Fermentando o Amor (2024)

Simply beautiful!

I have only just started this drama and I find it beautiful! The story simple but endearing. I love the leads and the exploration of their different personalities and the ways they handle their emotions. I really related to the male character lead. He is someone who is sensitive but isn’t weak. He is full of emotion and is truly kind and not afraid to be himself. In a world that tells people kindness and being full of emotion is weakness, this show depicts how beautiful it can be. I like how this drama touches on masculinity and how men who are a bit more on the emotional side, who are a bit more quieter are often seen as weak and not manly enough. Yet the female lead challenges this thinking. I also love how it shows her more tougher side but also showing the need for her to let go and be open and vulnerable with how she feels. I’m great full for a show showing true kindness, attentiveness and not stereotyping male and female personalities and characters. I’m excited to see how this drama evolves and how they bring out the best in each other. I know this drama may not be everyone’s cup of tea but this drama has truly impacted me, in the way they love and treat each other.

crying boss

When he’s boss was crying about their branch closing , I had to skip a bit because why does he cry like that 😭I couldn’t take him serious.I’m really enjoying it so far they’re so cute , really cute . I love how the male lead isn’t like your usual tough guy act male he’s so adorable and goofy.
I don’t know why I thought in the beginning they’d show her going to the doctor for the injury she got from episode 1 . The FL is so hard working and she really does our everyone above herself it does make me sad 🥲.


I’m rooting for Areum and Chan Hwi too they’re cute .

Romance without over the top drama and with actual character growth

A comfort drama through and through. If you are looking for intelligent dialogs, developed characters with feel good moments and lots of cliche, this is it. It’s Romance at it’s finest. Not murder-mystery, not fantasy. Just Romance. And like all good Romance, it makes us imagine and dream about what is possible and learn new things while at the same time hearing a story we have heard countless times. There were so many scenes that are examples of emotional maturity and development that make us feel proud of the characters and wish a little bit more of that in our own lives without leaving the feeling that is too “cookie-cutter,” or text book right. The characters are not perfect but they show up because they want to and that feels genuine and possible. The cast has chemistry and the main actress has perfected her acting style, whatever she does, regardless of liking it or not, it is obviously a choice, intentional. And if I had one word to describe this kdrama this would be it: intentional. Beautiful photography, beautiful script, beautiful chemistry, beautiful soundtrack. A 10/10. And I would hug it if I could. Be aware, this could be boring for you. I does not mean it is not good. There are no surprises, it is predictable in a meeting an old friend kind of way. The most surprising thing is actually the lack of an over the top, unnecessary and torturous drama based on misunderstanding. If you like that, maybe this is not for you. We actually see various examples of healthy relationships. I will definitely watch it again on a rainy day with hot chocolate.

Bière et réconfort...

Ce que j'aime avec ce genre de dramas, c'est qu'ils mettent du baume au cœur. Ils ne sont pas bourrés de drames ou de retournements de situations larmoyants. Ils ne plombent pas le moral, au contraire. Ils sont comme une bonne bière après une journée d'enfer. Frais, léger et particulièrement satisfaisant.

Kim Se Jeong apporte de la folie à son personnage, contrastant avec Lee Jong Won. La première est expressive au possible et toujours survoltée, tandis que le second est calme avec une profonde sensibilité. Leur relation est plaisante à suivre, même si j'ai trouvé Kim Se Jeong légèrement en-dessous, romantiquement parlant. Elle ressemblait plus souvent à une bonne pote qu'à une partenaire.
Il serait fou de ma part de ne pas mentionner le sourire de Lee Jong Won. J'ai toujours aimé voir les gens sourire. Cela dit, certaines personnes ont un sourire différent. Lee Jong Won est l'une d'elle. Je pourrais sans aucun mal revoir Brewing Love pour le sourire de Lee Jong Won.

Le couple secondaire tient également une bonne place dans l'histoire. J'ai apprécié revoir Baek Sung Chul dans un rôle plus sérieux, bien que son personnage reste en légèreté la majeure partie de l'intrigue. Shin Do Hyun était ravissante, mais j'ai trouvé les scénaristes un peu trop superficiels quant à son personnage.

Naturellement, l'histoire est simple, mais pétillante de mille et une bulles chaleureuses. Parfois c'est un peu amer, mais l'enveloppe reste douillette et mignonne. La plupart des situations mettent à l'épreuve les relations (amicales, sentimentales et professionnelles) sur fond d'un brassage délicat.

En bref, Brewing Love est une comédie romantique simple et efficace. Certes, les trois premiers épisodes peuvent sembler lourd en raison d'une comédie trop appuyée, mais une fois ces derniers passés, il ne reste qu'à se détendre un léger sourire aux lèvres.

Awwwwwwww

Such warm and fuzzy goodness. The leads were both super charismatic and lovable and I loved watching their relationship blossom. I appreciated their kindness, their strong communication skills, and the complete absence of contrived conflict. The beer stuff was handled in a way that was accessible to a teetotaler like myself. The direction was creative and I appreciated how the show used the beauty of the natural landscape and certain visual tricks such as animations and selective employment of black and white to enhance both the comedy and the emotional stakes of the drama. A few things were glossed over a bit too quickly or introduced haphazardly (such as the ML's past suicide attempt, the second ML's PTSD, the ML's father's change of heart vis-a-vis "proper" masculinity and displays of emotion) and the second couple's courtship initially felt random. A very satisfying finale that made me tear up. A sweet, warm puppy of a show that will charm the pants off of you.

Brewing Love: Here's what stood out (and what didn't)

So, I just wrapped up Brewing Love, and let me tell you, I have a LOT of feelings about this one. It’s a drama with a mix of romance, humour, and some emotional punches that kept me invested—but not without some head-scratching moments. Let’s break it down:

What I Liked:

1. Yoon Min Ju, the empathic brewer stole the show for me. His ability to feel others’ emotions while grappling with his own identity was such a refreshing take. His changing relationship with Chae Yong Ju was especially entertaining, whether they were bantering, arguing, or sharing heartfelt moments. Also, Oh Chan Hwi's over-the-top personality added so much energy to the show—it was impossible not to laugh when he was around.

2. Min Ju’s sensitivity and Yong Ju’s resilience as she fought to save the Busan branch. I loved how the show explored the struggles of being kind and compassionate in a world that doesn’t always reciprocate.

3. From the meddlesome but hilarious Young and Sook sisters to Chan Hwi’s chaotic yet endearing attempts to woo Bang Ah Reum, the supporting characters brought so much life to the story. The village scenes, especially, felt warm and inviting, with a true sense of community.

4. *The music was perfect for the story’s emotional highs and lows. The OST nailed the vibe every time.

5. Once Min Ju and Yong Ju's relationship blossomed, their chemistry was undeniable. That kiss in the mountains? Swoon-worthy.

What I Didn’t Like:

1. Ah Reum’s journey from a scheming opportunist to a sympathetic team player felt rushed and inconsistent. One minute she’s throwing Yong Ju under the bus, and the next, she’s crying about feeling inadequate. It was hard to root for her romance with Chan Hwi when her redemption arc didn’t feel earned.

2. The whole “Does Kang Beom have a crush on Yong Ju?” subplot felt unnecessary. It didn’t add much to the story.

3. Yong Ju’s tendency to act flustered or “cute” didn’t always land for me, and some of her emotional scenes lacked depth. It felt like the actress wasn’t quite the right fit for certain moments.

4. Jjuan’s ex-husband drama just “died down” after that one confrontation?

Despite its flaws, Brewing Love was an enjoyable watch. It combined heartfelt moments, quirky humour, and a fresh take on romance that kept me hooked. While some characters and subplots didn’t fully hit the mark, the show’s charm and strong leads made up for it. If you’re in the mood for something light-hearted but meaningful, give it a try!

Would I recommend it? Definitely, but with a heads-up about its minor hiccups.

Brewing love

I love Kim Sejeong - she is amazing singer (we got new OST song!!!) and actress - so of course I had to watch this. Her character is cute and badass, for many people mix of Do Hana and Shin Hari, maybe at the beginning, before we got to know her more. Chemistry as always is great. Lee Jong Won - it is first drama where I see him and he was really good. Baek Sung Chul - I know him from Once upon a small town (he safed it for me) - after shooting scene I believe that he would play perfectly some criminal or psycho and I need it to happen. Shin Do Hyun - I know her from Doom at your service, I also like her character here and chemistry with BSC was great.
I think that many people believed that it would be more similar to Business Proposal - it is also cute and light, but it is more like Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, we have cringe, cuteness overload but also some dark (BSC's past and trauma) and sad moments (grandma - eventhough I expected that).
Main point of this drama - outside of making beer - was to show how people hide behind masks, pretend to be happy when they actually want to cry and that they do not have to.
Personally I really like this and I think it is worth giving a chance.

Beer n Healing...

This is a story about a bunch of very different people brought together and brought down by the less fun sides of society... or something like that a show of opposites attract and united by barely and maybe wheat toasts.

The female lead is cool and fun to watch most of the time, she has a bunch of diffent sides to her : sweet, tough, hard working understanding, kind... But lets face it she is there to show a different way to be a woman

The male lead is soft n cold, sweet n fragile... and tries to show us the dangers of gender conventions and toxic masculinity.

The second couple is there to show family and flaws, playfullness and tthe dangers of fragile felinity.

And the third and fourth mains seem to balance between hetero and non hetero vibes without reaching the gay the whole way...

The amount of annoying elements, characters and slapstick contrast moments are a bit overwhelming at times but htey are not as bad as the preachy educational tone the drama gets from time to time reminding to stay away from any title that has the word healing amoung its tags. Seriously what was I thinking...

That said there is enough good in this and I did love enough of the characters to give it a 7,5 but if you too are allergic to healy preachy and annoying village people you should probably run away...

The Ultimate Beer Comercial!

This Kdrama is like your favorite beer! You know why you love it, ergo you know what you're gonna get, and in that, so you won't be disappointed!

It's not extraordinary or special, but it was a fun! It's not a surprise that Kim Sejeong carried the whole show, but the side-characters were good, too!

My biggest problem is that we only get 12 episodes, and we had too many storylines, like the one with the soldier boy. That could've been so much better, and honestly, it deserves its own show, but we only got like 1 episode worth of story overall, and they moved on from it pretty fast.

Not to mention the plot with our main guy and the life-saving incident. They didn't do anything with it. I'm not talking about the obvious and typical Kdrama trope, I'm talking about the reason he had to be saved. They completely ignored that!

The usual stuff, like the romance and the main plot is predictable, but if you expect something else, this isn't for you. If you watched one show like this, you know them all, but that doesn't mean you're not gonna enjoy it.

Overall, it was fun, but nothing more!
