Send a Fan Letter (2022)

Child actress is a revelation, rest goes downhill fast.

Started off well but became too clumsy in the second half.

They really overplayed the intensity of some dramatic scenes. It's hard to explain but it's like they tried to portray some events happening to the characters as PTSD-inducing, or just really affecting them in a major way, but… they weren't all that intense to begin with. Made them miserable but it's just blown out of proportion, and it happens more than once. Just took me out of the story.

Choi Soo-young did a great job, but it's the child actress who was astounding. The fact that this thing works overall and has any weight (emotional or otherwise) whatsoever fully rests upon her shoulders.

this is one of the cutest drama I've ever watch
too bad it's way too short
some of the parts were rushed
I just dumbfounded with how Han Kang Hee and Gu Hye Ri feud were handled like that
and so was Han Kang Hee with her mother and that annoying reporter
I really love Sooyoung and Yoon Park chemistry, wish they could get another longer drama together
also Kang Hee, Hoon, and Ah Young dynamic, wish it could be explored more
and the kids in the hospital whom always on Yu Na's side 😂
I really wish this drama was an 8 episodes drama instead of 4

Short and basic

I tend to get excited when I come across a show with fewer episodes, as so many of the dramas have an inordinate amount of filler. Unfortunately, for me, this one was only able to scratch the surface of the characters and their personalities. The relationship between the father and daughter was very sweet, but the romance between the main couple was very lacking. The anxiety issues of the female lead moved along at a very quick rate, from being crippling to being totally fine, without really working through the issue completely, because of time constraints.

I enjoyed watching both of the actors, but I just wish the story had time to develop their relationship better.

A great letter in return

If you are in a drama slump or someone who enjoys mini series, then this is the watch for you. Because there are only four episodes, you may wish this series was longer or that there is more romance (which I wouldn't mind either) but, for the most part, I am okay with the series as is .

When we first meet Kang Hee, she may appear a little cold or uncaring but that impression will quickly vanish as we see her deal with the hate & stress that comes with being a top celebrity like her. As the synopsis says, the hate is part of the reason why she doesn't read or respond to fanletters. I won't spoil what happened but there is a specific incident when she was younger which influenced her up until her even more successful adult years. You can't help but to feel bad for her as it seems like she can't catch a break when it comes to things going wrong. (That's one of the reasons why I'm okay with this being a mini series - because I wouldn't like to see her continue to deal with issue after issue for more episodes.) However, even though she faced difficult situations, she kept her head high & stuck to her beliefs. It was refreshing to watch.

Because of Kang Hee's beliefs, she hesitates when Jung Seok, the ML & her first love, approaches her with the idea to pretend as if she really was the one who wrote back to his daughter, who is sick & her number one fan. In the end, she agrees & starts to become closer to him & his daughter. Jung Seok is a hard working & dedicated father so it's easy to like him. It's sweet to see him & Kang Hee rekindle their friendship & like. Yes, like most viewers I would've loved to see more of them as an actual couple but the focus of this story is more on each of them as individuals than anything else. & I don't think viewers will be disappointed by each of the leads' own stories either.

Like most celebrity dramas do, this also has an annoying paparazzi following her around to bring her down. There's also another jealous celeb & toxic parent creating drama. If this story was a full length drama, then those issues & characters would've played an even bigger role in the story than they did. So, while problems were resolved easier than maybe some viewers think, it is still satisfactory. Aside from wanting more episodes or depth, I don't think there is much a viewer can complain about. (5 is my standard rating for music when I don't remember it after finishing a drama but knowing it wasn't bad while I watched it.) I would recommend it, especially if you're looking for something easy & light to watch.

Beautiful

This story although short was a beautifully, well told love story. High school sweethearts (on their own - individually) come together later in life with their own stories of pain and heartache through the dream of one gorgeous little girl. She was so adorable and brilliant at her role. The two Leads and the girl were all brilliant in this drama.
Loved the wonderful way these two leads worked together to make this drama a wonderful story. The cast were magnificent and although short, the director did an amazing job at bringing this story to life.
The chemistry between the two leads was so good and although I’m not a huge fan of ML Yoon Park, I loved him in this story. FL Choi Soo Young never disappoints. Love love love her. ♥️

First Love to Forever

Fanletter, Please (2022)

Likes
1. I expected this to be a romcom but this turned out to be a melodrama. First 2 episodes were light, and sweet, second half was more serious. The story is simple, nothing new, but it worked because of the 2 leads and the cute kids.
2. Being a celebrity is really tough. You just get too many haters and people can easily ruin your reputation with a lie. But it's worse if the lies are coming from classmates and friends. I like Kanghee, i wish she had more friends who can defend her.
3. I also like Jungseok. Hope there's a way he can go back to being a lawyer although i understand his kid's welfare is more important to him.
4. I liked the first love trope and the leads meeting again still liking each other after all these years. And how they support each other.

Dislikes
Some might feel that the overall mood of the drama is gloomy and might find this boring, but I didn't because it was tightly written and was only for 4 episodes.

Rating: 8.5

Più che una romcom, una critica ai social media

L'idea di partenza era carina, adoro le storie che coinvolgono i fan e i loro idoli. Qui poi la fan era una bambina e il trailer prometteva una storia d'amore tra il padre di lei, bello e amorevole, e la star di turno star. Sulla carta era fantastico e dolce. Nella realtà purtroppo è stato una delusione. Il focus non era sulla balbina, non era sulla storia d'amore, ma sul passato dei protagonisti che guardacaso andavano a scuola assieme , su un trauma passato della star che così trauma non mi sembrava se confrontato con la malattia grave della bambina e soprattutto sui social media. Tutto il drama gira intorno all'uso distorto della stampa e dei social media che sembra possano far cambiare opinione a comando alla gente che viene vista come dei burattini senza cervello. E forse è vero. La conclusione è che na nessuno interessa la verità ma solo sparlare.

Dolce sentimentale e romantico!

Un mini dramma di soltanto 4 puntate però completo come se fosse uno da 16. C'è tutto nella trama un padre single con una figlia malata che è una fan adorante della ragazza che piaceva a suo padre ai tempi della scuola che però si sono persi con il tempo mentre lei è diventata una star. Prova a realizzare il desiderio della figlia e ritrova la sua amica anche se sembra che li complicherà solo la vita. Il problema è che loro si piacciono ancora ma lei ha troppi hater e li faranno allontanare ancora. Ma per fortuna il tutto si concluderà in un modo dolcissimo con un bel happy ending.
Molto bravi gli attori e fantastici i personaggi vari. Meravigliosa la piccola e il suo amicheto youtuber.
Vale sicuramente la pena guardarsi questo piccolo dramma.
