To.Jenny (2018)

In one word this show would be described as sweet.
Don't be skeptical to watch it because it's only two episodes. They are two really good episodes.

The main character Park Jung-min is so lovable. He's a bit awkward, but when it comes to music he changes into a different person. He's definitely my favorite part of this show. Kim Sung-Cheol did a great job expressing Jung-min's fears and his love for music. He's a relatable normal character who you're going to find yourself rooting for as he tries to win the girl of his dreams.

Jung Chae-Yeon plays Kwon Na Ra, a former one-time idol still with the hopes of pursuing her dream. I think she played her role well, don't let idol bias stop you. She fits the character really well. She's the former popular girl at school and the Jung-min's childhood crush.

The show is refreshing. It's somewhere between a sweet tiramisu (haha, you'll get this once you watch it) and a cool cucumber. It's not the most original of premises, but somehow it feels different than other shows. Don't worry there's no cliches nor any cringy parts. Everything flows easily and you'll be surprised that time passed so quickly. The plot is well constructed and executed.

The chemistry between the leads was also a plus. This is the two episodes work at a disadvantage because by the time you're done you're going to be wishing for more.

I loved Jung-Min's support system. From his little sister who gave him dating advice to his friends who stand by him to his gruff uncle who's interest is always best in heart.

The music is also a highlight. I think most of the songs are covers, but they're incorporated into the story very well. They 're catchy and have caused me to constantly replay the songs on youtube. If you're skeptical about watching this, I say watch for the music.

My only qualm was that the ending felt like it could have added some closure to a few things. But they're also a few very small parts that I think can easily be overlooked.

Overall, It's a light, funny, entertaining and good quality short watch.

"TIRAMISU CAKE. TIRAMISU CAKE. TIRAMISU CAKE."

Damn this drama had 100% real bops. All the songs were catchy. And the instagram he used is actually real,i'm wheezing. https://www.instagram.com/superstarmin92/

It was an adorable story that felt like a 2h movie. And the characters were so so soooo charming. The sister made my heart melt(what do they give them to eat to be such awesome actor/actresses?!) and the friends were absolutely squad goals. But the ending tho...come on. HOW CAN THEY LEAVE ME LIKE THAT? The main leads had an amazing character development in only two episodes but i wanted to see a more extended ending.

So overall,if you have two hours and want something sweet and light,this is the drama for you.

Let me review this drama by points,

1) one word about this drama "simply superb"

2) It has a different story not the usual rich man poor girl concept

3) Good songs throughout the two episodes

4) Absolutely it's one of the short and sweet kdramas like "splash splash love"

5) Finally after you finished this drama, you will long for extra episodes

6) This drama team use the actor and actress in effective enough to fall in love with them.

7) The lead actor really acted well enough

8) And the lead actress is really cute and talented. But she is only acting small web dramas or in supporting role. Please give her a main role in any upcoming dramas :-(

Tiramisu Cake!! Tiramisu Cake!!

God that song is stuck in my head so much! This is such a beautiful drama. One of those cute dramas that really stick with you. When I first heard that this is going to be a musical drama I was kinda skeptical but after watching it I finally saw the beauty of it. It was amazing!!! The songs are so cute. Like realistic giving an indie feeling to it.

I am so happy they casted the male lead instead of casting an idol. He did an amazing job of portraying the awkward not the best singer but a good singer nonetheless. His acting was on point. I watched him Prison Playbook and loved him there (tbh I loved all the characters in that drama. THE BEST)

Honestly there's nothing so special about the story but if you want a super cute story yes this is the one.

Just watch it for Tiramisu Cake!!

A simple and easy watch with amazing songs.

“to.Jenny” is a sweet and simple drama special. There are no plot twists and you can pretty much tell where the story goes. Though simple, it’s such a comforting watch if you have a couple hours to kill. This special features a couple wacky songs such as ‘Pork Belly’ and ‘Tiramisu Cake’, but also a few very lovely songs performed by Kim Sung Cheol. I would never have thought he has such a great singing voice. But looking up this little brief description on MDL, I realized he started out as a musical actor. Anyway, I already added a few songs to my Spotify playlist (well, maybe not the songs about food).

Despite loving the music, the special itself actually did not grab my attention in the first 15 minutes or so. I actually paused and resumed on another day. I found Park Jung Min (ML) very awkward in the first 30 mins or so, and only when he started teaching Kwon Na Ra (FL) guitar lessons did I find him awkwardly cute. Once the leads have more scenes together, I am more drawn to their chemistry and their friendship/romance. I especially like how creative and sweet the guitar lessons payment system is.

Our leads are very likable and nice, and maybe too nice that they seem very naive in different aspects. The little sister is smart and mature, and really is the best support and winggirl ML can ask for. It’s also lovely to see a mother who is supportive of his son’s dreams and shielded him from the hardships of reality. The two friends are obnoxious in the beginning, but they grow on me. They really are good friends. I very much enjoy the jamming and music session between Kim Sung Cheol/Park Jung Mi and Lee Sang Yi/Yum Dae Sung.

If you are looking for good music, a simple and comforting watch, then “to.Jenny” might be a good option. The acting is pretty good and you won’t feel like strangling any of the characters.

Bruh, at first, I was a little put off because of the main lead and how goofy he looks and then he opened his mouth and started singing and I was like WOW. This show has the 1000% bop of the century because the music is fire, the acting is fire and I wish it was a legitimate show because 2 episodes didn't do me man. It was a wonderful movie. I don't usually watch movies but I could not stop smiling, I'm so excited that I clicked on this and decided to watch it because this whole show and everything in it is fire. It's nice, sweet, cliche, I was dancing along to the music and I enjoyed the whole 2 plus hours and I don't care what anyone says. If you need something nice and refreshing and just to put you in the mood, this is it. I haven't been so excited to watch something and want to own it since 200 pound beauty and that's my show man. This show is wonderful. I dig it. Watch it. Taste it. Take it.

This drama was just so adorable- it left me satisfied and glad that I'd watched it. I dreamt of moments where a guy would like me that much as the male lead like the female lead in this drama and I wished that I could have that type of young, naive love. The acting was well executed and there were no discrepancies in the story line.
The male lead Park Jung-min (Kim Sung-cheol) was lovable and forced you to love him in his awkward moments.
One downside of this drama is this amount of time they spent with the male lead singing, I skipped through most of these scenes. This definitely shouldn't stop you from watching the drama because overall it's incredible, but it's something small to look out for.
To conclude this drama was short and sweet, the acting was sweet, the storyline was sweet and it left a sweet aftertaste. I'm about to go rewatch it- and I think that everybody should go do that too.
Just an after thought: Jung Chae-yeon was good too, I'm a fan of her from her I.O.I days (and now from DIA) but I commend her for her strong acting. It didn't stand out as amazing but it wasn't bad either. It was sweet just like everything in this drama special. Also don't get discourage because it's only two episodes, the drama gave us everything we need within these episodes and didn't leave any loose ends.

Músicas perfeitas

O drama conta a história de uma idol parada que recebe a sugestão de seu ceo para virar solista e de um músico muito bom que tem fobia de palco e que é apaixonado por essa idol desde novo. Eles se reencontram na loja que o prots trabalha e ele acaba escrevendo músicas pra ela e ensinando-a a tocar violão, o que acaba os aproximando bastante. Tudo da errado quando a rival da protagonista acaba pegando a música dela para si e fazendo com que a porta saia da empresa e se afaste do rapaz.

Músicas:
Tiramisu cake - Gruda na cabeça e é bem gostosinha de escutar
Grab me - Minha favorita, tem meu coração e também gruda na cabeça de um jeito bom
Your Song - Perfeita, não tenho como definir de outro jeito, ela é boa de escutar e de cantar junto (de tocar também deve ser mas eu não toco violão)
To Jenny - A música que dá nome ao dorama, toca apenas no final mas a letra é linda e você consegue ficar ouvindo por horas até cansar


O protagonista tem uma voz muito boa pra cantar e combina muito com a da prota, gostei bastante disso. A atuação também é impecável não consegui reclamar de nada.

Tiktok made me watched it

TIRAMISU CAKE!
TIRAMISU CAKE!
TIRAMISU CAKE!
This song keeps playing in my head, I saw the trend in tiktok and I fell in love with the song, that's why I searched the series and it was on 2018 was published the series and it was a special drama with 2 episodes only and I was curious wht it it is titled TO. JENNY.
I appreciate more KimSung Cheol as the ML I didn't know that he has a good voice, I liked his singing style. The drama is about aspiring musicians that been through different struggles before achieving their stardom. They both didn't lose hope ib achieving their goals.
Music is helping them to ease the pain and sadness that they feel.
The ML has a great support system in achieving his dream to be a musician, hif family and friends especially his younger sister Ok Hee. I loved his bond with his younger sister Ok Hee is a mature thinking child who gives advice to his older brother.
Overall this drama gives a positive aura that will give you more motivation to never lose hope in reaching your goal.

A short but sweet watch.

Don't be fooled by the fact that it has two episodes, it was an amazing miniseries.

This is my first time watching anything from the two leads and in the 1hr 15min that they had, they phenomenally did amazing. Jungmin's voice is honestly amazing and I found out that Sungchul [the actor for Jungmin] was a musical actor so no surprises there. Chaeyeon's and Sungchul's acting was on-point and I think that they portrayed the characters perfectly.

It was the perfect music miniseries that I was looking for.

Do I suggest watching it? With my whole entire pride at stake, yes I do.
Will I rewatch it one day? Without any doubt, yes I will.
