Ela Era Bonita (2015)

To me this drama was like a breath of fresh air!
It was really easy to watch, funny, simple and without any drama!
At the beginning I have to say that I don't like Kim Hye Jin so much because she reminds me a lot Oh Ah Ni, the main character of Playful Kiss that I really didn't like. I also didn't like very much Ji Seong Joon...
But after few episodes I really changed my mind, she started to be less stupid and he started to be less asshole!
I also really loved the relationship between Kim Hye Jin and Min Ha Ri (even though I hate Ha Ri a little bit sometimes!).
But most of all I ABSOLUTELY LOVED Siwon's character!!! Shin Hyeok was the right person at the right moment and with his goofy, lovely and caring manners was the best! He makes me laugh everytime he was on the screen! So thank you Choi Siwon for accepting this role! You were absolutely perfect for that!

Another character that was absolutely adorable was the Anna Dello Russo's inspired Editor in Chief! she was THE MOST!

Just finished watching She Was Pretty and I read some of the reviews and some were brutal. I on the other hand loved She Was Pretty. It was fun, light, had hysterical moments, super cute kissing scenes, friendship (both sweet and mix in a little betrayal but nothing killer). The characters have great chemistry and I was entertained, I loved the ending and didn't counter any major problems. I loved how once the truth was revealed the characters dealt with it maturely and none of the extra "surprise evil ex girlfriend" or surprise major amnesia episode. I laughed and enjoyed watching everyone in their element. Now I will say that both Kim Shin Hyeok & Kim Hye Jin characters were a little off the charts. They were outrageously quirky and excessive in their character and embellishments but I think it was just who the characters were. Crazyyyyyyyyy and funny in their own way and they marched to the beat of their own drum. They still were enjoyable to watch and their friendship was fun as well. Ji Seong Jun character jerk and jerk and jerk but we all need a bit of a jerk in these films and then we get to peel back the layers to see how truly gorgeous, sexy, amazing and caring he really is. ? I saw Park Seo Joon in "witch's romance" & and I love him even more after watching this drama. I can only hope he is really pleasant and loving in real life as he is in the characters he plays on screen. Min Ha Ri character I wasn't sure if I should love her or dislike her but I think anyone could understand the situation and her feelings . Still their friendship of BFF's was nice to see (girls just wanna have fun). The ending was complete in a sense on the supporting charters but understandable. Loved the ending for the main characters, I thought it was thorough and complete (I cracked up @ the very end). I loved their relationship and connection in the drama. Also liked the co-worker characters, they were a great mix as well. THUMBS UP FOR ME. Enjoyed it all.
Now that I think about it minutes later after posting. It's crazy how the main female is considered ugly. Her only issue was pink cheeks. How is that ugly, kinda sad about what the definition of beauty and ugliness is considered. Would be hard for any female or male with a flaw slight flaw to live comfortably without ridicule on looks or weight. Low self esteem issues, yaHHHHHh.

Just finished watching the finale ep. Its a RomCom, but not enough romance and comedy. haha. I mean, its not to its fullest extent. There were good parts of course. But seriously lacking. For one, there was no chemistry between the male and female lead. Then the comedy part is not all that funny. But one thing I was thankful for is I don't have the 2nd male lead syndrome, which I somewhat always develop. The male lead, sometimes looks good, other times, not. Same with the female lead. Acting was pretty decent. Plot was pretty light. Do I recommend?...Maybe, maybe not.

For me, this drama is neither good nor bad. I know its good points, it made me cry, made me fall for some of the characters, it was a happy ending. But, I also found a lot of flaws that I did not really like. Maybe I was expecting too much for this drama and somehow, I just got disappointed. Halfway through the series, I just wanted to finish all 16 episodes for the sake of all the hours I've spent watching. It was not totally bad and not totally boring but, I cannot say that I enjoyed watching this drama. Towards the end, it feels really dragging.

I've seen people on the internet that really liked the series but maybe it wasn't for me.
I even thought of another flow for the story. Lol

Women first, men come later.

Actually, I wanted to write a usual review, but soon it became clear that this is a poorly disguised women's film. This Romcom shows again the old wisdom of the Hopi Indians: "A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle!

Although the insidious women's wars because of men everyone knows were fought here too, the author covers everything with women's solidarity. Any problem could probably have been solved immediately if the two girlfriends had married each other instead of competing for men. After all, the FL couldn't quite decide anyway!

Howling separation misery of the two women who will continue to live quite close to each other. A single tear for the beloved fiancé who had to go to America. The viewer would have been spared such misunderstandings, and much more, if women had married.

Also the corny brawn at the end, which was supposed to belatedly bring a romance back to memory.

Would Rewatch Any Day!!

A unique and captivating storyline centered surrounding two childhood friends filled with many comical moments. I found the story to be void of common cliches and filler scenes which I completely enjoyed. I found myself laughing in almost every episode as comical scenes were sure to appear often which created a lighthearted experience.

I loved seeing the character developments of both the female and male leads. Although each character beings with flaws their journey helps them to become better individuals and come to understand themselves. I especially enjoyed watching Choi Si-won's funny character and his friendship with the female lead. The friendship between the female lead and the second female lead was remarkably strong.

In terms of the OST I would say that it is pretty alright but not anything too grand. Definitely not the worst I have seen.

Some things I didn't like was the attitude of the male lead at the beginning but glad it changed as the story progressed. I also disliked the female leads tendency to allow herself to be belittled at the beginning but I later understood why she allowed such things to happen. There were moments where I questioned the second female lead's choices and her commitment to her friendship with the female lead, but I later understood her reasons.

Overall, it is an entertaining Korean drama. I definitely would recommend it if you haven't watched it yet!

Piacevole

Piacevole è la prima parola a cui ho pensato dopo aver visto questo drama. Da dove partire?
La trama secondo me non ha molto di innovativo, è una storia di amicizia che va oltre l'aspetto esteriore, il ritrovarsi dopo essersi persi e quel famoso destino di cui tutti i drama sono pieni.
L'amico cicciottello e la bella bambina i cui ruoli si invertono in età adulta, lui (come si può non amare Park Seo-joon?) è diventato bello e carismatico ma con un carico emotivo di cui non è riuscito a liberarsi, lei invece ha rinunciato al suo sogno per accontentarsi di quello in cui tutti speriamo fino in fondo, la stabilità.
Lei, emozionata del suo ritorno ma che non si fa avanti quando si accorge che lui, diventato un gran figo, non la riconosce; lui follemente innamorato del suo ricordo da non accorgersi di come le persone possano cambiare e non in grado di riconoscerla pur avendola davanti.
Faccio sempre il tifo per il firts lead (tranne che in school 2015) ma qui il second lead mi ha conquistata, la sua simpatia, l'amicizia che oltre l'amore lo lega alla protagonista è quasi commovente e non ho potuto odiarlo (come spesso mi succede).
In ogni caso, mi è piaciuto? Si. Lo consiglierei? Sì, non come prima scelta però. Lo rivedrei? No, di sicuro.
Se cercate qualcosa che sia leggero, che possa farvi ridere e che abbia un happy ending fa al caso vostro.

Character Development—What More Could You Ask for?

The need to see an uplifting show was certainly fulfilled through “She Was Pretty.”

I honestly enjoyed this show so much in such a surprising way that I felt compelled to write about it. Because of the lower rating and some harsher criticism I’ve seen, I wasn’t sure about the quality of the show, but it absolutely was not a disappointment.

While I understand the criticism of characters, acting, and even some story points, this story is about a journey. Contrasting the beginning of the show with the ending, the characters slowly become new people. The ending is truly one of the best I've seen.

If you enjoy character development and uplifting messages, I highly suggest this series. One of my favorite things about it was how there was little focus on the main character’s appearance, despite the synopsis. Even though she isn’t a runway model, no huge plots develop because of her anxieties with her appearance and the way others treat her (aside from, of course, the first episode to get the ball rolling). The show isn’t overly dramatic but fairly realistic in this way which was a highlight for me.

My rewatch value is actually my entertainment value, and my music also includes sound. Lots of work certainly went into the producing of this show, and I am so grateful for it. I hope you take the opportunity to see this one! It's a delight. :D
