Encontre o Ponto (2022)

What a rare gem

I didn’t know anything about this drama, but the trailer seemed really steamy and it was already late at night and I was in bed with husband, so I thought what the heck? Could it be another version of Nevertheless? This is so much better.

A mini-drama about being in relationships and what it means to be in a healthy relationship, but not to be confused to a typical or abnormal relationship. Meaning, all of us have different forms of preferences and that is okay.

I was really surprised to find this kind of K drama, I was wondering if I was watching something American. There are explicit scenes of people having sex and nudity, so go with that in mind. Even though the rating is for adults, I really enjoyed the main story about the two women.

They are two best friends who couldn’t be more opposite. One is very open about sex and the other is in a long term relationship with a jerk of a boyfriend. I liked each person’s storyline and I liked how different they were.

The pacing and timing of the show is just right at 30 mins each and only 8 episodes. I know it’s fairly short, but you really don’t want to watch an hour’s worth of people doing it right?

It’s also an informative show, that talks about various issues that surround sex and how people handle them differently. All and all, a very adult show with adult themes, but a good story that surrounds the explicit rating. It’s worth watching if you are comfortable with that.

wow

it's not just a soft porn as it's said in comments.....
1.put urself first
2. communication is the key
3.life goes on. having a break up, break down won't last forever there's a way out of it
4.don't hesitate and give it a chance!
5.women need and want sex as much as men do
6.don't lower ur standers

personally
8 episodes is enough but needed more sex scenes between the leads i'll never be tired of watching them
sex without love isn't intimated and i felt the chemistry between both leads and it turned me on! i felt alive lol it's been awhile since I've felt horny
every kdrama i watched so far they wear like celebrities even poor characters but in this drama they seemed... normal people. (i'm not so sure if they're low on budget lol)
i liked that everybody is mature and not the typical shy awkward fl who doesn't have a personality

Wow!!!

Me encantan las series de romance y romcom, pero siempre quedo con ganas de ver pasión entre los personajes… siempre son 5 besos tibios en toda la serie y nada más.
Acá es completamente distinto. No solo muestran relaciones sexoafectivas responsables, sino que además muestran acción entre las parejas. Celebro eso, al fin! Increíbles los caps 7 y 8.
Al principio la serie puede parecer que solo trata de bajar línea sobre un mensaje feminista, pero eso va perdiendo protagonismo con el correr de los capítulos.
Sí o sí la voy a ver de nuevo. Me hubiera gustado otro final, pero es fiel al mensaje de la serie.

Drôle et nécessaire

C'est incroyable de voir un Kdrama avec un tel sujet et traité de façon si fun et ouverte. La sexualité, surtout féminine, c'est encore tabou et je n'ai jamais vu un drama l'aborder ainsi. Je ne m'attendais pas à ce que ce soit aussi drôle, osé, et intéressant. Un casting au top en plus. Même si je regrette quand même la "propagande romantique" et le côté "je rentre dans le rang avec le bon homme" qui prend le dessus au final (davantage pour le personnage secondaire de l'excellence amie dont le personnage a été gâché pour moi) j'ai quand même passé un moment vraiment sympa.

Insolito ma ben riuscito. Audace (molto) per essere coreano. Abituati al sesso pervasivo degli spettacoli 'occidentali', la mancanza totale nelle produzioni coreane tipiche, a favore del romanticismo degli sguardi e dei gesti è, le prime volte, emozionante e coinvolgente. Ma il rovescio della medaglia è, dopo un po', il senso di irrealtà. In questa serie gli autori e gli attori riescono a creare un buon equilibrio tra sesso e romanticismo.
Cimentandosi in un genere nuovo gli autori hanno fatto centro, andando oltre la produzione di un soft porn per signore (che un po' c'è) . La demistificazione di una, spesso obbligata, sessualità femminile è affrontata con leggerezza, ma con precisione, così come la naturalezza e la legittimità del diritto femminile al piacere. Qualche volta si sfiora lo stile 'educazione sessuale' e qualche altra, in particolare nelle prime puntate, sembra che l'invadenza del merchandising, pressante in tutte le produzioni coreane, proponga qui nuovi tipi di 'caramelle Kopiko'. Ma il tavolino da caffè nel salotto della protagonista è mitico... Anch'esso un segno della leggerezza e dello humor che attraversa tutta la serie. Ottima anche la durata e il numero contenuto delle puntate. ...
( però, ancora, mi batte di più il cuore in quei drama in cui i due protagonisti, distanti un metro e mezzo, si guardano negli occhi in silenzio per 30 secondi e poi...lui/lei...)

Bringing the heat!

Very mature KDrama. Plot wise, it was refreshing to see a more open and mature discussion around sex and what that looks like for different types of people.

Some of the sex scenes (not the main lead scenes but small side character sex scenes) honestly dragged a bit too much so it just felt gratituous at times.

Overall, I enjoyed it. I liked that it was short and really enjoyed watching our two main couples and their HOT kisses and sex scenes. Gave a lower rating due to the last episode - the ending appears open ended but it pretty much leans on a HEA for the main couple which is good but then why did the writer have Hani's character end her FWB relationship with the writer over the excuse of wanting "time" for herself if that time just ended up being a mere month? Idk, it just seemed unecessary to have had the dramatics of her ending their friendship if she was just gonna get back with him so quick. But again, I took the ending as a HEA with her and In-chan getting back together so it's not certain.

Serie sorprendentemente audace che affronta un tema tabù in modo originale e schietto

Drama corto, ma di contenuto. E sicuramente insolito nel suo genere, poiché ci troviamo di fronte a una serie coreana decisamente NC18, sia rispetto alle scene che agli argomenti trattati. Scene spinte, sì, ma non fine a sé stesse o tanto per rendere più "piccante" la love story di turno. Occorre davvero andare un po' oltre la mera apparenza. Sul piatto il tema - ancora molto tabù - della sessualità femminile e una riflessione inevitabile sugli stereotipi associati. Al centro della scena, le due protagoniste, amiche, con situazioni divergenti: una che vive liberamente e volutamente senza impegni la propria vita amorosa, l'altra bloccata in una relazione insoddisfacente e nella quale non può essere veramente sé stessa, palesando desideri e bisogni, ma adeguandosi a ciò che il fidanzato si aspetta nella routine ormai preimpostata. Il programma che si trovano a condurre assieme sul tema è l'elemento destabilizzante: da lì la situazione evolve in modo molto diverso rispetto al pregresso. La prima incontrerà un uomo che vive la vita esattamente come lei ma dal quale, poi, sentirà per la prima volta di volere qualcosa di più di un incontro occasionale; la seconda intraprenderà un viaggio più profondo, alla ricerca di sé stessa e questo la porterà a sperimentarsi liberamente - nel dire, fare, manifestare - con uno psicologo della materia che, per assurdo, s'innamorerà di lei. Ho trovato molto equilibrato e corretto il finale, dove al di là che tra le due coppie si sia instaurato un sincero sentimento, nel caso della prima si è tradotto come l'avvio di una relazione che entrambi - lui e lei - non avrebbero mai messo in conto, mentre per l'altra amica l'happy ending non è coinciso con la nascita di una nuova coppia, bensì con la nascita di una nuova sé stessa, più determinata, sicura e vera. Giusto un accenno sul finale a far intendere che, se anche quello non era il momento e i tempi ancora non maturi, la possibilità di una relazione futura tra i due non era da escludersi, anzi. Complessivamente una visione che mi sento di consigliare, certo distante anni luce da ciò a cui il mercato ci ha abituati, ma proprio per questo di grande valore.

This drama is about two best friends suddenly being tasked with hosting a podcast about love and sex. Neither are really in a capacity to give professional advice, but they do lend a listening ear. On one hand, Mi Na only dallies with casual hook-ups, and is not looking for anybody for more than a romp in the hay. Meanwhile, Hee Jee is stuck in a boring rut with her longtime boyfriend, who cares more about what’s on screen than carrying an actual conversation with his girlfriend. Though neither of them feels jealous of each other’s situation, sometimes they wish to improve their love and sex lives.

In the eight brief episodes, we see both women grappling with the idea that there is more to life than just having meaningless sex, and comparatively, that they are not obligated to stay with one person just because it is easy and convenient. Change is a thing; yes, it could be scary, but the braver you are to explore what you truly want, the more rewarding your life experience will be.

Both Ahn Hee Yeon and Bae Woo Hee’s portrayal of these women come across as natural. The two male leads are not too shabby as well. I find the drama very refreshing as it tackles mature topics with candidness. I love how both female characters developed as individuals when exploring relationships outside of their comfort zone. The drama fearlessly delves into different perspectives on romance and sexual relationships that may not align with conventional values or beliefs, but are not deemed wrong or right, nonetheless.

Vergonha alheia está cá!

Foi giro ver a forma como a cultura coreana abraçou este mini mini drama (8 episódios de 30 minutos cada) sabendo o quão pudicos são e o quão tabu é o tema sexualidade para eles. Houve momentos em que só queria um buraco (juro que não foi propositado) para me enfiar à conta da tão famosa “vergonha alheia”.

O cast era hilariante! A Hani consegue pôr-me a rir sem precisar de se esforçar, os Malé leais eram AUTÊNTICOS PÃES, e o tema, para alguém que é bastante tímida (não parece mas sou), fez-me abrir (não as pernas!) mais um pouco os meus horizontes.

Pão #1: Como assim o Park Sunho esteve no Produce X 101 e não me lembro?!
Pão #2: Primeiro drama com o Choi Kwang Rok e apaixonei-me!

Romance Reimagined

I don’t know how to express exactly what I feel about this drama.

Usually, dramas with mature content like nudity and explicit scenes tend to fall into one of two categories: they either become literal corn without any plot, or the plot is so poor that it’s hard to watch. However, this drama doesn’t fit into either extreme. It’s neither overdone with excessive nudity nor underdone with a terrible plot. Instead, it finds a balanced middle ground.

For Korea, I believe this drama represents a significant step forward. I appreciate how it portrays sex as something healthy, rather than something to be ashamed of or looked down upon—a perspective often found in more conservative societies, including Korea. I learned a lot from this drama, especially about romantic relationships.

Both couples in the story were very engaging. One character transitions from a toxic, restrictive relationship to finding freedom, realizing she doesn’t need to rush into another relationship immediately after gaining her independence. The other character always sought freedom because she never felt secure, and her journey contrasts beautifully with the first character’s. This contrast effectively highlights the different dynamics of relationships, emphasizing that all types are normal. Importantly, the second female lead is not portrayed as promiscuous just because she didn’t have a strict, monogamous relationship. This nuanced depiction is refreshing and avoids negative stereotypes..

Unlike many K-drama that often stick to the same boring traditional romantic tropes, this drama explores the complexities of love and relationships that feel real and relatable. The inclusion of elements like HIV tests underscores the importance of sexual education, making the drama not just entertaining but informative. Overall, this drama feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s not perfect, but it leaves a lasting impression. It shows that a drama can be simple yet well-executed, with nudity as a component rather than the focus. The writer and director deserves commendation for creating such a memorable and impactful work.
