Dragoste Urbană (2020)

Potencial Desperdiçado

Tem uma premissa interessante e a base de "talk show" é realmente inovadora, mas não foi bem executada, as cenas e química dos atores principais( em Yangyang )são ótimas, mas a obra se perde na FL, Eunoh sumiu da vida do Jaewon do nada depois de casar com ele simplesmente porque ela é "comum" e o ex traiu ela, ela sabia que ele vivia perto, sabia que ele não estava conseguindo superar, teve quadros de alcoolismo e mesmo assim ela não fez nada, o ML tbm não ter amor próprio e a perdoar facilmente mesmo depois de tudo que passou é algo sem sentido, ela não merecia ele ... Outro problema é que a trama do casal principal só começa a andar depois de mais de 12eps e o final foi rushado(qual o sentido de apresentar mais um casal no ultimo ep?), tentaram finalizar toda narrativa dos casais e todos ficaram meio incoerentes.

Enfim, os primeiros eps me cativaram muito pois curti pra krlh as cenas na praia, a ambientação, clima, fotografia e química do Jaewon e Eunoh la foram fantásticas(a Eunoh de Yangyang vulgo Yoon Sun Ah foi infinitamente melhor lá como personagem, pois as ações pos isso me fizeram não gostar da Eunoh do presente), teria preferido um obra focada na relação deles em YangYang, 12eps de 30min seria o bastante para desenvolver os 2 principais(Eunoh e Jaewon)

RESEÑA <3

Solo puedo decir que quedé ENAMORADA.
Me gusta el formato de como está creada la serie. Es original y pocas veces se ve algo así.
En las partes donde se contaba la historia de la Olaya junto con la música ,según lo veía, parecía que estaba viendo alguna historia escrita por Alice Keller. Eso de verdad, me encantó.
Me encanta la personalidad de cada personaje, el como lo describieron y como actuaron. (Hasta el cameo)
Todos los estos personajes de quedaron en un trocito de mi corazón pero he de decir, que Gaon se ganó la mayor parte. Me gustó la personalidad con la que le hicieron y como dije antes, la actuación ayuda.
La verdad que empecé a ver este drama por Ji ChangWook, porque me parece un gran actor, y en esta serie, me lo volvió a demostrar.
Si que es cierto que quizá el último episodio sobraba, pero aún así, fue maravilloso igual.

Storie di amori verosimili!

Un dramma abbastanza scorrevole che anche se inizialmente un po' confuso per via delle interviste poi invece invoglia a continuare a vederlo per sapere come va a finire, finito in due giorni proprio per questo motivo.
Racconta le storie d'amore di tre coppie.Due si incontrano si innamorano e si separano dopo soli due mesi ma il loro amore è travolgente e sofferente ma l'amore vincerà. Un'altra è una coppia scoppiata ta lei che finge indifferenza e lui tropo timido per farsi avanti,per loro tanti punti interrogativi. Gli altri sono dolcissimi innamorati ma con due modi completamente di vedere e vivere la vita e il loro amore ne soffrirà.
Un intreccio di queste storie che alla fine sono praticamente un gruppo di amici.
Il dramma è davvero carino e con storie di vita vera.
Merita la visione e non solo per il cast.

The ML is an adorable Teddy Bear.

When you put yourself in the ML shoes, all you can think of is that the guy is a saint and so damn mature. Even after all the things FL put him through, he still loved her and went out of his way to understand where she was coming from.

We get that FL was coming off a lot of hurt and the reasons she chose to escape her life, but at some point she should have told him the truth. She made selfish decision to protect herself from the hurt and allowed the poor guy to go crazy. He was so damn worried about her. While ML is 10/10, I do wish the FL would have put him first and at least told him the truth about her life. So what if they had went there separate ways, at least he wouldn't torture himself like that. Knowing the ML, they might have reconciled sooner.

Now, as a viewer, I completely enjoyed the style of the drama. I also had fun watching how frustrated the guy was and all the things he shared so freely. I honestly wish more people were this brave. I also liked how the FL gradually shared how she felt but she clearly was the more loved by the ML.

The supporting characters were also pretty good and fun to watch.

Confesso que de inicio eu fiquei perdido, nao sabia como funciona as "entrevistas", mas com o passar do tempo e decorrer dos episódios começamos a entender, e cada momento que a quarta parede é quebrada, é simplesmente incrível.

Personagens individualmente incríveis, mas quando se juntam NÃO DA PRA TANKA, acho que não tem outro dorama que eu ri tanto como esse a relação do Jae Won com o Gyung Joon é demais pprt, não tem como parar de rir. O trio de amizade é sensacional, transmite uma alegria genuína.

Pelo fato do dorama ter apenas 17 episódios de 30 minutos, ele não sofre como a maioria dos outros doramas, que da metade pra frente os episódios ficam chatos, maçantes e só enrola, e quando está perto do finalzinho o casal se separa e então volta a ficar juntos depois de um timeskip. Entretanto isso pode ser uma maldição ou uma benção, se por um lado nos livra de enrolação, a gente tambem perde a oportunidade de ver os demais personagens.

Ficamos triste que acabou, pois queremos saber como a Rin Yi e o Gyung Joon vão lidar com a situação, se eles vão realmente terminar, se vão reatar. O mesmo vale para a Sun Young e o Kang Gun, eles terminaram, mas se eles voltarem não vai ser surpresa pra ninguém.

E o ultimo episódio foi inesperado, foi nos mostrando o policial devagarinho, mas ai vem e... Não tem como, uma belezinha os dois, incrível que com 10 minutos conseguiu fazer algo melhor do que doramas com 16 EPISÓDIOS e de HORAS não consegue fazer, mostrar um casalzinho lindinho fofinho meiguinho.

Relatable and realistic (kind of)

The acting was pretty much accounted for, having a stellar cast. However, the plot and direction can be a hit or miss depending on the audience watching. Personally, I enjoyed both aspects. The way the entire series was shot was refreshing for a kdrama and it reminded me of more western productions. The interspersed past and present also kept me curious throughout the series. Although the storyline may be frustrating, i think that's a part of the point of the plot. Honestly, Ji Chang Wook and Kim Ji Won's whole plot was frustrating but i think it's supposed to be, especially the way everything was set up. I think it was realistic. I won't discuss it in detail as to not spoil anything. However, as realistic as it may for me, this is entirely subjective as I base from my personal experience. Other people in the audience may not get it or even like their storyline at all, depending on their own experience, personality and how they see relationships. However, I do think that the other couples in the series was as interesting as theirs as well, despite less story building allotted which is one of the things I could say I wished they had done in the series. I wish they could've dived deeper into the story of the others, especially Han Ji Eun and Ryu Kyung Soo's. I think that would balance out the series better rather than just making them seem like side stories to make everything connect in the end.

This was a pretty good watch for me though, overall. It felt more like a movie and I didn't even notice time passing at all especially each episode was only 30-40 min each. If asked if I would recommend this to others, I think I would definitely do so.

Every adult finding themselves should watch this series

On the surface, this drama was a treat to the senses: beautifully composed shots, an OST that accentuates the emotion of the scenes and gorgeous leads.

It'll take some patience to get through to the first 2 episodes but I thought it was appropriate in helping the viewer piece the connectedness of the characters. It's a complex and mature script without the usual tropes which is both refreshing yet touching.

What is the story about? Love stories which are vessels for exploring self-love and self-worth and how these impact relationships.

Explosive chemistry between Kim Ji Won and Ji Chang Wook and on their own, very nuanced performances. Along with the beautiful script, I felt every gut-wrenching moment of despair of the male lead and the insecurities of the female lead. I also loved both the side stories of the other couples - the standout scenes for me from them were Rin-i & Kyeongjun's break up (mad respect for someone who knows her worth!) and Kang Geon and Sun-Young's closure.

I highly recommend this series to anyone who's been trying to find and love themselves. If you're not on that journey, you might find this bland but oh! what a gem you'd have missed.

Mds... que drama vida loka!

Começarei pelos pontos fracos dele porque acho que vai ser mais fácil rsrs;

Primeiro tiro no pé é sobre os casais secundários... o Kyung Joon e a Rin Yi até que deu pro gasto (tirando a personalidade meia louca da Rin Yi que eu não me acostumei muito). Agora a Oh Sun Young e o Kang Gun eu tô tentando entender até hoje... romance = 0, cenas entre os dois = 0, final dos dois = 0. As cenas deles foram muito mal apresentadas para eles estarem como elenco principal. As delas se resumiam em ela bêbada no meio da rua. As dele, eram basicamente mostrando o dia a dia de um desempregado. Acho que deveriam ter explorado mais os personagens deles.

Outro ponto fraco foi o desfecho dos casais secundários também. Assim que terminou o drama, tive que ir no banheiro lavar meu rosto que estava pintado de palhaço.

Apesar disso, tenho que admitir que o casal principal arrasou. No início você não acha eles lá grande coisa, e também pensa que o romance deles é "fogo em palha". Porém, no desenrolar as peças se encaixam. E a química deles foi de tirar o chapéu. Mas quem não quer ser par de um homem desse né?! Ji Chang Wook sabe o que faz.

A atuação e a trilha sonora do drama também foram muito boas.

Se eu recomendo: Claro!

Very good but alas the ending is a different story

* SPOILERS ALERT *

Like I said this drama is pretty amazing… until the last ep. For starters, the cinematography is wonderful, especially the scenes at the beach in the flashbacks (I wish I could live in a environment like that lol). The documentary-like format didn’t bother me too much. It was original and added a little something to a story that would have been maybe a little too plain without it. The only downside was the confusion it made me feel at times. I didn’t really understand how they could communicate with each other : I guess the producer/spoke person each time relayed to the others what one of them said ? I think there was an app or something like that too but yeah it was definitively confusing especially in the first episodes. Also, there was a scene that perplexed me a little in which Jae Won spoke directly to the camera then the focus widens and we see Eun Oh with Jae Won still in the background but there’s no cameraman with him. It was like the crew etc were invisible the whole time lol. But despite these little oddities the format grows on you and you learn to appreciate it.

I was also agreeably surprised when I realized there was a good amount of humor mixed with the more “realistic” vision of life and romance because I thought it would be kinda depressing considering the synopsis but not at all fortunately. I absolutely loved the bond between the 3 childhood friends and their interaction with everyone else. In fact I liked every character in this drama. All 3 “couples” were great together but they weren’t defined entirely by their romantic relationships (but bear in mind that romance is at the center of the drama). All the actors did an fantastic job and their chemistry was off the charts! I don’t want to spoil too much because the journey is what makes it really special. But if you want to watch this, just keep in mind that all of these characters have flaws. Their decisions sometimes doesn’t make sense at all but hey I don’t think that us viewers always choose the most logical decision in our lives. So that’s why I could relate to their problems even if it was a little frustrating to watch. There’s also a little redundancy that sometimes alter the pacing of the story but the cinematography makes up for it. I was just so amazed by the beautiful shots and beautiful actors/actresses that I didn’t really care in the end. The OST is also a big factor in making all of this work, I simply loved all of the songs and they were perfectly chosen.

* BIG BIG SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING *

Now for the final ep… I just didn’t understand. Why was there a sudden focus on the cop and his (childhood ?) best friend turned actress ?? Even tho I liked his character, there was no reason to add a love interest for him in the last ep. Like yeah they were kinda cute but I felt absolutely nothing watching them together. In fact I just wished the focus would shift again to Kyung Joon and Rin I. So many questions are left unanswered between them ! What was the letter written by KJ’s grandpa (or uncle I don’t remember exactly) ?? Why was it important ?? And who was the man who answered when KJ called Rin I ?? Are they really done when it seemed like they were so madly in love with each other ? Why did the writers decide to keep these things a secret when we were even shown how Eun Oh and Jae Won met each other in the past ? I thought for a moment about a possible season 2 but it doesn’t seem likely… That’s why I’m a little frustrated with the ending, it just felt different than the rest. Although I’m of course very happy our main couple is endgame and reassured about the fact that there’s still hope for Gun and Sun Young in the future.

To conclude it was still very good and I will give this drama a 9/10 for ep1-ep16 and a 7/10 for ep17. So for the entire drama maybe an 8,5/10 ? It seems fair because I still enjoyed the ride and the quality (production, music, actors) was overall exceptional. So watch this if you like flawed and realistic characters, amazing chemistry, tales of friendships and overcoming hardships and a very good amount of cute and swoon worthy moments.

The story in this drama was strange to me but they played it off. The stories of couples and their relationship was intriguing to me. I am happy that Ji Chang Wook (Park Jae Won) was the lead in this drama. I love his acting and what he brings to the screen. He brought his character to life and of course, he made Park Jae Won come alive. Kim Ji Won (Lee Eun Oh) did very well in this drama. I didn't think the chemistry was not there with Lee Eun Oh. Their ending was also strange but it also came okay. The other actors/actress who plays in main roles did their jobs. I did have a problem believing one actress but I will not say a name. Why mention it you ask? Well, I want to see if your reviews will see that as well. Thank you to all the supporting actors/actresses the story wouldn't be told without them. I also didn't like the storyline where the actors/actress was pretending to talk to someone who was filming their lives. Don't go by what I said, you need to watch it and give your own review.
