Por Favor, Não Namore Esse Cara (2020)

Cuidado com os caras

Ahh que drama proveitoso!!!
Nesse drama voce vai ficar em agonia, vai se sentir vingada, vai chorar, vai se apaixonar, vai ser salva so fogo e de relacionamento abusivo, vai ser sequestrada, perceguida, agredida, vai infringir a lei, vai passar por fofoquira e ainda vai endeuzar um sistema artifício "deus Jango". Mas em meio ao fim, voce vai olhar para dentro de si e rever conceitos, julgamentos e sua otica em questoes delicadas.

Persogem principal e inteligente e forte, o tipo de mulher decidida, mas as vezes se frustra...normal ne, mas tem coisas sobre ela quw sao maravilhosas e que todas temos dentro nós...sentimentos inconclusivos e duvidas ruminantes.
Esse é um dramao!!!!

Levinho e gostoso de assistir, mas não é um grande drama.

Esse drama captou minha atenção logo no início. Ele tem uma premissa legal e original, uma protagonista forte e personagens únicos e divertidos. O motivo de eu ter dado uma nota abaixo de 8 foi porque a roteirista se perdeu um pouco no desenvolvimento da história. Ela quis criar algo cômico, romântico e também dramático, mas não rolou.

Nos dois primeiros gêneros ela até acertou: as melhores cenas do drama com certeza foram as leves e cômicas. Além dessas, o romance também é fofinho e muito shippavel, pois com exceção do surto coletivo que foram os dois últimos epis, eu fiquei com borboletinhas no estômago por conta do casal principal.

Agora, quando falamos de carga dramática...
Tinha TANTA coisa que poderia ser feita com a história original, mas resolveram zoar o plantão colocando coisas aleatórias, como, por exemplo, transformar um cara qualquer do drama em stalker, sem nem ao menos uma razão plausível. Sem falar no coitado do protagonista masculino que já tava com a vida resolvida no episódio 8, mas a roteirista resolveu que torná-lo um péssimo namorado nos últimos dois episódios.

Para resumir, esse drama é aquele tipo poderia ter adotado o bom e velho "menos é mais". Se a história fosse um pouco menos embaralhada, teria sido incrível e eu aplaudiria de pé.

Um destaque bem positivo que me fez amar o drama: as personalidades únicas de cada personagem. Eu achei incrível que tínhamos pessoas de todos os tipos na história. A roteirista soube criar gente de verdade: com emoções únicas e traços bem diferentes entre si. Eu adorei isso, e de verdade, foi o que me fez assistir até o fim.

Please dont date him: um drama descomplicadamente divertido

Chegou bem perto de me deixar 100% satisfeita, se não fosse aquele deslize que deram nos 2 últimos episódios eu não teria nada para reclamar.

Esse drama cumpre muito bem a proposta a que se destina. isto é, ser algo despretensioso, leve e divertido. Os personagens são legais, a história se desenvolve bem, sem muita complicação, o que te leva a assisti-lo rapidamente.

Tenho que dizer que foi aqui que conheci a personagem feminina mais intrigante da minha vida de dorameira. O que se passa na cabeça dessa mulher é uma incógnita que não consegui descobrir em nenhum momento da história. Deu pra perceber que era essa a intenção do autor da trama, então tenho que dizer que Kim Yi Jung está de parabéns pela ótima interpretação.

E se estamos falando de interpretação tenho que acrescentar que esta foi a primeira vez que Song Ha Yoon interpretou um papel que efetivamente gostei. Seo Ji Sung é um mulher independente e cheia de vida que não tem medo de seguir em frente quando enfrenta uma adversidade no amor.

E vamos combinar que se é pra descobrir que seu noivo é um idiota completo, que seja antes do casamento como aconteceu aqui. Pelo menos se tem a chance de terminar o relacionamento antes de ser tarde demais.

Finalizo dizendo que o também gostei do personagem Jung Kook Hee (Jun), ele era um bombeiro desligado e fofo. Desligado por ser completamente avesso a redes sociais e fofo pelo jeito inocente de ser.

O deslize a que me refiro no primeiro paragrafo diz respeito a forçação de barra que fizeram inserindo um stalker do nada na história com o claro objetivo de encher linguiça. Considero esse tipo de coisa totalmente dispensável.

The rom-com is not the point of this drama

The main theme of this drama is not the love story between the main leads, which is why you won't get to see that many heart fluttering moments.
I was pretty bored for the 2 first episodes, I wasn't sure where the drama was going, there was no character development.
If you're looking for a good romcom drama, I found this blend on the romance and comedy aspects, and I felt like the romcom was almost a cover-up for the important part.

In my opinion, the interesting aspect is the second plot hidden behind the mainstream romance.
It's about the impact of new technologies and personal data collection from a woman's point of view and how sexism and girl-shaming can be spread though those technologies even though they're supposed to embody progress within our society. And more generally how new technology can impact negatively our daily life.

The ML is the "good guy" because he's out of this overly connected world, which allows him to question things from an outside point of view.
It also depicts all the subtle injustices women can face in daily-life, like not being recognized properly for their work etc...
And above all, this is a BRILLIANT representation of how some people are not inherently bad people with bad intentions but are still unable to see how scary and invasive their actions are in a relationship, and when confronted with it, they throw back the emotional burden on the other and victimize themselves instead (daily gaslightning at its finest).
It's a form of emotional abuse but a very faint one and above all, a socially accepted one, which leaves victims often unheard.
This drama does an amazing job at depicting how gut-wrenching it can feel and how wrong it actually is. The real victim ends up feeling guilt and shame.

Because the seriousness of this show is at first hidden behind a pretty common kdrama storyline, i would not recommand it to people who just want to enjoy a fun drama since the romcom part is actually almost boring.
However, its a very subtle and well-made story if you digg a little deeper.

RomCom done right

Simply, it's romantic comedy done right. There are many shows categorised as "RomCom" over the years and very few deserving of this label. "Please Don't Date Him" is one of the few exception as it brings out genuine laughter in every episode while building on the romantic relationship of the characters.

The literary device used for the plot was properly used and was not just a literary device later forgotten after setting up the story. When this was revealed, I was expecting this show to turn serious and deviate from being a romcom and turn into a serious drama, but the writer(s) stayed true and kept it in the sidelines yet still an important part of the show.

Song Ha Yoon, who played "Seo Ji Sung" did very well in portraying an A.I. programmer yet still "just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her" (to borrow from "Notting Hill"). I also love how they chose a woman as a programmer in this show debunking the stereotypes [1] programming is for men; and [2] girl programmers does not have a love life.

I recommend this show if you are looking for a series which will make you laugh, fall in love all over again, and appreciate the people around you, even strangers like our brave firefighters. Don't forget to check my review of episode 9: https://mydramalist.com/62539-please-don-t-meet-the-man/episode/9 -- a must-watch episode.

It's sad that they only planned a total of ten (10) episodes, they could have extended it to thirteen or a full series (sixteen episodes).

Was a good watch for me.

It's not a typical rom com cause it have some suspense also but definitely not a thriller type. It's just 10 episode short drama so it don't take that time so it's definitely worth to watch if you want to try something different.

I was very confused in the start because of the synopsis cuase I didn't got anything from that... but when I started to watch it it was quite fun. I did enjoyed it even though I didn't liked some parts of it and there were also hilarious moments.

The FL was quite annoying for me sometimes but wasn't that bad character it's just that ML's character was very great indeed so it overshadow it. I also enjoyed the stories of both secondary couples.

Overall it was a good drama with romance, comedy and mystery so I'll recommend it give a chance guys....

This was a well written drama for just 10 episodes!

I enjoyed this drama. When I first started, I was extremely excited because it had mystery, drama, and comedy. Almost every genre that I LOVED. Yes romance too, but the other aspects of the show stood out to me a lot. Even as a girl who is very interested in the engineering major, I definitely got a kick out of this drama.

Story: It was very good for the first few episodes but then things started to go a bit different from how I expected it too. It's not a bad thing though, within 10 episodes this drama has managed to keep the storyline up with many plot fillers and twists which I thought was executed very well.

Acting/Cast: I actually didn't know anything about the main cast except for Bomi, but when I figured out the female ML was one of my favorite actresses, I was sold. Besides favoritism, all the actors included in the story (even the crazy ex) played their character very well without breaking.

Music: 10/10 automatically. I was so eager for 'Who I Am' to release and I haven't stopped listening to it since the day it was released.

Rewatch value: I made this rating low because it's a personal preference, I usually do not watch dramas over again, I've only watched Hana Yori Dango over again and that is the only exception lol. But for others, if you felt as if you didn't get the message throughout the drama or maybe you just really enjoyed, I would recommend to watch it again, I probably would.

Overall: It was a bittersweet, hilarious, yet 'mysterious' drama that I really enjoyed. There's a few tear-jerkers every now and then, but there's also a whole bunch of thrilling and exciting scenes that kept me excited for every episode. I say to give this drama a chance, it was very confusing to follow at first, but trust me the show is really good.

a short and cute drama on an unusual theme!

please don't date him was just a short drama i wanted to try out, with a fresh cast and some sweet looking chemistry!

you'll like this if you enjoy A.I (and women in stem!), or just enjoy hot firefighters ahah. the drama was slow at first, but the story gets better pacing towards the middle. it's overall a pretty well made drama, with some cute supporting characters and couples! i liked how it dealed with aspects of privacy/communication in relationships a lot. but we also see a lot of the usual tropes like boy saves the girl, boy gets trapped with girl etcetera,, it's enjoyable nonetheless!

fun, short and sweet, i guess that would sum this drama up!

Cute Romance with a unique lens on a "crystal ball" way of seeing how that guy really is

9/10 is my rating. This is a 2020/2021 South Korean Romantic Comedy Drama with 10, 70 minute episodes. It is also known as "Please Don't Meet that Guy".

Seo Ji-seong (Song Ha-yoon) is a information technology engineer who works for a development company that adds artificial intelligence components to household appliances and other technology. When a smart refrigerator she is developing goes beyond its programming to not only make meal recommendations but to provide a complete background check of the person input, Ji-seong covertly tries to figure out what the gliche is and stall her boss for time before the product is marketed. As she is testing the refrigerator's AI, she uses people around her as inputs and finds out information about men in her and her friend's lives she is not sure she wanted to know. It reveals a dark secret, Ji-seong's fiancé had been keeping, and causes Ji-seong to break off their long term relationship. Fate steps in and Ji-seong finds herself crossing paths with Jung Kook-hee (Lee Jun-young) multiple times and even has occasion to work with him through a project with her company. She growns close to Kook-hee but is disturbed by his reluctance to have his photograph taken and his avoidence of technology. Having been burned in a relationship once, the secrets Kook-hee is hiding might keep their relationship from moving forward. Can Ji-seong resolve the problems with the AI and solve the mystery of Kook-hee's absolute avoidance of technology?

Overall I liked this. Usually I would think 10 episodes was too short but they were able to develop and tell the story in this number of episodes. I thought the relationship between the ML and FL was believable and they had great chemistry. I really liked Ji-seong and the fact that she was a female IT/engineer was cool because I have personally known a lot of person(s) in those fields and appreciate their analytical thinking. There are always difficulties in translating between different cultures and it was hard for me to understand Kook-hee's guilt over the fire as it was not his fault the firefighter decided to go in thinking he was still inside when, in fact, he went to a soccer game. That is not something individuals are likely to feel guilty over in US culture. I also did not see a lot wrong with Ji-seong finding out about her friend's boyfriends and warning them. She was not doing it intentionally, she was trying to get the refrigerator to simply provide menu suggestions based on a profile. She had to run it to sort the glitch. She may have ran it a time or two when not actively working on the issue and just to find out, but it would be no different than hiring a private detective at that point. I liked that she never forgave the ex boyfriend for betraying her by sharing her pictures with his friends and making comments about her body. That is not something someone who cares about you should ever do. I liked that Ji-seong's mother stuck up for her and told her ex's mother off when she tried to put the blame for the failed relationship on Ji-seong. I was disappointed when Kook-hee turned away from Ji-seong when he found out she might have dug into some personal information. It was right after she stuck up for him without even knowing the whole story. He "came around" but it still felt like a bit of a betrayal that he did not stand with her when she was having a hard time as a result of information being sent to him. Overall it was good and entertaining. Just a few, somewhat minor, "flaws" in some of the characters. It was also a unique story with the refrigerator acting like a "crystal ball."

Wasted potential of interesting idea

I’ve said it once before, the worst dramas to review are those that are simply good. Not bad, not perfect, just good. And unfortunately lately I’ve watched couple of dramas that are good, so my list to review is getting longer and longer with each week. So let’s get is over with. Please Don’t Date Him is a good idea that was basically wasted into oblivion by naive plot solutions and focusing on less interesting plot lines.

And the idea seemed so interesting at first. Young programmer get’s into possession of advanced technology that let’s her infiltrate private lives of people she knows by interface of a smart fridge. Quickly it becomes a tool to check background of men she and her fiends are dating. The problem arises when she meets Jung Kook Hee, young and very mysterious firefighter who seems to have a lot of secrets that he doesn’t want to share with anybody.

And this contrast between Seo Ji Sung with her magical spy fridge and secretive Jung Kook Hee was what made this series so interesting at first. We get a mystery that wanted to be solved, what happened that Kook Hee doesn’t even want to have his pictures taken? Why isn’t he using any advanced form of technology, what is he really hiding? And where is this amazing technology hidden in the fridge coming from?

The thing is, that the answers turned out to be so disappointing that I couldn’t believe how much buildup we had only to be severely disappointed by the outcome. And on all the levels. Because Kook Hee’s secret didn’t seemed to be so scary (the way it was told made us believe that he really done something absolutely atrocious), fridge secret somehow was dissolved so it wasn’t so interesting at the end. Person who leaked informations and wanted to kill Ji Sung at some point was just some random dude that nobody really paid any attention to before. There was just a massive buildup for basically nothing in this series. And that’s a shame, because I honestly found Kook Hee pretty interesting character at one point and was wondering what really his deal is.
And this drama comes up with such ridiculous solutions to very simple ideas. Like, you have someone tied by zip-ties to a kitchen handle. What do you do, considering that you’re highly trained special agent?Do you take a knife or a pair of scissors to cut fragile zip-ties? No, you take a thermoflask and try to break pretty sturdy looking handle with it. Oh, and everything around is on fire, but you’re fine.

There’s not many scenes like that here, but they absolutely spoil the fun of watching this series that beside that would be pretty fine story about smaller or bigger problems in various relationships. Because besides obvious main couple we have at least two more couples that would be very interesting only if we het a bit more time to get to know them.
So I’d say that this is pretty average drama with good idea that was somewhat wasted since so enough attention was paid to it and viewer get just more of side plots that were rather bland. There is nothing in particular that I’ve liked or disliked that much. I think that it was just one of those dramas that don’t leave any particular feeling after finishing it.

A unique Rom Com

Overall this was really a great Rom Com which healed me. This drama was not the best however to be honest for a small budget project, the production was really great. The staff and the cast really did amazing job for this drama.

Things I loved :
- Short and sweet.
- The story was unique and refreshing
- The acting was good and they played their characters really well

Things I disliked :
- It was really obvious that last two episode was rushed. If I heard it correct this was supposed to be a 12 episode drama
- The last episode story was really poorly done.
