E Nebună, Dar E-a Mea (2020)

Amazing characters with amazing plot and amazing screenplay!!!!

It's an amazing drama, and from start to finish it will grasp your full attention! The female lead brings something fresh as she isn't the typical soft-spoken lead you often find in Kdramas. Her whole character especially at the start of the drama will have you glued to the screen! The character development of both male & female leads are entertaining to watch! There really isn't a strong love triangle in the drama which I appreciated. Although, there was potential for a love triangle, it wasn't seriously considered in the plot. It's the best kdrama I have watched so far with amazing OST as well!

PERFEITO

Muitoo bom! Me surpreendi muito, não sabia que ia gostar tanto, o casal tem MUITA química, o enredo é maravilhoso, tem uma mistura de emoções, chorei e ri muito, adorei o modo que o drama tratou assuntos sérios junto com romance e comédia.

Todos os episódios me prenderam, adorei do início ao fim! Queria uma segunda temporada urgentemente!

Os personagens são incríveis, adorei que tem de inimigos a amantes. Me surpreendi também com a vilã, que eu esperava ser todo mundo menos menos ela.

Recomendo demais, ele é 10/10 do primeiro episódio ao último, do início ao fim!

I ugly cried so hard

This series is real. It explores all the ways humans simply are - and what makes them the way they are. The directing is almost self-aware: not quite fantasy, but taking on real elements of it and weaving the fairy tales in. I absolutely loved the directing and screenplay of this. The acting also did its job - not over the top, not lacking in any way; simply just conveying what needed to be conveyed.

I do tend to cry when I watch things, but this one got me in the feels on another level. Obviously it was picked to maximally convey such feelings (autistic brother, lack of parental presence, mental illness yada yada) but hey I can deal with a bit of unrealistic setting if you make it like a fairy tale :)

Simplesmente icônico

Um dos melhores doramas que já assisti, não entendi porque tem uma nota "baixa". A Ko Moon-Young é uma protagonista muito interessante e de personalidade forte, acho que até hoje não vi alguma outra que se compara a ela, ela tem uma história muito profunda sobre sua família e todas as cenas mostrando um pouco disso foram perfeitamente feitas, além das histórias dos livros que foram um destaque no dorama. O Gang-tae e seu irmão também tem uma história emocionante e os atores conseguiram perfeitamente interpretar como os personagens lidaram com tudo aquilo, e conseguiram passar ao público todas as emoções que os personagens estavam sentindo. Todos os personagens tem sua própia história e característica, e todos foram interpretados por ótimos atores. A produção do dorama é moderna e consegue equilibrar muito bem o romance, suspense e comédia. Poderia falar muito mais sobre o dorama mas assisti a algum tempo e não me recordo mais de detalhes, mas posso afirmar que é um dorama incrível e vale muito a pena assistir.

Beautiful art for the children's book

Ye Ji interpretation as a selfish and annoying woman is perfect. Makes me wonder if she's really like that in real life. Her outfits are so remarkable, and you can see their changes alongside with her personality, through time.

Soo Hyun makes a good effort to portrait a guy who's always holding his feelings.

The story isn't a great surprise, but there's not great loose ends either. I think the interesting thing here is the psychological approach, to understand characters motivations, traumas and how to deal with it.

But by far, my appreciation for this drama are the books. The animated the books and I felt like a child, thinking how amazing all of that was. The lines, the colors, the music, everything was so immersive. Amazing.

amazing must watch

If you are looking for a good drama without that typical romance plot you rather watch something knew this is for you it is romantic but not too much is unusual how the leads show their emotion and or affection they are both healing mentally it is drama that is really focused on mental health and its disorders its very psych-heavy and a little dark.
The acting is just wow is a drama that will drag you in from the first episodes.
If you are looking for a sweet drama this is not for you but you should give it a try if you are up for something knew of course it has its romance but it is portrayed different with a boss b###h of female lead and a caring male lead that is not necessarily fond of the FL
Is a really aesthetical pleasing drama with a great production and acting

What remains with me after watching this series is that, indeed, we're all struggling with emotional pain of some kind, but owning up to it and being compassionate about it is what makes us human. You'll probably find a mirror to your own insecurities and woes in any of the characters. The story portrays love at large in a heart-wrenchingly vulnerable way, so I don't think most people can finish the whole series without shedding at least a few tears. The characters are complex yet relatable, and most importantly, they are consistently interesting and never become dull. The cast is superb and the OST is already in my Spotify playlist.

More Than Just A Boy Loves Girl

Admittedly, the first 2 episodes of this drama had me bored. I was ready to drop it. You are assaulted with the relationship and it's easy to get into that, "I'm a professional K-Drama-er" mindset and have yourself convinced you know exactly how the story is going to go. Then it really starts taking a dive into the story and it becomes one giant rollercoaster of emotions that have you questioning all the things.

While the acting was dry at some points, the actors were amazing. I know that doesn't sound right, but I don't know how else to explain it. The parts were played well, they were believable and relatable. The story was beautifully portrayed by the cast.

Was there music? I know there was, but I honestly can't say that it was super memorable.

I don't know if I'd rewatch this. Yes, I absolutely enjoyed this drama, but I don't think I could handle the emotional curves your constantly thrown, even if I do know what's going on already.

Overall, once I hit E3, I was hooked to this drama. The story is captivating, the settings are perfectly Tim Burton-esque, and how relatable it all was really hit home. Yes, it's a love story, but it's a different kind of love story, it's a mental health exploration, it's a put yourself first type story. I'm here for it.

A complete world of emotional war

Where should I begin with? This drama is just a GOLD.

Superb acting by the main leads. And my favorite strongest female lead Seo Ye-ji.
Just go for it. I am out of words to explain this great piece. Just watch it.

It has sad moments with joyful ones. Fighting with the past is hard and can be tricky but with the love and support of our close ones, we can overcome anything. A clear-cut drama that focuses on how a human would feel when he is mentally challenged with real-life responsibilities, The drama has many cheerful moments and you can connect to the main leads.
The ending was also satisfying and make you fall in love with the plot.

A haevy theme but not to watch heavy at all

I was hesitant to watch the drama at first because the subject matter seemed so depressing to me, but the series is so adorable and staged with such funny and strong characters that it was a lot of fun and easy to watch.

The chemistry between the 3 main characters is fabulous. The scenes are beautifully staged. Seo Yea Ji's voice is so intense and beautiful that it is addictive. The scenes between her and Kim Soo Hyun fit so perfectly. He has a wonderful attraction to her (I can still picture the scene as he grabs her by the waist). Oh Jung Se plays his role so funny and endearing.

I've laughed, cried alittle bit, been enchanted by the scenes and
costumes and laughed. I really liked the setting, precisely because it was a bit detached and unrealistic.
