Uma Ótima Semana (2019)

Um mini drama que não dei nada por ele quando li a sinopse, mas que acabou me surpreendendo. Não teve nada que me irritasse na história, os personagens são bem legais e a temática é bem interessante.

O casal secundário também era muito bom, e gostei porque mostrou um desenvolvimento natural das duas garotas que tinham exatamente a mesma aparência. Suas personalidades eram bem diferentes e a troca de identidade foi bem divertida.

Achei interessante porque não só abordaram bem esse mundo dos idols de kpop mas também as consequências dos excessos que os fãs cometem.

trade places and you trade problems for free

Short stories are really my type of escape from long length drama .

Story
Idol Kim Byul switch places with a part timer at coffee shop Da eun. Kim Byul has got some troubles and when she comes across her look a like she gets her help. For seven days they switch places for a celebrity dating show where Kim Byul is paired with Han Jung Woo.

Plot View
The story of switching places is seen number a times. Da Eun gets to live a celebrity life which she never wanted to be but due to her kind nature she helps Kim Byul.
the most unexpected is the romance part as the two girls fall for the man on the other side which they would have never met if they kept on living their lives.
We always think that idols/celebrities lives are shinning and glamorous as they get attention but once you walk into their shoes you can feel the pressure of maintaining that shine and popularity. switching places means switching problems too.
Its a series about what idols go though if there is something bothering them in their daily life.

Acting
Jisoo as Jung Da Eun is confident and cheerful. She has bright personality and tackles every situation that come forths her.
Jisoo as Kim Byul is considerate and misunderstood by public. She lacks confidence and gets bullied by one group member. Her keeping the blank face expression was excellent.
Shin Jun Seop as Han JungWoo is a charmer, polite and responsible

Music
OSTs and BGM were amazing. I loved the dance and choreography too.

Rewatch
It really pure and full of innocent acting. I would go for a rewatch.

Appreciation
What makes this one beautiful is the amazing actors with charming faces and gripping script.
The stalker part was done nicely.

Cute cute cute
I wouldn't mind if this was a normal drama with 1 hour long episodes because the characters are adorable and I would watch a bigger story about them 100%
The story is simple, yes, that's obvious, but its so cute to see them creating a relationship of caring for each other and its also very nice to see a drama talking about sasaengs and how they can traumatize artists, the same way that the main character got traumatized by it.
The relationship between the byul and the guy from the cafe is also very cute and could've had been a little more explored, but since is very short web drama i can understand that they were focusing on the main couple.
Again: cute cute cute

Bienvenue dans un monde de faux-semblant...

J’ai commencé, comme souvent, cette histoire sur un coup de tête… Mais j’avoue avoir pris du plaisir à la regarder et voir l’évolution de tout ce petit monde. On peut néanmoins constater que ce Web-drama ne brille pas par son originalité mais les thèmes abordés nous font voir une autre facette des idols et nous fait prendre conscience (si ce n’était déjà fait) de tout ce qu’ils doivent abandonner pour devenir ce qu’ils sont… (Car oui, être star peut faire rêver mais au final, il s’agit surtout d’un abandon de soi-même pour devenir ce que l’on attend de nous.)

Finalement, on nous montre combien le monde des idols est impitoyable et que tout n'est que faux-semblant... Cette histoire nous montre entre-autre :
• Les sasaeng qui sont théoriquement des fans extrêmes... En pratique, ce sont des personnes qui croient qu'une star leur appartient et donc qu'ils/elles peuvent les traiter comme leur poupée... Voici un exemple assez connu de ce genre de comportement : une sasaeng s'étant introduit dans la chambre des "Super Junior" alors que leur résidence se trouvent au 8ème étage... (Si ils/elles étaient aussi tenaces pour des choses censées, ils/elles iraient sûrement loin dans la vie...)
• Le double visage des idols… On nous montre que les stars doivent surveiller leur image, de ce fait, souvent leurs émotions sont « factices » ce qui leur fait jouer un rôle constamment… Ne parlons pas de la jalousie qui prend une grande place dans ce business et qui cause de grandes tensions entre les membres d’un même groupe, ce qui provoque bien plus souvent qu’on ne le pense, des comportements destructeurs les uns envers les autres… (On n’abordera pas les scandales assez fréquent sur le harcèlement d’un membre en particulier d’un groupe…)

I'm a sucker for lookalikes switching identities, it's a classic move xD I've probably seen every american movie out there with this theme ;p
unsurprisingly it's my first drama with Seo Ji Soo, but she's a natural! and pretty too~ I specifically loved Jung Da Eun as a character, and she pulled of the 2 roles so well, specially the way she changed her tone for each character (usually plots like this get unrealistic with that point). and she has a great singing voice too~
90% of my rating is for her, 6% is for mini queen Yoo Ari and 4% is for Yoo Ji Han's smile ;)

the public and law honestly needs to condemn saesangs, and this drama was a nice realistic outlook of the hardships of idols, that's why I loved Yoo Ari, she was a true genuine fan, though it's better to not engage with saesangs ;)

I have to say though, Shin Jun Seop was not that good (that's why I'm removing a 0.5), though his singing voice was nice~

the music and duet were nice too, and my rewatch values are 1 or 10, and I prefer to hope for more acting roles for Seo Ji Soo, and a longer vr of this drama xD

Short and sweet to kill some time

I would say this is one of the best Korean web-dramas I have watched. I think that the story is simple and sweet; it makes you smile even though it is predictable. One of the things that I hated is the fact that the editor and camera crew didn't even try to take shots with both of the main girls together (even if they were the same actress). Considering that they are both idol actors/actresses (Shin Jun Seop from MYTEEN and Seo Ji-soo from Lovelyz), I would look over the fact of their stiff acting. They did carry those visuals though! Sometimes, I thought the main female lead was stiff, but other than that, their acting was up to par for a webdrama. I expected more dancing and singing as part of the plot from these idols, but I guess they didn't want to focus on that. The main female lead kept dancing the same part of the same song whenever there WAS dancing though. Overall, I would recommend it!

This is one of the most wholesome web dramas I have ever seen. I genuinely loved everything about this and binged the whole thing in one go (which isn’t hard, let’s be real). I absolutely loved the facial expressions of the actress and the way such a short drama was able to flesh out the characters and give them so much humanity. I almost wish this was longer because I genuinely got so freaking emotional at the end once everything was concluded, however I appreciate the short, sweet, and simple style of storytelling that this drama delivered. It was a very refreshing and 100% happy and enjoyable experience all around. Probably the only reason I can't give it a 10 is because the drama is just too short for me to consider it.

A simple and lovely drama to kill some time

Another short, but sweet drama. The true strength of these types of dramas is the fact that they cut to the chase and don't overextend the conflicts, making them engaging and easy to watch. One thing particular to this one that I liked a lot was how they aproached the Idol life. I was glad to see them also portraying the negative sides of such job, specially the sasaeng issue.

Da Eun was a great female lead, kind and grounded, but also assertive when needed, not leting other people mistreat her. Kim Byul and her saga of trying to act as an ordinary person, on the other hand, wasn't very entertaining to me, so I was glad the writers decided to not focus on her too much. As for Jung Woo, he was a kind, respectful male lead, his scenes with Da Eun were great.

Overall, a very simple, although sweet drama, recommended for an in-between watch or for someone who doesn't want to start a very heavy/long drama right away.

Wholesome

This was actually a really fun Princess and the Pauper kind of story — overall really wholesome, though also really cliche. I really liked the relationship dynamic between all of the characters, but I do think that maybe more time would have allowed the drama to go more into depth on a lot of interesting topics that they kind of only scratched the surface of (saesang culture, idol pressure, etc.)

I wasn't a huge fan of the ML; though he had a subplot and background it felt like actual character development was a bit thin. Other than that, this was still a pretty lighthearted watch and I'll still tune into the second season!
