Batalha De Amor (2023)

F4- Funny, Fluffy, Fulfilling and Fabulous

I started this drama thinking I would drop this before I reach the mid, but to my surprise I LOVED IT to that extent I didn't wanted it to finish this quickly. It's been a while since I watched something this wholesome.

So before judging the series by someone's review/comment, check this out yourself. ML-FL and SML-SFL's chemistry were lovely. Combining romance, comedy with speed and diversity in script, in a 10 ep rom-com isn't a joke. The story will keep your eyes pasted on the screen throughout the episodes and by the time an episode finishes you'll click the next episode like a speed of a tornado. I mean THEY REALLY DID A GREAT JOB! This series is great mood changer if you're looking for something funny and fulfilling. You don't believe me, just go run your fingers fast and start binge watching this right NOW!

OMG no one's gonna talk about KIM OK BIN?! SHE'S SPONTANEOUSLY CHARMING! She's like a fighter goddess. She's literally the perfect match for the character Miran. I became a fan of her.

NGL KIM JI HOON and YOO TEO made my heart flutter like crazy ❤️

I'll re-watch this for their fabulous chemistry again and again

9/10

female lead carried

What stood out for me was the female protagonist. I'm enjoying this new trend of female characters being more independent and goal-oriented. Also, kim ok bin did the series justice with her acting. That's what I would like to call perfect casting. I finished it for her character only. To all the haters out there, not every character needs redemption or development. If she was a man, you all would thirst over him.

I choose to be a villain and say that the plot-wise this drama isn't something extraordinary. Honestly, I was prepared for the worst outcome since the same screenwriter wrote my id is gangam beauty. Nevertheless, the comedy aspect of the series is surprisingly well done

Soooo Freaking GOOD!!!

I Devoured this series in one sitting! I just couldn't get enough, I was up till 6am finishing it! Love to hate you was just sooo good! It's a short series with only 10 episodes. The cast is new to me except the secondary couple. The Cast makes you instantly fall in Love with them! This was a refreshing feel good drama, full of cute and quirky with lots of laughs and many swoon worthy, squealing moments! It's been hard to find something as good and addictive as Business Proposal and I have to say Netflix really hit the nail on the head with this one! Also I feel like the vibe was the perfect blend of mature yet still fresh. A more settled atmosphere, with the male leads being 40 in this drama and our female leads being independent and strong. There was little to no drama and I feel like that really made it enjoyable.

Hidden Gem

"A good person isn't someone who is just nice, but someone who changes others into nice people" — love to hate you, ep. 9

Y'all...I am gaggeddddd! I don't think there is a better feeling in this world than when you stumble upon a hidden gem like "Love to Hate You" randomly and end up loving it. This mature rom-com has pulled some strings on my twenty something year old heart and I couldn't be more grateful.

It's so FUNNY? Like, belly-laughing, coughing up water, snorting type of funny??? I absolutely LOVE when an entire ensemble visibly has a funny bone because, my god, there wasn't an episode where I wasn't dying from laughter. The plot isn't something you haven't seen before but they just do it so well. The line deliveries are incredible, the chemistry is INSANE (like let us breathe for a sec...WHEW), and lessons learned from the characters are unforgettable. We are who we are because of the people around us and we too can change because of them. Heartbroken this drama is only 10 episodes long but I think they have done us all a favor by doing that because I would have become insufferable, like actually.

If you're looking for a light-hearted rom-com that falls more on the mature side, I *highly* recommend watching Love to Hate You. It has everything and more and not the mention the four leads are FINEEEE. Wherever you lie on the sexuality spectrum, GOOD LUCK, because they do not play with the visuals in this drama.

Misogynist fells in love with a strong feminist

Love To Hate You was a quite production which I really liked not only for it's comedy and beautiful fight scenes but also for the questionably different ways of treating of males and females. I am feminist who just like Yeo Mi Ran hates when someone says "you did it good for a girl" or "girls shouldn't do that" pfffff Watch me! The war of the genders is treated here with a lot of humor but also shows the ugly truth.

For a series with only 12 episodes, the main characters were very well presented to the public. The secondary ones were not so well presented, but it was enough to like them. As for the acting itself and the cast, the actors were very well matched to the characters they played. Lawyer Mi Ran was not the most beautiful but she had a hidden beauty and fantastic character ?, on the other hand Kang Ho was gorgeous but his character ... could be better ?? Together they create an explosive mixture and over time allow each other to solve relationship problems.

Although the acting and story contained in Love to Hate You is not up to Thirty-Nine, it deserves a good score of 6.5/10 ? because it talks about a big problem faced by many societies in the world - inequality in thinking about a woman and a man. I'm not going to manifest anything here, don't worry about that ? I am a feminist but also a realist and I know women's limitations. Certain professions are made for men due to their physique, and a woman cannot overcome that. Sorry but no. However professions like lawyer, doctor or stay-at-home parent.... I don't see a difference if it's a man or a woman. Mi Ran's father's attitude is aggravating and I'd love to punch him in the nose myself.... ?

Wickedly Hilarious

I completely passed on this title on Netflix because I thought oh, who's the ML and FL? But then I saw them as guests on a variety show Amazing Saturday and I was taken over by the ML. I am so glad that I get to watch the drama.
Very hilarious and awesome chemistry between the leads. I watched this because of Kim Ji Hoon at first but I was taken by Yoo Teo's charm and his face and aura fit a Noir film for sure.

This drama was easy watch and I was laughing all the time. Very light and fun to watch drama. The romance isn't bad at all either! Very realistic!

Fake dating with enemies to lovers trope

This is definitely not your typical sweet girl next door type of heroine because Yeo Mi Ran is a woman with strong will of justice, a feminist and a smart lawyer. While the male lead, Nam Kang Ho has a painful past that caused him to dislike women. Their first meeting and relationship was started with bad impression towards each other thus it leads to several incidents that forced them to form a contract and start to fake dating.
I found that they are naturally falling in love during their time spent together, and how they slowly open up and remove all the bad judgements about men/women in general. Honestly, I did not think their sorts of interaction is cringe nor awkward because they are adults, in 30s I believe. So, it is common for adult people act that way, and maybe we are too common with teenager sweet and innocent love that we find Mi Ran and Kang Ho's idea of being in love was so awkward to watch. Since it is a rom com with 10 episodes, I think it is well written and fast paced. Yeah, and I also enjoy the second couple's interaction as they are not stealing the main leads story and their story was cute and adorable.
Applause to the writer because they include the issue on misogynism, feminism, patriarchy, narcissism and write in a witty and fun way.

REFRESHING DRAMA!!

I've got not much to say....
but the drama is so refreshing

I've never laughed in a long time
you just have to watch it and enjoy yourself
don't watch it with the purpose of finding faults or using logistics to watch the drama
the Chemistry is really amazing for me....
I enjoyed it so much that I'm giving a review which I normally don't do
The bromance is amazing as well as the sismance
They should have developed more on the second couple or not do it at all

it also shows the perks of being a celebrity you know and helps us see what real celebrity out there face in their personal life
The cometis top notch

The enlightenment on feminism was also amazing
in Total the drama is great
and I'd rewatch it anytime

Nothing stood out ---- yet a great feel good drama

The FL was refreshing, chirpy, happy, fun, and off course kick-ass!
Finally finally finally got to see a funny and romantic story.

I only watch romance and mainly romantic comedies - so I guess my reviews are very stringent and based only for this genre.
A romantic comedy generally floats us away into a world of clichéd tropes, silly situations, comic laughter and happy endings. That's all we ask of this genre.

However when the clichéd tropes make your heart flutter, the silly situations make you blush and the comedy makes you grin from ear to ear, then it gets an award.

But beyond that if you add sizzling chemistry, swoon worthy kisses and a talented group of supporting actors - phew- it deserves a standing ovation!!

Thank you for making this a little bit different!

10 episodes only?

I wish it had more episodes! It’s such a joyride.

At first, I didn’t want to watch this series as I thought it would be a series about annoyingly incessant bickering. However, I actually find the bickering funny and interesting. It felt so natural and not plot manipulated. Both leads are endearing in their own way, their acting and facial expressions are nearly priceless; and there’s an enjoyable freshness in the somewhat unique plot and characters. The cleverness, battle of the wits and straightforward thinking is actually engaging, instead of stressful. I’m actually enjoying this so far, and I’m excited to discover how it will turn out in the end.
