Melodia de Esperança (2020)

Okay to start with, this was a really cute drama , I’ll give it a 9/10 overall

One of the main reasons I enjoyed this drama was due to Lee Jae Wook. He was amazing in his other dramas , but I always wanted to see him take a male lead role and in this drama he didn’t disappoint. I wanted to see him take a role where he wasn’t necessarily the bad guy or a role where the FL chooses the ML not the second ML. In “extraordinary you”, I dislike his character, but I resonated and understand him. But I still enjoyed watching him play.

Back to this drama, he was so cute, always looking after the female lead and taking care of her. Even when he was doing all those part time jobs to just look after her, it was just the cutest thing in the word.

I enjoyed the chemistry between them, and how they looked on screen together and I enjoyed how the FL was very decisive on her feeling towards him, it took a minute. But it was cute when they finally got to together.

The last few episodes were okay in my opinion, the last episode was very impactful.

In the last 20 minutes of the series I cried, then I got angry and the writers and then I cried again and then I was mad because it ended so quickly.

Before I complete finished watching the series, in the last 20 minutes or so, I was angry and sad that they killed off the male lead, I thought it was going to end like “ unconditionally fond” when the male lead dies and the female lead ends up alone by the end of the series doing her own thing.

The I got angry in the last few episode where the Fl was talking to a baby and saying that they are going to fetch the father of the baby. At this moment I was angry because I thought the writers made the FL end up with the second ML who was in the with the FL , the ( doctor).
But that wasn’t the case luckily.

The ending was surprisingly and I enjoyed it, but I wish they added 20 more minutes to see how everyone is going to react. I wanted to know how they are going to move forward. I know it’s left to our imagination the ending of their story or continuation, but I would have like to see how it really ended.

I enjoyed watching it, it’s a cute drama that will make i laugh, cry and it’s sweet. There is no second FL who wants to break up the leads. There is a few family drama happening with the ML sides with his family, but it’s nothing series and it’s nothing that takes up 6 episodes of the series .

The ML and the FL were cute together and I would recommend u watching this if ur looking for something cute, light and funny to watch

I hope the make a Season 2, but i highly doubt it

And I hope they give Lee Jae Wook more Male lead roles

Wasn't Worth the time

I went into this drama not expecting much. However the initial few episodes were quite cute and funny. However by the end somehow the writer managed to ruin it all.

PLOT:
It was alright for a cute watch but some of the writing is the laziest and most pointless ever. The female lead is cute and male lead is a typical tsundere. Had it been just a plain romance drama without any crazy drama like it was initially- it would have become my favourite. However with the introduction of the stalker, weird ass 2nd leads, insufferable side characters, cancer plot and time separation - I would have rated it higher. I thought the beginning made no sense but the last few episodes got worse. The ending was downright horrible and all of it was crazy writing. I wonder why the production companies can't cut the dramas shorter or make some side story episodes if they ran out of things to write in the story instead of this mess I watched?

ACTING:
If it wasn't for the leads the drama would be annoying to no end. Go Ara somehow passes off well as a young female in her 20's and manages to look pretty throughout. The character suited her better than some of her older roles. Not the biggest fan of Lee Jae Wook but he is quite promising. I think given he's so young, he is a good actor and can surely mature in the future. He has a bright future given he chooses the right projects. My favourite was Shin Eun Soo who blew me away with her cuteness. I would kill to see her in more school/college type of dramas as she is so young and cute too. Rest of the side characters were forgettable.

OST:
It has some nice songs but none that became my fave yet.

REWATCH VALUE:
This doesn't exist for an already-difficult-to-watch-once type of drama. Next.

OVERALL:
I won't be recommending this drama unless you are a diehard stan of either of the leads. If you are looking for a good story, maybe look elsewhere. If you just want the fuzzies and don't care about the actual plot then dive right in at your own discretion. I am giving it a pity 6 just for the few laughs I got in the beginning episodes.

Fun beginning… terrible ending

when I began watching this show I thought it was simple and fun. However the plot then became confusing. I hated the age gap, and the ending??? what was the reason. Definitley not the worst drama I’ve watched. I loved the characters. But I would’ve been fine if I never finished this drama.

I understand the age of minors is different in Korea but I could not get over the fact that she was a grown woman and he was a high schooler. And it came out so early in the show the last 4-5 episodes just felt like filler episodes and didn’t go with the rest of the story.

"Good Good!" -Ra ra It's a good show!

I love those show soooo much! I gave it a 10000/10, okay maybe I over exaggerated with the number, but this show, I really enjoyed watching it. I love the story, the acting, the music. The show, it'll make you laugh and it will make you cry, it reminded me that even when in the darkest time to have hope, it's okay to say I'm biased, even if you do watch it and you might think that I over exaggerated, and that would be fine, because I really enjoyed watching Do do sol sol la la sol and I wanted to let everyone else, to hopefully enjoy it as well.
Thank you for reading my review!!
"Good good!"

cool series

I liked the lightness of the series, the delicious romance, Jun and Rara's love blossoming, firming... the two of them are beautiful together! They could have explored the two more, with more romantic scenes… Until the last 2 episodes… terrible! Jun's illness is completely unnecessary! The issue of his family being against it, him having to study medicine, that sort of thing could have been better! But, a serious illness?! And 5 years later?? Ridiculous! Imagine something like that…. The poor girl suffered like hell, but who's to say that after 5 years she wouldn't have found a direction in her life?…. And it just comes out of nowhere…. They made a big mistake at the end!! Unfortunately, they didn't close with a flourish, a series that could have been great from start to finish!

Yikes!

The story was outright bad in the first place but its execution was even worse. Incoherent disjointed narrative, more often than note there was no clear direction or goal. It's impressive how it managed to continue for 16 episodes. The first 4 episodes were completely empty and could have been cut down to 30 minutes at most. Other slice of life dramas are more eventful than this one. As per usual the trend seems to be to over-saturate everything and turn a blind eye to anything else. This is Go Ah Ra's weakest project and the shallow character itself was tiring to watch.

Cried like a baby!

This movie was very entertaining. The characters played were funny and kept my interest. I have to say I cried like a baby during the death absence of Lee Jae Wook's character. I could not believe that the show would end with such a sad note even though some of the other characters ended up in a happy scenario. I loved the character that Lee Jae Wook portrayed. I am his new fan and will be watching other dramas/movies he is in. Thank you for such a great entertaining drama but I could have done without the part of the death of the character played by Lee Jae Wook. I had to keep telling myself it was just acting. I could feel the sadness and heartbreak thru the great acting performed. Thank you for ending it in a positive note otherwise I would still be crying. Great job to all.

Allora secondo me il drama regge botta fino alla 13esima/ inizio 14esima puntata. Partiamo dal fatto che ci sono una marea di coincidenze che legano Rara e Jun che, ok saranno carine e si ho capito che è per sottolineare il fatto che fossero destinati a stare insieme sin dall'inizio, ma alcuni espedienti li ho trovati un pò forzati...ma ehi è un drama e quindi una volta immersi nella storia, ci può anche stare e può piacere ( a me alla fine sono piaciuti).

La storia del signor "stellina", mi è piaciuta ed ammetto che non pensavo potesse essere Jun, perché mi sembrava " Troppo telefonata" Come cosa... Ed è per questo che funziona bene, perché è talmente ovvio che lo scarti dal principio. Unica cosa che non ho apprezzato è il fatto del nome scelto per il profilo Instagram "Dodosolsollalasol" (Nome del locale in cui i due protagonisti si incontrano per la prima volta).

Assurdo come il nome del locale dove i due si sono conosciuti corrisponda alle stesse note della canzone "brilla, brilla, qualcosa" ( scusate ma al momento mi sfugge il titolo preciso 🤣) che lei suona al suo saggio di diploma e dove sembra ci sia andata tutta la Corea del Sud, visto che praticamente erano presenti metà dei personaggi del drama. Ecco questa è la coincidenza che non ho apprezzato, perché fin dall'inizio legano la canzone al saggio e poi dal nulla, ad oltre metà drama tirano fuori la storia del locale, che lo spettatore non può collegare se non quando decidono di farlo vedere.

Ultima cosa, il PROBLEMONE aggiunto praticamente alla fine, risolto in si e no una puntata e in maniera davvero pessima. Farsi credere morto e riapparire dopo 5 ANNI è da pazzi, fossi stata io lo avrei ucciso con le mie mani...che poi e se lei si fosse rifatta una vita!? Mah, avrei preferito che fosse rimasto morto sinceramente, avrebbe avuto più senso...Anche perché ormai il pacchetto di fazzoletti era stato usato da un pezzo 😂😂😂

Cute, but Emotionally Draining

This is one of the sweetest dramas I've ever seen. The love story is cute and the first half of the drama is almost perfect, in my opinion, but the drama does kind of stumble in the second half with a couple of unnecessary and dramatic twists. The last three or four episodes are just so emotionally exhaustive I almost had to pause mid-episode to process it all. I'll still probably rewatch this drama because, despite its frustrating ending, it's a cute love story. I'll just end the rewatch at episode 14 or so.


SEMI-SPOILER-FILLED mini rant:
Episode 16 is the worst. Why did he have to choose that lie?! Of all things, why the heck would he put everyone through all that? For. Five. Years. I understand that he didn't want to see her during that time, but damn. That's not the way to do it. For. Five, Years. Those last five minutes were disappointing as hell. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it turned out alright, but I thought they'd at least end it with her finally getting a proper wedding. It's so frustrating.
