Dragoste printre Rânduri (2019)

Another drama that I watched in less than 24h

This drama has honestly all that I needed.

A "normal" storyline, just a cute love story between two friends, which was really well built throughout the drama. A side-story with a little bit of cliffhangers, and answers I was waiting for.

A lot of side characters with interesting development, and relationships, which brought so much to the story.

Some heartbreaking or heartwarming moments.

A hot ML (not gonna lie, I watched this drama for him, and I'm not desapointed), as well as a hot SML, with great acting skills.

Great OSTs, which made me happy or sad, and were all beautiful.

Basically a great drama that I'll recommend to anyone.

This is my favorite Korean drama of all time. Kang Dani is so flawlessly written that I can't help but fall in love with her character and her determination. Cha Eunho, you are the perfect man and you deserve the best. He was so patient with Dani and was always there for her, supporting her every move even if it meant harming his own life. Their relationship is simply so beautiful that it cant be beat in my mind. Their noona to lovers arc gives them a different twist on a typical love story, especially considering that she is older than him. They didn't make Dani a helpless naive girl who needed saving, instead Eunho compliments her and helps bring out her best character. They shine so brightly next to eachother, yet can flawlessly transition to existing independently. As for the settings and plot lines; even more briliant. I had always wanted to have a career somewhere in the field of books/literature, but before this drama I had know idea what, and often times questioned my motives. This drama solidified what I want to accomplish and achieve in my career lifetime. I devleoped a love for publishing and editing like the characters had, and it I felt like I was apart of the editing team. I truly want to do what they do for a living. The ending of the drama touched my heart so much and I definitely cried. Haerin was also such a beuatiful supporting character that deserves all the love. She was always so invested in her job, and we know she was the best at it. She never let her jealousy get ahead of her, and she deserves someone that loves her. Overall, despite the slow paced and (maybe) boring plotlines, this drama has brought me great pleasure. I feel at peace watching it.

A story about Love, Friendship, Companionship, Colleagues and a love for books

"We make books".
That's the motto of Gyeoroo Publishing.
"Romance is a Bonus Book" is a story about love, companionship, passion, and comfort - and shows that everyone is bound together in a book. In fact, it's up to us on how we interpenetrate this book which we've written. How is it that your favorite novel - which you've read countless times - somehow seems different the second time you read. How is it that amidst the quotes which used to be your favorite, you're finding new lines which you never bothered to look at before.
That's the story of Kang Dan Yi and Cha Eun Ho.
As a woman who once dreamed of pursuing her dreams and ambitions, Kang Dan Yi was compelled to marry a man at a young age, and leave behind the aspirations she once hoped to achieve. As a full-time housewife, and dedicating several years of her life raising her daughter and taking care of her husband, she got divorced.
In fact, that was the turning point in her life and career.
As an unemployed woman in her late 30's, it's hard for her to find a job in her expertise - despite her qualifications.
That's when her life gets tangled with her childhood friend - Cha Eun Ho - a Chief Editor and Co-Founder of a Publishing company, Gyeoroo.

What I love about this story is that isn't a mere romance. It's more than that. As viewers, we get to see the progression of Kang Dan Yi's life in the publishing company - and she teaches us many morals and life lessons along the way. In fact, I learned the in and outs of a book publication process through this drama, which is quite astonishing. A book isn't always about the story, but what makes the story worth reading. Seeing the behind the scenes and little celebration moments that the staff shared together after seeing their books get published is so wholesome and heart-warming. Outside of work, Gyeoroo Publishing is a huge family who've shared the ups and downs of life among themselves.

The romance. Ah, the romance. I was waiting to see Eun Ho's unrequited love for Kang Dan Yi being reciprocated, and it didn't disappoint me. They were so natural with one another, and every one of their interactions made me internally squeal. As childhood friends who've known each other for 20 years, changing their status from mere friends to lovers is difficult. Especially when you happen to be living together, and work at the same company. But these two are so adorably cute with one another, it's amazing. Their romance also highlights the fact that age doesn't matter when it comes to relationships - all that's necessary is a mutual love.

The side characters. I adored them. They added an extra fluffiness, humor and entertainment to the story - and it's so hard to let go of them (although we got a small glimpse of their epilogue :P). Ji Seo Joon began with being a love rival, but I soon came to love his character, especially after his interactions with Song Hae Rin (they're seriously adorable). And, Park Hoon and Oh Ji Yul's story was just hilariously cute! Those two never fail to put a smile to my face; seriously. I also loved that the drama implemented character's facing problems with their own love life too, like Seo Young Ah and Bong Ji Hong's divorce, and Go Yoon Sun's tragic history with her fiancee and her independent but lonely life.

Last, I loved the mystery aspect! It kept me so entertained throughout the drama. Even though it was a subplot, I kept trying to churn the gears in my head, trying to subconsciously figure out the 'mystery' behind Kang Byun Jun's novels and his career as an author. It was so well put together :)

All in all, I loved this show. 10/10 and would probably watch again.

(I loved the OST too!)

sad? feeling down? watch it, cry a bit, feel determine to overcome the difficulties in life ......

i am currently rewatching. it is such a lighthearted and warm series! the lady has acted with such a grace! her expression in sad is heart wrenching. even though the story is not anything out of the box, but the simple story acted by lee jung suk and others was just something u need when u are feeling down. it is gonna make u cry in the frst episodes and then in the later ones u will feel the friendship, love and the affection u imagine to get from your friends, loved ones and the workplace people. the songs are pretty good. the view of lee jung is as usual heart stopping <3

A Beautiful Show for Book Peeps

I am a writer and a reader, so the storyline of this show touched me deeply. Seeing all these people bonding over a love for books as they discovered a love for each other made me all warm inside. It's probably my favorite drama right now. I never grew tired of it.

Practically, the pacing was rather good, especially when it came to introducing and exploring the stories of side characters. They all felt like real people with realistic lives that were not always over-the-top, allowing you to relate to them. Of course, the chemistry between the main two was to die for (and I died for it with every little look they exchanged), so that was a strong glue that held the show together. Basically...

I loved it! I loved it! I loved it!

I love Lee Jong-suk and saw several series he starred in. For this series, he is a successful editor who has been in love with his childhood bestfriend Lee Na-young. This is the first time I saw her act.

In this series, it was mentioned that Na-young will be older (as per the series, gap of 5 years). But I feel she looks a tad way too old for Jong-suk. I mean, she is pretty and great actress but that’s my opinion only :). The series will revolve partly on how Na-young got married and stop working. But since she got divorced and has a kid to support to, she needs to find a job. But the thing is, since she didn’t work for quite sometime, she found it difficult to go back. I’m not really sure if this is the reality in South Korea. If it is, then it such a sad thing. This is a first time for me to encounter such a plot. So, I find it very interesting.

And since they are adult, I find it quite cute how they act as a couple. I’m not against second lead syndrome or having other characters shine in a series but for this one, hhhmm so far, there wayyy ttoooo many love stories going on. I mean, the funny “relationship” between Park Hoon and Oh Ji-yool is fine but I feel they are focusing too much on it. Anyway, they made-up for it by giving several cute, funny, lovely anddddd most of all kissing scenes between Jong-suk and Na-young.

In terms of the places they shoot the series, everything were lovely so far even the soundtrack which I have downloaded already. I will update my review once I’m done watching it. But so far, it’s very highly recommended!

I started watching it as soon as it came out and I dont regret it.
The story is interesting and coherent. The cast is hilarious and completely loveble. I simply adore the gap age going on. Its love based on friendship! I couldnt be happier with the characters choice. I dont know how it is gonna end but I hope it keeps as fantastic as it is until the end!
Also, I havent found it yet, but the soundtrack is absolutely fantastic. I love every single song that plays in it (to be honest I think until now there are only 3 o 4 songs, but they are catchy and they work just fine with the story).
I give it a 10 and I recommend everyone to watch it!
