Melodia de Esperança (2020)

What the hell have I watched?

This is my first time writing a review here. And I am writing a negative review as a first. Woww!
But I had to pour out my feelings because I am just so dissatisfied with how this drama had to end. So here it goes-

For me, Dodosolsollalasol started off very nicely. I got fascinated with the plot so it entered in my wishlist.
There were many happy and fun moments and I was enjoying every bit of it and recommending it to my friends until the story started to fall apart halfway the drama.
Whats worst? The ending. I just cant believe a professional writer could make such an immature mistake. The drama is a romcom so we expect a realistic storyline which a realistic ending, funny scenes and some romance. Romcoms dont always have to end happily. Just because the production team wanted to feed the audience with a happy ending, the entire drama became messy with no focus and turned out into a silly one. I sometimes feel like they made all the changes at the end in the last minute just to cover up the sad ending that could've been.
Anyway, I wouldnt watch it again nor recommend anyone too unless you want to waste more than 16 hours of your time just to say "What the hell was that?" in the final episode.

Acting was so fine from all the actors. I loved how each episode was titled with a piano piece, how they made us anticipate who dodosolsollalasol really was, Mimi, Rara's car, Haraboji and his cute touching love story.

BEAUTIFUL DRAMA...

For me Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol is the best drama of 2020.
I don't bother at all with negative comments about the last episode.
the writer has the right to write a play as he wishes.
You have to all admit that Go Ara and Lee Jae Wook have done a great job in this difficult period of the corona virus that every nation is facing.
honestly I enjoyed watching this drama, I laughed a lot I cried but I also fell in love.
Jun and Ra ra deserved their happy ending.
Leukemia is a severe disease, but it is not incurable if it is responded to in a timely and timely manner.
jun believed in himself all the time and knew he had to fight for himself and the person he loved.
every honor Go Ara and Lee Jae Wook on excellent and enchanting chemistry by me the best.
I also want to tell everyone that the OST of this drama is truly wonderful
I hate people who leave negative comments for this wonderful drama.
You better stop because you spoil the mood of others and me personally because I adore this drama.
This drama has brought so much joy and love into my life and it will always remain in my memory and of course I will watch it many more times with my loved ones.
One day when the corona virus situation stabilizes I want to visit Seul and Eunpo (Mokpo) I also want to try South Korean food and get to know their culture better.
And in the end I totally fell in love with Lee Jae Wook he is so handsome and charismatic and he is only two years older than me.

NOPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

i finished this kdrama today and honestly i really disliked it? i started it like months ago and struggled finishing it for so long, it started feeling like a burden because once i start something i NEED to finish it but it was just so…boring. it was repetitive and it kept going in circles and the plot felt like it wasn’t moving anywhere. also i really hated the ending like bro theres no way they did that? it was so out of pocket…
basically the main character was diagnosed with cancer and they made it look like he died because the mother of the main character told everyone (including his gf) thats hes fr dead…they did a 5year time skip and he came back out of nowhere to reveal he’s alive and he just wanted them to think hes dead because he wanted to recover fully before coming back LIKE ARE YOU MENTAL IN WHAT WORLD IS THAT OK….5YEARS OF MENTAL TORTURE BC U THOUGHT UR PARTNER IS DEAD……….uhm i personally would not let that slide ????? but yeah im glad i finished this finally but i dont recommend it…if youre like me and feel the need to finish what uve started, ur just gonna trap urself with this one ?

Oh God…no

Like most reviewers have already said, this was cute and fluffy and fun up until the last few episodes. I rarely just binge watch episode after episode but I did this one. I really liked it. Then it took a devastating turn.

Let me say the thing I HATE the most in dramas is the breakup because “I don’t like you anymore” (when they really do) just to protect the other person. That is the most hurtful thing you can do. Plus, you don’t know how the other person will react if you tell the truth.

But then, on top of that, to be told he was DEAD when he wasn’t. Then for him to return in 5 years? That was plenty of time for her to move on. After that, we had like 5 minutes of them together and it wasn’t satisfying at all. They just sat on the hill talking like nothing had happened. I almost wished he had stayed dead instead of an ending like this. At least, then, it would have been a beautiful, heartbreaking love story.

Who knew a fun, romantic comedy would have such a completely unnecessary and devastating ending.

You will be Happy, then sad to just upset at the end

this is the first drama where i actually research who was the screenwriter because they should be ashamed of that ending. Such a great story and then Bam….. ridiculous rush ending. How do you mess up such a great story; You have amazing actors! You want to be happy because it is an happy ending but no……just no. I understand there was an age gap but 5 years? ????. How many people was in that directing team?Did they read the plot? Juno getting sick and going for treatment in the US could be believable; He was a bit scrawny and had some nosebleeds but cancer? It is still ok, just needed more time to work out but the rest is just a no.

That ending...

I genuinely don't know what to say. It was going so well and then... I just can't accept the fact that the writers decided that THAT was a good ending.

I have a theory tho. Jun's mother never specifically said that Jun was dead BUT she didn't deny it either, and that's what pisses me the most. I think Jun was unaware of what his mother was doing and he then knew the truth years later... but it just... if that's what really happened, I can't believe his mother was, at the end, the cruelest of them all.
And if that's not the case, and he planned all of this with his mother, I... If he did that, I'd be more pissed with the writers cause that's something that Jun's character would NEVER do, NEVER. It's not coherent with his character at all.

I can't think of other explanations, but I'm so mad that the writers ruined such a good drama with that shitty ending. Yes, I'm happy he's alive but the whole reason his death was hidden from Rara, I just don't understand it.

Okay, but besides that rant hahaha It's my first time seeing Jae wook's acting and I'm surprised. He's such a good actor at such a young age, I fell in love with him the moment he appeared on screen. I'd like to watch more of his dramas in the future.

It was cute!

Listen, I honestly enjoyed this drama a lot. The characters were cute and sometimes all over the place. The chemistry was amazing. The music was fantastic. The plot was a little predictable though, and the ending was okay. I kind of wish it hadn't gone the way it did but there's really nothing we can do about that lol The main leads were so cute though, especially the least actress. It was refreshing seeing a cute, bubbly "rich" girl with good morals. Honestly, I know this may not be fore everyone, but it's just my style. It's not too over the top but it's also not too slow paced. It's just right imo.

"The fact is, they lost what could turn out to be one of the best kdramas of 2020."

The catchphrase I'm going to put on to sum up this drama will be that one.
-
At first, I had the prospect that I was watching a 'My secrect romance' 2, but it was only until the fifth episode that everything changed.

To be aware, I managed to drop in a drama that I was enjoying and that from one moment to another, there were scrambled in the script that did not conquer me anymore. It seems like everything was going well, until... from episode 6 to 16 was just downhill. I literally don't know what really happened!

Or, as I said at the time I watched:
"In the first few episodes, I thought the drama would follow the hype of "my secrect romance" - kdrama 2017, but over
time I realized that it would be inappropriate* to make such an analogy...
After two droppes, I was able to watch and finish! I'm not going to say it was very good, good, or even great, but I sure wouldn't want to watch it if there was that possibility. What was that ending? Does anyone know how to define in a word this ending?!"
