I Know But (2021)

Not for fan sweet and cozy

It was a long time ago that nothing Korean caught my attention. I turned it on Netflix just because it was the most recent title added ...
My first impression - hmmm strange. The guy was a brute, and the girl did well to send him to hell. The form reminded me of Lovestruck in the city, which I did not manage to finish ... I looked for the remote tv but it was too far away and the coffee smelled so nice under my breath. So the series flew on with my laziness. Well, I was lost ...
I watched the drama in one day. It was something different and new for Korean productions. There was no rich dude, no poor lady in need. And a billion strange intrigues would fall in love with him. Instead, there was pure chemistry called ordering. There are no sweet dates here, no sublime scenes with buying a funfair to confess your feelings ... There is sex. And in fact, nothing else connects the main characters, apart from a passion for art. Simple attraction.
ML narcissists, abandoned by their mother, collects women, likening them to fleeting butterflies. Until finally she comes across this one .
FL an ordinary, unremarkable person who does not know his own value ...
And this is how the game of attraction and repulsion begins ... A toxic relationship where the girl, despite having a great party next to it, wades all the time in the swamp. Like in a fog, over and over again, going back to the starting point. And it was so realistic.
Actually, I felt like I was watching the Korean remake After only the guy is not aggressive punk.

Another plus was the supporting characters and their developed stories.
The whole thing is very realistic and so real.

Sometimes it's worth getting out of the comfort zone and watching something else. Maybe someone will see themselves in FL and will see through their eyes, freeing themselves from the toxic relationship ...

worth the wait!

I‘ve been waiting for this drama to be available in my country and was so happy when I could finally watch it. And let me tell you - I’ve ever finished a drama so quickly. I mean yes - there were only 10 episodes (which was a pretty good length for this kind of drama imo!) - but I still couldn‘t get enough of this one.
First of all the cast in this drama is amazing and I didn’t only love the main characters and their chemistry, but also the side characters and their narratives.
The story might not be the most special or extraordinary one, but it was still really enjoyable and easy to watch. It made me laugh, fall in love with the characters and root for them until the very end. The music was really good as well!
Overall really recommend this one.

Uma resenha bem "justa" (com base na minha visão de mundo, é claro)

Certo, vamos lá...
Este drama é bem realista. Ele entrega relacionamentos que fazem sentido, o clichê aqui foi reformulado e talvez não tenha feito efeito algum, porque no final deu na mesma: final feliz pros protagonistas, os casais secundários se desenvolvendo e assumindo e tudo bem.
Entretanto, algumas coisas nesse drama me fizeram chegar nesse episódio final dizendo um "ainda bem que não dropei": a Sol e a Ji Wan terem um desenvolvimento aceitável, não foi exatamente o que esperava, mas pelo menos o final feliz foi garantido. Embora os personagens sejam muito rasos e o telespectador termine a história com essa sensação de que só "viu" os fatos acontecerem e não se aprofundou muito, é uma distração bem-vinda (os atores principais deram um casal bem crível, sério, embora fossem um pé no saco a construção da intimidade entre eles foi ótima). Espero encontrar no futuro um drama com esse nível de representação de romances realistas e intimidade, mas com uma história mais complexa e bem trabalhada, além de um casal protagonista que chame a atenção (tinha tudo pra dar certo lá nos dois primeiros episódios, e de alguma maneira , virou algo tão monótono que até mesmo os professores que moravam juntos tavam roubando mais a cena).

Realistic and enjoyable

I have seen that lots of reviewers found many of flaws with this drama and yes there are some there is no doubt about it. In general however this drama was very enjoyable (i watched without knowing the Webtoon) and to me it felt very real and relateable.
The relationsship between the main characters I can totally understand. Instant attraction is rare, but is it enough to build a real relationship? Can you ever be satisfied with a half relationsship especially if you are emotionally invested? Would you rather stay safe and not tell somebody you love them instead of risking heart ache? If you are very good friends first how will that play out if you move this relationship to the next level?
Everybody is scared of rejection and loosing people close to you and through the side stories these is shown very well. There is also he dilemma about having choices and even if you know that long term somebody might be better for you if the spark is missing would that be enough to try?
Lots here is also showing how communication really is the problem in most relationsships. Not saying what you really feel and want because you want to protect yourselve. Making assumptions about people and how they feel and just playing some strange games even though you know all you want to do is be with that person.
So yes, I did enjoy it even though sometimes you just want to scream at the screen and shake them. I am personally not a big fan of the main male lead, This actor only seems to do the broody sexy thing and there is nothing wrong with it per se but I just not seen him proper acting....
I actually only started watching it because Seunghyub is also in this drama but then ended up enjoying it and binge watching the whole thing (only 10 episodes)

Most Enjoyable

I'm totally fascinated by the people who gave this drama a negative review simply because the main lead treated the female lead badly (thier words not mine). So Dear Reader, when you read reviews also keep in mind that reviews are subjective and people put their personal feelings into the review instead of analysing the drama for what it is.

Park Jae Eon from Episode 1 showed his true self and what he wanted, Yoo Na Bi knew this yet went ahead with the relationship .... so why are you all mad when things went south? It was inevitable. Yoo Na Bi was actually irritating. She spend all the time listening to other people's opinions and then went from one bad decision to another and her clear desperations made her jump from man to man. Relationships are toxic if you don't know what you are getting into, but if you walk into the relationship knowing exactly what you are getting then that's your choice.

Realistic? Absolutely! Yes people, this is reality. There was none of that fluffy, all roses, nauseating and irritating romance that Korean dramas just love to give us, and makes me fast forward.

I enjoyed this drama and watched it in one sitting because I simply couldn't stop watching. I had to see what's next? It was a great storyline that flowed from start to finish, episode to episode. Definitely will watch it again.

The music was awesome, so I went out and purchased the album.

Esperaba otro "final"

A mi me ha gustado bastante este drama, quizás porque estoy acostumbrada a ver más de otro tipo de dramas peeero esté lo vi por el actor Song Kang puesto que me quedé con ganas de ver mas de él después de Love Alarm 2 (si, se que también está Sweet Home xD) y no sé, me gustó mucho al principio, la química que tienen ambos actores es brutal a mi parecer para mi ha estado todo de 10, incluso la fotografía de todos los capítulos a excepción de estos episodios donde tuvieron que recortar las escenas de Kim Min Gwi debido a lo que salió sobre él pues fue un poco "mareo" pues al menos a mi me sacaba un poco de toda la historia, no quiero decir que esas partes estén mal editadas pero se nota bastante. Mi único pero fue el final de este drama pues esperaba otra cosa no sé, creo alargaron demasiado con escenas sin dialogo y sin ir muy allá. No sé, esperaba quizás ver un poco mas a Nabi y Jae Uhn como al principio. A pesar de lo dicho lo recomiendo 100% y que en breve al menos en Netflix España sale el 29 de agosto así que quizás incluso lo vuelvo a ver.


PD: Tengo ganas de ver a Song Kang en el nuevo drama que está rodando, al contrario que la gente que dice que debe descansar, entiendo que esté tan activo pues en breve deberá ir al servicio militar :'(

Are great visuals and overflowing chemistry worth it ?

Nevertheless, one of the most anticipating and talked about show stated to be portraying 'realistic relationship' with it's ups and down.

their chemistry dang their scenes have a separate fanbase count me as a CEO of that fanbase I mean considering it being a part of K-drama which is kind of conservative coming to displaying intimate scenes it was rather a shock and dedass made me choke on my breath save to say their chemistry carried the show it was a delight to not see forced scenes which makes you hella uncomfortable kudos to the actors for such flawless execution

Na Bi an insecure girl not having enough experience of relations got out a toxic relation only to end up with a dude full of red flags if you can set aside the 'we're portraying the reality of couple' the hey you're good to go but still if you stuck with the real portrayal oh boi you mey be disappointed babe just take some popcorns be ready to swoon over their hot chemistry at one minute and scream from utmost frustration the next minute. Still the way she stands up for herself and speaks out her thoughts is rather unique and her not being the shy reserved FL is also a plus point people, she is grown ass adult she must make some mistakes and learn from them that's how life works it not always rainbows and butterflies (oops well there were lots of butterflies to find here tho ;) )

Jae Eon's character was rather skeptical and yet controversial pretty sure his great visuals and acting placed a part in making you feel vulnerable and indecisive from the very start his character sketch was mmhh pretty clear a playboy who restricts himself getting involved in nothing more than physical relations and not get emotionally invested in another individual and over the course of ten episodes his backstory was well not discovered at all just a hot dude who wants to have flings with Nabi but later kinda starts having complicated feelings which is pretty new for him just the usual playboy getting changed by our very own miss naive and innocent FL . His own personal life could have been focused upon more and would have given views more insight on this actions and the way he thinks but it's pretty biased to say that he did not change he did and eventhough the charcter development was bit slow but you ca see the emotions and the way he acted and how much he cares about Nabi

The whole second ML intervention in the story was rather forced and pretty cringe and stereotyped considering displaying him as an 'innocent and naive' individual his character arch was rather questionable.

Coming to production firstly, cinematography the director really made them bucks count amazing cinematography the was the scenes were captured whether it be of characters or the places just amazing over top of that the amazing soundtrack really loved the osts

Most importantly, representation of lgbqt community a rather appreciable and great step taken by the writers loved the interaction between the couple and their interactions were just natural and not clingy or stereotyped.

Never have I ever seen a 10 episode drama that was this dragged, but nevertheless...

Now this drama had an amazing plot, beautiful and amazing cast but! What the hell were they doing in the second half?!
I’m going to try and avoid spoilers as much as possible in this review but I can’t deny myself the urge to vent. The romance was hot and steamy, something we look for in most romance drama, but it was short lived and it started turning toxic.
You know how a 10 episode drama is usually straight to the point and has no unnecessary drama? Well this one has a lot of unnecessary drama. But all in all it was really good watch. Lots of eye candy men to gawk at, good chemistry too. You should watch it, but don’t except too much.

If i will talk about this drama it will take me forever. This drama have a deep meaning regarding relationships with realistic stories and that what made this drama so special to me. Like me as a person love keeping my eyes in the details and for me this drama was perfect the smallest details made me realize how this drama really focusing in everything which i dont think everyone will like this drama i feel its made for certain people who have different perspective of relationships because its not like any romantic triangle love its just more than that, and i have to repeat the drama in the winter because the vibes are just perfect for that season i really do recommend the drama if you are so emotional and think out of the box also missed the college vibes then this drama for you dont expect so much or so little just enjoy how well this drama is directed the chemistry between all the couple in the drama aslo the side stories are amazing and moreover you will enjoy the osts.
its not about who the FL will end up with its about what she really want and at the end nevertheless of all what she tasted sweet and mostly sour moments with park jaeoen she still wanted to be with him, she like being hurt but at least she’s doing what she want at the end. also their characters really do match firstly she doesn’t acknowledge her feelings and he also doesn’t speak or even act upon what he want ( they don’t communicate at all) and i see they deserve each other because both of them are toxic let them be together until they realize that them being together it’s better than hurting other innocent people who deserve better than them.

Wonderful drama

She has low ratings, but I want to see what happens next in this drama !! Возможно первые 2 серии были для вас скучными, но всё впереди !! Очень интересно сделать за развитием отношений героев. Поддастся ли она его чарам? Что же он сделает? Так и останется бабником? Дорама имеет нетипичный рейтинг, 19+, это новинка в Корее, хотелось бы чтобы эта новинка осталась
