Clima do Amor (2022)

Clima de amor (teve clima (do tempo) mas faltou o amor)

em minha opinião, o enredo deixou muito a desejar, senti falta de episódios que deixam aquele gostinho de quero mais, aqueles suspenses e expetativas de ver o que irá acontecer nos demais episódios que estavam por vir, teve dias que demorei para assistir porque não tinham vontade de ver. Acho que eles focaram demais nas cenas que tinham que descrever a previsão do tempo e esqueceram das demais historias.


Gostei da atuação do Song Kang e do Yoon Park , porém senti falta nos demais, acabou prejudicando um pouco também a qualidade dos episódios por falta dessa química dos personagens..

Drama na medida certa

gostei desde o primeiro episódio, muito criativa a forma como foi construída a narrativa com muita engenhosidade, exatamente o tipo de clima ou previsão de tempo que seria tratada em cada episódio era também uma metáfora de como seriam as tretas nos relacionamentos da história. O casal principal foi bem harmonioso e achei muito boa a química entre eles, aliás a atriz protagonista sempre tem excelente química com todos os lindos Oppas com quem contracena, ela é excelente atriz. Com 36 anos com segue fazer par com um ator de 28 parecendo na mesma idade.
O dorama nos dá ótimas lições de vida, todas extraídas das situações climáticas e das condições do tempo, porque a nossa vida é assim também, um dia faz Sol, noutro chove, tem dias de tufão e terremotos e dias com neve, porque todas estas estações são necessárias para nosso aprimoramento e aprendizagem nessa vida.
A maior lição vem no final, quando o Dorama nos dá sua maior lição, que a vida não tem respostas prontas, mas somos nós com nossas decisões que encontramos as respostas para o Amanhã. Super recomendo, é um drama para almas sensíveis, quem gosta de ação ou só romance, pode achar a história parada ou chata, com cenas maçantes, mas quem tem alma para entender mensagens subliminares e os verdadeiros valores que devemos cultiva na vida vai me entender e gosta desse drama, por certo.

Clima do Amor ou Clima do Tédio?

Infelizmente este enredo foi uma grande decepção pra mim. Para não ser injusta, eu gostei dos dois primeiros episódios, e nesta época a história parecia ser promissora. Mas com o passar das semanas, tudo o que nos entregaram, foi um dorama chato, um roteiro que fica em um eterno looping, com pouquíssimas novidades, casais sem brilho e de uma previsibilidade imensa. O elenco é bom (eu amo o Song Kang, por exemplo). Mas nem a presença dele conseguiu salvar a história. Achei a personagem da Park Min Young extremamente apática (entendo que o intuito era trazer o oposto do personagem do Song Kang), mas para mim, não funcionou! E, com passar o tempo, aquela química que percebi entre eles nos primeiros episódios, foi sumindo até desaparecer de vez. O enredo dos outros personagens também quase não trouxeram nada de novo, eram pouco atrativos, incluindo o casal secundário. As cenas no local de trabalho deles eram especialmente maçantes. Gostaria que tivessem dosado um pouco melhor, assim não ficaria tão cansativo.

E o final, salvou?

É... Sem surpresas por aqui também. Usaram aquela velha tática de fazer o casal de protagonistas se resolverem faltando 20 minutos para acabar o drama. Veja bem, quando o roteiro é bom, até esse clichezão funciona, mas em um enredo que já era fraco e previsível, deixou a desejar também.

? Eu recomendaria?

Não! Especialmente se você procura um drama com um romance incrível, diferenciado e prazeroso de assistir. Se eu pudesse fazer uma analogia com o tempo, diria que no 'Clima do Amor', venceu a previsibilidade, onde inicialmente um tímido sol apareceu, prometendo um lindo dia, para depois se esconder atrás de nuvens cinzentas e assim permanecer até a chegada do anoitececer.

Forecasting Happy Cheating SML and SFL Couple and Struggling ML and FL Relationship

WTF did I just watch?

I watched this only because it was something to watch weekly over the weekend and I did like it at the beginning until I just didn't like it the more it dragged on. I continued to watch it hoping for more "falling-in-love moments" between the ML and the FL but instead, they just fell apart only to get together in the last episode. Even their "happy" moments were overshadowed by the jealous SML.

So major spoilers ahead:

To recap, the FL starts off engaged to the SML. They've been together for 10 years. After the FL's family and herself start finding out that he doesn't go through on putting deposits down for the wedding venue and other bookings, the FL literally catches him in the act in their own bed in their shared apartment with another woman, the SFL. Keep in mind that the FL, SML, and SFL all work in the same building.

Now the SFL was also in a relationship with the ML and she was living with him before abruptly moving out and breaking up with the ML, leaving with no real explanation. Because of course, she cheated on him and left him for another man, the SML.

Later, the SML and SFL, in other words, the two cheating mofos get happily married.

The leftovers, ML and FL, end up meeting and as it turns out, the ML gets transferred to the FL's department. Now all of them work in the same building. So the FL becomes the boss of the ML. Of course, they eventually find out that their cheating exes are the happily married ones. Regardless, they get together after having a drunken one night stand.

Get all that?

Here are some dumb scenes I also hated:

-Okay, so the storyline is basically about FL and ML trying to hide their relationship from work only to get it exposed by the most unlikely character. Another co-worker basically exposes their relationship out loud in a busy cafeteria, which was completely out of character for this co-worker to do something like that. So tactless too. Who does that in a busy, crowded cafeteria? So dumbass. And by the time it's exposed that they're dating, they've actually broken up. So first they hide their relationship and then they hide their break-up.

-The SML and SFL trying to navigate married life. When the SML finds out his ex is dating his new wife's ex, there's all this stupid jealousy that goes on for naught.

-They romanticize the cheating couple who ended up married. Too much focus on their problems and their "happy" ending.

-When they wrote the FL's character becoming friends with her ex, I felt like it downplayed the hurt and betrayal she went through. Wayyyy too soon. Sure she was "strong" about it but that doesn't mean she still had to coddle her ex which she did, writing articles for him and listening to him. Where are her pride and dignity? They make the FL and the SML like best friends in the end. WTF. Whoever wrote this storyline has never been betrayed or dumped so ungraciously as the FL was and it was worse because they all worked in the same building so they ran into each other often. ANDDDD... (major spoiler), no woman in their right mind is going to listen to their ex's new baby's heartbeat so happily. W...T...F...

-At one point, the FL gets accosted by a senior male co-worker in front of everyone. He never apologizes for his blatant assault even though there were multiple witnesses. Blames everyone but himself. Is this a norm in Korean workplaces? Do women often get physically assaulted in their workplace by seniors who have the same position? If so, ugh. So disrespectful.

-The ML's father should've been in jail. But somehow, he doesn't go to jail later. Whatevs. Give the ML a happy relationship with his dad.

-The office gossip is so unprofessional. Nasty actually.

-I didn't care for any of the other characters' stories. Boring.

-What OST? Barely memorable.

Okay, I really had high hopes because I love Park Min Young and SK but I blame the writers. Sorry, but I won't be rewatching this nor do I recommend it. I actually liked the weather stuff in it but that's really all.

Started well, but went downhill after that...

First few episodes had a good pace and lots happening. We see FL catching her fiancé having an affair, she calls off the wedding. But because they work in the same place, they still see each other. You get scenes where she’s telling him off for not only cheating on her, but scamming her for money as well!!

The ML also gets dumped by his gf, who happens to be the person who is having the affair with the FL’s ex fiancé! And guess what? The two cheaters actually get married!! Also in the first few episodes, the FL and ML have a fling, which eventually becomes a relationship.. which is great! However, after they get together, things seem to change in their relationship dynamics. You don’t see much chemistry or PDA or much development in their relationship. It gets quite dull and boring.

The exes are annoying as hell, after getting married they realise they are having problems, arguing a lot... and the most annoying thing is, when they argue, they run back to their exes (yes the FL and ML) for comfort and advice!! It’s beyond ridiculous. What kind of foursome dynamics is this???!!!

Sigh... this one had so much potential. Pretty disappointed with the how it’s turning out.. but will finish it since it’s only two episodes left. :(

Update: The last two episodes were boring unfortunately... :( and the ending hug and kiss from Song Kang and Park Min Young lacked any sort of chemistry or passion :(:( (sorry! )

How Song Kang and Park Min Young’s Latest Drama Failed To Break The Ice…

‘
Unsurprisingly from the suggestions given by its title-name, ‘ Forecasting Love and Weather’ is one of the few K-dramas in recent memory to cover this subject field  of meteorology. With the additional talents of rising star  Song Kang ( Navillera’, ‘ Sweet Home’ and ‘ Love Alarm’) as well as  A-lister actress Park Min Young (  -‘Healer’, ‘ Her Private Life’ and ‘ What’s Wrong With Secretary Kim?’), the sixteen-episode JTBC and Netflix series has gained popular attention for its intriguing plot premise and subject area.

Nevertheless aside from an interesting premise and an impressive cast line-up, it is hard to ignore that ‘Forecasting Love and Weather’ has gained an onslaught of mixed-criticism due to its execution, lukewarm chemistry between potential love interests as well as certain screenwriting inconsistencies also.

The narrative is focused upon two polar opposite main leads; Lee Si-Woo (Song Kang) and Jin Ha-Kyung( Park Min Young). Lee Si Woo is a laidback yet prodigal meteorologist obsessed with weather patterns such as the consistency of air flow and sea fog. However, despite Lee Si-Woo’s dedication to his career, the same cannot be said about his relationship with his disengaged girlfriend Chae Yoo-jin (Girl’s Day’s Yura- ‘Secret Angel’, ‘ To The Beautiful You’ and  ‘ Radio Romance’).

Meanwhile at Seoul’s headquarters for Korean Meteorological Association, prudent and uptight deputy manager Jin Ha-Kyung, finds herself being caught in a maelstrom of anxiety and stress. An oncoming weather front has proven to be just as unpredictable as her approaching wedding day.

After Ha-Kyung discovers that her fiancé Han Ki-jun (Yoon Park- ‘ Introverted Boss’, ‘ Search’ and ‘ You Are My Spring’) has been having an affair behind her back, she is forced to call off the wedding.
Similarly Si-Woo is heartbroken when Yoo-Jin finally breaks up with him after becoming disinterested with their dates.

Yet after the storm, there is always a glimpse of sunshine and hope. As Ha-Kyung and Si-Woo attempt to juggle between their newfound situations and their careers, they soon find themselves growing closer to one another along the way.

The screenwriting for ‘Forecasting Love and Weather’ was arguably one of the most unexpected collaborations in recent years. Kang Eun-kyung  (probably best known for her screenplays for productions such as as ‘ Bread, Love and Dreams’, ‘ Dr. Romantic’  and ‘ Where Stars Land’) worked together alongside lesser-known screenwriter Sun Young(    ‘Drama Special Season 3: Like a Miracle’) in order to write the screenplay for  ‘ Forecasting Love and Weather’; a work which for all intents and purposes felt heavily domineered in style and creativity by Eun-Kyung.

Of course, it isn’t out of the question that a collaborated work can often reflect the style and characteristics of screenwriters. In particular due to the fact that Sun Young’s screenplays are respectfully limited ( and as a consequence it becomes harder to notice specific patterns), it does arguably stand to reason that Eun-Kyung’s writing quirks and traits were more noticeable than Sun Young’s.

On the other hand for those fairly familiar with Eun-Kyung’s style , then it is likely that most will notice that ‘ Forecasting Love and Weather’ possessed similar flaws and strengths of the screenwriter’s previous projects; light-hearted angst filled with romantic bravado and bubbly setups, but heavily reliant upon screenwriting tropes and bombastic character archetypes. Similar to some of her aforementioned works, ‘Forecasting Love and Weather’ felt as though it would often struggle to achieve a successfully consistent and lively tone, often disengaging viewers as a consequence.
 
This was particularly apparent with the narrative’s constantly changing focal points, especially during early episodes of the series. Rather than
focusing on a few concise points and keeping a level of consistency with the established tone and narrative, ‘Forecasting Love and Weather’ often felt uncertain with its main topics.

For example, a drama seemingly established as a heartfelt romance between two mismatched individuals, would suddenly be subverted into a topic-heavy drama surrounding mapping and warning systems, before shifting again in a different scene in order to become a melodrama surrounding heartache, infidelity, breakups and heinous exes.
 
Despite some respectfully mixed responses surrounding the casting choices of Song Kang and Park Min-Young initially, both main leads offered fairly decent performances throughout.

On the other hand , it is hard to ignore that despite the talents of both main leads, Kang and Park’s onscreen chemistry was often lukewarm.

Admittedly this isn’t entirely the fault of the actors per say. As characters, Si-Woo and Ha-Kyung were often resorted to the equivalent of carte blanches; excuses by the screenwriters in order to be shoehorned into romantic setups, misunderstandings and seemingly allow the audience to root for them from beginning to end.


In particular, main female lead Ha-Kyung has often come under scrutiny by viewers for her impassivity. This is mainly due to the fact that despite being a character who is meticulous and flawed by her uptight nature, there were few opportunities to explore Ha-Kyung as an individual in her own right . Ha-Kyung had a lot of potential to grow or at least mature through her experiences. ( Such as her breakup or her tumultuous experiences with her ex-fiancé. )However rather than giving screen time for Ha-Kyung to be explored as a character and learning self-acceptance , Ha-Kyung was resorted to the equivalent of a plot asset; necessary for driving forwards the contrived love story at the heart of the show, but rarely being presented as a sentient heroine in between.

 Admittedly these writing problems were not just applicable to Ha-Kyung. Main male lead Si-Woo was often restricted into a similar role as the “ forlorn male lead”.

Despite Si-Woo being an intelligent individual who struggles to understand empathy at times, the narrative rarely offered opportunities for Si Woo to reflect upon his breakup or actions in the past, or at least attempt to reconciliate and display an element of maturity by trying to understand his ex-girlfriend’s perspectives. ( Even if Chae Yoo-Jin’s motives were often villainous, this would’ve easily presented and allowed opportunities for viewers to comprehend Si-Woo’s struggles and journey as a character.)

Instead although some of Si-Woo’s situations could arguably be justified as being “ caught in the moment”, it seemed out of character and unjustified in a lot of situations for Si Woo to behave in this way or become actively involved in these scenarios without a greater motive. ( Aside from the case of for the “ sake of plot”.)

However this problem was not just limited to our main characters.Park and Yura’s acting was respectfully credible but the same cannot be said about their screen personas.

Indeed one of the main areas of debate with Park and Yura’s onscreen characters came through their “ villainous” roles throughout the duration of the series.

Of course it isn’t always necessarily out of the question to create despicable villains, nor is it always necessary to allow moments of moral redemption either.

However where ‘ Forecasting Love and Weather’ often fell short was how the narrative truly wanted to portray these characters. At times, the series could often lean into presenting Ki-Jun and Yoo-Jin as intrinsically hollow individuals with egocentric goals and motives. ( In particular with Ki-Jun’s megalomaniacal tendencies and Yoo-Jin’s manipulative attempts to climb up the social ladder in the workplace.) However. , the series often seemed to lean into some moments of potential “ sentience ” for these characters which while having the potential to be dynamic and meticulously written, often felt conceited. ( For example Ki-Jun’s “ ambivalent” feelings as well as Yoo-Jin’s workplace drama.)

Of course this isn’t to say that as an audience we didn’t see some moments of error or weaknesses for the characters in this series, this was rarely given more reasoning. When Si-Woo or Ha-Kyung were at fault the series would often find excuses to justify this as “ morally right” without necessarily highlighting the faults or flaws at the heart of their issues. Similarly Ki-Jun and Yoo-Jin’s actions and misdeeds were often labelled as purely diabolical or a cause of disgust and shame, without always necessarily digging deeper into the causes or allowing viewers to see a full-side of the picture .

Nevertheless a shoutout must be given to supporting actor Kwon Hae-Hyo’s  ( ‘ Revenge and Passion’, ‘ Radiant Office’ and ‘ Undercover’) performance as head of the bureau, Ko Bong-Chan. Arguably one of the most underrated performances in the series, Kwon perfectly embodied an oddly authentic cynical charm to his cantankerous onscreen character.
 
 Due to the previously mentioned flaws of ‘Forecasting Love and Weather’, the knock-on effect of these problems evidently dragged down the narrative’s execution and pacing. Admittedly it is inaccurate to claim that the entire trajectory was calamitous. The series often attempted to create a balance between downplaying key events in order to build-up these obstacles for the main leads, as well as offering pacy climatic moments in order to keep viewers intrigued with forlorn hope.

However due to the extent of misunderstandings and conflicts presented with this method of execution, it could often make ‘Forecasting Love and Weather’ feel as though it was tediously slow in parts and tiresomely repetitive as a consequence. This was mainly due also to the format of each episode following a similar pattern; a dilemma would become apparent to the audience (though evidently not to the characters at first), the problem would emerge and then a misunderstanding or conflict would occur before being dragged out, resolved and then repeat.
 
Perhaps this wouldn’t have been so bad if there had been variation or by the latter-half, viewers had seen opportunities for the characters to gradually overcome their misunderstandings from the first-half. Instead, the predominant focus upon dragging out tense conflicts and misunderstandings had a severe impact upon the seemingly main relationship between Ha-Kyung and Si-Woo; lacking screentime together in addition to ironically spending more time interacting with their exes onscreen, rarely allowing opportunities for viewers to see this relationship reach a concise or healthy resolution.
 
Under the directing reigns of Cha Young Hoon ( ‘ When The Camellia Blooms’, ‘ Uncontrollably Fond’ and ‘ Gaksital’), it is undeniable that despite some limited camera angles and pan shots at times,  ‘ Forecasting Love and Weather’ was filled with some sleek and aesthetic shots.

In particular due to the main subject area of the series being upon the field of meteorology and weather, Young Hoon captured some mesmeric moments of weather changes from the rolling tide, to descending fog, dew on the ground and rain.
 
However, this was also used as an effective narrative device also; pathetic fallacy. (For those unfamiliar with the term, pathetic fallacy refers to the usage of weather in order to display the mood, tone or feelings of a narrative and its characters. )

For ‘Forecasting Love and Weather’ this became apparent with the brief yet effective usage of these scenes in order to highlight the emotional conflicts of the characters as well as the main leads’ relationship in different stages over the course of the narrative. (Enforced by particular episode titles helping to hint   such as “Signal” , “Localized Heavy Rain”, “Tropical Night” in order to hint at the literal and metaphorical problems of each episode.)
 
In addition to the filming stylistics of ‘ Forecasting Love and Weather’, there is also the important discussion surrounding the drama’s comprised OST of schmaltzy pop songs and love ballads. There is no beating around the bush that some of these tracks weren’t particularly memorable. However renowned singer CHEEZE’s upbeat track  ‘Melting (사르르쿵)’, and earnest love ballad ‘ Promise You’ performed by  Kyuhyun were arguably some of the best songs found on the soundtrack which remained noteworthy .
 
Overall impressions of ‘Forecasting Love and Weather’ are entirely dependent on expectations. There is a certain unusual attraction to the series’ topic area of meteorology and its visual aesthetics. On the other hand, ‘ Forecasting Love and Weather’ could often be caught up in a storm of its own making; inconsistent tonal shifts,  character-writing and questionable pacing did little to bring out the best sides of ‘ Forecasting Love and Weather’.

Hey! What's Wrong With The Weather?

Being an enthusiastic supporter of both the two main leads: Song Kang and Park Min Young, I was very disappointed in Forecasting Weather and Love and in the lack of show exposure they each had.

Having watched Song Kang in Nevertheless, Navillera, and other dramas, I was not happy with the amount of plot time he was given. There are a few scenes of him here and there, but no comparison to the extensive performance he did in Navillera for example.

Min Young's acting ability and plot time in Weather paled in comparison with Min Young's roles in Her Private Life, When the Weather is Fine, and What's Wrong with Secretary Kim.

Worse yet, so much time was spent on the side couples and not on the main couple itself. Also, an inordinate amount of time was spent on the technological aspects of the weather itself, even going into the minutest details.

I was very disappointed in this drama, having to wait anxiously to watch it, only to feel that it was not a hit but a miss.

Hopefully, recent 2022 K-dramas being shown on Netflix will have a higher probability of success.

A must watch if you want to learn about life and relationships

If you are looking for a show about life and relationships, "Forecasting Love and Weather" is it. However, if you are looking for a feel-good, very romantic touchy-feely, "I want this show to fit my biased imaginary romantic fantasy", then skip it.

"Forecasting Love and Weather" is about life and relationships. It is about the decisions we make, why we make them, and the repercussions of those decisions. This is not about your favourite actors having a blissful romantic butterfly-in-the-stomach story, this is about relationships between parents and children, supervisor and subordinate, a person's relationship with their work and officemates, between married couples, ex-couples who became friends (yes, it does happen in real-life far more frequently than society wants you to believe), how people change, how people regret things and what they learn from it.

In short, LIFE.

And they did well in portraying and tell the story of the different scenarios people do experience in real-life, out there in the real-world. The pain, the joy, reality itself. Every single scenario, every single decision, were true-to-life, scenarios that many people actually experienced.

The poetic monologues in the beginning and ending of each episode were also deep and very appropriate. It pierces through our hearts and souls. More than that, they tied weather patterns into various relationships. Who would've thought that we reframe weather forecasting in such a way? After having watched this series, it does make perfect sense … relationships, no matter what type it is, is like weather and forecasting. We may get it right, we may get it wrong. It may turn out correct but not exactly what we expected it to be, or it may be a very bad forecast but we push and find a way to learn and fix it.

Kudos as well to using the meteorological setting. Let's be honest, in every country in the world, the public always see meteorological agencies as "wrong", "not doing their job right", "should be defunded", we are forgetting that forecasting is forecasting and there are people working overtime, even to the point of unknowingly sacrificing their families and personal lives, just to give an accurate forecast.

Hopefully, this show would have had opened the eyes of the public to the kind of work and sacrifices meteorologists go through. Yes, they should not have prioritized their work over their families and personal lives, but we can not blame them when the public expects 100% accuracy, and if they their forecast turned out inaccurate, nations are in an uproar and wants to investigate and terminate them.

Which simply brings back to … this show is about LIFE and RELATIONSHIPS. If this is not your cup of tea, if you are looking for an escape from reality and live in a fantasy world, this is not the show for you.

But if you are looking for learn, then this is a perfect show.

Lastly, even though they chose the "and they ALL lived happily ever after", the road to that was well-written. They did not just jump into that conclusion, they still went through and highlighted the trials and tribulations of each relationship (romantic, family, parent-children, work). They avoided the common pitfall in the "they lived happily ever after" ending.

Well done. Touching. Memorable.

Best of all

Full of LIFE LESSONS!

*SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN* GOOD & BAD

NOT ENTIRELY BAD NOR ENTIRELY GOOD
The drama has a good Theme but it was a highly anticipated drama of 2022 because of such a good cast, having a lot of expectations leads to disappointment. Song Kang and Park Min Young Are doing their best but the character doesn't allow them to do much, The drama is very realistic which makes it serious and slow-paced, the genre of drama is ROMANCE, DRAMA, MELODRAMA. those who were expecting it to be a usual office romance were let down by the pace of the drama.
The First half was about starting of romance but in the second half, the story developed into serious issues About relationships, marriage, Work, career and so on. HENCE The first half was bearable and in the second half, the viewer lost their interest the character seemed boring.
I am content with Song Kang's character LEE SI WOO (until he became Park Jae Eun but At least here he has a reasonable backstory and he gets better later on) still he's like a little kid longing for love...
Park Min Young plays a very mature character with responsibilities on her shoulder that's why she doesn't have much time for anything else and nothing excites her in life until lee si woo...
What Made this drama a disappointment was the writing (cause she took all the characters in great dept which most people found boring; her bad). she is the same writer as DR Romantic Kim (which is a great medical drama), sometimes you hit sometimes you miss, THERE She succeeded HERE She failed to attract the audience...
She has given a reasonable background story to Leads, which shows why they are the way they are and how they are unable to overcome their past and in fear of their past they keep making mistakes.

YOU CAN GIVE IT A TRY IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN:
older women and younger boy trope
relationships problem
work-life of a Weather forecaster
Facing realistic problem
overcoming Challenges in life
a serious and slow-paced story
side characters story
slow development
...
YOU MIGHT NOT LIKE:
little draggy
Unnecessary plot twist
slow pace
not A ROM/COM
serious character
annoying SML & SFL
...
what I liked was:
how the Writer kept showing the similarities between weather and the Changes in the character's feelings and their surrounding
the struggle of the characters and the endurance one need to have to live in this society.

RECOMMENDED to those who can bear a slow-paced story and aren't looking for a rom-com...

I'm curious,

Why waste PMY in such a way? Why 'romance' is listed as the main genre? Who the heck wants to watch that cheating couple overcoming their problems given a heck of screen time? (sometimes I even felt they got more scenes together than the main cp did) and the most important: Why does this drama even exist?

When the whole romance, getting into relationship part was in bullet speed, I tried to understand. Fine they going differently, elsewhere first there's good development then leads get together but it's okay if here it's vice versa, but no lol, that development never existed so the chemistry.. first their relationship was bombarded then they 'love' each other onto us, why they do? I think the writer left that question to viewers... other than the addition of boredom there's no purpose so we have some questions to solve, right?

When I was bored more than enough from their bland and tasteless love story, it wasn't enough as we have a whole weather forecasting plot... that does give vibes is this a thriller drama? I never knew weather forecasting has that impact on common people's lives... okay I get it there are some fields where it's important, but I'm talking about common folks from my personal experience no one gives a damn to weather forecast here... some even say proudly that their predictions are always opposite to outcome. Or is this is thing is SK? or as usual glorifying every profession, it seems later case to me

It's a Netflix drama so, with their usual production quality and cinematography, I didn't give attention to osts, see if a dish is a disaster you don't care whether the parsley used for garnishing is of top quality or not.

What writer was trying to tell... I never got to know till the end, was it noona romance? (would be most bland ever), Thrilling experiences while forecasting, How to keep bitchy attitude even though you cheated... maybe it's another example of putting all random stories, most uninteresting characters (including leads), with most boring scenario.. together to form a thing called drama.. and yeah garnished with annoying... unbearable characters. Voila!

I actually have a lot to rant about but I really don't want to waste more words for ranting.. so I'll stop here, definitely not recommended. Maybe if you need to watch something that'll bore you to death then you should.

Horrible.

Well what can I say, the drama started out fun, but it was obvious to me that things will go downhill for our characters and fast. That would not necessarily be a problem, however this was not really enjoyable after the early episodes at all. The plot is not only bad, but also it just often does not make any sense, it's like the author used various kdrama character & story templates to piece the plot together, hoping that the research she has done into weather forecasting would be enough the carry the show, that is however not the case. People in the comment section called this "noir", I don't think that is accurate, it's just a badly written light melodrama, where the melodramatic events are lacking in impact & it's just difficult to empathize with any of the four main characters. The only thing I liked about the plot is FL's sister's loveline, that's pretty much it.

I fully expected the bad writing going in, this author has written Dr Romantic, Dr Romantic 2, Gu Family Book and Where Stars Land. Out of these only Where Stars Land is actually a good drama & the good writing is not the reason why.. Forecasting though is far worse than those listed above. It's like the cheaters are the main characters in the drama and that's not really the problem by itself, but good god Yoon Park's character is just the worst and he has more romance and implied character growth than anyone else.

As for the OTP romance, it's just bad across the board. For starters neither of the two are likeable, why should we care about their horribly written romance? Also as much as I love Park MinYoung, she had no chemistry with Song Kang whatsoever. (I've seen her have great chemistry with at least 3 different actors before) So yes, the casting has been botched from the get go.

ML's father is a character that should never appear in a kdrama. Due to the limitations of what can & cannot be shown on Korean TV, characters like his can never be showcased realistically, all this is only good to annoy the viewers.

I must congratulate Forecasting Love and Weather for one thing though, as of today this is the worst kdrama that I have ever finished. The drama has gotten my attention in the first 2-4 episodes & later on I kept hoping every week that the current episodes will be better, which has never happened. The production team has successfully made me watch a large array of product placements & I'm sure the same applies to a large chunk of the Korean viewers as well. I have a difficulty believing that the good ratings are due to everyone enjoying this so much, but it's ultimately a commercial success. The big problem with commercial successes is that they are going to get copied and ..
