Lançando um feitiço em você (2021)

Really generic but gets the job done.

FIRST LET ME NOTE: You can watch this on koreaondemand if you live in the US but there are ads unless you signup but a good thing to know is that you can watch the first three episodes with no ads on kissasian.

STORY:7.5
With that all being said let me follow up to my title, i feel as if i've seen this Kdrama a million times because it's really a basic plot line type romance which is okay but you have to understand actors really carry these types of shows. Whenever theres a good relationship another girl/boy has to butt in and this is for 95% of all the romance kdramas out there. In my opinion it is a bit overused. That's why I can't give this drama a amazing rating but nor can i give it a bad one because it was pretty well executed.
ACTING: 9
I think the chemistry between Sung Joon and Im Ji Yeon is great and makes me want there relationship throughout the episodes and the feeling of "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?!" when one breaks another's heart. Acting is really good and gets the job done.
MUSIC: 8.5
I love the music choices in this i wish it would be released to YouTube at some point.
REWATCH VALUE:
I've seen up to the 14th episode at the moment but can assure you it's not too rewatch worthy but definitely a fun first time watch.
OVERALL: 8
If you're simplistic and like most romance dramas you will probably find this very enjoyable.

Differing opinion

So, let me start by saying that I watched this because of Sung Joon.

I loved him in I Need Romance 3, which led to me watching a bunch of dramas that were hit or miss. He seems to be inconsistent in the scripts he chooses.

That said, I don't think this drama is a bad choice. The story is messy. The characters are sometimes unlikable and they make bad decisions. But I mostly understood why they did those foolish things. This is a drama about damaged people. About one tragic event that changes everything forever. And those ripples caused by that event are still felt years later.

They make some really interesting choices in this story. So Ju isn't a sweet and innocent flower. She's a bit shrill. She's abrasive. She does things that might shock you. She lies. But I actually loved that. Because too often female characters are asked to be flawless while the male lead runs amok being awful. Until he realizes he loves the FL, and then, it's all fine, right? ILU solves everything. Except it doesn't. This drama kind of realizes that life isn't tidy, and things spill over. Problems persist. And sometimes we do ridiculous things because our options are crappy and crummy.

I don't have to fall in love with drama characters. I just have to believe they've fallen for each other. I wasn't bored watching this. Sometimes I was annoyed, but I grew fond of everyone involved. With all their messy imperfections.
