Agora Terminamos (2021)

Do I have Alzheimer's if I don't remember what happened until now?

To answer: No, it's just that nothing happened.
I was very excited about this drama and, as I liked Jang Ki Yong, I hoped I won't mind the existence of Song Hye Kyo as a main character, since after watching her act in a drama made me avoid every single one that she ever acted on again. To be honest, I'll have to admit that JKY isn't any better in acting (he acts the same as a cheating boyfriend, son of a murderer, killer etc) but somehow his charisma makes it more bearable.
This being said, you can imagine what happens if you pair them: you try to cover a disappointing storyline with good looks. For some viewers that is enough but I'm sorry that not for me.
For only 2 episodes a week, you'd say you can watch them and not get bored but, after really trying, I couldn't. I stopped mid episode to write this review (I'm curios in a few months, when people will have access to all the episodes, if the percentage of people that dropped it will increase)
Nothing really happens, there is no central conflict (for real, I mean. They tried to come up with one but it is and isn't there), it feels like they're dragging the episodes so they can reach the end. Also, you can figure out the plot by yourself after watching 2 episodes.
One last thing that I want to say is that the "one night stand" kind of a situation is overly used to cover up a bad drama and it's beggining to be a clichee (the new post accident amnesia)
Life is short guys, watch a good drama.

Don't waste your time. Please!

This drama waste a waste of my time and energy. The plotline really sucks, I felt like I was watching a production by an independent director and amateur writer. Don't know what the writer was envisioning writing this nonsense, However the actors tried their very best to deliver. Plot wise, this was not it for me and in my opinion can be marked as a overhyped, overrated drama.

If, However you want to support your favorite actors/ess you can as a dedicated fan/supporter. One more thing too add the synopsis talked about not being a fairy tail, ha! This drama was definitely a round about fairy tail.

Such.a.mess.

OVERALL
This drama is the biggest false advertisement I've ever seen in a Kdrama, and the worst thing is, I'm pretty sure it wasn't intentional. Watch it if you're very bored and very desperate, with no better alternative in sight. In any other case, skip.

THE STORY
I wasn't particularly into this drama based on the synopsis so I waited a long time to give it a try. When I finally did, the first episode intrigued me. It looked like it was going to be a serious, mature romance story, following two people who don't believe in long-term relationships. That's totally NOT what the drama turned out to be about. It ended up being a very classic, very tedious melodrama about two people with a bad kind of past connection who fall in love but face a whole bunch of opposition. And even then, I give it more credit than I should, because the drama tends to forget what it's about, especially in the few last episodes. Basically, it's a hot mess.

Besides an unclear plot, the problem of this drama is that there's really not much to make you care about it. After 4-5 episodes the show stops trying to sell the romance so it just falls flat. There's no cuteness, no deep emotions, no skinship, NOTHING. In the melodrama department, you're served every single cliché melodrama trope, but most of them end up not really resolved properly so it all feels like a waste of time. And the characters are poorly written, with zero development, so you don't care much about them either. And towards the end, they start making decisions that don't make sense at all, especially Yeong Eun. Like I said, a hot mess. Do yourself a favor, skip.

THE ACTING
Good, but that's not enough to save this drama. No chemistry between the leads though.

THE MUSIC
Ok, so here I have to give the drama props just because of the song "Stay" by Car, The Garden, which I fell in love with. But now that you know about it, you can just go ahead and Spotify it, and save yourself the trouble of watching the drama. You're welcome!

REWATCH VALUE
Null.

A drama is someone's soul in which they have invested their passion in, ( my opinion)

I won't say weather the actors didn't have good chemistry or they acted nicely, but what i will say is that this drama touched my heart, not the love or fate between the actors but rather their fears, uncertainties and regrets, and i assure you watching this may just make you feel like, life is short; let's be reckless :)

K dramas are not meant to be realistic, but of all I have watched this makes me feel the heartache and self doubt the most.
the actors might not have shown enough love but they performed the rest of their roles wonderfully, the desire, regret, instability and passion were all crystal clear.

As a drama idk if its good or not but as a work of art that resonates with me, i have to say its amazing.

WTF was that?!

Disclaimer - massive Song and Jang’s fan. However!
WTF was that - I can swear the story each episode have the same back bone - reminiscence, some very artificial urgency in the company, followed by some small drama, his dead brother gf fit, followed by his mum or her mum fit, back to the couple, and the episodes generally finish with them reminiscence.

The story doesn’t have any warmth for me. Mature romance have more, if not less, strength, in this drama all this was lost. The story kept weaving and shifting not being able to find its path.

And, this must be the worst Song’s performance so far - I was ready to forgive her in the first few episodes, but it never improved. I didn’t feel any chemistry between the two - the magazine photo shoots they did have more charm than the 12 episodes I watched.
Was Jang intimidated by Song? It felt to me like he is holding back..acting is definitely the art of acting off someone and Song didn’t give him much to work with.

However, not all is lost - the story of Hwang Chi Sook was so well told, Kim Jojo Heon and Choi Hee Seo did a fantastic job:-) I’m dragging ep12, because I lost any desire to watch it, more of the same...shame really, as it’s visually beautifully shot (clothing, styling), even the OST is okay..

Such a shame!

It made me fall in love and then broke my heart just like my ex/ Only one time watch type of a drama

Well, this drama started great.
Loved the first few episodes and I was so hyped for the rest. I couldn't wait for it to air. But, then as the episodes went by, my interest sank lower and lower. I have no idea if my expectation were to high or the drama was getting boring and predictable.
Considering that now we are half way through, I think I can share my opinion on this drama.

LOVED that this was no love story of teens, but more mature one, and the story was quite intriguing. The actors are stunning and I really like the couples. The side characters are alright. As I said, as the story went on, I could've easily guess where it was heading. The stupid writing sometimes was just too predictable. It's been a while since we had a drama revolving around the fashion world and I really liked that. At the beginning I literally feel in love with the story but then It just broke my heart just like my ex. Meaning that you'll get easily hooked and then after a while you'll get disappointed.
That's how I felt with this drama, great start but somehow we are getting to a weak ending. It just lost me.
Again great actors and all but very weak writing at some points. Not gonna spoil the story because I never do in any of my reviews but it just left me disappointed. I will finish this one and probably never watch it again. Not worth it really

Total disappointment as I had high expectations

Bad acting, bad story, bad FL casting.
Feel cheated as had high expectations for a romantic drama with sizzling chemistry and a good storyline from the screenwriter known for sweet slow dramas.
First the storyline lacked logic and characterisations not done well. Especially the FL wasting 10years on a fling she had abroad for just two months and all people around acting mad around it that too after 10 years.
Should have had better cast. Zero chemistry between main leads. Song Hye Kyo couldn’t do justice to the role.
Jang ki Yong was the only saving grace.

Wasted chemistry o a terrible story

I'm getting fed up with with Song Hye Kyo always playing the stoic blank face girl boss who can't catch a break, her life is work and pain. She plays it well and I usually love her series, but it's just too much at this point. They did not do her justice with the hair styling, makeup or wardrobe, it's like they wanted to turn her into an ajumma.

She had a lot of chemistry with JKY, but it was killed over and over by the melodrama. Such a waste. God, the amount of deus ex machina, coincidences, lies, trauma was so too over the top even for a Kdrama, it felt more like one of those Turkish telenovelas my mom watches.

Why is it so often that when we get a noona romance things have to turn so melodramatic and forced? Just because the FL is 40 and the ML is younger it doesn't mean you have to kill the passion and at least occasional fun. I just wanted to see more of the FL and ML's relationship and them being happy and we got so much screentime of work stuff and secondary characters I couldn't care less about.

In love with Jang Ki-yong but not with Yoon Jae Gook

I watched this entire series just for Jang Ki-Yong. I fell in love with his smile in My Roomate is Gumiho and the chemistry he had with female lead in MRIG... but I was in for shock when I saw the first episode .. especially the love making scene... compare it with the My Roomate is Gumiho love making scene.. There was so much of chemistry between the actors in MRIG but in Now am breaking up there was not even an ounce of chemistry between the actors.. Don't even get me started with the storyline and female lead's character. I got so annoyed with her. What did the male lead see in her to be so attracted to her and fall in love with her. At all points I felt bad for male lead as he was trying to do everything to save the relationship but she was trying to find all the excuses to break up with him.
If you want to waste you time and energy watch this... sometimes if the main leads were replaced it would have worked a bit ... dont know ... we will never know...

May be they should have casted someone who can act and show some expressions. It's about time to encourage new talent rather than running after veterans who have shown zero variation in characters they have chosen.

Also i dont understand why they chose an younger looking male lead when the story doesn't demand so!.

Couldn't even watch past 4 episodes.

Don't even get me started on the French lines 😐. If the actors can't even say a few lines in a foreign language i dont know what kind of commitment/dedication they are showing to their work.
