Anyone who understands Life's struggles should watch this
My mom raved about this drama and normally we don't have the same tastes, but I think what makes this show so great is that every generation will be able to appreciate the messages. This show doesn't shy away from exposing the ugly truths of human nature, but it also shows the touching side as well. We follow the lives of a close knit community in Jeju as they navigate through the struggles of life and their own emotional baggage.Likes: With a star studded cast, the acting from everyone felt very natural and heartfelt, but it was the less famous character actors such as Lee Jung Eun, Park Ji Hwan, and Choi Young Joon who really stood out in my eyes. They felt like the glue that made the community feel alive and real. What made this show stand out is that it was unapologetic about exposing the flaws of each character. It didn't try to glamorize or label a person as evil or nice. It just showed that no one is perfect and we do what we need to do in order to survive according to our experiences. This show knows how to poke those hidden truths, stir up emotions, and make us feel as if the character's emotions are our own. It was funny, sad, touching, and healing.
I have to mention one scene that made an impact on me. That emotional fight scene between Ji Hwan and his son.....I think anyone who has immigrant parents or parents who struggled to get by financially will be able to relate to the emotions in that scene. Ji Hwan's acting was amazing. He truly made it unforgettable in my mind due to his raw emotion.
Dislikes: Ok so I may have a little bias in this one since I'm not a huge fan of Lee Byung Hun so take it with a grain of salt, but I found his story line with Shin Mina really boring. This was the only storyline where I wanted to skip. I just couldn't connect and wasn't feelin the loveline. Also, I found having Woobin and Shin Mina in the same drama, but with different lovers distracting. It felt weird seeing LBH kiss SM, but then WB being all chummy with LBH in another scene. I know it's acting, but my mind would wander into that whole, dude that man just kissed your pregnant wife, etc...and I couldn't help notice the lack of a kiss in the WB loveline when I felt like there should have been. It's easier to forget someone has a real like significant other when they are not in the same drama, but having them in the same show was like a little reminder that kept distracting me from the story. But all in all, these are very small dislikes compared to the enjoyment overall.
Highly recommend checking this out if you like family dramas and are ready for some emotional ups and downs.

A beautifully anthology
Hometown Cha Cha Cha was one of last year’s best K-Dramas depicting the trials and tribulations of a small village and its inhabitants, and Our Blues does the similar kind of thing this year.Our Blues is a 20 episode K-drama that essentially works as an anthological slice of life series. The different episodes are broken up into different two or three parters, following residents on Jeju Island as they go about their day. There are a fair amount of people living on this island, and the 20 episodes certainly help to give this show enough time to introduce everyone and tell their stories.
Aesthetically, Our Blues is just as impressive and part of that comes down to the beauty of Jeju Island. From breathtaking sunsets to sweeping establishing shots, this K-Drama makes the most of its lavish, paradisiac setting, and the series is all the stronger for it.
Although some of the narratives didn't quite hit the emotional highs as others, the bright spots outshone the shades of grey. This is a beautifully written Slice of Life drama, with good storytelling and show-stopping visuals.
My Rating : 8/10

MANY BEAUTIFUL STORIES WITH GREAT MESSAGES
A beautiful Kdrama. Every story, every character, every little thing about this drama is so special. Their stories broke my heart and filled me with happiness at the same time, they made me feel so many different emotions. I liked the fact they didnt just stick to one story and have the rest as a filler, every character had the amount of screen time they needed, i think is very hard to make a drama like this, to create so many characters and give them different storylines and at the end manage to involve everyone without messing the timeline. I do believe that some characters could have less screen time so others could have more but that doesnt change the fact they did a great job invloving everyone. I cant say that i have a favorite storyline, all of them were very interesting, but i will have to say that the last two episodes were just something else, maybe because they had so many emotions to them, they made you happy and sad at the same time, two people finding each other after many years and then been torn apart again, so painful. This is a drama that could have 100 episodes and i would continue watch it with the same interest. I find so important when a drama give valuble lessons and this one did a great job on that, i got so many lessons for this that i will keep in mind as i live the rest of my life. They talked about depression, down sydrome, deafness, grief, teen pregnency etc. things that kdramas hide (i think this year we got so many kdramas with great representations aka Tomorrow, My Liberation Notes etc).The characters had so much depth, they were so well written and with many layers. I can talk for hours for all of them, i dont really have one favorite, i like almost everyone the same, i really feel bad for Dong Seok, at first i thought he was going to be a rude man with zero respect but i was so wrong, he went through so much and he manage to forgive and move on, i am really happy he got the happiness he deserved, same for my girl Seon Ah she made it, she did everything for her son and she deserved happiness too. All characters deserved happiness. Eun Hee broke every stereotype, her character is one of the best in this drama, she isnt the typical middle age women, i loved her and i really hope she ended up with Ho Shik, i think he was in love with her i wanted to see more of them together, her storyline with Han Soo had like zero impact, actually Han Soo character had zero impact, i think it would have been better if they hadnt include him at all, they could have made a story about Eun Hee and Ho Shik instead. Mi Ran is one of my least favorite characters, i really disliked her at some point, but i am glad her friendship with Eun Hee stayed strong (i do believe Eun Hee deserved better). In the first couple of episodes i thought Young Ok was going to be my favorite but at some point i just couldnt like her enough, but i adored her story with her sister. And exactly because i couldnt really like Young Ok, i didnt care about Jung Joon either, i liked him and i loved his relationship with Dong Seok but other then nothing. Ok Dong pissed me of so much at times, but at the end i understand why she did what she did, i just hope she had tried to reconcile with Dong Seok sooner, they deserved more. Choon Hee had an interesting story with her grand daughter but it wasnt something special, the moon scene though was so beautiful. Ho Shik i think is one of my favorite characters, they way he cared about everyone, i wished he had more screen time. In Kwon made me wanna break his head at first but his character development was so good. Jung Hyun and Young Joo had a very important and interesting storyline, i am so happy a kdrama talked about something like that. All of them were great, their chemistry was so good too. (not only between the couples, between everyone)
Overall, this drama is a must watch. So many great stories and so many feelings.
I am going to end this review with a quote from this drama that i will always keep in my mind and heart
"THERE IS ONE THING WE MUST REMEMBER IN OUT LIFETIME WE WERENT BORN INTO THIS WORLD TO SUFFER OR FEEL MISERABLE, WE WERE BORN TO BE HAPPY!"

Una historia tranquila, realista y muy disfrutable.
¡Holis! ¿Cómo están? Yo súper contenta por haber terminado este dorama que disfruté un montón desde el principio ?Esta serie de tipo ómnibus sigue la vida de distintas personas que viven en la isla Jeju. Conocemos sus problemas, vemos cómo se relacionan con los demás, etc.
Voy a empezar diciendo que este dorama me sorprendió muchísimo más de lo que esperaba. Parte de mi motivación para verlo, obviamente, era que Kim Woo Bin y Shin Min Ah eran parte del cast, pero la realidad es que este tipo de tramas siempre se me hacen muy atractivas, por lo que me emocioné mucho cuando me enganché desde la primera historia que, viéndolo en perspectiva, es de las que más abajo pondría en un top (así de buena es la serie).
No tengo nada malo para decir en lo que es guion y actuaciones, esos dos apartados me parecieron impecables. ¿Hay algún que otro tema que me hubiera gustado que tocaran de forma diferente? Por supuesto, pero no porque sintiera que faltara algo o que pudiera ser mejor, sino porque a veces los personajes hacen cosas que no comparto del todo, y eso no es algo malo, porque tampoco me dio la impresión de que se dieran mensajes negativos en ningún momento... De hecho, no siento que esta sea una historia "aleccionadora", todos los personajes chocan mucho entre sí por pensar diferente y me gustó que mostraran perspectivas diversas.
Gracias a que hay muchos personajes, la cantidad de temas que se tocan son un montón, sobre todo en lo que respecta a los distintos tipos de relaciones que existen, las responsabilidades de cada uno, lo diferentes que son las vidas de todos, la falta de comunicación, etc. Y en general aplaudo cómo se abordó todo.
Mi única critica real viene por el lado del "ensamblaje" de todas las historias, ya que no sentí que hubiera un patrón lógico. A veces los personajes aparecen 5 min y desaparecen por 6 capítulos o te dejan una historia colgada para contarte una entera de corrido... No sé, raro. Por suerte, los protagonistas tienen tanta personalidad y son tan diferenciables que es difícil perderse.
En fin, una serie hermosa y muy entretenida que realmente vale la pena ver.

A Very slow start
I don't write many reviews, let alone positive ones.I mostly write this because at first the show might seem confusing or frustrating.
The characters choices are poor. The stubbornness of others almost get annoying.
But don't give up on this early,
It gets so deep and really is , deep down, a really healing show.
You get attached and get to understand most characters and you end up only wanting to know more about more characters.
Also, you'll probably wanna go and visit Jeju.

There is no shame between Friends- Jang Ingwon
Blue is indeed the warmest color that hugs you perfectly inside out. Just like the blue color of the sea, Our Blues is a multi characterized 20 ep melodrama full of comedy romance and as the title suggests, Blues. Everyone's blues approaches them in their life, which brings the characters to the raw beautiful tranquil settings of Jeju, where they settle their problems with the kind, nosy yet welcoming people.If you're in a mood to watch a drama that's easygoing, simple and ready to watch, our blues should get on your list ???

The drama is slow but feels too short.
I personally don't write reviews. But, man, this drama is just so good.This drama will make you feel like you're part of the community they're in. I laughed when they laughed and cried when they did.
It shows how we strive to be better and happier despite our flaws, regardless of how dark a place we are currently in. I like how they address social issues and how hard it is for both sides.
The array of issues addressed:
- poverty
- depression/suicide
- teenage pregnancy/abortion
- forgiveness
- friendship
- special needs child.
- love
etc ...
"We were born to be happy. We wish everyone happiness."

Never been sadder
No literally this is such an incredible refreshing drama. The drama follows multiple sets of characters, who rarely ever interact with one another, their stories interconnect so perfectly. Genuinley I've never felt more for characters before, it is simply the reality of life and I'm crying after each episode. I particularly love the storyline with the teeange couple. these topics are rarely discussed in general, let alone the kdrama scene. It is simply one of my favorite drama's of all time.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Nossos dramas, nossas vidas, nossa felicidade
"NASCEMOS PARA SER FELIZES."Our blues. Um drama que por si só chama atenção pelo simples fato de cada episódio focar em diferentes pessoas e nos mostrar suas respectivas histórias. Um drama que quando eu comecei a assistir eu disse "é simplesmente sobre lavar roupa suja" provavelmente algo do tipo. Mas ele é sobre amor, perdão, mágoa, dor, tristeza, família. Ele é sobre a vida. Ele nos mostra e nos faz sentir raiva e alegria. Nos faz rir e chorar. Nos mostrou que podemos ter ressentimentos mas estar abertos a abrir o coração e perdoar. Que a mágoa pode se desfazer. Que o perdão é importante. Que a vida é lutar e persistir. É continuar. A felicidade está a um passo de distância. Os personagens tão profundos, história tão tocantes. Our blues me conquistou tanto que eu fui fim de semana passado pra uma ilha perto de onde moro e me senti indo a ilha de jeju (pena que não tava sol) mas eu fiquei pensando só nisso, engraçado demais. Só senti falta de mais umas cenas da byeol i e do irmão do jeong Jun eles são fofos.
Eu não pensei que ia gostar tanto, que eu ia me emocionar e me acabar de chorar. Our blues é só pra quem sente e pra quem vê. Um drama com muita sensibilidade.
Muito parabéns a todo o elenco por transmitir tão bem, a todo o pessoal envolvido com a produção desse incrível drama. Ao belo roteiro e suas músicas que nos marcam. "Cuando cuando cuando". Vamos ser felizes. ✨

A beautiful story about unique characters and all their ups and downs in life
Our Blues reminded me how precious the "Slice of Life" genre is. It showed the viewer how different and unique everyones life is and it drew attention to so many important topics in a beautiful and heartwarming way.I have to admit that the beginning was a bit jolty for me, so I even dropped the drama by ep 8. BUT that didn't prevent me from rating this drama with 9 stars. The only reason why it was difficult to drive into this drama was the big amount of characters that were presented, so I was a bit overwhelmed by which person was related to the other one. And of course some storylines were more relatable then others, yet they were all beautiful written.
What I loved the most about this drama was how well the characters were designed. For every emotion they felt and every action they took or every word they spoke, there were reasons and past events which explained their choices so well. So especially in the beginning of a story I sometimes was a bit angry at some characters because of the way they treated others but while watching their story developing, their actions began to be understandable. I also loved that in every conflict nobody was totally right or wrong, this made their stories so realistic. It showed how important it is to be forgiven and honest to each other.
I also was stunned how well they brought sensible topics like mental illness and disability to the surface which are often presented in a stereotypical way. As a person who doesn't have to handle depression or facing ableism, it gave me an insight which made it a bit more tangible for me.
In general the drama covered so many stories about love, friendship and parenting beautifully and it is for granted that you will feel every emotion. From heartbreaking scenes to heartwarming ones everything is there!
Definitly worth to watch :)
