You Are the Cream in My Coffee (2023)

Fraca demais

Essa história tem apenas 7 eps bem curtinhos, então não dá pra esperar muito. O problema é que mesmo esperando pouco, eu recebi menos do que esperei. Um roteiro que estudantes de cinema fariam melhor, muito fraco!
Uma das moças tem um café, e a outra por coincidência um dia entra e fica implorando para que a dona a ensine a fazer café, só isso já é bem sem lógica. A série claramente não tem um bom orçamento, é basicamente feita no mesmo cenário e apenas com as duas protagonistas, e até a funcionária que tinha nos primeiros eps foi com Deus. Talvez tenha sido o sucesso estrondoso de Gap the séries (1° série GL tailandesa), que inspirou outras obras, como essa, como Show me love, como a próxima de Love e Milk, mas o fato é que You are the cream in my Cofee não funcionou em nenhum aspecto. Nem mesmo a química existia para salvar os eps, não tem ost pq os eps são tão curtos que não dá tempo, não tem uma história a ser contada, não tem drama, não tem nada... Enfim, eu não assistiria de novo. Assista por sua conta e risco, mas eu não recomendo.

An Empty Can of Coffee in an Empty Coffee Shop...

This is the story about the girl who wanted to learn how to make great coffee... or more like got a crush on a barista so she used the oldest trick in the book "learning" to get close to her.

The girls are kind of sweet, and the chemistry is fine there is not a lot of plot, but there is som smooching and fluff. I gave it an extra 0.5 points for the fluff, but I guess it did not really touch me.

If you do watch it I would recommend you watch an episode a day without a big gap, as I thought it had 4 episodes but it turnd out to have 7 so I started it to early and got a big gap between the first 4 and the last 3 which I binged.

So as long as you prepare yourself for some fluff, cliche talk and not so much substance and all should be fine.

P.S There is nothing wrong with watching something that lacks substance.

Short & simple drama

Simple story about love. A short drama that sweet, fluff & just simple to fill your day. For the short drama I can say this has complete story, has beginning-middle-ending. The story itself not a complicated one, but still leave a footprint in your memory.

Story about a girl that like another girl. Maybe like shiro wrote: 'This is the story about the girl who wanted to learn how to make great coffee... or more like got a crush on a barista so she used the oldest trick in the book "learning" to get close to her.' But cause it's just a short drama, so we got no story from their family or you can say, anyone else. This just a story about 2 girls, how they start the acquaintanceship > friendship > courtship > being together.

One short drama that you can watch to fill you day...

Just the right balance of cute and relatable "new relationship" awkwardness.

If you love a good coffee shop romance, check this one out. The sound quality and pacing aren't always consistent, but it has its charm.

Admittedly, the acting and the script started out rather dry as the story struggled to pick up. Knowing this is a romance, the "annoying younger sister who makes herself a nuisance for attention" and "put-upon older sister" dynamic between Ava and Pun in the first few episodes didn't appeal to me very much. Thankfully, as the meaning of the series' title became clearer, their personalities grew to be more palatable - much like how, through repeated exposure and a dash of sweetness, even the most bitter of coffee can be enjoyable.

The bite-sized episodes seem to be the perfect length for the style of story they're trying to tell, but that does make the progression of the characters' relationship feel rushed, especially if you want to enjoy the pining before the payout. At least the little casual moments they share leading up to it give us an idea of how their feelings developed and I appreciate the real awkwardness between them as they build up to admitting their feelings. It hit me in a relatable way and I started to like how naturally they interacted with each other. I personally could have done without the "friend sussing out the new relationship" scene right afterward though.

Honestly, I don't think the last three episodes were necessary. They kind of dragged and milked that coffee metaphor for all it was worth, but I'd be lying if I said they aren't a cute bit of extra fluff.
