Deborah segue fiel ao amor
Deborah segue fiel ao amor, mesmo após o fim sempre há um recomeço." O término é como um resfriado; vai passar logo" - é com essa leveza que descobrimos a empatia pós término e pré recomeço.
É refrescante ver o desenvolvimento da história, e principalmente da personagem que passa por um término difícil que transcende a vida pessoal da protagonista afetando também sua carreira de sucesso construída como "coach de relacionamentos" - daí a dualidade emocional da Bo-ra coach de relacionamentos com problemas no amor (e a coitada sofre).
É interessante a forma como o drama mostra as fases do término e o recomeço, mostra como as vezes pode ser tão difícil superar a dor e recomeçar novamente; os personagens são únicos e a partir disso temos cenas disertíssimas entre os casais cada qual com sua dinâmica amorosa, além é claro dos momentos que nos levam a refletir sobre como nos colocamos e colocamos o outro dentro de um relacionamento, sobre como seguir a vida após o fim de uma relação, sobre como recomeçar quando tudo parece errado ... Cada episodio é uma surpresa agradável, e o visual dos personagens é muito bem elaborado com diversos outifts mara. A ost não ficou muito na minha cabeça, não senti tanto foco nisso, além da forma como alguns personagens foram retratados na história para mim não foi tão satisfatória. Fora isso os eps fluiram muito bem (assim como o desenvolvimento dos casais), e foi uma delicia assistir ao drama, fora o fato de que o final deixa nosso coração quentinho - "Era nosso primeiro dia de inverno, tão quente quanto o verão".

Fiéis ao amor
"ainda assim, não vamos nos arrepender disso. "Como vivemos, mesmo sabendo que vamos morrer um dia, e como compramos flores mesmo sabendo que vão murchar, como ficamos tristes aos dizer adeus, sabendo que vamos nos ver novamente amanhã, como fazemos promessas que não podemos cumprir as vezes, como compramos coisas inúteis, somos verdadeiros ao amar em todos os momentos possíveis do fundo do nosso coração. Somos fiéis ao amor."Eu tô sensível e chorei não sei porque nesse final. Eu coloquei expectativas bem altas antes de assistir BoRa e no começo foi tudo muito bem mas depois... Eu realmente fiquei feliz com o final, mas eu queria ter visto mais deles como casal sabe? Eles tinham uma química tão linda. O que mais me deixou feliz foi a BoRa ter se encontrado depois do término e como ela deixou o final do livro, fiquei realmente feliz com isso. O su hyeok finalmente libertou o coração dele pro amor, mas demorou tanto ?. Com o discurso do final, entendi que foram diversos tipos de amor, o amor de casados que é aquele que tenta até o fim e vê que pode dar um jeito, o amor de não desistir do que ama pelo Jin ho e a yoo ri, de acreditar nele que pode ser lindo, confortável e pode ser retribuído. E o amor dos dois que se encontraram e se descobriram no decorrer de tudo que aconteceu. Queria ter visto um amadurecimento maior da Bomi, gostei muito da personagem dela e do romance com o jinho mas eles escolherem casar foi o tipo de final que o drama iria dar, mas queria mais. Fiquei feliz com a Yu jeong e o Jin woo, a comunicação voltou pra o relacionamento deles.
Enfim, eu gostei do drama mas poderia ter sido melhor sabe? Achei que enxutaram muito, fizeram um pouquinho de drama demais. Enfim, foi ótimo, gostei de verdade mas não amei apaixonadamente.
Parabéns aos atores (vou ver tudo que o ator de su hyeok fez) e irei apoiar nos próximos projetos!

Pule esse...
Com uma história repleta de situações constrangedoras sem nenhuma graça, um roteiro extremamente maçante e totalmente sem noção eu realmente não sei como eu terminei esse K-Drama. A protagonista é enfastiante, exageradamente bobinha e bastante fútil. Seu par não fica muito atrás, é um personagem bem cansativo.No geral é um drama surpreendentemente ruim! Sem nenhum brilho, os personagens não são interessantes, a história não tem nada que te prenda. Tem um padrão daqueles dramas coreanos dos anos 2000, bem vergonha alheia mesmo. Eu até pensei que esse tipo de drama tinha felizmente acabado... Nossa... mesmo se você estiver sem nada para assistir eu não indicaria esse drama. Péssimo drama!

Nicole diz
No começo eu achei que o casal principal só iria ficar junto porque seus relacionamentos anteriores deram errado e não gostei muito desse fato, além de que, eu gostei bastante do Soo Hyuk e da Yoo Ri como casal mesmo que tenha durado 10 minutos de tela. Mas a verdade é que eles realmente ficaram juntos pelo término do relacionamento anterior, e ao passar do drama, acabei por "aceitar" esse fato, tendo em vista que ambos ex-parceiros não eram lá grande coisa.Me decepcionei com a Yoo Ri, mas era necessário ela ficar com esse papel maldoso de querer ver o sofrimento do ex, para assim, eu não imaginar ela com o Soo Hyuk. Já o Ju Hwan, sem comentários, desde a primeira vez que o vi já não simpatizei com ele e particularmente, não gosto muito do ator, então isso pode ser algo pessoal.
Um ponto positivo sobre o drama é que os casais secundários (sim, casais, no plural) são ótimos e com um tempo de tela bom para você facilmente se apegar a eles e se sentir envolvida com a história de cada um, que por sinal, é bem interessante, já que os três casais, em minha percepção, são uma forma de ciclo de relacionamento que a maioria das pessoas passa nos dias de hoje.
Nos pequenos momentos em que o casal principal ficou junto descontraindo e não discutindo, acabei por dar boas risadas e claro, surtar, principalmente quando eles se beijaram. Eu realmente não esperava pelo beijo e fiquei contente que aconteceu mas sinto que desandou depois do ocorrido. Queria que mostrasse (e acho que muita gente também) mais eles como casal e o crescimento deles, mas o que aconteceu foi remember com o ex.
Já no primeiro episódio do drama fiquei receosa pelos motivos citados no primeiro parágrafo, então não estava esperançosa sobre o desenrolar da trama. No final eu acabei por concluir que mesmo com os momentos e pontos positivos sobre a série, não é algo que eu reveja ou recomende pois deixou a desejar em vários aspectos. Possivelmente, era um drama que tinha potencial se mudasse alguns pontos do roteiro e acredito que eu iria gostar mais.

True To Love !
What after you break up ... all that fuss for nothing. Life is not all rosy and not always will the person next to you make you feel butterflies, life reaches you in various aspects some you imagine and some you dare not. And that's just what it's all about -living each day as if there's no tomorrow while planning a forever.It's a combined package of hope and despair.
So a dating coach failing at love huh, to be honest, I did not really expect that I would love it this much but clearly, this show grows onto you. With each passing episode, you realize that this show doesn't promise an answer to how you should deal with your love life or as a matter of fact breakup it simply just promises a hope that it'll get better.
To me, there's no simple answer to whether you should watch it or not all I can say is you need to try it for yourself. To some the character of bo ra may seem shallow but it has layers to it. The ML and FL may not be the best for butterfly chemistry but they do top the charts for real stuff.
It's an achievement for a show to depict a fiction that seems real. Everyone knows things in real life don't work like they do in the show but even then it answers questions in a way that makes you feel content.
What I loved throughout the show was that it was lovable in little elements and the characters were true to themselves.
SPOILER STUFF AHEAD !!! .............
(So it's been long since I wrote a review and quite frankly I know I am writing a long one again this time. ) A LITTLE HEADS UP !
Let's begin with how ML offers rides to FL before even falling for her. Even though he doesn't agree to the ways she believes in and advertises, there's a certain respect that he offers. (manifesting friendships like these)
I love how Bo Ra even after hearing that she is suffocating to be around still hangs on to her personality of confessing first and being the hopeless romantic. At the same time I also appreciate that ML was true to his personality of being the closed one. I am the closed kind of person and know that even if we see things going wrong we just can't really admit to our emotions easily.
During the course of the show, I come to like Bo Ra because initially I just literally thought that she was a dumb kind of character for going back to someone who clearly ain't into her. But through the journey of these 14 eps, I realized that both things are okay since there's no right or wrong in matters of heart. Either you say it or you don't in the end all that matters is the feeling.
I love how she has her own journey of self-realization while writing that whole book ...
The free hugs, walk back home, listening to her blabber while drunk was all so much needed !
WHAT AFTER A BREAKUP ???
..the major and best part of the show ...get up, pick yourself up, find an identity that belongs to you, see the world with the new perspective you have found, order that special pizza, buy your birthstone jewelry and fucking live.
do whatever makes you happy if that's getting drunk on street it's absolutely okay. It's okay to have a hard time breaking up it's okay if you fall for someone who makes you feel special instead of someone who cannot provide you with the assurance you need. Everything is okay, not being able to get over that cheat or parting ways mutually, falling in love again , failing in love again ....fucking everything.
I love how the side characters try to make things work ( Bo Ra's friend and her husband) I know as a fact that marriage is not some child play and it's not that simple. The way they just exist next to each other is a treat in itself.
(But as they say too much sugar is bitter - at times they are just so annoying that I literally had to skip through)
I must admit that I liked how their marriage was an issue in itself and how they were trying to sort things through.
I also liked the trope of ML's bestie and her ex-wife they had a journey of their own. Of self-realization, blame games, hatred, longing, affection and so much more. They just made it so much better.
I liked the Farce comedy throughout the show and somehow it just makes it objectively better for me cuz afterall I need drama in a drama.
What could be avoided ....
Well the pregnancy trope was really a big turn-off for me.
The return of Bo Ra's ex clearly unnecessary.
The ceo falling (ML's bestie) for some coworker...I didn't need that
I certainly did appreciate the fact that the show covers every aspect like marriage, divorce, dating, cheating, breakups, and proposals ....like everything.
THE BEST LINES FROM THE SHOW .....
"Even if someone will die tomorrow if you kill him today, it's murder." (The context in which it is used is just love)
"I can't leave this world with a tombstone that says - She was dumped, drunk and clingy."- (so rewrite who you want to be, rewrite so you can lie peacefully in your grave.)
"And then, I felt the ground. It had felt like a bottomless pit, but then I felt the ground. It was impossible to sink deeper. I hit rock bottom and it can't get any worse. Now I can only get back up."
"I don't need reassurance from someone for the choices I make."
" Whether it's a happy ending or a sad one I have to write my own ending."
and the last lines from the drama ....
"But our love is neither a perfect happy ending nor a sad ending, it's an open ending.
There's no such thing as a strategy for love, that never fails.
Promises will be broken, Love will change in the course of time....
some may say ...after making all that fuss you guys ended up splitting...when our relationship ends at some unknown point.
still, we will not regret that.
Like we live though we know we'll die someday.
Like we buy flowers though we know they'll wilt.
Like we sadly say goodbye though we know we'll see each other tomorrow.
likewise, we make promises we can't keep sometimes
like we buy stuff that is useless
we are true to love every possible moment
....from the bottom of our heart, we are true to love. !!! "
TO WATCH OR MAYBE SAVE TIME ....???
For me I really feel like this show does have a lot to offer but I do acknowledge that It's not the show that everyone would love.
I'd still suggest you that on case you try it out be patient let the story build and grow on to you you won't regret spending time on it.
I'll probably come for a rewatch in my next life ...for this one I plan on exploring a lot other gems. !
but once was a must !

Perfectly paced and focused
This is officially the best break-up, moving-on, and recovering/healing drama ever. Not just in K-drama land, but in the entire world and in history.Maybe it's too early to claim that, but 6 episodes in, and it's very evident already.
They let us see up close and personal what a person who loves someone so much, have given them everything, feels like and goes through after a nasty break-up, (specially because of cheating).
They did not rush the story. It was paced well, to bring out the emotions, the pain, the hurt. The psychological impact, and ultimately, how a person can get back on their feet.
The monologues were awesome as well. Every single one of it were felt. They showed us the process.
And as someone who have been in such a situation, Yoo In Na captured everything so well. Did she experience it herself? Because gawd, that was me. Desperate. Shaking. Hopeful. End-of-the-world. Will take all the blame, will even take the blame for killing Abel, or Julius Caesar. Will turn a blind-eye. Will even accept sharing your partner! Because at that moment, you're thinking you can not live without them.
You can not accept the new reality in front of you. You want to move on, but the new reality is unrealistic. You are not in denial anymore (otherwise you wouldn't even beg), you just do not want to embrace your new reality. You want to run away from it.
“No, that's not a reality I will accept, I can make this work, I can choose which reality I want, I can manifest it.”
It will be for a long while before this show is dethroned in my list as the #1 break-up, moving-on, recovering/healing relationship story.

Unhealthy relationships, desperation and neediness abound
I'm apparently the only person that did not enjoy this show. I'll start with the positives, and you can blow off the rest of the review, if you choose, because my thoughts are definitely in the minority.LIKED:
1) Yoo In Na - one of my favorite K actresses. Her size and her demeanor are always attractive to me. She's got a sweet vulnerability about her. She's totally gorgeous, but she's the kind of woman that men fall in love with, and women want to be friends with.
2) Yoon Hyun Min - I enjoy this actor. Understated, intense and he sure knows how to wear his clothes!
3) The young man that fell in love with Bo Ra's sister. Brilliant smiles, barely contained energy and he reminded me of a puppy, all nervous energy. However, he knew what he wanted, and he never wavered.
4) The line in the last episode when Soo Hyuk was talking about Bo Ra being little.
5) When Soo Hyuk was with Bo Ra when she was dress shopping.
SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS!
DID NOT LIKE:
1) Bo Ra - She was an absolute mess! As a love coach, her advice was about "playing" men to get what you want. The phrase "small and sparkly" was used at least 20 times in the first episode. It wasn't about being in love; it was about getting the ring. I got absolutely no feeling that she was in love with her boyfriend, but that she was just waiting for the ring to get married. So, when things went south, her reactions seemed extreme and out of character. Her over-the-top angst was painful for me to watch, just because I didn't think she really loved him anyway. Plus, it went on entirely too long. Almost half of the episodes were about how broken-hearted she was. Stalkerish, needy, inappropriate, and lack of self-esteem flowed from this character. "I was going to let myself like him if he says he likes me. I was going to love him if he says he loves me." She was always trying to GET something from someone. I did not care for this character nor empathize with her in any way.
2) Overabundance of alcohol. I know that drinking seems to play a large part in K-dramas. However, here the drinking caused people to behave in ways that made me really not like them. Plus, drinking alone is always a red flag. Drunken wandering in the neighborhood, peeing in public, drunken confessions.
3) Too many couples. Four couple storylines was too much, mostly because we only got part of an episode with the mains together. The rest was couples fighting, couples trying to get together, couples making up, and that was mostly the other three couples.
4) Soo Hyuk. Obviously, he wasn't in love with his girlfriend, he only bought a ring to make her happy. So, once they broke up, I wasn't feeling his sadness.
5) Overuse of the "I didn't want to be with you before, but now that you are with someone else, I want you back" trope. And we had to suffer through it with both leads!
6) Lack of realistic progression of the lead's relationship. He spent most of the drama listening to her cry and whine, then helping her "get back" at her ex, all to make herself feel better. They weren't really getting to know one another, he was just helping her. Then all of a sudden they were supposedly in love?
7) Romance is absolutely not a word I would use for this drama. The main leads getting together was literally less than 10 minutes. The rest of the time I had to suffer though watching unhealthy relationships crash and burn.

DEBORAH SAYSSSS....
THIS IS THE DRAMA FOR HEALING AND RECOVERING!!Honestly this is not the best RomCom K-drama i have seen but its good.
Its not perfect but still it does the work of keeping you hooked to the story and characters.
It covers the cheating and post breakup phase and issues pretty well. I actually love the fact that the writer tried to portray how a breakup actually works, it’s not all rosy, not every time we get to act strong, and unaffected! Breaking down is real too!
Of course writer done something out of ordinary CLICHÉS but in between writer has managed to keep walking. Kind of comedy, with enough sarcasm and realism to keep me engaged.
At times it can be CLICHÉS, CRINGE AND EMBARRASSING but it gives you the comedic relief dealing with the issues of the drama.
Those feelings of embarrassment and despair are quite relatable. And it kinda realistic as well. Her behavior after breakup didn't change, it isn't like she got over the Ex in a blink and started falling for the ML.
I feel this is the first drama I am watching where the main character is portraying each stage of a breakup thoroughly .
I often found it unrealistic in dramas and novels where the main characters move on in life very fast after a breakup . They are thoroughly showing the main leads’ grief and the improvement in their own relationship which I am liking a LOT.
The actors have done an amazing job portraying the characters, you love them, you hate them, you laugh with them and you cry with them.
THINGS I DIDNT LIKE-
>I absolutely hated that accidental pregancy arc of the side couple. It was totally unessary and destroy a perfect side couple for me.
>They messed up the "ROMANCE" part for the main leads. The ROMANCE was NOT ENOUGH, most screentime was taken by thier annoying ex and side characters. And they didnt confess or talked about it openly until the last 2 episodes.
>The relationship between sangjin and uri [one of the side couple] was REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE for me to watch. I dont know what they were trying to do but there scene were hard to watch.
OVERALL, Its a fun drama to watch, light and comedic. You can definitely give it a try.

14 episodes and 10 minutes of love!
Ok, this drama was such a hype when the first episode aired cause honestly, the casting was good, the story was nice, and it had comedy, so it looked like we're gonna get a classic rom-com!brothers and sisters, let me tell you, it aint much of rom and com when there are exes involved and people who don't listen to their own advice!
you advice someone to let go of their ex and that both of them can move on and then confuse the man who loves you by going around with your cheating ex!
it was good, and up until ep 12, you'll love the sweetness! but beware of the last two episodes cause it'll make you wanna pull not your hair but the actors'!
it can still be called a decent rom com, maybe perfect for a one time watch!

Not worth your time
True To Love’s story is mediocre at best and its script problematic AF.I swear the writer of this drama never hold a proper conversation with a woman before, and further more seems to want to constantly humiliate the female lead. I understand wanting to bring a know it all character down so she can grow to become a better person but that’s not what the writer does.
The relationships per se are not bad and there’s development, except for the married couple which I detested with passion. Especially the husband since it made it look like what the wife was asking for was insane when in fact he has grown lazy and makes her feel unwanted and not loved.
The acting is not bad, these are all really talented artist, but I simply can’t recommend this drama.

Annoying
The ending was not convincing but I still prefer the main love story than the other 3 side stories. I didn't see how suddenly the boss decided to accept his employee's feeling, there wasn't any chemistry between them. The sister showed no character development, I thought she finally got better after the scam, but in the end she's still a rude brat. And the bestfriend's marriage stayed toxic till the end. Overall it's entertaining if you don't put too much thoughts on the annoying characters, but i really can't stand the last two episodes, I just wanna curse while watching.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

A whole new level of patheticness and ignorance....
I will not say specifics because the story is full of really bad examples. I can handle pathetic up to lvl. 5 out of 10. This is at lvl. 100. You have a woman who is supposed to be a dating coach and is self-confident. Then she finds out that her boyfriend has an affair or rather she finds the how hey make out. And it turns out she knew her as his cousin, but that was all a lie so they could be together. And here starts the patheticness. He actually tells her that it's her fault and she should not overreact, well let's just say, that guy turns out to be the king of a**holes. But our FL wants to go back to him. From here on the patheticness rises to a whole new level. She basically destroys her image, her carrer and keeps cryng amost half of the drama and wants to get back together with him. While he has fun with his little girlfriend. And then there is the part where everybody sends millions of won to a guy who uses her number.... I mean who would just send so much money before calling and asking for specifics? Especially the guy who has almost nothing to do with her. Ok her sister is somehow understandable but that guy.The whole break up and crying part should have been at most 2 episodes! That would have been enough, but here it just kept going. He treeted her like shit and she just wanted to get back together with him.
It was like watching someone touching fire and getting repeatedly burned and wondering why that happens.
Worst story I have seen for a very long time
