The Third Charm

I just watched this drama in Netflix. In early stage looks like typical romantic comedy, then turn out a dark, frustrating psychological tragedy.which is boring and tiring. I always like to watch Esom, and she was really good in this drama as well. In supporting roles, Park gyu young and. Lee Yoon ji deserved very big applauds. Editing is so complex, sometimes Iost totally. To many repeats, to many clichè acts...But i like the songs especially the Rap one in last episode. In last few episodes the leading male character's mood and behaviour made the people frustrate I guess And it was really boring. Anyway, this is another ordinary k-drama. If you still did nit watch, that is OK. No worries. You didn't miss anything.

You may mostly enjoy this drama if you have ever been a hopeless romantic with the craziness level of at least 8 out of 10. It will probably make you cry a lot or feel that pain again which you may have forgotten.

I would suggest watching during a weekend or when you have enough time to binge watch the series. It gets heavier and heavier, so make sure you are prepared for it.

Avoid watching this if you were expecting a feel god romantic comedy. It mostly made me feel sad and depressed, but not all dramas can do that either; so it could still be something worth experiencing. Depends on your taste.

It could have been fewer episodes as I started loosing the emotional connect after episode 12. But if you watch 12 episodes, you may as well watch all of them.

It is excellent, the protagonists are excellent too. I've liked very much a male role different. The series is underrated. The problem is that's too much "realistic" to be comedy. This is a drama about a romance, the persistence of jealousy and insecurity problems that both protagonists show, seem like they are teenagers rather than contemporary adults. The audience is not prepared to see such kind of existential confusion. As said, is not a romantic series with an easy happy ending. Thus, when the public read confident the description and its categorization as such "comedy" and "romantic"... it seemed as a huge disappointment and disrespect, of course!

This was a surprise as it was the reverse of the usual K drama where the beginning is strong & the writing tends to weaken towards the end. I thought by the beginning this was going to be a fairly light, predictable romcom. I didn't even want to see how they met & that perm off his. But the second half of the series proved a bit more challenging with the subject matter - illness, death, guilt, mental health crises. I cried in parts which is a bit unusual for K dramas. The ending was not all neatly tied up. I didn't mind that as it was a departure to the everything works out scenario.

I got interested in this due to the ML, Seo Kang-joon, who I enjoyed in When the Weather is Fine. He has a certain presence about him. I thought the FL became stronger towards the end.

I particularly enjoyed the role of the friend from the salon, but the plastic surgeon looked like he had had too much work done & was a bit expressionless. The sister character was quite offensive how she treated her partner. Why do strong females have to become male versions?

I watched it to the end & felt that the mental health issues were dealt with realistically.

I don't know if the manhwa is that bad, but this drama's story was. It was boring and had nothing new to offer. The love story in the first episodes was really promising and cute. The drama in the last episodes was interesting and thrilling. However, the middle part and the very last episodes were disappointing. I really wish that the plot matched the great performances from the actors. So, four out of ten.
