100% Era (2021)

Uau. Fiquei bastante impressionada com a qualidade do roteiro e a atuação destes jovens atores e mais impressionada ainda com a perfeição da escalação dos atores mirins, especialmente o ator que faz o protagonista masculino criança. Ele era a cara do ator que fez a versão adolescente. Realmente parecia a versão dele crescida.

O enredo do drama tem uma energia meio distopia e se passa num futuro próximo (2037) e projeta o que poderia ser do mundo pós-pandemia. Acompanhamos a história de dois jovens que nasceram na época do covid e entraram na escola tardiamente tendo passado grande parte da vida interagindo com as pessoas virtualmente. A escola que frequentam, apesar de presencial, torna as interações sociais supérfluas. Os alunos estudam na mesma sala mas só interagem com seus dispositivos digitais. Parece que de alguma forma a humanidade desaprendeu a interagir socialmente. Mas de alguma forma esses dois alunos, nossos protagonistas, passam a interagir um com o outro através da leitura de mangás enquanto se escondem da aula de Educação Física. Eventualmente eles são descobertos e cortam os laços de amizades, voltando a interagir somente no ensino médio.

Esse retorno da amizade se transforma amor e os dois desenvolvem uma relação ao mesmo tempo que cuidam de um gatinho de rua que eles abrigam na biblioteca do colégio. Aqui devo parabenizar os atores, pois eles foram perfeitos em interpretar toda a tensão entre os dois. Realmente dava pra sentir todo o sentimento acumulado ao longo dos anos e que eles finalmente começam a colocar para fora. Fiquei bem surpresa com a cena de beijo, um beijo bem ousado para um drama escolar, talvez por ser um webdrama eles tiveram mais liberdade para expressar a relação daqueles adolescentes e pareceu bem real.

O final foi um tanto caótico, mas acho que também conseguiu passar uma mensagem interessante. Quando a mãe briga com a filha e ela volta a escola e lá encontra o gato (que no episódio anterior ela quase maltratou), ela sente uma identificação com a mãe dela na criação de um filho e entende que de alguma forma ela também precisa assumir a própria vida. Os pais sempre querem o que eles pensam ser o melhor para os filhos, ou que eles alcancem algo que eles não conseguiram, só que isso acaba aprisionando os filhos porque tira deles a oportunidade de escolher e definir seus caminhos. Mãe e filha conseguem se entender e tudo fica bem entre elas.

Minha única ressalva é quanto ao final dos adolescentes, na cena do trem eu gostaria de ter visto o rosto dele, não apenas ouvido a voz. Queria ter certeza de era ele lá ao lado dela indo fazer o caminho deles juntos como adultos. Se eu tivesse visto o rosto teria sido um final perfeito.

Esse foi mais um drama que fui atrás por causa de um corte de uma cena que vi nas redes sociais. Que bom que fui atrás porque encontrei uma pequena joia perdida. Recomendo!

Interesting drama!

There’s another reviewer who said this drama stood out to them.

HELL YEAH IT DID.

I loved it! Until the end ... Lol we’ll get to that —
This webdrama literally felt like a dystopian story and that’s one of the main reasons I loved it, it had futuristic elements that honestly I could see happening, it wasn’t so far off the unrelatable train either, the main couple were interesting, there were some twists and turns (including an almost assault scene that imo .. didn’t really need to happen, idk why the writers threw it in there *eyeroll*), pretty much this mini-drama kept me interested till the very end ...
Till the very end ... The ML literally just ... disappears and no joke, that’s the last time we see him lol, it was kind of awkward actually, I don’t know if the actor irl had scheduling conflicts or what happened, but it was just sudden he left and the story could’ve been way better if he stayed :/ the writers missed the ball on this one, and the end felt flat because of it, anticlimactic, but overall, this was an enjoyable drama and the child actors in the first couple episodes really shined! I’d definitely recommend this drama to someone who’s looking for “short and sweet” :’)

interesting and well-executed

This webdrama stood out to me because not only it imagines possible future but also shows less sugar coated version of teen life. A lot of webdramas take place in school setting, however the story can be a hit or miss. Here the school setting is crucial to the story, and it's not just a background.

The story was surprisingly full of twists and turns, and I couldn't really predict the direction it would go. It's almost as if the channel 찐엔딩 wants to make less obvious stories their trademark? All their past webdramas would leave the viewer scratching their head.

All main characters were well-fleshed out and had their own obstacles to go through. I liked the acting, I have no complaints. Both leads had good chemistry and that worked well to make their characters' dynamics believeable. Heejae is not a typical webdrama character to me, I liked that she had obvious flaws. Sidae's character was similar to what the actor played before but at the same time, he does a great job each time so I don't mind. Heejae's mom is a very polarizing character, at one hand she is very hard on her daughter, but at the same time she has her reasons.

I really liked the music. Shin Jihoon is a very underrated singer, and I'm glad to hear her music so prominently featured. The songs really suited this webdrama and elevated the mood.
Another notable thing is cinematography. There is no oversaturation or weird filter, everything looks realistic. The colour grading is well-done, everything is cohesive. The school rooms seem to be cold, but the little corner our leads make is warm. I liked this attention to detail.


Overall, this is a webdrama worth watching. To me, the story was engrossing enough that I couldn't wait for new episode every week. It's not fast paced so it might not be for everyone, but I still enjoyed it a lot. It's not easy to imagine the future and make it believeable. I command the cast and crew for making such thought provoking webdrama.

Good Enough

Korean Webdrama "100% Era" tries to present an ambitious for a short drama theme, and it succeeds masterfully. The atmosphere was on point and it was just like watching a western dystopian movie, with the right amount of mystery, suspense, thriller, and drama.

The story starts smoothly, with the drama introducing the current situation and the two characters, the main female lead and her mother, whose relationship is one of the central themes of the drama. Therefore, it was nicely built, with the right pacing and intensity.

The drama also narrates the story of the two friends who discover what is really important in life. The romance was cute, dramatic sometimes, but with some sweet moments too. However, the ending of the drama was lukewarm, as it felt less compared to the rest of the story.

As for the performances, everyone did a great job with their character, but the leading lady was especially enjoyable.

Finally, the presentation of the story was masterfully done. The pace was just right, the dystopian theme was nicely handled and the settings were perfect.

So, overall, 8 out of 10.

It is all that you're curious about

Well, when I first read the heading, I did not know what I was in for. It’s absolutely different from what I had thought. Living during pandemic is harsh enough but what would happen post pandemic. How would our daily lives be affected? How will the relationships differ from now? These questions are answered in this web drama.

This story shows us the impending reality. A world with no barriers, yet controlled by walls around the heart. It’s a world where I’d never want to be (Truly a nightmare land). They still find love, friendship and happiness despite the stringent conditions. It shows the relationships between two young kids and that of the parent and her child. Even though it’s a post-pandemic story, some elements remain same (Like exam stress and loneliness). It depicts the emotional condition of the major characters beautifully. Wonderfully put and unfolded. It’s a nice story. I would call it a one-time watch but it was surely worth the time.

The 100% ERA Korean Drama was one of the best K-Dramas I watched so far despite having very few episodes (8 Episodes). I liked the Actress Lee Soo Min so much and the Actor Kim Sung Hyun too. Their acting in the 100% ERA was very good. The Story was amazing because it talked about how two kids being in a very tough school in Korean Academy and how Baek Hee Jae's Mother always wants Baek Hee Jae (Lee Soo Min) to get very good grades (100% every time) in Korean Academy School.

I liked how Baek Hee Jae (Lee Soo Min) and Lee Shi Due (Kim Sung Hyun) were getting along very well in Middle School and High School and I liked their relationship in School. I also liked how they bond very emotional and quickly while taking care of cute cat that they found for days while in School and that they have to take care of it like it was their own cat.

The Story also talks about the difficulties in the School and that Lee Shi Due got expelled due to the cat problem and Baek Hee Jae had to stay alone when he was gone and how she confronted her mother about all the difficulties she had when her mother wasn't really caring for her like a real daughter. The Episodes 1-8 were really good and the music was also perfect that it made me so relaxed, but the ending was bad because we didn't get to see Lee Shi Due at the ending when Baek Hee Jae smiled on the train.

But overall the 100% ERA was one of the best K-Dramas I've watched so far in my life. It was so good that I wished there was a season 2 for this.
