Agora Terminamos (2021)

So I wasted 16 hours of my precious life for this disappointment of a drama? Yes, I purely watched this because of JKY as I've known him since Come and Hug Me, Search WWW and Kill It, but even his good looks couldn't save this drama. As I'm talking about him, let's start about his character. First of all his acting felt robotic to me in this drama, and I have to say even he's not a GREAT actor, but I like his acting to a certain point. But here, no. Nope.

Let's not talk about SHK. Like i don't even expect anything from her anymore. The only drama I like of her is DOTS. And even that is mainly because of Song Joong Ki. I don't like her acting, and the characters she plays are boring.

Let's talk about the side characters. I liked the story of HCS and SDH, the second leads. I think almost everyone here will agree with me, their story n chemistry was better than the main leads. And SYJ, Jae Gukcs ex sis-in-law, man she was frustrating. Like bro, your fiancee is cheating on you, and she woman he's with doesn't even know about your existence, how'd it her fault that he died. And I disliked how she mixed personal and professional things.

I absolutely loved Sehun. I'm not an EXO-L, but I like them. And watching Sehun calling Ha Young nuna nuna was cute. I know this is not his first drama as he was a main lead of a 3 episode mini drama. His screen time was not so much, but i enjoyed watching him on the screen. And I liked that him and his sunbae ( that girl ) got together at the end.

Let's not go towards the story. I've given it 1 cuz there wasn't any lesser option. I can't believe myself that i stuck to this one. God my head hurts. And I don't even waste my time writing this review, but i wanted to express my disappointment and guys, if you're here reading reviews before starting this show, please, don't watch this drama. You'll thank me and all those people who have written here. Don't waste your time.

Boring and unsatisfying

Whenever I am choosing a drama to watch, since there so many to choose from, I usually wait until the drama has finished and read the reviews. But I really like the two leads so decided to watch it after the first four episodes had aired. I should have really stuck with my tried and true method.

This drama firstly commits one of the worst possible sins a drama can commit, its boring. Yes it is slow. Slow is fine, but boring is not. Dramas can be slow and interesting, but not this one.

Then it commits what I personally consider the worst sin. A very unsatisfying ending. After the 16 hours I have invested in this drama I don’t want to feel like I wasted my time and could have watched something better. Unfortunately that is what I felt here.

I love Song Hye Kyo. I think she is overall a great actress. But she commits two sins here for a romantic drama. Firstly, just like in Encounter, she has zero chemistry here with the ML. It is hard to believe that she even likes the ML, never mind being in love. Then secondly, she is so emotionless. My refrigerator has more heat than this romance seemed to have. Yes I may be exaggerating, but not by much.

When the secondary characters are CONSIDERABLY more interesting than the ML and FL, you know you are in trouble. Even they cannot save this one.

I have never hated so many characters in a show.

I am usually very kind while giving ratings to a drama. But I just can't with drama. So this is probably gonna be my meanest review ever. I don't know why I am even keen on completing this drama. Maybe if I can survive watching this drama then I can probably survive anything out in the world. It feels that I have aged many years while watching this drama. It is only a 16 episode drama but those 16 episodes are feeling like an eternity.

So first lets talk about the story. The drama actually started pretty well according to me and went well for the first 3-4 episodes after which it just kept going downhill and unbearable to watch. They were doing the same shit every episode. Everyone trying to break the ML and the FL who were keen on fighting them head on. Just like me who was fighting with myself to watch this show even though I shouldn't have.

Now lets talk about the most annoying characters on the show :

Kang Jeong Ja : Man I have never hated a character so much in my entire life. Even though she is not an evil character on the show. My eyes and ears bled a litre of blood whenever she appeared on the screen or spoke anything. Ha Taek Soo definitely deserves a medal for keeping up with such a person for more than 40+ years. I just can't get why it was her who was bend on asking for the divorce when it should have been her husband who should be asking for the divorce for keeping up with her.

Shin Yoo Jung: This obsessed and vile person also kept irritating me all throughout the show. As she just couldn't get over her fiance who cheated on her. And now she can't bring herself to see the girl her fiance cheated with(Ha young Eun) to be happy with another person.

Moon Joo Yeon: I just don't get why Ha Young Eun even has such a person under her team, She should have been fired long ago.
This person thinks only about herself and doesn't gives a fuck about anyone else. She cheated and betrayed not once but twice. And was still shown as a good character.

Min Hye Ok: Another obsessed person who can't get over her dead child.

Jeon Mi Suk: Even though I find it sad that she was dying but still she was very annoying to watch

Hwang Chi Sook: I found her character pretty interesting at the start of the drama. But she keeps crying that nobody respects her and all. And also she doesn't trust the one man who loves her. Even though Ha Young Eun even believed Seok Do Hoon.

To round it up I don't like anyone in this show except for Representative Hwang , Seok Do Hoon and a little bit of Jeong So Young. I didn't felt much of a chemistry between the 2 leads and they also started getting under my veins as the story moves on even though they didn't do much wrong.

So if you are thinking of watching this drama just because the ML and the FL are pretty , all the best to you my friend.

Sometimes It's Best to Let It Go

I found this drama meaningful and deep. I can understand the fact that this is not everyone's cup of tea but for me it was perfect. I loved every second of it, I loved the fact that everything was happening slow and so many quotes made me think of my life that was it worth it to live like this or should I change my way of living.
When this drama started I also found love and when their relationship ended mine also ended, so I found so many similarites with my life. The fact that we can talk about so many things but we just can't because just because we talk doesn't mean the ending can change.
This drama shows sometimes we just try so much to hold on but there are something we need to let it go.
I know that it can be boring for many people because every subject in the series is handled in a very deep and mature way. But if you want to watch a slow-breathed, deep series where you can make sense of every word, I think you should take a look.
When a person feels too much, after a while he starts not being able to feel anything or starts talking with his eyes, not reflecting what he feels.
The pain of the protagonists was evident in their eyes, they could only show many things with their eyes without expressing them with words. I think that was very impressive. I think the depth of their love and the value they gave to each other was very beautiful.
People are so accustomed to making sacrifices for someone and giving up on themselves that it may seem selfish to us to see someone living for themselves. However, the normal thing is to be able to live for ourselves and not give up on ourselves for someone else.
Someone always enters and leaves our lives, this cycle will always be like this, the important thing is to take care of ourselves.
Even when we lose ourselves, we have the courage to find ourselves again.
We think that we have lost our love when the person we love leaves our lives, but in fact, love is a feeling that is inside us, so it is still inside us. This feeling is not just about the other party, so we can feel it without it.
I hope this drama will be a hope for people to have the courage to be themselves.

Don't waste your time

I don't normally rate dramas lover than a 5 because I simply don't even start dramas that seem off or I drop them after a few episodes. I wanted to give this drama a chance for the sake of the leads. I liked Song Hye Kyo in DOTS but I can't even believe this is the same actress. Her acting is so stiff and she has zero expressions throughout the whole drama. Jang Ki Yong was amazing in Kill It and I loved that drama, but my goodness this one was a hard miss. Idk what on earth did the leads think. The script is awful and stiff and emotionless. Tries so hard to be impactful but fails at it in every scene for the leads.
The only reason I wanted to finish this was for the cancer plot. My brother also has cancer and I thought I should try not to avoid such topics. Honestly, that part of this drama felt slightly comforting. The people left behind were remembering her but still trying their best to continue living.
Not really a fan of the cheating part of the plot. It felt like it was done for shock value but then I was supposed to root for the man after it because he was going to lose his wife and become a single dad. Okay at least he seemed like a good dad.
The romance between the leads was 1/10. Zero chemistry but somehow they were "in love". The only source of love being their past encounters and "fate". The insanely outdated conflict was how the parents were all against their relationship and that was somehow a huge deal.
Would never watch again.
Honestly, I'm mad at myself for finishing such a bad drama. I usually chose better.

Waste of time...Watch some other show

Just a hyped show ,If you have not started it just drop it. Boring Story, very confusing ending no chemistry with lead couple just waste of time watching this series...Fashion scenes and stills are good. Chemistry between 2nd leads is good compared to the 1st leads .Park hyo joo character is sensible in this entire series .Song hye kyo acting was very terrible..
Show lost it relevance by 6th or 7th episode only. Makers just dragged it with unnecessary stories and plot. After 9th episode the series became so so boring that i watched it by fast forwarding it.
Even though watched till the end with patience expecting some good ending between the characters . But ending of the show was very confusing ,it disappointed me.
Watch some other drama instead of wasting time in this series .
Overall very poor story writing and direction.

You don't have to break up, because it's not even worth starting at all ...

7.6 rating? It's way over-rated.
After watching 4-5 episodes, I've already thought to myself, WTF?
It makes no sense at all. Would you date your dead brother's ex girlfriend?
I get it, the brother's fiance didn't like the FL, and family didn't like her, but still, wtf?
I have to admit, it's rubbish ass script, paired with SHK's worst-ever act, I still wanted to know what happened in the end. I shouldn't have cared. Like most K-Dramas, the ending was very predictable. I should have just jumped to the last episode, and watched it at 5x speed just to see how it all ends.
I'd like to have my 16 hours of life back.
I should have broken up with this drama after 4-5 episodes, or better, not even start the series at all.
Shame on SHK for choosing such a bad script, and such a bad performance.

Pointless Torture

JKY: Was he hoping to pull off a PBG, Encounter-esque drama, as a farewell-fer-now ? FAIL.
- whats up with his manager? Why give him such a crappy script to consider? BUT..
- WORDS OF ENCRgMNT: "Never mind JKY, you're young and gorgeous, and talented. I wont remember you for this!" "NWBU - BE GONE from my mind!" PHFT!
- The right project and the right female lead and cast will put him right back on track, as soon as he gets back!

SHK:. - Girl your acting coach LieS. to. you! Change up. Do something.
- Hire a face massuer, loosen up those cheek muscles daily.
- How about playing a mean 마마/MAMA in a Saguek? 100%
***
This is an easy drama to review. - Save yourself, and your precious time, SKIP this or have BIG regret like we did, OR watch and suffer, like...

Best words to describe the MC: Empty, hollow, devoid of emotion, Devoid of chemistry, Devoid of passion, devoid of warmth, DEVOID periodt.

Best words to describe the story and writing: Half baked, forced, pretentious, boring, stiff, poor.

How I ttruly feel about this drama in 2 words:. Disappointed, Sorry.

Finally,
I Feel bad JKY had to finish this drama...y'know ..."Contracts 'n all" ..well at least I hope, thats how he felt inside. Pretty sure he knew there was no chemistry. Its SO obvious. CASTING! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

2.5/10. The drama thumbnail was well done.

This drama is not for people who loves fluffy romance

Our lives isnt as interesting as crash landing nor wholesome like playfull kiss. I have been watching kdramas for the last 15 years. And for almost 10 years for cdrama. Melodramas typically have this mellow, slow and dramatic vibes. If youre into a romcom or pure romance theme this type of drama isnt for you.

This drama is boring for some because this is life. Life is boring to be honest. Love stories isnt all about happiness and blush. Think about your life your friends is it as interesting as a kdrama. We are always looking for something interesting and vibe thats why alot are trapped on that kdrama world as well.

I personally like this drama because its relatable. I like dramas that I can relate. I dont deny that I dont like romcom because its my pill during my down moments.

Acting? That is what the script is looking for? What would you expect for a typical korean woman who is almost 40 years old. With stressful environment? To act as if they are happy lively whatsover? Family, work, friendship issues. I almost got too depressed because of work problems and my family. I doubt if you have the nerve to do so if youre on here shoes.

I gave 9 because there is always an opportunity for every fictional story.

Understand what youre watching and dont watch those steamy scenes….

The title of the drama is very misleading.

" Now, We Are Breaking Up ", the first thing that pops up in my head is the story is about a breakup between the main couple.

In truth, it's not. It talks about various types of breakups, whether it is between a couple, a mother and daughter, husband and wife, various other relationships, and even life and carrier.

Daaamn, but can we talk about how depressed Song Hye Kyo is in the drama???!! idk in both this and her last drama "encounter", her character is a very depressing woman, who is in forbidden love. like wth??!! The drama is supposed to be motivating, instead, it's VERY depressing to watch.

In short, I wouldn't recommend anyone to watch it

Valuable Lessons

I truly think this is not your standard show. If you're into shows that are lighthearted, this really isn't for you. It seems like nothing happens if you look at the surface but you really need to be able to dig deeper and connect with the emotions the characters are portraying. I honestly learned a LOT about letting go, how life can flow, mending relationships, complexities of relationships, and different forms of love. I won't be rewatching this show- I can't rewatch anything I've watched actually- but it will be a show I come back to when I'm faced with tough emotional situations. It's a lot about putting yourself first and even though emotions are involved, making the right decision.

I also love the title, and it's honestly how most relationships work. There's very few that will last throughout your life. So technically, those relationships you have that you know will fade after some time, you're breaking up. Isn't it a wonderful new perspective? I feel like this will help me become less overly attached to people and to accept life's flow more. Some dramas have really showed and taught me a lot about life and have widened my perspective and I include this drama in one that will be influential in how I see life.

It's a slice of life drama that has that more emotional and sentimental note because this literally could be out of someone's life. People have all sorts of things going on but events don't always rush in, and so the pacing of this show is something I find realistic. If you're looking for a show that really needs to tell you something you need to hear, this is it. Most people who leave really low reviews most probably didn't see this side of the show. Please don't use their reviews to avoid this show. It is worth it.

I don't really leave reviews but seeing the tons of reviews that were negative I really felt like I needed to offer perspective so the show doesn't get a bad rap for nothing.

Sure cure for insomnia!

Oh my gosh, what an absolute waste of time!!

SCRIPT: The dialogue is stilted, there is nothing happening throughout the whole show, there are numerous unlikeable characters (including the two leads, unfortunately), I didn't care if they were breaking up because I don't know why they were together in the first place, the "villain" just made no sense and I felt that they put her in there because every show has to have a villain, doesn't it? And the ending made me want to throw something at the tv. I LITERALLY said, "That's time I'll never get back!" The way the main characters were written was really bad. I was looking forward to seeing Jang Ki Yong - they did put some great clothes on him, but he was a very unlikeable (borderline creepy) character. Call me crazy, but falling in love with your dead brother's girlfriend is just not right. There was something kind of obsessive about him. And her? Just so many things. You're a complete witch to this guy, going on and on about how important your career is, and you let people walk all over you? You have a one-night stand with a random guy and when he approaches you later, you're mad at him?

ACTING: Jang Ki Yong. I loved him in My Roommate is a Gumiho, and his acting in Born Again was amazing. In this show he had no expression throughout most of the show. I kind of felt that he even knew the script was bad, and wasn't making much of an effort. Song Hye Kyo - is she the same in absolutely everything she is in? Speaking of no expression - her face always had the same expression, as did her voice. When I watch her, I always think that maybe she doesn't smile because she doesn't want to wrinkle or something. I think the lack of emotion she displays when she acts contributes to you not liking the characters she portrays. I've never watched a show where there is so much staring going on. Staring into space, staring at each other, staring at a door.

CHEMISTRY: None.

REWATCH VALUE: Not on a dare!
