Unintentional Love Story (2023)

Good characters, enjoyable story line

I really enjoyed watching this bl. The characters are written to fall in love with them while watching this series. These are also couples that you root you for, really enjoyable. I just wished for a better ending scene (it was just that back hug at the end but donghee never really answered hotaes question, that annoyed me a bit) of hotae and donghee since I rlly loved them as a side couple. The kissing scenes were a bit awkward to watch since they basically and barely really kissed but just pressed each others lips onto another, but we're quite used to that in korean bls. But other than that, it was good watch. I can recommend it to everyone since its also a good story plot.

Une pépite ! Un trésor caché !

Ce drama place la barre très haut. J'ai été surprise de la moyenne générale qu'il a reçu car il mérite mieux.

Premièrement, la bande originale de ce BL est extraordinaire ! Dès l'instant où je l'ai entendue, j'ai commencé à l'écouter en boucle (Traffic Accident de Dann et MUJIN).

Deuxièmement, l'histoire est très bien écrite et parfaitement interprétée par les acteurs. Comparée aux autres BL existants, je l'ai trouvée différente et rafraîchissante, notamment par rapport aux décisions prises par Wonyoung ainsi que leurs conséquences dans leur futur. Rien n'est enfantin, mais au contraire, très mature, réfléchi et pensé. Les deux protagonistes sont deux adultes qui agissent comme tels et qui font face à leurs sentiments de manière différente. L'intrigue est parfaite et au fil du drama, on s'attache très vite aux personnages et on assiste le cœur battant à l'évolution de la nature des sentiments de Wonyoung envers Taejun.

Je sais que certaines personnes ne sont pas fan des "fake kiss" (faux baisers) et ont donc été frustrées par certaines scènes dans ce drama, mais je vous rassure, cela n'enlève en rien la qualité de l'histoire et de l'intrigue.

Ce drama fait sans aucun doute partie de mon Top5 de BL coréens de par la maturité des personnages et de l'intrigue, mais aussi de sa simplicité.

Uno dei bl coreani più belli visti fino ad ora!

Dolce, delicato e con una giusta dose di angst, Unintentional love story mi ha letteralmente rubato il cuore.
Non c’è nulla da fare, i coreani hanno una marcia in più nel raccontare storie , di qualsiasi tipo esse siano. E qui il tocco magico dei coreani si evince fin dalle prime scene e dalle prime battute.
Trama: semplice ma di impatto; sviluppata benissimo con nulla lasciato al caso.
Cast: tutti eccezionali, tutto ben calati nei rispettivi ruoli e tutti i loro personaggi di spessore. Ma il mio applauso va ai due protagonisti che, con i loro sguardi e i loro abbracci, mi hanno scaldato il cuore è fatta emozionare tantissimo.
Ost: tutte meravigliose e perfette per la storia.
A chi ama i bl e ancora non ha visto questo vi dò un consiglio: guardatelo perché vi ruberà il cuore.

Very good BL with lovely main characters

Love everything out of it. The main characters too. ML like Wonyoung is one in a million too. Strong, independent, he just knows when to stop and choose to love himself more (when he thought Taejoon truly hated him). I love that Wonyoung has got a backbone and in no way a weakling. Taejoon too, knows when it's time to admit his fault and apologize to Wonyoung. One of the healthiest relationship I've ever seen in series.

The scene where the two of them walk together into the sunset was just... wow 🥺
Loving that progression from "sajangnim" (사장님) to "hyung" (형) too 🥰 About time they get more comfortable with each other.

Like other, I wish for second season with Hotae-Donghee story too. I just can't move on from them yet. This BL drama would forever hold a very special place in my heart. Kudos to the team, you made it 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I'll surely rewatch this again when I miss them (already missing them as I write this).

Better than I expected

I definitely would recommend this to anyone who enjoys BL.

The story line is extremely well done and all of the actors did a fantastic job.

While I enjoy some of the school bl's, my taste runs more to the stories that are not school related, this being one of those.

While this show won't make my top five, it will make my top ten. However, the rewatch value might be low as I don't think I will watch this again for a long time.

It's a good show, don't get me wrong, but it's not a heavy drama and I prefer those, although there are not many out there.

My biggest complaint is the "touch your lips" kisses. While the story line and actors are quite good, I just don't get the same feel when a couple is supposed to be in love, but there is only a "comfortable and sentimental" type of feeling from them. Couples falling in love is when passion typically comes into play the most. This show is more like a bromance.

Also, although hurt feelings and tears are good, without a touch of anger in some of the scenes, something is a bit lacking, I think.

The landscape is beautiful, as is the OST, Overall, I think this show does deserve a 9 rating.

Very Wholesome, a Very Enjoyable Watching Experience.

Unintentional Love Story was a very lovely story to watch unfold.

The music was otherworldly in how good it was at expressing the emotion of the scenes.
The acting by the leads Cha Seo Won and Gongchan was honestly breath taking. Whether it was new love, heartbreak, betrayal, or just not feeling the vibe they were able to deliver it in a very profound and nuanced way.
The supporting actors of Han Do Woo and Won Tae Min were also entertaining and quirky adding a breath of comedy.

My biggest problem with this drama was it did not give itself an adequate number of episodes to properly pace out its complex narrative. This show would have been far better served as a 12 episode series, allowing for a full rounding off and complete deep dive of all its moving parts.
The lead relationship when depicted as functioning needed more action time before things went south in my opinion.
And the supporting relationship never was given the time to fully come to fruition on screen leaving one to wonder what is going to happen next.

Other than that I would recommend this show to anyone who enjoys a good drama. It has a lot of heavy elements making it less of an easy watch, but nothing that detracts from its enjoyment. Great acting, great emotion, interesting premise, and lovely music.

P.S. Be prepared for a lot of pausing because the close captions move very fast.

Quite lovable, but one support character could have been fleshed out more

I love both the main couple and the side couple in this BL. I wonder, though, if it might be better to make the side couple the main couple instead.

The main couple, Tae Joon and Won Young, have a rather solid if predictable story. I think much of the credit goes to the development of Tae Joon's character. I can understand how he has trust issues after being betrayed by his ex-boyfriend, so I can empathize with him when he finds it very difficult to simply forgive and make up with Won Young after he finds out that Won Young has been originally tasked to try to persuade him to come out of hiding and exhibit his works. Won Young is, on the other hand, also in a predicament we can sympathize with--he is suspended from his job through no fault of his own and can be in serious debt (also not really his own fault) if he does not get back his job. (It's unfortunate that the series seems to neglect the serious problems Won Young is facing after the initial exposition. Some timely reminders would perhaps have been good.)

The side couple, Dong Hee and Ho Tae, are quite economically portrayed. There is so much potential for fleshing out Dong Hee's back story. From the start, we are given hints that Dong Hee is in love with Ho Tae, but when the latter (who keeps changing girlfriends) shows an interest in him, he refuses to accept the love. Dong Hee's main explanation is that Ho Tae is the son of his mother's friend, but one wonders why. This is revealed later in the series in a flashback with Dong Hee suffering from abuse from his parents because of his sexuality and Ho Tae's mother being the only one who comforts him. Why Dong Hee does not accept Ho Tae's courtship because of Ho Tae's mother is less clear. Is he afraid that Ho Tae's mother might blame him if she is unable to accept it if her own son is gay--and she is someone he owes something to? Has he internalized homophobia in some way and thinks that Ho Tae and his family will be better of if Ho Tae goes on dating women? In some ways, Dong Hee can make for a more compelling main character than Tae Joon. The abuse he has suffered and the years of quiet one-sided love for Ho Tae make him the most emotionally complex character in the series. If only he were a more fleshed out side character or the main character!

Химия, каст, ОСТы в любимые

Да, Корея в этом году творит чудеса. Очень сложно выбрать лучших из последних их bl-дорам. Каждый раз что-то новое и интересное, которое забирает все ваше время, так как вы смотрите снова и снова. Когда серия рассчитанная на 30 минут превращается в час, так как каждый момент пересматриваешь с интересом и восторгом. Больше чем уверена, что опять найдутся критики насчет поцелуев и прочего. Верю, что все-таки люди научаться смотреть сюжет, понимать смысл и что любовь это не только постель и поцелуи. Сюжет идет ровно, нет прыжков и скачков "прошлое" "настоящее", все понятно, все во время. Бесподобно подобраны актеры. Их игра это настолько мощная передача всех эмоций. Ча Со Вон. Я видела и другие его роли, я не представляла его в этой тематике, но как он играл. Эти взгляды, объятия - это настолько интимно, красиво. Передача боли и главное Любви: к делу, человеку, жизни. А как он поет. ОСТ исполненный им до мурашек прекрасен. Я раньше не слышала как он поет. Найдите видео с ним записи ОСТа - это восхитительно. Вон ТхэМин. Как правильно он выбрал этот путь - путь актера. Это не первая его роль, но новый персонаж для него и сделан им на ура. А второй ОСТ поет он. Как он играет голосом. Какие разные ноты... Это рай. Гончан - знаю и люблю этого парня давно и больше конечно как участника группы B1A4, а тут такая роль. Если вы смотрели внимательно, вы поймете насколько высокая проделана работа им. Спасибо всем за качественную и красивую работу. Я однозначно добавляю дораму в любимые, пересмотрю еще не раз и рекомендую смотреть вам. Единственное нам нужен второй сезон для развития второй пары. Химия была высокой, желаю всем такой в вашей жизни.

Worth Watching

It is true that the show had many flaws, but I would say it is worth watching. Yes, they had a strong build up for the second couple, but we are left unsatisfied as we are unsure if they end up together. As for the main couple, the kiss scenes were indeed lacking passion. However, since the story builds into this stressful scenario where all the worst things that could happen do, seeing the efforts of Ji Won Young to attempt to save the relationship was very touching. Even though there aren't a lot of romantic scenes, it does make me admire the small things they do for each other, and the hugs that Yoon gives to Ji was the most comforting and warm-hearting scenes that I have seen.

A slow burn, but worth sticking with!

The start and premise really intrigued me, but it was a very slow story and character development, so I got bored and left after episode 5.
In a drought of content I came back, and plowed through another tedious episode, but p 6 really started to burn, and by 8 was sucked in.
The acting is constrained in true KBL style, and the kisses anemic, but KBL purposefully leaves a lot to imagination. So I was able to use mine to fill in the blanks.
The side story is really interesting, and could probably be a BL series on its own, they are so cute!
A nice tense finish ends this series and pits it in the top tier of my KBL

Simple yet heart fluttering series

The series was not rushed, which i loved very much because often we get very short episodes, so they rush the story and it gets confusing sometimes but it was not the case here. Their acting surpassed my expectations. Their chemistry was chemistrying. Every hug and stare felt real. No awkwardness at all. I am okay with the kiss scene because the story was too damn good. I would love to see more of the second couple though. This series will always stay my comfort series and it's hands down one of the best k-bl i watched. Thank you to all the actors. I would love them to work again together ❤❤❤❤❤

Short And Sweet

There's A Few Concepts I Really Love About This Show. It Wasn't A Typical Kisses Someone Else Show. It Reminds Me Of The Japanese Style Of Cute Boy Love. It's Simply Love Nothing Less Nothing More. It Wasn't Over The Top With Drama. The Couple Is Just A Couple. There Wasn't Alot Of Dark Moments It Was Sugary Sweet. So If Your Looking For Something Light And Cute This Is It. I've Seen A Lot Of Boy Love And Its Always The One's I Don't Expect That End Up Drawing Me In. I Liked It Alot. It Has A Way Of Keeping Your Eyes On The Show. It's Impossible To Stop Once You Start!
