Reconciliación

La empecé a ver hará 2 días, me quedé en pausa durante uno o dos días después de llegar al episodio 4, pero mas que nada por falta de tiempo pero ha llegado a conseguir que me reconcilie con las series coreanas después de meses, veía cosas que no me llamaban nada la atención de lo que a día de hoy está siendo emitido allí pero esta serie ha conseguido que durante esos días que no pude verla momentáneamente mi mente se fuese a la historia de esta serie.

La música que aparece en la serie la verdad es que hasta me dio nostalgia, quizás es por eso que me ha parecido también tan buena y que los actores al menos creo que mas o menos se acercan a la edad de sus personajes lo cual es de agradecer.

Para mi demasiado corta pero también se agradece que ciertos conflictos no se alarguen tanto ni sea todo tan enrevesado para alargar eso.

Sin duda la volvería a ver.

Best Kdrama in 2023. Why this is so underrated?

I never took time to review a Kdrama. So this is my first time writing one. This means, this drama is one of the best kdrama I watched this 2023. So if you ever read this, you better start search this drama and binge watch it! Chaebal!!!

This drama deserve a hype. From casting to plot to OST. Its all thumbs up! This is the first time I ever wish to have more episode, I dont want this drama to end and most of all, I wish there more incoming dramas like this.
The one thing I was hooked, makes my heart flutter and more fell in love was the chemistry of the main leads, the abs was a bonus haha. They really have a good chemistry, like they are made with each other.

No boring episodes. There is no episode thay you cant laugh out loud. If you want to forget your problems and want to have a good laugh. This drama is for you. Ive been depressed this sem break becuase my acads and this drama makes me forget my depression. This drama is a best escape from stessors.

Not A Pretend Relationship

Planning to watch this as past time but I enjoyed it a lot.

I thought it was a typical pretend relationship full of cliches where they eventually fall in love. I mean I like how they portrayed her as a woman of her beliefs, I relate to her a lot, and I also like how them being together changed some of her perspective, I mean this is one of the best drama that opens up how women is looked on our society today. Tho Kang Ho is a typical ML, I love his character too, actually he’s one step ahead of them XD he’s charming and so gentle… I guess trauma made his a little bit less likable but he’s a green flag for me.

I have no say in acting, everyone portrayed their role mannerly. I really hope they saved her from her funny scenes lol but probably for the sake of comedy lol

All in all highly recommended, its a balanced of romance and comedy without losing the sentiments of the story. I watched it in just a day, and I would say who needs more episodes when 10 is enough to enjoy everything.

xx

Do Bong Soon meets Let me Be Your Knight Light...

Love to hate you or more of a: The other sex (within the gender binary) is bad prove me wrong. Kind of deal as we meet the lawyer who hates the patriarchy more than anything else in the world and the actor who lost faith in women. In a series of slight misunderstandings. Who go from you are pure evil to a whole lot of "you are not like other women"...

Our lawyer is as bad ass as it gets, she is smart, she is strong, she fights for justice by playing the game and pleasuring her body. unapologetically but also pretty much taking the route of toxic masculinity.. if they can do it why shouldn't I instead of just going her own way... I still love her but I do think this could have been done better if they broke the conventions instead of just reversing them. That said there are a whole lot of good lines in here.

Our actors character is a bit more nuanced and is not a gender reversal. He is more of the good guy type (once they clear up stuff), not to strong, not to week, a guy who can not only handle a strong woman but love her for ell her qwerks without needing to save her or want to change her.

The Actors best friend is HOT (it is part of the plot), comfortable with his sexuality. All round human... Easy for all to fall in love with... Making me want to see him in a hate to love romance... maybe with a bit of mystery...

There is also a really cool slightly older actress who pretty much stole the show as well.. And the rest of the characters are ok, not great, not bad, just ok. They do their job well and fill their functions as they should.

The drama is highly bingeable (an afternoon and a morning was all it took), there are also a bunch of fun cliches and you may want to pay attention to the details as nothing is there by accident, as even the show watched on tv may give you a heads up about what is about to happen. Or at least ads some spice.


While the start is a bit meeh, and I fell for the leads best friends before I fell for the leads, the plot does get better and better as the very much cliche plot unfolds. So if you like watching clices and Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (without the super powers, low humour and crime) meets Let Me Be Your Knight but with less chemistry (there of the score 8,5 and not 10) this is a good place to find it.

Rom-coms revived finally ??

A new classic standard for rom com in 2023 for me!
To be honest, I was never gonna watch it…hasn’t not been recommended by a friend! I was giving up on kdrama romcom …So glad I watched it!

The FL mi ran is authentic, lovable, funny and not just a weak damsel (a bit of a stretch on some things, but it’s a rom com guys… )

The ML was also a surprise!

I loved the script and storyline, the vibe of the show is fresh, light and funny! It was so enjoyable, the title ‘love to hate you’ is spot on, without being too cringe

For sure you’ll find some cringy moments but they are often accompanied by awesome funny awkwardness/ reactions of the characters! I’d love to see a sequel but the ending was also satisfying!

The short number of episode doesn’t take away the enjoyment and I kinda liked the lack of unnecessary plot fillers :) … although there are a few.

I mainly loved the unapologetic attitude of the main characters and their self confidence ! mi ran is one of my favourite FL characters I ever seen ( and I’ve seen a lot, where most of them, full of potential… ‘reduced’ to damsel in distress in the end)

Questo è quello che mi aspetto di vedere quando decido di guardare una romcom! Per la sceneggiatura di Choi Soo Young e la regia di Kim Jung Kwon, si tratta di una serie coreana di 10 episodi da poco meno di un’ora ciascuno. La relativa brevità dell’opera fa sì che non ci si perda in inutili sotto trame che non interessano a nessuno: c’è la coppia principale coi suoi elementi di disturbo, chiamiamoli così, e c’è una coppia secondaria. I personaggi di contorno arricchiscono la storia senza soffocarla. Il ritmo è veloce, senza accelerazioni o troppi rallentamenti, le situazioni sono spesso paradossali, ma simpatiche. Si ride molto e a tratti ci si commuove.

Yeo Mi Ran (Kim Ok Bin ) è un’avvocata alla disperata ricerca di un lavoro, che trova in uno studio legale tutto al maschile, dove, a sua insaputa, viene assunta solo perché una loro cliente VIP ha preteso una donna. Mi Ran è una donna forte, con un profondo senso di giustizia, e conduce una personalissima guerra contro gli uomini, che ritiene tutti fedifraghi e indegni di fiducia. Perciò li seduce e abbandona e, se incontra dei prepotenti, li prende anche a botte. Già, perché la nostra avvocata è un’atleta e lottatrice fenomenale.

Nam Kang Ho (Yoo Teo) è un famosissimo e amatissimo attore, noto per la sua bellezza e gentilezza, che recita in parti romantiche e si serve dello studio legale dove lavora Mi Ran. Ma Kang Ho, dopo una brutta esperienza seguita da altre non migliori, non ha alcuna fiducia nelle donne e anzi, si potrebbe dire che gli diano l’allergia.

L’incontro di questi opposti non può che fare scintille e, inizialmente, i due si scornano a più non posso, anche a causa di reciproci fraintendimenti. Ovviamente, la progressiva vicendevole frequentazione farà sì che questi mondi così diversi si conoscano, piacciano, e amino, superando anche sospetti e timori da parte del di lui amico e manager Do Won Joon (Kim Ji Hoon) e dell’amica di lei Shin Na Eun (Go Won Hee). Ma, soprattutto, le barriere più difficili da superare saranno proprio quelle dei loro traumi e preconcetti.

Che cosa rende questa commedia così speciale? Il fatto che affronti, sia pur esagerando e generalizzando, il tema dolorosamente attuale della società patriarcale e del doppio standard applicato a uomini e donne. Là dove un uomo che “esplora” viene esaltato e onorato, una donna sessualmente libera si attira pesante riprovazione, che rischia di contaminare anche il partner. Se un uomo vuole rimanere celibe, o non avere figli, o averne in età più avanzata è nel suo pieno diritto, ma se questo diritto vuole reclamarlo una donna, apriti cielo! E una donna che lavora si presume non lo faccia con lo stesso impegno e/o con lo stesso risultato di un uomo, solo perché è donna. Naturalmente, un marito vecchio stampo (o non così vecchio, siamo comunque in Corea) può permettersi di insultare, minacciare e sminuire la propria moglie a ogni piè sospinto. Una donna dovrebbe guardarsi bene dal chiedere il divorzio, specialmente se spera di non essere spennata di tutti i suoi averi. E così via.

Certo, come si diceva, il pericolo è di esagerare e generalizzare. E’ ovvio che non “tutti” gli uomini sono dei figli di buona gatta traditori e incapaci. E’ ovvio che non tutti i mariti sono irrispettosi o violenti. E’ ovvio che in uno studio legale di una dozzina di avvocati l’unica con un po’ di furbizia e professionalità non può essere la sola donna del mazzo. E anche le motivazioni che spingono la protagonista ad avere “100 ragazzi” o a partire in quarta per raddrizzare i torti a suon di pugni anziché a parole, come la sua professione suggerirebbe, sono un po’ speciose e a tratti traballanti. Se non fosse così, non sarebbe una commedia, ma un documentario o un biopic.

Invece, mostrandoci le aberrazioni di una certa mentalità in un contesto umoristico, si riesce a far passare il messaggio insinuando il seme del dubbio, facendo riflettere con un sorriso. Come ebbi a dire nella recensione di “The Romance of Tiger and Rose”, se è così fuori dalle righe applicato a un uomo, perché dovrebbe essere giusto se a subirlo è una donna? Rovesciando la situazione, la domanda non cambia.

Non manca la rappresentazione/denuncia di un certo tipo di organizzazioni di fan, terribilmente aggressive e tossiche. Ragazzine o giovani donne seguono ovunque il loro idolo, minacciando e aggredendo quelle che ritengono essere persone deleterie per lui e per la sua carriera, morbosamente aggrappate all’illusione di non si sa cosa, di fatto, stalkerando proprio il personaggio di cui si professano innamorate. E tizi senza scrupoli ne approfittano per acquisire notorietà e facili guadagni dando in pasto al largo pubblico ogni più piccola briciola di scandalo.

E di motivi di scandalo non ne mancano. Il povero protagonista Kang Ho viene prima sospettato da Mi Ran di farsela con una minorenne, poi viene pubblicamente accusato di essere gay (come se fosse una colpa…) rischiando la carriera e quando finalmente riesce ad avere una storia con Mi Ran rischia di nuovo tutto al riaffiorare del passato promiscuo di lei. Insomma, la società pruriginosa e maschilista va in scena in gran spolvero. In un certo senso viene preso in giro anche lo spettatore, con l’inserimento di alcune scene volutamente ambigue tra Kang Ho e Won Joon, il suo manager, ma la bromance non ha alcuna connotazione romantica.

Dicevamo che è una commedia, per cui già sappiamo che tutti i santi finiscono in gloria. Forse la risoluzione dei conflitti appare per certi versi un po’ utopistica e per altri un po’ insoddisfacente, ma si tratta pur sempre di un prodotto dichiaratamente di intrattenimento, che non deve aspirare più di tanto a verosimiglianza e logicità.

Una storia scoppiettante, interessante e per certi versi profonda non produrrebbe il risultato sperato se non fosse recitata dagli attori giusti. Fortunatamente per noi, Kim Ok Bin è un’ottima attrice, e non solo. Ha tre dan in Hapkido e due in Taekwondo, pratica boxe e altri sport, corre in moto e auto e ha un QI che molti di noi invidierebbero. Insomma, la parte era perfetta per lei, che ha saputo interpretare la disincantata Mi Ran con energia e giusta espressività.

Yoo Teo è un attore maturo, molto avvenente e molto competente. Nato in Germania da genitori coreani, ha studiato recitazione negli USA e in Gran Bretagna, e recitato in mezzo sud est asiatico, e non solo. La sua interpretazione della superstar allegra e galante all’apparenza, ma dolente e complessata nel privato, è efficace e coinvolgente. I vari stadi del progredire del suo interesse per Mi Ran sono visibili sul suo viso come se scritti a titoli di scatola. Perfetto. E non guasta che faccia una gran figura sia in abiti eleganti che in giubbotto da teppista.

Questi due, insieme, hanno fatto scintille. Dimenticatevi i bacetti a stampo stile asilo visti in fin troppe produzioni, e procuratevi un ventaglio: ne avrete bisogno.

Giustizia vuole che spenda due parole anche per Kim Ji Hoon, che ha interpretato l’amico di Kang Ho. Questo bravissimo attore, già splendido nella parte del cattivo in Flower of evil, ha già alle spalle una cospicua carriera. Magnifico e carismatico, la sua presenza è tale da rubare spesso la scena anche al pur altrettanto bello e bravo Yoo Teo.

Un commento musicale spesso allegro e scanzonato, inframezzato da suoni e versi di animali divertenti inseriti al momento giusto, unito all’ottimo comparto costumi, trucco e parrucco, completa le note positive di questa serie.

Può darsi che la cosiddetta crescita dei personaggi non sia stata molto curata, non lo nego. Abbiamo visto che certe situazioni sono state esagerate, direi volutamente. Qualcuno potrebbe anche trovarlo fastidioso, non lo metto in dubbio. Io però mi sono divertita molto e ho apprezzato il messaggio, per cui consiglio la visione.

Love To Hate You (2023) – I like the drama even though there are a lot of opposing opinions surrounding this korean drama. My first 2023 korean drama that I finished this year. This korean drama is worth the watch, it was fun. The female lead is my favorite character and seeing this type of woman as the female lead is quite unusual but for me it gives additional spark on the drama. The male lead is an okay male lead, I think he did well. The flow is good as well, I like the transitions and the ending is fine with me. I would recommend this drama as a start-up this 2023.

If you want a fun

I didn't think that I was going to download it. I saw a comment in insta that one was said. It's very beautiful and it's a pity that the part was missing. I downloaded it because of that comment. It really stuck with me considering that I haven't seen a comic series in a long time. It had stereotypes to a reasonable extent and broke stereotypes in many places.

The fact that the main role of the woman in the story was so self made and did not want to be dominated by a man made the story much more interesting.
Honestly, I didn't like the second couple... I think they are very clingy. It was the first series that I saw from U Teo, He played really well. That means, according to me, you carry the romantic beauty of the series. He used to say everything with so much feeling that he made you unconscious.

All in all, the series is beautiful and the episodes are few. So, if you want a fun call, watch it

Romcom of the Year

Love To Hate You (2023)

Like
1. Finally a straight up romcom without murders or fantasy elements!! I wasnt planning on watching this until i saw the preview. Enemies to lovers? Top star and lawyer? Sassy lady vs Cool guy? Count me in!
2. I love Miran. She's feisty, assertive and can beat the guys in any game or fights. No wonder Kangho was so impressed at this "unusual" woman. He doesnt get to meet a lot of them in his work. I love the maturity of their relationship even the dates and bed scenes looked more age appropriate and natural.
3. I also like Kangho he looks cold but is actually playful and romantic when he finally got past his trauma. His bromance with his bestie was so funny and cute. I wouldnt have minded if they ended up together!
4. Probably this drama takes a jab at actors and actresses who look like they are friends in public but actually hates their guts in private. And all the insider rumors that go around the industry. Again, fans and netizens should also stop obsessing on their faves and let them live their own lives. Im imagining Lee Seunggi as I watched this show and how awful fans have been to him because of his upcoming wedding.
5. The ending although is not bad is also not especially fantastic. But it also feels like it's more realistic.

Dislikes
1. The second leads are cute but I wasnt as charmed by their story like the leads.
2. Sometimes the vocalizing background music didnt fit the scene.

Rating: 8.5/10

Entertaining and easy-watch

I came to this drama with zero expectations and I was pleasantly surprised. It's entertaining, it's an easy watch and it's more mature than other shows I've seen recently and I very much welcome it.
It's not one of those overly cheesy, love-explosion dramas, so if you're looking for something like that this is not it. The relationship here grows step by step, flowing from dislike to tolerating one another to friends to love.
FL is a strong character, so if you prefer delicate/weak female characters then this drama will not be for you.

There are a few things I found to be a bit lacking but I understand because of its run time. I think overall the length was good and if it had been longer it would have dragged way too much story wise. The start felt a bit not so interesting to me but then it picked up. Last two episodes are a bit dragged and unnecessary in a way, and it's clear they're there to create the final drama.
Characters are good and more typical of romcom, so not a lot of nuances are presented in them, it's kept light.

I don't think this drama was presented as a "all men are bad, all women are good" at all, there were plenty of good men in the show apart from the main two leads, even the FL's ex was not presented as a complete jerk despite of cheating and they remain friends throughout the drama. Except for maybe a couple of comments all coworkers at the firm were also nice and welcoming.
FL has flaws and they're presented in the drama, FL's friend had also flaws and in fact she was a bit tiring with her back and forth when it came to the second ML. The first girlfriend of ML also had many flaws as did the actress FL represented legally. People be seeing a strong FL and already give a tag and run with it...

I liked the relationship of the two ML in the beginning, very healthy bromance, and I kind of wanted more of that, it was cute, but it was soon put to the side.
I did think second ML had more charisma and more depth in his character than the ML, I find this tends to happen in this type of romcoms, they want ML to be perfect so they give more realism and nuance to the friend, what is a shame.
A couple of things that irked me a bit were that the turning point of the show is a gay scandal (I get it, it's Korea afterall, but...) and the trope of "you're not like other men/women".
That being said, I have to applaud this drama for tackling a bit certain aspects of patriarchy and abuse in a country where sexism, gender inequality and domestic violence are high. Sure, it could be better, and it could be sooooo much more in-depth, but considering they're walking a fine line and that it's not the main plot of the drama, it's still commendable.

I think the ML and FL were a good fit together. Not so much the second couple, but mostly because of the way they decided to portray that relationship than the characters themselves. Do Won Joon didn't seem that much into Shin Na Eun, and she was into him but the way of showing it was anticlimactic and a bit of a mess.

Overall I would recommend, it's easy watchable, not long and it's entertaining.

Kim Ok Vin and Teo Yoo are the real bad-ass!!

Love to Hate You is a new romantic comedy that I strongly recommend you all to watch it as soon as possible. It has 10 episodes only and for your all information, I finished watching it in just one day.

For the record, I have been watching so many romantic comedy series and I absolutely enjoyed this one from the first episode. What I love the most about the series is the bad-ass female lead and the fast-paced dialogue and scenes.

I guess I don't need to talk about the chemistry between the main leads, why? It is simply because I haven't seen anything that as natural as their romantic scenes in any other Korean dramas. Mostly when the main leads in other dramas have a romantic scene, they tend to have it forced. But Love to Hate You is a different case. The main leads (Kim Ok Vin and Teo Yoo) had successfully made me ask for more. Their visuals and body language in the series are undeniably gorgeous.

In addition, this series is Teo Yoo's first romantic comedy and he portrayed his character satisfactorily. Pairing him with Kim Ok Vin is a very perfect choice. They definitely complete each other. Too bad this series has very short episodes, if only it had 16 episodes like normal episodes of Korean series, I believe it would have been a big hit. But, I'm still glad I found these two gems.

É definitivamente um RomCom!

Sabe, esse é definitivamente um bom drama pra quem procura algo bobo e com um romance divertido, mas não é nada muito relevante quando comparado a bons dramas de romance feitos no passado.
É bom para passar o tempo, é divertido e tem sim bons personagens (que podem irritar um pouco em alguns momentos.), mas ao todo, é só mais um drama!
Vale mais a pena assistir do que muitos outros, mas eu diria que existem vários que se deva colocar a frente na fila.

Mas é bom sim, eu gostei. Talvez meu humor que não esteja tão bom hoje. Acontece!
