interesting and also very good looking, so I will finish this for their sake.
