Împreună Acasă (2017)

Thoughtful

It's been a long time since such a drama hit close to home and made me question everything I thought about career, marriage, and life in general. There was so much to love here and it's rare to see two characters that are just so respectful of each other's space and opinions.

If anything, however, I wish the back end of the drama had the same oomph factor. It felt like the story gave up some of those life lessons that hit me so hard in exchange for the romantic plotlines, and as a twenty-one-year-old, questioning the institution of marriage just wasn't something I could relate as much to.

Even if this life seems like a failure, still always try your best

Just like the computer, with the presence of a virus, sometimes there is nothing left to do but reformat and reboot.

This drama scores a home run right in the core of my being. I have given up long ago on the notion that men can read minds. The idea that the person whom we consider or have the potential to be our lifelong partners should know how we women operate. Women often thought that men know what is on our minds all the time and how they should react to any given situation.

Well, I have given up on that fact. The truth? Men are NOT mind-readers. They would rather have us tell them what exactly we want. They would prefer us to include details after details. Frustrating as it seems, we merely could not accept that for some reason.

Women want to be swept-off on their feet. We triumph on every small victory when our significant others give us things even before we tell them and when they say the right things at the right moment. For some, these thoughts would only remain a fantasy, an after-thought at best.

It is one of the reasons why I love Lee Min Ki's character, Nam Se Hee, so much! He based everything, including his decision making on data. According to him, data does not lie. But the way you use data and interpret them and use them, that is the crucial part. I have to hand this to the writer. I think she and I think alike. To save relationships, we soberly have to compromise. It may be arduous to fathom, its REALITY. As the famous book quotes: "Men are from Mars and women are from Venus."

THOUGHTS to PONDER
In relationships, whenever asked your ultimate goal for your significant others, more often than not, this is the answer:

I like to see you smile.
I want to make you happy.
I cannot live without you.

Contrary to the purpose of the question, none of the subjects of the sentences talks about the other person. Instead, all sentences started with the word "I" when suppose to be the center of attention, is YOU.

Because This Is My First Life (2017) - Everybody knows how I like this drama, basically I posted lines of this drama before. This drama is my favorite Korean drama, period. I just love everything in this drama. The lines are awesome and hey I just love how the romance of the main characters developed. I like that there are basically 3 stories in one drama because it doesn’t focus on a romance of 1 couple but 3 couples with different situations. It’s just fun and heartwarming. I like that the script was well portrayed by the actors in a fun way. It was both an educational and hilarious drama for me. I kept repeating the scenes which I like in this drama, like my 6th time watching it today. Hahahaha. Favorite scene includes the conversation between Se Hee and Ji Ho’s mom before the wedding. I don’t think I could ever get enough of this drama. To more dramas like this!

Slowly creeps in your heart

This is the very definition of a feel-good drama genre for me. The characters have enough depth for you to relate and sympathize with, and they were very effective with the subtle comedic touch.

The subplots were very well-executed, and this made the main plot more rich and entertaining.. At the same time, the main plot and subplots blended effectively in which the main couple weren’t there to overshadow the other couples, but instead showcased the beauty of their own stories.

This is a really enjoyable watch! It’s a simple and straightforward story that slowly entices you until you just can’t help but watch the remainder of the episodes.

horang and wonseok rs

this drama is quite good, i've actually watched it like 6 times now. i kinda like the trope of jiho and sehee fake dating (??) and their relationship is okay, it's not that toxic (in my opinion) from a 2017 drama compared to others from that time. jiho gets mad and hurt from things sehee says after actually dating but i think it's okay since she's starting to feel something for him and sehee keeps seeing her as his tenant.

but i think horang is like the main problem here, she wants to marry wonseok so bad and she acts in a way that it's kind of annoying even idk

The things i loved most about this drama:
Deep conversations,stories behind every character, Fact about love and marriage,friendships, relationships. I took almost 8days to finish this drama just because understand and feel each and every line of their conversation.Every characters relationship and their thoughts, emotions were incredibly amazing. Maybe u'll get bore sometimes but still end of the every episodes you will realize 'it's amazing '.Because this is all about LIFE.

"If there's a way to reach someone's heart,there must be somewhere we should meet at the end."

And end of the drama all i can say "This is weirdly best drama ever".

The poem i loved
"The coming of a person
is, in fact, a tremendous feat.
Because he
comes with his past and present
and
with his future.
Because a person’s whole life comes with him.
Since it is so easily broken
the heart that comes along
would have been broken ? a heart
whose layers the wind will likely be able to trace,
if my heart could mimic that wind
it can become a hospitable place."
#Happywatching.

please watch this show, the ML and FL interactions are amazing!!!

I started this on netflix not expecting much, but it has quickly become one of my favorite kdrama of all time. I don't think this is a show that will appeal to everyone, but the interaction between the FL and the ML is amazing, and the way their relationship progresses throughout the show is incredible. You can literally see and feel and hear as the characters develop and mature over the course of the show with regards not only to love and marriage, but also life, work, and relationships in general. Although I wish more attention could have been placed on the FL's actual writing career, because I feel it was sort of tossed to the side part way through, overall I really really enjoyed the drama. In fact, I was so bummed when I finished the last episode even though it wrapped everything nicely, because there was nothing more to watch and my time with the characters was over.

My friend told me she was watching it and I gave it a try relunctantly, but I was surprised. The main story is interesting to keep you going, but being involved in her friend's relationships as well made it even more exciting to watch. You're able to see three different couples go through situations, and they really make you think how you'd react as well. I think it focused a lot on the chemistry on the couples, I think the all had really good chemistry which is rare to see, that all the couples of the show really make you believe their love. Very funny and pretty light-hearted compared to other dramas.
I enjoyed throughly, even though some episodes were a little plotless.

Relatable but not inspiring

I should start this by saying...I really liked this drama. The story is average, the acting is average, everything is super average. But that's also kind of what this show is about. The male and female lead both were very relatable to me on a personal level, so I enjoyed watching them interact and develop a story together. There was nothing groundbreaking, awe inspiring, or super memorable, but it was a very solid drama that I 100% do not regret watching.

The awkward interactions between the two leads were cute and interesting and I never felt like they weren't giving enough of themselves to the story. The only annoyance I had with this show was the pretty modern-typical "girl is suddenly independent and F's off to do her own thing for awhile but comes back to the dude eventually" thing. In a lot of dramas that do that I feel very WTF THIS MAKES NO SENSE about it, but in this drama they pulled it off in a way that made complete sense and so while I didn't like it, I also understood why it happened.

The best, absolutely best, part of this drama is at the end when the girl comes back after "finding herself". The male lead delivers a really great performance when she returns and I found myself 100% on board with his reactions and their reconciliation efforts. I was really really moved right along with the female lead by his emotional response after he'd held himself coldly together for so long. It seemed right to me that his emotional behavior was unsophisticated and child-like. I would have been very disappointed if he'd had a mature response since the premise of his character was emotionally stunted and emotionally immature.

I wouldn't watch this again because there's nothing new I would get from it, but I am glad I watched it. It gives me hope that emotionally stunted people can find their match someday!

Recently, I'd been watching a lot of heavier and darker dramas, but it seemed like I needed a break from it. I'd always scrolled past this drama on Netflix but never really thought anything of it but wow, what I've been missing!

This drama was sooooooo good. Perhaps because this story revolves around an age where I am in life right now, I felt very connected to each of the characters. The acting was amazing on all parts, and I was constantly rooting for each of the three couples. Strangely enough, my favorite duo was actually the Won Seok and Ho Rang couple as they made me laugh and cry ( the latter of which I NEVER do while watching TV ).

The drama touched on issues that are so real, but the way it was presented was elegant and not trivial. The storytelling was done in a way that allowed the audience to really get inside the head of each of the characters, often showing the backstory of why a character reacted in a certain way and the thought process behind it. Definitely a must-watch!
