Dali and Gamjatang (2021)

Loving a clingy, hilarious, and romantic male lead

Nov. 14, 2021

I am living and loving for a male lead like this one. He reminds me so much of Park Hyungsik in Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. If I am being honest, I was shocked at how funny, hilarious, and interesting this drama is.

Dali and Moo Hak's chemistry is just unbelievable off the roof. I love how even though Dali is kinda portrayed as a Damsel in distress type of FL, she ain't dumb! Also, I am so happy that there is no stupid breakup and time-lapse at the end. Cause I swear to God these writers be throwing that damned plot line every motherfking time. From all the depressing dramas and violent shows I watched, I love how this was like a breather for me. Definitely something I will watch just because of how comedy, romance, kinda crimeish, and art are mixed together into this one heck of a ride series.

The start to this drama was good. Soo good. Its just the ending that makes you want to end it soon. This is not a bad drama at all. But it could have ended in 12 eps. the last four eps were just 1 episode + product placements + scene fillers + dragging for no reason.

Starting with the ML... He was an actor i wanted to keep an eye out since i watched Descendants of the Sun. Kim Min Jae has definitely earned the screentime of a ML and i think i could complete this drama because of his efforts (which could be felt in every sinking scene). His character is loud but not annoying, crazy but not tactless. ML was such a kind and sweet guy that sometimes i wish he would reallly be a bit ruder. But overall he carried the drama. Cant wait for more such dramas.

Park Gyu Young as Dali was likeable initially but after a while she didnt seem like an assertive enough person and just got on my nerves for the same reason. The way she forgave huge mistakes was just unbelievable. throughout the drama she felt powerless. She kept needing someone to save her and it was a bit much. Especially when she does react strongly its a great scene. I know people like this do exist but after the traumatic things that happened to her you would expect bigger reactions.
SPOILER: Her biggest reaction was dealing with the thief at the police station and after that nothing.

Annoying characters: OMG. What is up with ML's family. Why isn't there even one redeemable character.
So many slaps in the drama but not one to the stepmom. ML's father was unlikeable, loud and annoying. ( got annoyed with the ML character here because he only seemed mildly bothered by both and didnt take any action against their madness. )

I wonder why writers keep such characters where we are clearly supposed to hate them but still tolerate for some reason???

Like:
- The main leads chemistry. Romance quotient was high...
- Good aesthetic
- Happy Ending
- Humour level was good . ML definitely hard carried the drama.
- The few episodes that had a bit of mukbang/food scenes ( Ep 1, 11, 12 , 16)
- The cop friend, the secretary and museum staff.

Dislike:
- THE PARENTS!!! Ughhh.
- Dali's hairstyle ( I mean... maybe change it after some eps.
- Last 3-4 draggy eps.
- Everything else was alright.

Overall: It has veryy few art references. Only the location is a museum.
Watch it for KMJ , the leads chemistry and a fairly good plot.

MCs' personalities were too tiring for me

Lately I don't try too hard to finish a drama, so at least this was worth finishing! And in my opinion it got better on latter episodes.

What I wasn't a fan of were the characters. Not really the acting, the actors did a really good job, but the script itself made the personalities too overwhelming.
Dali too "noble" and composed and Jin too loud and rude all the time. I wouldn't mind if it was a little bit less intense.

That being sad, when they start to grow attached it got muuuuch better! He became less irritating and she less frustrating throughout the drama. Overall we got a great character plus relationship development. Yay! I deff would've dropped it if it weren't the case though.

this is such a cute kdrama, but i mostly liked it for its humor more than anything. it was just so silly most of the time. that it kept me wanting to watch more everytime.
The second lead in here is actually terrible and this was the first time where i actually disliked the second lead with my whole heart. Like he was just a pure asshole and he wasn't likeable at all.
Most characters in here very pretty cool tho especially dali, i really liked her personality and how she handled most stuff.
I don't really remember how much of my attention span was on here but i do remember that park seoham made like a 5 second guest appearence there as one of the kpop group members and it was so random but its one of the things that stuck with me.
Its a pretty cute kdrama overall, i recommend it!

take note on how to make complex yet easy to understand characters like this.

The plot isn't anything special but the characters are what makes this show great

FL: Everything an heiress should be. competent, dignified and charming. She gets put into a situation where she needs to take control of the falling family business once her father dies.

ML: He's ignorant and uneducated yet through his wits and hardwork, He managed to become a successful person. After meeting Dali. He slowly realizes theres more to success in life than in money.

SML: He's powerful and he knows it. He always has a plan and if it fails there's a plan B. He's not evil, He's just manipulative and will do anything to get his way. A great antagonist to the whole show.

SFL: She's spoiled and ignorant. Her only purpose in life was to be used to make connection for his father. A pitiful existence that's been tamed with social status/money. Easily my favorite character.

A very heartwarming series that I really enjoyed watching. The cast was amazing and I really liked the chemistry between the two leads. Also the acting of both of the leads was really good. Kim Da Li is portrayed as a soft and delicate person with a huge and genuine love for the Arts. Park Gyu Young did a very good job and she is really shaping up to become one of my favorite actresses at the moment. The male lead also did a perfect job at portraying a character that might not be the brightest in the traditional sense ( academic wise ) but is really hard-working , dedicated to his business and the most important of all a good human being.
If you want to watch a drama that is light and really enjoyable I totally recommend it.
I also have to mention that the styling of the female lead was AMAZING . From her hairstyle to the choice of shoes and bags , everything was so spot on and aesthetically pleasing .

commedia leggera, briosa, storia sentimentale di due opposti che si attraggono ... buona visione!

L'ho rivisto e mi è piaciuto di nuovo molto, quindi ho cercato di capire che cosa funziona in questa serie, rispetto ad altre che viste una seconda volta, non mi hanno poi convinto così tanto.
A mio parere, il grande punto di forza di questa commedia sono i tempi comici perfetti, soprattutto grazie alla interpretazione di Kim Min Jae e della sua spalla di Park Gyu Young. Entrambi hanno funzionato benissimo insieme.
Ho apprezzato molto il personaggio della segretaria di Jin Moo Hak, la signorina interpretata da Hwang Bo Ra, veramente ben reso dalla sua recitazione, come pure i cuochi che passano da "malavitosi" a simpatici amici del protagonista. Il cattivo è davvero "Machiavellico", ben recitato, senza gigioneria.
La musica e la fotografia sono meravigliose, anche la sceneggiatura che oscilla tra una presa in giro del concetto di arte contemporanea e una benevola presa per i fondelli per i nuovi ricchi self-made-man è davvero ben scritta e ogni tanto ci sono perle si saggezza che possono essere colte; la difesa di un territorio/sito in nome di un ideale/visione e non per potere e denaro; il tener conto che il primo vero impegno è perché cresca l'umanità di chi sia ha intorno, a prescindere dal male che possono aver fatto, dare una chance per ricominciare a chi incontri è il vero primo valore; l'amore non per forza nasce da essere simili, ma spesso dalla capacità di vedere con umorismo e quindi con bontà, la realtà dell'altro.

Dali The Helpless!

I can't think of another actress that could've played Da Li. She brought a lot of character and identity to the drama and made it stand out. The same thing can be said about the ML although him being too loud began to get on my nerves over time. However, I found the romance in general to be questionable. At every transition and development in the relationship, there was a clear unnatural progression to their romance. From their first kiss to opening up to traumas and the subsequent events of their relationship. I really liked that one signature background soundtrack that they kept playing but they completely stopped using it in the second half which was really unfortunate because it fit the the vibes perfectly.

A very sweet love story

From the start I knew this drama was different, not only the aestetic, but the kinda of love it was about. I really like de first encounter they have, it was so cute how he was mesmerized by her, but at the same time, they were equals and he did not put her in a altar right away.

The online thing I didn't like is how at the beginning, she doesn't seems so interested in him, has he is for her, and thats why the love story takes a little time to finally star. And also there are some cringe scenes, but I think it is because of the Korean humor.

I really hope they make more dramas that have art incorporated in them, or just making the protagonist seems more realistic by actually having hobbies and passion by something.

For me it was a good drama, it fell a little bit at the end, but it did feel complete.

Dali and the prince <3

COMO VOU SOBREVIVER SEM CANTAR A INTRO DE DALI? ?
E esse final que coisa mais linda??? Eu amei DEMAIS.
Eu amo esses dois atores e a química deles foi incrível, um dos melhores romances que já vi. O plot do final desses dois KKKKKK já ia surtar achando que eles tinham terminado mesmo.
Muito romance que eu amo e o que mais gostei foi a ost, linda demais!
O que menos gostei foi o drama ser de arte mas não falar tanto de arte assim, eu esperava mais!
Mas fora isso, valeu a pena pelo romance deles sério, tô apaixonada!
As roupas dos dois eram lindas, gostei bastante do elenco, queria um casal secundário, tipo aprofundar mais um relacionamento com o "meu won tak" imaginei que ele fosse terminar com a chak hui ou com a gang Ju.
