Grundkurs wahre Liebe

When I read that this series was coming, I was truly excited. Touch Your Heart is my all time favorite KDrama. While everything about that show was great, it was Yoo In-Na's acting - her interpretation of her role - that was genius and made the show truly special. Could she pull it off again?

And I was not disappointed! Once again, she was the true driving force behind a series and elevated it to be as good as it possibly good be. Her ability to communicate emotions. The uniqueness of her expressions and the inflections of her voice... Amazing. Thanks to the those who cast her as Deborah!

I fee a bit like a broken record, because Kdrama acting is often so good, but I just have to say it. Everyone cast in this series was phenomenal.

Yoon In Na... Well, I've said it. She makes this story shine and we feel for her throughout the arc of the story.

Yoon Hun-Min as the male lead was so good. Dang, watching his character was so frustrating! So obviously he nailed the role and made it believable no matter how unbelievable it could have been.

Hwang Chan-Sung's role as the ex. I hated his guts! His acting sparked the feelings we were meant to feel.

Park So-Jin was sooo good in Sh**ting Stars.** And she was fantastic here. Her portrayal of a women in a listless marriage truly had our sympathy. I hope to see here as a lead in series to come.

Let's hope we see so much more of Kim Ye-Ji. She is so cute and really did well in what I think is a difficult role - both strong and unsure of herself at the same time.

The story: Once again the Koreans' writing craft is so amazing. This was a tightly woven tapestry of multiple couple's evolving relationships. There was not a dull minute for my wife or I and we could not wait for each new episode. As the story was coming to an end I could not believe we had seen 13 episodes already and we were almost done. No feeling of, "This is starting to drag and I need to fast forward" in this series! I know we won't get it, but Season 2 please!

My one complaint is that at key points, the Male Lead did not communicate and it was just hard to believe. I am sure there are people who are, in a sense, broken like that. But he was given so many chances... Yeah, I know it can happen, I was pretty much that screwed up when I was young. But watching it drove me nuts! Then again, the story had me locked in so the writers obviously know what they are doing. :-)

Watch it!

Watching this without any expectation since got none to watch. Suprisingly got hooked up since eps 1. The story is so relatable. The actresses and actors are amazing, especially Yoo In Na as Bora. She perfectly potrays her role, as if the part was made just for her.

The drama is lovely, fun. There are sadness in the beginning and sometimes embarrassing too but so relatable in life. Nothing is boring here, the story flows nicely.

I read the rating is low in Korea and i don't get it. But i guess international audiences likes it a lot, so it get good rating. A must watch if you are into romance comedy.

Deborah played beautifully by Yoo In-na is a dating coach who gives advice on relationships through her books and radio show. She seems to have a perfect life but it all falls apart when she finds out her rich boyfriend who she thinks is about to propose to her is actually cheating. It is a true to life story with experiences most of us can relate to with how pathetic we can become when our romantic life falls apart. A well acted drama with a good supporting cast who show off different relationships at different stages and the every day struggles people go through in deciding what's right for them.

VERY Fun to watch, the ML and FL did an awesome job, the supporting case did a great job too, which makes it a very wholesome watch. Sojin i love you! Dont watch it alone IF ur in a relationship, watch it with your partner, with a glass of wine in hand. You will not only get a LOT of laughs, you will also get to discussing things you never knew you wanted to talk about, but which mattered to either of you. I am so glad that Yoo In-na is getting full on FL roles now. It was interesting to see a Korean drama take on older man younger woman relationship, given how korean society is still conservative in a lot of areas, shows how kdramas are maturing.

Don't give up on Ep. 1, sensing just another feminist, man-slamming drama. Tables are about to get completely flipped in a sensational retraction of Deborah's personal philosophy. The raw emotion of it all is pretty un-Korean, but transcendental of both sex and culture - that truly unites the World. How one gets up from Life's sucker-punches is what makes this drama so fascinating. The fact that all the male characters in are tongue-tied and feeble ought to be a problem, but it is astutely resolved here by over-loquacious but equally vulnerable females devising the four couples. Role of "woman scorned" is performed to perfection by glamorous actress, Deborah (Lee Soo-hyeok), who casts a big shadow on all around her. The scenes, dialogue, and episodic layout here have been intricately planned in a very intelligent drama. If only producers could give audiences more like this.
