Romance Written Differently (2018)

This one is really cute, I recommend if you want a filler between 2 dramas.

This is the story of a man, Chansung, and a woman Seokyung. Both are in a relationship in which they are not happy. Coincidentally, they meet and find happiness in each other.

The story is told in 2 versions, one by Seokyung, and the second by Chansung.
The first 4 or 5 episodes is more like slightly different stories, rather than 2 perspectives, then the story seems to reach a middle ground to be completed.

I really liked Chansung's version. Seokyung's was more cringey while Changsung's felt more realistic. I did not like the two-timing part but that did not seem to be the point.

The ending left me confused as it does not include total closure. Well, we can more or less guess what would happen next, but still it can be frustrating not to see it really happen. It felt incomplete somehow. I would have been looking for 9th ep forever if I did not know there are only 8 of them.

As for the music, it did not leave a deep impression, I guess it just fitted well.
Even though it is a short story and I downloaded it, I will not rewatch it.

Anyway I watched it for Hwang Chansung and was not disappointed on that part.

(The links are in description, you have to ddl the raw and the srt files, and name each episode raw and srt by the same name. Hope it helps!)

Remembrance of things past

I am always amazed at cop shows and how the witnesses remember everything exactly as it happened. I do not remember what I had for breakfast this morning nor when I took it. I wonder how many people really remember accurately the events they took part in.

The memory is the premise of this mini web drama. It is interesting to see how people remember same events differently: the gist of it is the same but everything else is different starting with clothes, what they said, where they went....

The main characters are both in relationships with high speed controlling people while they are themselves more easy going and relaxed. When they meet, it is love at first sight and while the woman breaks up immediately with her boyfriend (who does not listen to her...), the man does not have the guts to do the same thing and keeps on lying to his girlfriend. That was actually the only problematic bit here. Other than that, this drama is cute, fluffy, interesting and easy watch. There are a lot of PPLs so I guess this must have been an ad based drama.

The actors had good chemistry and the romance was credible.

Unfortunately, I am not a fan of Hwang Chan Sung having seen him play a baddie in a drama which left me a lasting impression of him as an actor. Even here, where he is playing a cute and a bit lost guy, I keep finding him sleazy and dodgy (which was eventually confirmed when he did not break it off with his girlfriend before dating another woman!). But that's just me.
