Just a watchable one..!!
Its more like a complicated love story with so many flaws throughout to the finale Episode. Not the typical style of likable narration but again they done a decent making and sensible justification for the Characters and all may leads this drama to a watchable one. As a big fan of realistic and kind of slice of life melodramas am happy with the way the drama goes , but i felt some dragging in the finale Episodes. The change in the gear kind of feeling and it was so sudden to accept and its so annoying for me bcoz when the male protagonist always mess everything all the time.Particularly for this drama the story always against the male character even in the beginning also. Lee soo, he was a very bad Character in nature we can see that in the first pace of the drama and the heroin kyong woyoon who always kept her unrequited first love for over ten year now, and the guy she loved wants to stay friend with her even though in this long time of gap (its mentioned in the plot)
There is a big love traingle in the middle but if you look at the female leads point of view it makes sensible. There were also 2 other pairs struggling with their love life. One factor i found good here was even though there is big love traingle in the drama,there was no unwanted over traingle sequence like kisses even jealousy etc, they managed everything under control. I really liked the sixth Episode that beginning animation story which apply to the end of that Episode was really beautiful. The two other pairs was also good . I felt one thing that it probably a much better drama if they concluded everything under 12 Episodes. Because you just unnecessarily pushing Episodes in order to target 16 Episodes, too many dragging and unwanted scenes may occur, i felt that in the finale 3 Episodes. But again ending was beautiful.
Overall more than friends was a watchable romantic drama for me , but again i Watched in between a week gap with 2 Episodes each at the time of it airs, opinion may be different if you are a binge watcher. Give it a try if your interested.. :-)

I never thought I would be able to finish this drama. I went back on this drama three times after being frustrated. I watched Cdramas to lighten up my mood. The problem with KDrama is that the writers think life has so many problems. Problem after problem. I know life is not easy but watching a drama with so many problems is so depressing. Story-
The issue here is that Lee Soo's misunderstood because he doesn't express himself or open up, I think even when he was dating Woo Yeon he still did not open up. He grew up in a broken family, the reason why he doesn't know how to love. Also, I don't know what to say with Kim Young Hee's 10 yrs of Unrequited love. Should I admire her? Pity her? Or knock her head so she would wake up? Their relationship is so messed up because they do not talk. They call each other so often but do not really talk.
Then another depressing here is the life of Kim Young Hee. Why is her life so hard? I just can't understand the reasoning that you cannot get married if you are so poor or if you're mother is sick. Young Hee does not want to share her burden with Hyun Jae but that's how relationship works. That's why you are partners. I wish to have a partner like Hyun Jae, someone who can love me unconditionally, who loves all my flaws and will always be there even I already gave up.
I cried when Hyun Jae visited her mother in the hospital after they broke up. Then I cried a lot when Young Hee's mom died, then cried again when the 2 friends showed up and comforted her, then Hyun Jae cried.
I love the friendship here, that I am so jealous. I hope I have friends that I can meet after work, can drink if happy or sad. Friends that I grew up with.
Cast
All the casts did well. Maybe I did not drop this drama because of their good acting. There are funny moments that helps me forget the sad part of the drama.
Music
I love the songs. All the songs really suited the drama.
Rewatch
I am not sure if I will watch this again as this drama made me cry so bad. I may not watch it again but for sure I will not forget this drama.
Overall
This could have been better if the writer lessen the issues of the cast.

In an unrequited love with what this drama could've been...
Do you really love the 14-15th episodes of k-dramas when the leads break up and everything is moody and sad? If so, then this drama is for you!Story: The idea of unrequited love being flipped onto the other person like a curse was actually a nice concept, but there was no evolution. None of the plotlines had much growth in general. The problems the couples had in episode one, were the same problems they had in episode sixteen. It just got old and overly drawn out. The drama had its cute moments and I enjoyed most of it, but I got tired of the same plot every episode.
Acting/Cast: They really did all they could with the script that was given to them. The ML's acting has improved since Moment of Eighteen.
Music: Wonderful
Rewatch Value: Probably not
Overall: Throughout the drama, I felt an indescribable feeling of sadness(?) like I was in an unrequited love too. Kind of depressing and you wonder why they all ended up happy together, but I'm not mad at it. Just a little disappointed with the writers.

Bruh
You must have seen lots of reviews complaining about this drama. I would have to say that I also have the same thought.The only reason I watched this till the end is Shin Ye Eun. I'm her fan. So if you aren’t one of the actors fan just skip this one.
Don’t waste your 18 hrs. I beg ❤️ (Just to make it reach 500 characters ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssSssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssSssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssSssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssSssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssSssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssSssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssSssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssSssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss )

Not as Bad as Some Say...
I liked this one. I understood why the characters acted the way they did. And, with similar interests (arts) and not really moving from their birthplaces - it is easy to understand why they kept running into each other.I appreciated his growth. Keeping people at bay his entire life, when he finally admitted to himself that he liked someone - he didn't know what to do. Too much pride to ask anyone and too scared to risk being rejected. Loved his honesty. Her growth was well done. It took her time to get a backbone and start to fight back. To decide not to be a doormat takes time.
The parents? Understandable. Dad finally got it. He thought he had a chance to start over and she thought she was finally set free. I agree they should have divorced sooner. I appreciated the Dad's attempts at reconciliation with the son but, I would have been the same - thanks but, no thanks.
You need a triangle to create tension in the relationships. So, understood why we had the CEO involved. I will be happy to see how these last few episodes go.

Simple and beautiful
There are many different kinds of dramas coming out nowadays and while that's great and exciting, sometimes it's nice to sit back, take a pause and watch something that reminds us of the kind of shows we first fell in love with.The story is not something new, it's tried and tested and it works, it's beautiful but what makes this drama great for me is the small moments between the leads.
Moments of old friendships with the kind of bond that can only form over time.
This drama is also fast paced so there aren't any dull moments and the OST oh my god I cannot express how much I love the soundtrack <3
Furthermore, the leads look great together and have amazing chemistry.
The direction, music direction, acting, storyline everything put together is just beautiful and makes you feel like you are in love.

love this drama♥♥
I really liked the drama and I don't understand how I didn't see it until now, the drama contains a realistic life story of teenagers and adults, a story of the right timing in the lives of all couples (both the teenagers and the adults, children / parents) the opportunities that are lost due to bad timing, the drama Touches the depths of the soul and touches on issues such as divorce, marriage, relationships between parents and children, love between couples and between parents (what is love - sacrifice is given), friendship, caring feelings and sensitivity to others. Great acting by all the characters. The characters manage to convey to the viewer the spectrum of emotions, from joy to design in a phenomenal way. I highly recommend watching it and reading between the lines of the wonderful script, which is conveyed to the viewer both through the photographer (his photos and photographs) and through the proverbs (calligraphy) she writes on the postcards.I have only one comment regarding the length of the drama, in my opinion they could have shortened it to 12 episodes and still would not have detracted from the message of the drama, and the plot would not have been damaged.

La serie gira entorno a Kyung Woo Yeon, una calígrafa, y a Lee Soo, un fotógrafo. Ellos son amigos desde la adolescencia, ¿o más que amigos?
Woo Yeon está enamorada de Lee Soo hace die
z años, pero él parece no sentir lo mismo que ella. Durante los 16 capítulos iremos viendo como estos dos amigos viven un amor siempre a destiempo, lleno de malentendidos y complicaciones.
Decidí ver este drama porque me llamó mucho la atención el póster. La empecé sin grandes expectativas, y dentro de todo me llevé una gran sorpresa. Pensé que iba a ser uno de esos doramas que solo se centran en la pareja principal y en nada más, pero por suerte esta serie le da bastante protagonismo a los personajes secundarios, principalmente a las amigas de la protagonista. Es muy interesante ver las distintas personalidades y problemas que tienen cada una de ellas, y te dan ganas de saber más sobre las chicas. Creo que esto es de lo que más me gustó de la serie.
Pasemos a los protagonistas, que son el eje central:
El personaje de Kyung Woo Yeon me gustó mucho, a veces se me hacía un poco “densa” con todo este amor no correspondido, pero en líneas generales me gustó muchísimo, me parecía súper simpática, y me gustó ver cómo con el avance de la serie fue creciendo y aprendiendo a quererse a sí misma.
El personaje de Lee Soo, me pareció ok. Al principio tenía un poco de conflictos con él porque me parecía un poco egoísta, pero con el correr de los capítulos se redimió un poco. Igualmente, no llegué a enamorarme de él.
Por otro lado tenemos a Ohn Jun Soo, el second lead. Cuando apareció yo estaba living con él, tenía todo lo digno de un Second Lead Syndrom, pero a medida que pasaban los episodios se puso medio denso, no entendía un par de cosas que la prota le decía y eso terminó haciendo que pierda todo mi interés en él.
La pareja principal no me disgustó, pero tampoco me encantó. Es cómo que tenían momentos súper cutes, pero no terminó de “matarme” su historia de amor. Lo que sí destaco de ellos, es que notaba que tenían mucha química.
Está lejos de ser uno de mis doramas favoritos, pero si ya no saben qué ver y tienen ganas de algo bastante entretenido y muy bonito visualmente, denle una oportunidad

Everlasting Love
This drama focuses on how a relationship builds on friendship that turns to love. Being in love in schools and how family ties help in shaping the personality of an individual. We can see the youths are struggling in finding love and their own identity. How family background shapes up the stability of the family and sometimes shaken the family relationships due to working conditions.But at the end of the day, by hard work, loves, and support, they manage to overcome all the troubles.
I love the characters portray. Good job to everybody. Nice Scenery.

Reasons why I dont support the love line between the girl and the male lead character
First of all, I would like to say that I don't have nothing against the actors, and all I'm saying it here it's just about the characters.Good points:
* The support characteres seems to have a background history and they're showing it to the viewrs in a nice and complete way, what make us understand why they act the way they acts, and it its really a good thing since theyre not there just to be the "support characteres".
* The scenes are well produceds and the takes are good to see, the cinematography its on point.
* The OST its on point.
* All characteres have some line that can be taken as "real life lessons" and its showed thorugt theis personalities and the way they had to solve theirs lives struggles.
Bad points:
* For me the main problem of this drama is about the love line being build in a way where the male lead its a jerk one and the female lead it's almost a submissive one who's exccessively good for that problematic guy.
I mean its already 2020 and I think everyone agree that's there no more time to lose with that "old and cringe" history where the "handsome and rich guy is a jerk one, have no education, its cold, and the poor girl will make him "change" and realize that he likes her, but until he realizes it he'll be a total idiot and treat her like a garbage".
I think almost everyone is aware that it's not a "cute thing" anymore, but instead it's a toxic guy building a toxic relationship, and the way they're putting it like if he's the victim its the worst problem.
They should've put this in a way that the viewers would be able to see that is something wrong, but they're letting he acts like that and at the end he will take the girl, so it wents likes "anyways", it's like the message what they're passing through the drama is: "its okay to be a jerk one, you just need to have a reason to act that way" for the guys, and for the girls like, "its okay to be treated like a garbage because the guy its doing it to you just because he don't knows how to deal with his own feelings, but he likes you, he's acting like a bad guy, but he's a good one, right? you just need to be patient and wait for him to realize that he loves you, you just need to support him and his things and be mistreatened a just a bit more right, you can do it for him right?".
Like what????? no one should be treated as this way, its totally bad to see a woman who works, who do her things to make her live having to be at this situation to "win a guy's heart" its totally wrong.
And the fact that this drama it's already predictable and we already know which one she will be in the end it's making it even worse. The male lead have issues with relationships since his parents marriage was a disaster and he's putting all of his trauma into the others, rather than they're his employes or the girl he "likes", he just has no respect for everyone, and keep wanting the female lead to be next to him, he's not good for her, but he don't want to let her go, he wants her next to him even knowing she's suffering from this kinda of relationship, and when she asked to end the firendshipo he went like "no, I want to keep seeing you", but please, she's not his psycoologist or something like this, if hes not ready for love its okay, but he should let her go, and live her life as well.

Tired, old trope and I don't have time for that.
So, i gave this drama 2 chances. episode 1, then episode 2. I'm not interested in seeing anymore because we all know how it's going to end.Neither of the 2 leads are likeable.
This entire show is just a case of drawing it out with pointless drama, when we all know the pushover FL is going to end up with the jerk she's had a crush on since she was a schoolgirl. This drama gives me "fake deep" vibes.
You know, its kinda try hard? Like it WANTS to be a really deep, maybe profound romance thing, thats like deep, but thats kinda hard to take seriously when the FL's been pining over a stupid highschool crush for more than 10 years. Like wth? Girl, its been a whole decade. Move on? And the ML is an asshole and I can't get behind him lmao.
it took me 10 seconds to see the second male lead and instantly realize i was going to get second-lead syndrome. the second male lead could have been an entire light post and the same thing would happen ;-; that's how hard it is to root for any of these characters.
Anyways, this entire "relationship" is just toxic, the story is going to be the most painful, excruciatingly long CHORE of a drama to finish; and I don't have time for that :) dramas should NEVER turn into a chore for me to dread watching. I'll keep my light-hearted do do sol sol la la sol tyvm. This can stay on the shelves :)
tl;dr nothing that's already been said about this (in all the other low rating reviews) is any different from what i'm sayinG. I just wrote this review anyways, because a 8.0 rating is lowkey deceptive. this drama isn;t worth anyone's time :/ Good production quality and a decent OST can't save bad writing. This is the old, tired trope of childhood friends to lovers, only executed in the nastiest way possible. Hard pass.

Nothing new, nothing fresh but still watchable!
I think Shin Ye Eun haven't learn anything from her previous project, the Cat drama, I mean, I almost died of frustration and there was nothing in that drama, no logic, no story and above all poor production. SYE choose this drama for reasons only she knows, but this series has same elements as the previous one - unrequited love, suffering, innocent female, stubborn male, poor second lead.JTBC is best at producing romantic slow place dramas, I love their dreamy settings, use of Jeju Island, raining scenes and subtle interaction between leads. However, it has toxic environment more than it requires. Based on 2 episodes, and my experience, this drama is not going anywhere in terms of creativity and story. Two leads fighting over female lead, and viewers guessing who she will end up with is a trademark plot of Korean TV industry and then there is always feeling of immense sadness for poor second lead.
However, More Than Friends will still be addictive to many, reason? Isn't it obvious? People are more focused on idol boy OSW than the story itself. As long as this Idol boy chasing girl, whom he disregarded earlier and used her as a pawn to satisfy his own feelings only to reject her thrice, for his disbelief in love and dysfunctional family problems. I would slap that person so hard to make them come to senses and then move on with my life.
The production and camerawork of series is beautiful, just like Something In The Rain, cinematography, the raining scenes, and coldness of scenes, is kinda my favourite. There are moments coming to story, that will make female lead suffer more and it is yet to seen whom she would side with. I just hope there is no 2nd female lead. I want this between, ML-FL-2LD.
MTF is more than ok, but less than something interesting. It is a typical tale told thousand times made for demographic falls between 18-24.
