If you get past the first episode, it will be just fine. For the rest of the season, she mainly an aspiring musician rather than a girl who sells things to perverts. The story unfolds nicely as we see things from Hiroshi's point of view. The meet cute, the highs, the lows, and the end of a relationship are written and directed in a visually pleasing way. There are no big conflicts, the story mainly depicts how a 6 years relationship comes to an end. Yet, each episode give the viewers a reason to witness Asuka and Hiroshi growth as a couple with some issues.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Short, Light, Makes Your Mouth Water!
It is a perfect mini series to watch when you have lunch alone with approx. 30 mins run time. The slice of life shown in the drama is very heartwarming. All the characters have their own story to tell and the last episode conclude everything in a lovely manner. I just feel 6 episode is just perfect to tell this diner story. It starts and ends really well. The food porn of course really pleasing to the eye! It makes me crave for udon, lol. To sum up, I really love this (very) short series and would recommend this to whoever looking for a light, straightforward, and full of food porn shots drama.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Flow cerita yang nggak rapi
Aku mulai review dari alasanku nonton dulu ya, satu-satunya alasanku nonton HPL adalah om Jaewook. Saat udah nonton, di pertengahan season aku udah mulai bisa naruh perhatian ke karakter-karakter lainnya selain yang diperanin Jaewook. Park Minyoung sebagai female lead charming. Sayangnya, struktur dan pacing cerita nggak bisa ngebuat aku cinta sama series ini.Dulu, waktu aku masih bisa marathon drakor 16-20an episode, aku nontonnya full durasinya, no skip. Masuk di 2020s ini, aku lebih prefer untuk nonton series yang satu seasonnya ada 12 episode. Kenapa? Nggak ada filler dan struktur cerita bisa lebih rapi. Kadang, ibarat makanan, kalau porsinya pas dan ceritanya enak banget, penonton bisa minta lebih seperti season 2 atau spin-off. Win-win solution. HPL ini, karena masih pake sistem satu season 16 episode dan aku udah mulai aware juga sama story/naskah dari series, setelah episode 11an, semuanya berasa filler dan lackluster.
Goals dari setiap trope fake relationship adalah menjawab pertanyaan "apa endingnya mereka bakal jadian?" dan pertanyaan dari plot utama ini udah selesai di episode 10-11an itu. Terus sisa sekitar 5-6 episode lagi buat apa dong? Untuk wrap up subplot. Iya, struktur ceritanya aneh buatku. Kalo dibagi per-empat episode, untuk plot utama, empat episode awal (1-4) set-up untuk main character kita bisa ada agreement untuk ngejalanin fake relationship ini cukup lambat. Mereka baru deal di episode 4. Empat episode selanjutnya (5-8) untuk build-up tension antara main leads lalu empat episode setelahnya (9-12) dua karakter utama ini udah sadar akan perasaan mereka dan mutusin untuk menyudahi fake relationship mereka. Sisa episodenya? Bagusnya sih nggak pernah ada ya.
Alasan kenapa menurutku HPL dengan sistem 16 episode itu adalah strategi yang salah karena di empat episode terakhir, saat cerita utama udah berakhir bahagia masih ada subplot yang belum beres dan twist yang menurutku cheap. All of a sudden, setelah Ryan (Kim Jaewook) dan Deokmi (Park Minyoung) udah push and pull, the writer decided that they were childhood friends. Like...? Ou, that's not it. It's lazy writing. It should've stayed in the draft.
Another cliche that I hate adalah plot twist kalau Ryan dan Cha Shi-an (idolanya Deokmi) adalah saudara tiri. Deokmi life couldn't get more dramatic than this. Her idol and her lover are technically half-brothers. Jadi, yah, keliatannya writer ini kewalahan harus ngisi empat episode terakhir. Jujur, aku belum baca webtoonya tapi menurutku serial ini punya potensi kalau aja si subplot itu bisa di reworked atau malah nggak usah ada sama sekali.

'Do You Like Brahms?' is Kim Minjae best performance, dare I say. The four main cast story entangled really slowly even though the point was already made from the start, but things made it more complicated. In the middle of the season, around episode 8-12, I have to admit it kind of get boring. Similarly to 'The Third Charm', I must say, this is a hard watch for me. The dialogue is too... stiff? No banmal or anything, it's just plainly normal. It is true that this is one of the best drama in 2020 but it just not a perfect fit to my cup of tea.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Love Affairs in the Afternoon

I am So Glad I Found This Gem
Gotta be honest, watching the adultery/infidelity-ish kind of story makes me frustrated. However, the first episode hooked me right away! While watching this series, I can't help but compare the two female leads. Son Jieun character is really depressing to watch. Yoon Jungwoo... I can't really understand him at first. I don't see any problems in his marriage. Their affair somehow feels artificial to me. On the other hand, Choi Sooah and Do Hayoon affair is really good on screen. I liked Park Jimin and Lee Ajin subplot too (not considering their actual age gap). All in all, this is a good adaptation!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Deserve a watch
The drama start off pretty hilarious, kind of overdo the humour part at some point. However, it works. This drama is funny and also heartwarming at the same time. At the time this drama aired, the attention was taken by Sky Castle more. Sigh, Yoobaek deserve a watch too! One thing I did not understand is why it has 11 episodes only? Isn't Yoobaek mini drama that has at least 16 episodes..? Nevertheless, the pacing quite good. Every hour of an episode packed all the plots nicely. Still, I think this drama is forgettable.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
I can't even find the third charm
The drama started off sloppy, but it did go well afterwards. Only, it did not last long after the second charm. I perceived it as 'that's just how life is, there are ups and down.' However, where is the third charm? They did not end up together nor part ways. It is kind of vague and I personally not liking it. Both leads still linger over each other just for nothing. It seems like they held back their feelings. This drama gave mixed feelings and I don't even think I would rewatch it in the future.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Fun at First
It kicked off really good. It was fun, it was interesting. However, around episode 9 the storyline seems so boring and forceful. I watched some parts in triple speed just to get it over quickly. The ending rather giving me the '???' feeling. Pado x Dongchan character arc is good. I personally love it more than any other characters dynamic. Regardless, I love Song Jihyo as a mom. She said this is going to be her last rom-com as she is hitting 40 soon, so I hope I got to see more mom Jihyo, wife Jihyo in the future.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
It's a Good Slice of Life
drama ini ga hitam putih tentang bad cop, good cop tapi lebih nyeritain kehidupan polisi di kota besar. ada yang rookies, senior, korup, ya-gini-gini-aja kind of police officer. naskahnya ditulis sama noh heekyung yg juga nulis it's ok, it's love. walaupun main role ada di jungoh (jung yumi), sangsoo (lee kwangsoo), yangchon (bae sungwoo), dan ahn jangmi (bae jongok) tapi porsi pengenalan setiap tokohnya detailed. as expected, drama yg ditulis noh heekyung tu well-written. pacenya lambat, genrenya aja slice of life. dari jungoh sama sangsoo jobless sampe akhirnya mutusin masuk akpol tuh gabisa satu episode doang. plus pointnya lg romancenya dikiiit. tp yangchon x jangmi nih standout bgt dibanding sangsoo x jungoh. kinda feel sorry baru nemuin drama ini di 2021 padahal bagus bgt tp kok bisa fly under my radar...Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
What is it actually
What is the concept? Too scripted for a variety show, but the talk and characterizations are real? To me, it is rather confusing and uncomfortable to watch some parts. However, as I just started watching this show, this first impression might backfire on me as I watch more episodes later. I am aware that this show makes it to season 3 which means many people must have loved this show so much.I love the games though. With a big budget given by Netflix, the production team makes great games. The escape room one was good. However, again, it feels too scripted. So, I could not enjoy it as much.

A Hard Way to Find One's Happiness
Yihyun and Saebom found love in a hard situation. Their first meeting on rooftop, the lockdown, and when they have to handle the infected. Taeseok, on the other hand, are fighting for his source of happiness. I would say the story is so neatly written and as a watcher, we get to know all the residents deeper in every episode. It felt like we also live in the apartment with them. Sure, several characters were not explained clearly like Saebom's colleague at the beginning, Yihyun's colleague that live with him during lockdown, the grandma of the unemployed YouTuber, and the clerk girl near the end of the story. The pacing seems a little faster in the last episode compared to the earliest ones. Nevertheless, all the main points were highlighted. This story is about Yihyun, Saebom, and Taeseok after all. A really good drama with full of suspense, thrill, and a sprinkle of romance.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
