Melodia de Esperança (2020)

Perdi meu tempo.

Esse é um dos dramas da temporada que eu estava mais animada pra assistir, agora nem sei porque perdi meu tempo cheando até o episódio 16, a primeira metade do drama indicava que seria um dos melhroes da temporada, depois foi só ladeira abaixo.

Eu geralmente gosto de um bom clichê e não vejo mal num drama com muitos clichês juntos mas esse exagerou e não soube usar bem nenhum dos plots. Teve de stalker a noona romance, a família impedindo o relacionamento a doença terminal.

O noona romance ia ser legal se ele fosse de maior ou se a passagem de tempo ocorresse antes, ao invés disso, mostraram a idade real dele depois que o casal já estava praticamente junto, sem falar nessa ex namorada que chega do nada perto do fim, e essa doença pra separar o casal e ainda esse plot do ultimo episódio que só se resolve nos ultimos minutos onde ele mostra absolutamente zero consideração de verdade pela RaRa e pelo pessoal do bairro.

Dito isso, o elenco é bom e soube atuar bem até com um roteiro desses, a trilha sonora do drama também foi boa e esperava pelo menos isso de um drama focado em música....

Se não fossem os atores, nos dois últimos episódios eu ia achar que estava assistindo outro drama

Não entendi a roteirista nos últimos episódios. Ela tinha uma história legal que vinha sendo construída por doze capítulos e depois abandonou tudo e criou vários plots desnecessários no drama. Até aqui eu perfoaria, mas o pior foi que ela não resolveu ou resolveu de forma corrida, tudo que ela jogou em cima dos personagens.

O que me cativou inicialmente em Melodia da Esperança foi a forma como os personagens eram leves e como eles sempre enfrentavam as fatalidades da vida de forma positiva. Mais que isso, ali na pequena cidade de Eunpo, a união fazia a força e um ajudava o outro naquele clima de boa vizinhança que a gente ama. O casal protagonista era interessante e o secundário super divertido! Enfim, não teve como não torcer pra todo mundo terminar bem e feliz.

Maaaaas da segunda metade do drama pra frente, alguns acontecimentos desastrosos começaram a aparecer. Teve ex namorada, casamento fake, "vamos terminar pq quero te proteger", doença terminal e no fim até uma revelação que fez ZERO sentido.
Pensei que tava vendo outro drama, inclusive.

Vou guardar as partes positivas do drama no meu coração porque ele me fez rir muito e refletir sobre a importância de valorizar quem amamos em nossa vida. O resto, vou fingir que não vi para não passar raiva.

Começo incrível final desastroso

O plot de Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol a princípio não chamou muito a minha atenção, mas o elenco desse drama contém diversos atores que eu gosto muito e por isso decidi dar uma chance. Os primeiros episódios foram muito bons e eu estava amando a atmosfera fofa e engraçada da história.

A Rara é uma personagem extremamente cativante e otimista e eu amava ver as loucuras dela e as interações que ela tinha com o Jun.

Eu estava amando o casal Jun e Rara, mas achei o plot dele ainda estar no ensino médio, um pouco sem sentido, mas até então a história continuava muito boa.

No entanto após o episódio 10 a história começou a ficar cada vez mais enrolada, parecia que a autora não tinha mais o que colocar no roteiro e por isso resolveu encher o drama com plots desnecessários e clichês, o que é uma pena, pois eu adoraria ver um pouco mais do desenvolvimento dos personagens, invés de tramas chatas e repetitivas que se repetem em todos os doramas.

(SPOILER DOS DOIS ÚLTIMOS EPISÓDIOS)

Agora o que estragou de vez o roteiro para mim, foram esses últimos episódios. A autora de repente decidiu colocar que o Jun iria ter leucemia, e essa situação foi tão jogada e sem sentido e invés dele desenvolver melhor os personagens no último episódio do dorama ela resolveu ´´matar`` o personagem principal e deixar todos os outros personagens de luto. Mas até aí tudo bem, o pior foi ela colocar o Jun para reaparecer 5 anos depois, e o pior, ele aparece para a Rara como se nada tivesse acontecido, mas já tinham se passado 5 ANOS, e ela achava que ele estava MORTO. Sem contar que quando ela estava chorando ele ainda fica rindo da cara dela, como se tivesse tudo bem uma pessoa desaparecer por 5 anos, falar que morreu e depois aparecer na porta da sua casa como se nada tivesse acontecido.

O pior é que ele ainda dá a desculpa de que não queria ver ela sofrer kkkkk, é rir para não chorar. Sério eu fiquei com tanto ódio dele nessa cena, sem contar que o Senhor Kim morreu e nem viu o Jun uma última vez.

Achei esse final péssimo e a única coisa que salvou esse final, foi o casal secundário, que além de serem muito fofos, tiveram um final satisfatório.

Um K-Drama que tinha tudo para ser perfeito!

Confesso que comecei a ver esse drama pelo Lee Jae Wook. Eu já estava meio que preparada para o que poderia encontrar no desenrolar da trama devido as avaliações, mas apreciar o trabalho Lee Jae Wook, valia o risco de me decepcionar ou acabar amando a trama.
O drama é uma comédia romântica sobre uma pianista que, depois de perder tudo, chega a uma cidadezinha onde descobre esperança, amor, amizade e um novo lar. E um jovem com espírito livre e que não possui um sonho ou objetivo específico para sua vida mas de uma forma bem inusitada seu caminho acaba cruzando com o dela.
O drama é bom, mas tinha tudo para ser muito mais do que foi. Inicialmente, Melodia de Esperança proporciona cenas divertidas, com uma história muito bonita de superação e amor e com aquele casal fofura bem clichê dos quais a gente não se cansa de gostar.

A trama começou tendo tudo para ser um ótimo drama daqueles com personagens fofos, o enredo trazia uma história interessante. Porém, após a segunda metade do drama, a trama se perde. Os episódios finais foram uma bagunça completa. Uma chuva de informações completamente sem sentido foram adicionados na reta final lavando tudo o que o drama tinha construído até então. Por volta do episódio 12, o roteiro se perdeu completamente,

Mas vale ressaltar que o elenco é muito bom e conta com a presença do meu queridinho Lee Jae Wook ( Sun Woo- Joon) como protagonista. Mesmo com um roteiro que se perdeu influenciando diretamente o perfil de seu personagem, ele simplesmente dá um show com uma atuação novamente impecável! Ele conseguiu me passar todo o sentimento do personagem de forma hipnotizante. Chora fácil. Não tem jeito, Lee Jae-wook deixa qualquer drama grandão!

Ainda estou revoltada pq a série poderia ser perfeita! Desnecessário o que aconteceu principalmente nos dois últimos episódios. Esse final estragou um k-drama que tinha tudo para ser perfeito. Ou seja, por conta desses dois últimos episódios não fiquei tão satisfeita com o desfecho do drama.

Uma história tão bonita que conseguiu se perder em seu próprio roteiro

Começo a resenha de hoje dando o seguinte conselho: se você já está decidido a assistir este dorama, por favor, assista até o episódio 13 (no máximo até o 14). Explicarei os motivos depois. Se quiser, siga por sua conta e risco até o episódio final, mas te garanto que há 99,9% de chances de você se arrepender.

Durante os nossos belos treze primeiros episódios, a história é pura fofoca e fofura! Já deu para sentir o clima novela mexicana só pelo resumo, mas a narrativa não para por aí! Tem stalker, mães ricas furiosas e filhos fugitivos, médico bonitão... Xii, até crimes! Apesar de serem vários os problemas que surgem no decorrer dos episódios, eu diria que foram bem trabalhados, viu? E muito bem encaixados, nada tão previsível (sinceramente, tem plot twists demais!).
Quem queria ver algum papel em que o Jae-Wook fosse um cara fofo, e não aquele frio e arrogante como o Baek-Kyung de Extraordinary You, aproveita a chance, este dorama é o lugar certo! Eu JURO que ele sendo o mocinho gentil e cuidadoso é a coisa mais linda de se ver (confesso que saí querendo um namorado que nem ele hahaha).
Sobre o romance, a gente não tem aquela pegada forte dos clássicos triângulos amorosos (graças a Deus!), e mesmo se tivesse, a química entre o Jun e a Ra Ra é tão forte que outro personagem apaixonado torna-se até desnecessário.

CONCLUSÕES GERAIS:

Este dorama leva uma nota 8. Fiquei com o meu coração tocado pela história dos personagens e a mensagem que ela passa sobre a importância da música na vida das pessoas. Eu super indico essa série, pode assistir com a família também, mas o final é bem decepcionante e, como recomendado antes, vale a pena ver até o episódio 13.
Caso não queira ler spoilers, terminamos o nosso papo por aqui. Espero que você tenha gostado e que eu tenha conseguido te convencer a assistir.

EPISÓDIOS FINAIS E O SURTO COLETIVO DOS ROTEIRISTAS:
Eu pensava que já tinha visto plot-twists absurdos e uma série de finais ruins o suficiente para que nada mais me surpreendesse, mas esse dorama conseguiu superar tudo o que eu vi antes. Sério, o que o autor tomou para decidir colocar um final desses? Ainda mais faltando DOIS EPISÓDIOS. Pareceu mais um daqueles de casos de não-sei-escrever-finais-então-tome-aí-uma-doença-e-uma-morte-para-chorar-bastante-e-esquecer-que-foi-ruim. Sendo sincera, o problema não está no fato de terem decidido acrescentar isso ao roteiro, mas sim a forma como fizeram isso.

A gente que tá assistindo não recebe indício algum durante os outros episódios (ao menos eu não percebi) e quando tudo parece bem o coitado do Jun toma chá de sumiço e me aparece doente? E PIOR! Já não bastando isso tudo, acharam não ser suficiente e decidiram matar o Jun. EU CHOREI COMO UMA CONDENADA!! Mas o que me revoltou mesmo foi quando decidem trazer ele a vida de novo com aquela desculpazinha esfarrapada? Com licença, né, senhor roteirista. Ter colocado a leucemia do nada foi ruim, mas eu receberia o final bem melhor se tivessem deixado o Jun morto como ele pareceu estar…

Juro que nunca fiquei tão chateada com um final. ‘Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol’ tinha MUITO potencial, e realmente fez muita coisa na maior parte dos episódios, mas esse final estragou tudo… Pelo menos o autor conseguiu me fazer chorar litros, rir muito, passar raiva e ainda surtar com momentos de fofura. Virei uma máquina de humor ambulante.

Earlier episodes 8.5/10, finale 0/10

The story had so much promise. Great cast, great chemistry, interesting plot points:
1) Who is DoDoSolSolLaLaSol?
2) fated romance of Rara and Jun
3) growing friendships in Eunpo
4) relationship lines of the secondary couples

But then suddenly at episode 14, the writers decided that things were looking too prematurely good for the leads that they had to go through one of those stupid draggy kdrama tropes: a lead character gets an incurable disease and the characters don't communicate, a lead character suddenly gets into a car crash and loses their memory, an ex-girlfriend appears and makes the female lead jealous and the leads don't communicate... you know, ONE OF THOSE.
And the way the writers attempted to resolve this conflict was even worse. Details in episode 16, I've marked this review spoilerless so ask in the comments if you are really desperate.

Long story short, it was such a wasted potential because that big fate reveal was so touching and the main romance line was totally shippable
until the writers decided to just play with our feelings and execute the most unrealistic finale just so they could tell the audience they gave us a "happy end."

I'm screaming. I had so much hope for Lee Jae-wook's big first male lead role, and for the amazing cast of support characters like the doctor and Rara's landlady. Never watched Go Ara's works before but she played this clueless happy-go-lucky girl pretty well. And the mysteries surrounding the leads' past and the identity of the titular character were nicely done. But then... sigh.

Verdict? If you're okay with leaving things open-ended, watch until the airport scene in episode 15.
If you're the viewer that needs closure, forget this drama existed and watch something else (Search:WWW is an amazing rom com where Lee Jae-wook gets a hilarious and cute love line). Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol's Episode 16 will have you screaming in anger.

No No No No La La No

WTF!!!!!!!!!
If someone I loved pretended to be dead for 5 yrs and suddenly appeared in front of me, I wouldn't even want to look at their face.

The grief from death isn't the same as the grief from a breakup.

The writer had been playing with this since the beginning by giving the doctor a case of pills to carry everywhere. Writers should stop trying to make the audience cry. At this point they just seem like the bad teacher that hits you so you become better. This is not a healthy way of creating emotions in people.
The last few 4 or so episodes seemed like fillers with lots of throwbacks and nonsensical plot lines.
It's ok to make dramas shorter. If a story can be told better in fewer episodes, do it! It's better than spoiling a story that was good to begin with.

This idea of going through hard times alone even if you have loved ones is an Asian ideal that I can't really understand and I believe it's so damaging considering the mental health and suicide issues that are so prevalent there. Especially in South Korea. We've seen so many idols die to suicide. Pushing this idea that you have to endure hardships alone and come back to your loved ones when you're "not broken anymore" and not cause them "trouble" is something that might make this issue worse.

I can't stand by this drama anymore. The ending message is very damaging to those suffering from any sort of illness.

I'm not even going to speculate about the ending. It doesn't matter. It is what it is. And it doesn't do it for me.

Don't do it. Just don't - no matter how cute you think it is.

No. Just no.
Please do yourself a favor. Do not watch this. You will be sucked in by the cute and the fluffy and the sweet! It will go on for about 13 and a half episodes and you will love it.

Then apparently the writer started smoking crack.

I've never been so angry about the ending of a drama in my life! The 5 stars is completely for the acting and the music and the 13.5 lovely episodes. (Although the writer still may have been a bit high writing all of it to be perfectly honest because at the end you realize how much nonsense is in this show. It was just hidden by the sweetness!)

And I couldn't even rage quit this show because by the time they have enraged you with what they've done --- boom! It's over. The last 3 minutes gave me a total rage fit. I was prepared for a sad ending - I sobbed for the SAD ending and then came to terms with it even though I hated the way it appeared they were going to end it. But this....this was just....wrong. So much wrong. They did those characters dirty. They did the audience dirty. They did those actors dirty.

The good story with weird ending

It was a very refreshing drama, kind of sweet, I love the way of execution of the story and the character development. Even though there is 8 years difference between the main lead but their screen chemistry was very good. but it was very good until the 14 episodes they messed up the ending...I mean they really messed up, It was the weirdest and worst ending ever. It didn't explain anything. So it was 8.5 for me until 14 ep but it's all messed up now ...like all people got a happy ending except the main lead (or they got writer knows it's like an open ending) I am very confused.

I will surely recommend this drama but the last 2 episodes are a huge disappointment!

Huge failure in the writing

WHAT I LIKED:
-Ra Ra : little princess lost in the world. She is naïve but optimistic and she would tell you bluntly what is ok and what is not. She has an adorable cheerful personality and she slowly shows a mature side of herself.
-Jun: a mysterious but kind guy who does his best to survive by himself but also to help everyone around him.
- The great chemistry between Ra Ra and Jun
- Ha Young and Seung Gi : usual friends who become lovers. They are cute and friendly people
- The women at the hair saloon: crazy women but warm and funny people
- Grandpa: a kind person who helps them all openly and also secretly. I liked his background story
- The head of detective agency : the most fun of them all.
- Dr Cha : I really had a problem with him at first as he was weird with Ra Ra and tried to woo her. He became more likeable though.

WHAT I DID NOT LIKE:
The writer managed to portray very endearing characters with their interactions describing a lot of love and care from one to the others. It made the general athmosphere nice, fun and heartwarming. But the problem is that the writer never knew where to head to. There is no clear plotline and it navigates from a situation to another situation which are either cute (grandpa story, Jae min's story) or confusing (Ra Ra's father's death, stalker story), or irritating (fake cancer, fake wedding) until the final episodes with silly useless revelations and a ridiculous ending.

The writer basically never managed to tell a story and was mostly leading on the audience to manipulate it and extort emotions from it. Lame.

MUSIC: It was ok

REWATCH: Why rewatch? Don't even watch.

OVERALL : 10 for the main characters. 2 for the story. Overall: 6. I clearly don't recommend this drama. It is a waste of time.

confused enjoyment

As a fan of Go Ara and Shopping King Louis I had really high expectations for this drama, and it took me for a ride. If you’re looking for a sweet romantic comedy about found family and learning to love again, then watch this!

Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol (the notes to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star) is about a naïve rich pianist (Goo Rara) who reaches rock bottom after the death of her father, and a mysterious man (Sunwoo Jun) who lends her money and helps her get back on her feet with a piano academy. As fragile souls out in the world alone for the first time, they find comfort and love in each other as well as the cast of characters around them.

Strengths:
-The characters!
Rara is delightful. Despite falling so far from a sheltered life of comfort, she stays positive and hopeful, and her warmth heals the characters around her (and us in the audience). She sees and brings out the good in the people, and they reciprocate with the same energy. Multiple characters which start out antagonistic become part of the extended family and my heart is so filled with love.

-Acting/cast
Go Ara does a wonderful job of playing Rara, the role suits her perfectly since her personality is very similar in real life. Though Sunwoo Jun is initially a more restrained character compared to Rara, Lee Jaewook is great at communicating Jun’s inner thoughts through his eyes and body language, and he especially excels during the more emotional scenes that come later on. Go Ara and Lee Jaewook have great chemistry (people always say that it is despite the 8 year age gap but I don’t know why such an age gap (same as Shopping King Louis btw) only seems to be a potential obstacle when the woman is older but I digress). Other members of the cast do a great job at portraying supporting characters that we come to adore just as much as the main leads. Considering that this is a romantic comedy, the comedic timing does not disappoint either.

-Music
Music is an integral part of Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol. It takes classical pieces and weaves their meanings throughout the plot and characters, and their melodies throughout the backdrop. The piano scenes are so beautifully emotional that they make me regret quitting piano. In addition to the classical OST, there is also the conventional pop OST. Extraordinary You and Shopping King Louis fans will find familiar voices in the track list (Sondia, Epitone Project, April; Monsta X, GFriend).

-Dog!
Rara has a pomeranian named Mimi.

Weaknesses:
-Plot (in the last quarter of the drama) and ending
This drama really likes to subvert our expectations of tropes, which is a strength for most of its run (a spoiled and rich girl who’s not entitled and mean?? Great!). But in its last quarter, it falls victim to the typical show-is-ending-soon-so-let’s-stir-shit-up view bait that afflicts so many Kdramas. As an initially warm and positive show which became a source of healing for so many people, the last part of the drama is exhausting with the way it constantly tries to trick us by attempting to be smart with its manipulation of tropes. While in the beginning, tropes are subverted to avoid melodrama, the last quarter would subvert one melodramatic trope with a completely incomprehensible and melodramatic trope (it feels like the writers forgot they were supposed to be writing a romantic comedy). Its signature cute and heartwarming moments are still present in this last quarter but be prepared to get whiplash from the main couple, and don’t watch the episode previews because they become maliciously misleading (also, the ending is pure trash, 0/10).

Nonetheless, Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol is still enjoyable. If you wanted a drama with a tightly woven plot, then you probably need to look somewhere else. But, if you enjoy cuteness, laughter, character growth, supportive relationships, and cathartic music, then you should watch this drama.

Wonderful drama until it all fell apart in the latest episodes

Story: It was all rainbows and unicorns (as a rom-com SHOULD be) until writer decided to go into MAKJANG territory and destroy all the hard work she put into creating this story (last minutes of ep.16 was just an ordeal to watch) The story has so much heart in the beginning, with endearing characters who despite not being blood-related helped/supported each other in difficult times, they were like the perfect family that everyone dreams of.
Chemistry between the leads was on point. They made a beautiful couple and even when Jun was revealed to be a high-schooler, I didn't mind at all (I know many people were bothered by this detail, I wasn't one of them), I stood by them and hoped for a beautiful resolution to their love story. I'm still angry at the writer for giving everyone the happy-ending they deserved except our main couple. Jun faking his own death for 5 years, him coming back into Rara's life and acting as nothing has happened was just appalling. I just can't with this one...who in their right mind thought it was a nice way to wrap up things?

Rara could have move on and been married, you know it's been 5 fuck*ng years and you expect her to welcome him open arms and to forgive him just like that *oh wait, it's exactly what happened* (she thought he was dead for God's sake!!!)
I would be furious as hell and dump him on the spot (even if the guy was the real Lee Jae Wook!)
Before leaving, he should have told her the truth. Period. Rara would have probably been devastated at first but she could have given him the emotional support he needed and they could have faced it together like real couples would do. In concealing the truth, he's showing he didn't trust her, he's treating her like a little girl.

DoDoSolSolLaLaSol's revelation was about the only good thing in the latest episodes. It was beautiful, I admit, it made my heart flutter. Knowing he fell in love at first sight and all the things he did to keep in touch with her was just so precious and romantic (he was indeed her star/guardian angel) but writer had to ruin that lovely concept with the nonsensical and outdated illness plot ughh

The best ending imho: Show started with a wedding that fell through and should have ended with our main leads wedding. Coming in full circle. Writer may have thought it was too cliché?!? Still I'd take this 'cliché' ending over the infuriating one she has given us.

Edit: Writer could have include the wedding in a last epilogue for example. Just a thought.
Finale Rating: 6.5/10 and I'm being generous (8.5 from first episode to 13)

Acting:
Top-notch acting from everyone. I was most wary of Go Ara but she pleasantly surprised me with her bubbly, fun and optimistic character.
They are the reason why I stuck with this drama till the end. They deserved better. Writer failed them big time! And she ruined LJW first leading role *angry* (writer is blacklisted from now on!!)
To think it's from the same team behind 'Shopping King Louie' which is one of my fav dramas ever *I just can't believe it*
Rating: 9.5/10

Music:
OST was nice and I quite liked it.
Rating: 8.5//10

Rewatch Value: No, I won't go through this one a second time. Drama ended when Jun crashed the fake wedding and they went to the beach.
Rating: 3.5/10

Overall: For those wondering why I'm so harsh with the writer and the drama in general...It's because it could have been a great drama, it had so much potential in the beginning and I trust the writer because I watched all her projects (there's only 2) and enjoyed them a lot. I just feel cheated in the end.
Finale Rating:7.5/10 (mainly for the actors fabulous performances)
