They made me feel like I was going through all of their issues
This was very good especially when the actors made me feel like I was going through everything with them the hardest for me is the parents control under the name its for your own good. However I think that those in a relationship need to love the other person enough to realize love will be there through it all, thinking your protecting someone by not sharing all of your life good or bad does damage the one who is left with confusion and heartache both sides should have a say if its to be forever!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

That ending...
I genuinely don't know what to say. It was going so well and then... I just can't accept the fact that the writers decided that THAT was a good ending.I have a theory tho. Jun's mother never specifically said that Jun was dead BUT she didn't deny it either, and that's what pisses me the most. I think Jun was unaware of what his mother was doing and he then knew the truth years later... but it just... if that's what really happened, I can't believe his mother was, at the end, the cruelest of them all.
And if that's not the case, and he planned all of this with his mother, I... If he did that, I'd be more pissed with the writers cause that's something that Jun's character would NEVER do, NEVER. It's not coherent with his character at all.
I can't think of other explanations, but I'm so mad that the writers ruined such a good drama with that shitty ending. Yes, I'm happy he's alive but the whole reason his death was hidden from Rara, I just don't understand it.
Okay, but besides that rant hahaha It's my first time seeing Jae wook's acting and I'm surprised. He's such a good actor at such a young age, I fell in love with him the moment he appeared on screen. I'd like to watch more of his dramas in the future.

Ridiculous ending spoiled it
I absolutely loved this drama, up to the point where Joon left Ra Ra. Things then proceeded to get ridiculously out of hand. What on earth were the writers thinking?!The bulk of this strangely inviting drama's episodes, were quirky, amusing, wonderfully cheesy and entertaining. The kind of silly-in-a-good-way drama that many of us crave at times.
I'm not a huge fan of Go Ara's work; not because she isn't a good actress, but because many of her roles put her in either frumpy, gaumless, or just plain irritating characters.
For me, this was one of her best roles, besides Ms Hammurabi, which I LOVED! (although she seemed to live in her coat in it).
Totally cosseted by her father and piano teacher, it's like she grew up in a bubble. When that bubble is burst, we are left with a character that has a child-like innocence and outlook ~ though by no means stupid, she is naive, coupled with amazing determination and an incredibly optimistic outlook. Although she is more ga-ga than Ra-Ra, I found her very likeable through her outlook and how she said what she thought, without filtering it.
Supporting characters were mixed ~ wealthy, controlling parents; an idyllic community with gossipy, good hearted middle-aged women; childhood love/hate friends; a villain; inept though menacing private investigators; suave doctor; slow police; and a sweetie of a grandpa figure.
There was lots of comedy, some very touching scenes, romance, lots of cheesy bike rides, piggy backs etc. and a mysterious element of threat for good measure.
It was also a welcome change to have a younger male, older female couple that weren't unnatural. Lee Jae Wook and Go Ara worked well together.
However, the last few episodes descended into the worst kind of melodramatic chaos, which left me feeling so disappointed in the script writing and, to a certain extent, the direction.
First there's the very nasty breakup... why? Then that's simply brushed to one side as Jun apologises via his excuse for it, of leaving the country to 'study'!
We soon find out why, whilst Ra-Ra is kept in the dark. Yet she seems to forgive him, as he leaves, even though she's told his going abroad to 'study' may lead to him settling there. What?!
Eventually, he's due back, only for Ra-Ra to be told he's passed away. Very moving and sad.
The writers should have had him cured instead, or left it at that, but no....
A whopping 5 YEARS later, he turns up fully cured, out of the blue.
What woman, after having her heart broken twice already (3 times if his departure is included), could forgive that?! Yet she welcomes him and comically punches him multiple times on the arms for deceiving her.
I'd have punched his lights out. Yes, I'd be so happy he was alive, but that would quickly be replaced by sheer anger at being allowed to suffer in grief. What if she'd married someone else?
There was also the bizarre giving of couples rings ~ Jun gifted matching rings, which for all intense and purposes were made to look like couples or wedding rings. Then Ra-Ra buys wedding rings with the intention of proposing to him, but that never happens. Bizarre.
Jun's overbearing father simply disappears from the entire story and his mother has a change of heart.
I am SO disappointed in this terribly lazy, badly written conclusion. What could have been a witty, charming rom-com, got mashed up with a dreadful melodramatic climax that ruined it.
I still think that apart from the latter episodes, it's an otherwise enjoyable watch, hence my rating not being 2/10.
However the end of it was its ruin. The writers should be fined and made to apologise for treating the viewing public like idiots!!!

This is what I get for starting a kdrama without reading the reviews.
First of all, the plot got so thick at some point I was wondering when it was gonna run out of "plot twists" it got really repetitive I don't think I've ever watched a kdrama with this many plot this but it did nothing interesting to the plot cause it made it seem like it all came back to her being impressionable and naive and she was that the whole show didn't matter how many characters came to tell her "You've grown so much".And the lies of the main male character got really unacceptable towards the end of the show, first I got it, he lied to her about his whole life AND AGE (kinda weird) cause his family sucked and he was running away, okay got it, then about them breaking up cause he asked her mother for a ton of money and even went and paid this dude take fake pictures of him with this other small twist of a character that lasted like 2 episodes and left, questionable but okay I guess, then about the reason he was going o "study" abroad for but actually forget the break up I'm gonna keep leading you on but still hiding this BIG illness I have, what the fuck, and finally his mom coming to town insinuating he was dead and giving her and other letters of "goodbye"ish messages and everyone just grieving and being sad for him to come back years later cause he wanted her to see him "healthy" again ohmyfucking god no, this is not the character development I wanted, so she, till the last episode was impressionable and naive and stayed with a man that lied their whole relationship and hid so many important stuff about him, should've stayed with the doctor tbh, I'm so mad.
My lesson: I shall never start a kdrama without reading the reviews, forgive me mydramalist reviews I have failed you.

BEAUTIFUL DRAMA...
For me Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol is the best drama of 2020.I don't bother at all with negative comments about the last episode.
the writer has the right to write a play as he wishes.
You have to all admit that Go Ara and Lee Jae Wook have done a great job in this difficult period of the corona virus that every nation is facing.
honestly I enjoyed watching this drama, I laughed a lot I cried but I also fell in love.
Jun and Ra ra deserved their happy ending.
Leukemia is a severe disease, but it is not incurable if it is responded to in a timely and timely manner.
jun believed in himself all the time and knew he had to fight for himself and the person he loved.
every honor Go Ara and Lee Jae Wook on excellent and enchanting chemistry by me the best.
I also want to tell everyone that the OST of this drama is truly wonderful
I hate people who leave negative comments for this wonderful drama.
You better stop because you spoil the mood of others and me personally because I adore this drama.
This drama has brought so much joy and love into my life and it will always remain in my memory and of course I will watch it many more times with my loved ones.
One day when the corona virus situation stabilizes I want to visit Seul and Eunpo (Mokpo) I also want to try South Korean food and get to know their culture better.
And in the end I totally fell in love with Lee Jae Wook he is so handsome and charismatic and he is only two years older than me.

Last few episodes - a huge dissapointment
Well, well, well.. where to begin? DDSSLLS is supposed to be a cute romcom, which it is... until episode 12. After that it turns into a melodrama, which was not something I wanted! If this drama had continued being cute and lighthearted until the very end, I would have given this 8.5/10. So in short, DDSSLLS started out as cute, sweet and heartwarming, but ended up being a huge letdown, leaving me bitter and dissapointed. It lost its charm and when finishing it, I felt cold. No warmth, happiness or whatsoever (I felt warmth, happiness, giddiness, overall positive feelings, in the earlier episodes, but for the last few episodes I felt nothing). I don't have to go in depth what this drama is about, but in short: Ra Ra is a spoiled, immature pianist who has been living in a bubble all her life. Her father is wealthy so she has never had to have anything to worry about. But one day her father dies and leaves her poor having nothing, she was also left on the altar when she was supposed to get married. The only thing she has left is her super adorable pomeranian Mimi. If that's not enough, she gets scammed. So Ra Ra ends up in a small town, where she meets a lots of new people - including Jun. There she eventually opens a piano academy. Also there is "Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol" (Twinkle, twinkle little star) someone who always is "there" to encourage Ra Ra, but no one knows who that person is, that person is encouraging Ra Ra through media. As the series goes on, Ra Ra matures.I know many people don't like Go Ah Ra's acting. I can't comment on her acting in previous dramas since I haven't watched any of them, but in this drama she does a great job playing the bubbly, cheerful, naive girl. Maybe that's the kind of role that suits her the most because IRL she is also bubbly and cheerful (that's what I heard). Lee Jae Wook, this is his first drama as the ML, he did an amazing job. He is truly a very talented actor... I have never seen any previous dramas with him either, but I known about him because I heard from so many people how great he is and that he should get a leading role. Because of the high praises he gotten, he was one of the reasons I started this drama. The rest of the cast did all a great job as well, so nothing wrong with the acting!
Ra Ra and Jun were so freakin' cute together, they gave me butterflies. And I had a small crush on Jun, so handsome and reliable. Their chemistry was great and I rooted for those two to be together. Jun was such a puppy in love, head over heels in love with Ra Ra. He did so much for her, which was heart fluttering! But, after Jun's real identity was discovered, I felt for some reason that the chemistry between those two began lacking, I became less invested in their romance. I think I know why... this drama started going a bit downhill, it started getting on my nerves. Why? Because Jun and Ra Ra never really had the time to properly date, something always got in their way and they broke up three times! Like, seriously. I wanted to see those two actually be together properly, but they never were not even for one episode! And then we have the overused noble idiocy, having Jun breaking up with Ra Ra for her own "good", but the way he broke up with her and pretending to cheat on her was annoying. Did he really have to go so far?? And don't get me started on last episode... one of the most rushed and forced endings I ever seen! Okay, I can forgive Jun's actions in previous episodes for hurting Ra Ra so deeply, but OMG last episode I wanted to punch both him and his mom! I won't spoil, but let's just say if someone did to me what those two did, I would be furious. The ending, gosh... was SO stupid!
This drama has cliches after cliches in the last few episodes. I don't usually mind cliches - as long as its done in a good way. But for this drama, its done in a bad way. Felt to me like the screenwriter ran out of ideas or got lazy/ lost interest in this drama. And when some even are unsure about the ending, it just shows the screenwriter is bad at her job. This drama was full of heart, so sweet and heartwarming but lost its charm and heart, sadly.
As I wrote earlier, the cast did all a great job. Especially veteran Lee Soon Jae who plays the sweet grandpa. His love story with his dead wife was so so sweet and beautiful. We see flashbacks of young Kim Man Bok and his love in 1960s, played also by Lee Jae Wook and Go Ah Ra, which was cool.
I liked the small community, they all felt like a family always there for each other. The ahjummas of the "divorce club" was fun to watch! And Jin Ha Young, a girl who fell easily in love with guys, who's chilhood best friend was Lee Seung Gi, who always secretly had feelings for her... at first I didn't ship them together because I felt Ha Young could be so mean to him, but when she started falling for him as well, I warmed up to this couple. As for Cha Eun Seok, I was neutral towards him. At first I fond him creepy and I was not sure if he was a good or bad person.
So, would I recommend this drama? No. There are so much better romcoms out there, that doesn't turn into melodramas in the later episodes, they stay good until the end. I loved Jun so much but I don't love him as much anymore. However, I will definitely watch more of Lee Jae Wook's future dramas that's for sure, the way he can express so much with just his eyes is amazing!

NOPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
i finished this kdrama today and honestly i really disliked it? i started it like months ago and struggled finishing it for so long, it started feeling like a burden because once i start something i NEED to finish it but it was just so…boring. it was repetitive and it kept going in circles and the plot felt like it wasn’t moving anywhere. also i really hated the ending like bro theres no way they did that? it was so out of pocket…basically the main character was diagnosed with cancer and they made it look like he died because the mother of the main character told everyone (including his gf) thats hes fr dead…they did a 5year time skip and he came back out of nowhere to reveal he’s alive and he just wanted them to think hes dead because he wanted to recover fully before coming back LIKE ARE YOU MENTAL IN WHAT WORLD IS THAT OK….5YEARS OF MENTAL TORTURE BC U THOUGHT UR PARTNER IS DEAD……….uhm i personally would not let that slide ????? but yeah im glad i finished this finally but i dont recommend it…if youre like me and feel the need to finish what uve started, ur just gonna trap urself with this one ?

#DoDoSolSolLaLaSol (도도솔솔라라솔) Review:
1) 9/10
2) This drama played out like a song—light-hearted; messes up and stirs up your emotions down until the last note drops.
3) 나는 너무 좋아한닥고 노래.
4) 긋 긋 긋!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5) And then again, Netflix app doesn't allow screenshots (idk if it's only on mobile or my phone alone).

Oh God…no
Like most reviewers have already said, this was cute and fluffy and fun up until the last few episodes. I rarely just binge watch episode after episode but I did this one. I really liked it. Then it took a devastating turn.Let me say the thing I HATE the most in dramas is the breakup because “I don’t like you anymore” (when they really do) just to protect the other person. That is the most hurtful thing you can do. Plus, you don’t know how the other person will react if you tell the truth.
But then, on top of that, to be told he was DEAD when he wasn’t. Then for him to return in 5 years? That was plenty of time for her to move on. After that, we had like 5 minutes of them together and it wasn’t satisfying at all. They just sat on the hill talking like nothing had happened. I almost wished he had stayed dead instead of an ending like this. At least, then, it would have been a beautiful, heartbreaking love story.
Who knew a fun, romantic comedy would have such a completely unnecessary and devastating ending.

Promising story, horrible conclusion - UGH
DDSSLLS was solidly enjoyable in the beginning. Ra Ra was a bit of an airhead compared to my usual tastes in FMCs, but she was innocent and wasn't malicious at all. Her struggles were cliched, but believable - a fallen heiress having to adjust to life without. But who picked Ra Ra's wardrobe? It was okay *sometimes*, but most of the time, it was AWFUL. I know that name-brand expensive clothing can be pretty ridiculous, but this is crazy. Just WHY? *shakes head*ANYways, the side characters were also entertaining. I generally liked all of the side characters and their stories, but my favorite was Jun.
Jun was precious and a classic tsundere and I loved him 100%. My fierce adoration for him is why I'm pretty upset with how his story turned out. I was surprised by the initial plot twist in (I think) episode 6, but recovered quickly because the plot twist didn't destroy who he was. But once Jun's big secret was revealed, I wasn't a fan of how they wrote his story around his tiger mom. And THEN they wrote his "tragedy" into the finale and I just couldn't stomach all the flaws in their story writing anymore. How is it possible that this is the same screenwriter from Shopping King Louie?! (Though, not to go off onto a complete tangent, but Terius Behind Me flopped too sooooo. >.< )
I'm not sure why the writers felt the need to go in the direction they did in the last 6 or so episodes, but it didn't make me happy or satisfy me at all. Just because they "overcome" tragedy doesn't mean that their story all of a sudden becomes more endearing (this could apply to more than 1 character/set of characters). *sigh* And then the time jump in the end before the "epilogue" was such a cop out (so many products in entertainment do this and ugh it's annoying). *roll eyes* Write a strong ending/conclusion instead of a forced "happily-ever-after" after destroying the story with garbage tragedy and plot inconsistencies and fallacies.
I wouldn't recommend this drama. The beginning seems like it'll be a fluffy, sweet, drama, but it's really not worth it, even if the majority of the drama is light and fun. The conclusion to this drama really brought down this story.

The last few episodes left me annoyed
So I will agree with most of the reviews. Great potential but WTF with the last two+ episodes. There was a lot of potential to deepen the stories of practically any character without have to do a "well we have a two more episodes to do- which should just throw random things at it to keep people watching." So disappointed. And yes if someone disappears for 5 years and said psyche "I'm not dead" that is way too messed up for words. Being in a real relationship is about being together for better or worse.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

It was good until the last few episodes.
I honestly enjoyed watching this show. I loved every minute I spent on it.However, the story went downhill by episodes 13-16. It was as if the writers changed or didn't know what to do with the plot. I was fine with a sad ending with how they ended it with LJW's character, until they brought him back after five years just for the sake of having a "happy ending", which ruined the finale for me.
Overall, the show was good and the cast definitely did great in portraying their characters.
