Eye Love You

Wow that last episode left me with a huge smile, so sweet and romantic :) Sad to see all the bad reviews for such a moving show. Y'all CLEARLY need to stay in your Kdrama lane and let those of us who can enjoy an expansive world of dramas live and enjoy things! The main female lead, Yuri, wasn't acting any more abnormal than what plenty of actresses do in a really soapy soap opera in virtually any country. I'm no expert in Japanese acting styles, but her character can be compared to an anime character especially if you've seen any Romance or Romantic Comedy anime, the female leads frequently are portrayed like how this actress is portraying her character. Tae Oh, the male lead, is probably gonna go down as one of my favorite bfs ever, please he was adorable I'm in love! I don't understand the criticism of him, his character was well rounded, had a beautiful background story related to his mom, and had so many sides of him that were great on top of being a doting sweetie. The only thing I will admit is that Yuri is the kind of character you fall in love with by the end of the series as oppose to right from jump. After seeing her unconditional love for her father, her passion for her work and the environment, her friendships, and her love story you can't help but fall for her. This is a heartwarming, beautiful, funny slice-of-life show with a bit of mystery that makes it much more exciting. It's UNIQUE and not following a formula, you will love it if you appreciate creativity and a bit of whimsy.

I get that this TV series was aired in primetime, when youngsters are still awake to watch, I also understand the conservatism of east Asia's society. But the FL is 30 years old by her own admission and the ML is 26. I don't expect nor wish for raunchy, vulgar scenes. However when the two leads join lips in what couldn't even be called a peck. When the FL acts like a preteen, it detracts from the story, and insults viewers' intelligence. This is a woman who is a CEO. The ML is a PhD candidate. Then too make matters worse the ML's friend and colleague acts like he's in 5th grade. I couldn't finish the series. It was just too silly and childish.

This is super cute, so definitely not everyone's cup of tea. I wasn't expecting it but personally I loved the first five episodes, the rest are coming in later.

The reason why I enjoyed it so much is that basically I took it as an anime with human actors. It feels very cartoonish, how everyone's character is so exaggerated, and they all seem like cartoon characters. As well as the whole premise of being telepathic of course.

So anyways, the cuteness is exaggerated too, they have literally made the sweetest, cutest, nicest ML to ever have existed in any series, which reminds me of stuff I used to watch when I was a kid, and right now I don't mind it.

Bonus points, my two favorite languages in one series! My ears are in bliss.

Maybe this could have worked - despite the silly premise - but the FL hams it up to such an extent that your attention is distracted constantly.

She reacts to every situation with jerky head movements and over pops her eyes at every opportunity. She acts like a two year old in the cleaning up leaves scene and gets angry when she is hungry to a nonsensical degree. When she is eating she grins idiotically.

She is a terrible actress.

The story - if one can call it that - deals with the fact that although she can read the minds of others she can't read that of the ML. After first meeting him as a delivery boy - coincidence is stretched to the limit when he becomes an intern at her company.

For his part the FL is a pleasant enough character and acts with restraint and believability with the silly situation. Of course there is a third wheel in the shape of her boss who also seems to like her and a fourth one in a co-worker who is attracted to the ML.

This is candyfloss entertainment with no substance and no plausibility - don't expect anything and you wont be disappointed.

If you accept the premise of this series, it could be very sweet.

Yes, Yuki's character may be a bit overplayed by the actress, but I think Tae-Oh is one of the most charming characters I've seen. He's so encouraging and adorable that I melt. It's perhaps a bit too unbelievable that he ends up as an intern at Yuki's workplace - but again, if you accept the premise and view this series as very light-hearted entertainment, it can work.

I really enjoyed watching this series and loved the inclusion of Korean language, culture, and since I know some Korean myself, it was fun to hear Tae-Oh's thoughts in Korean - especially when I don't understand a word of Japanese like the other characters speak in the series.

There are far too few series out there where the main character falls in love with someone from another culture - there should be more of that, and I think this series is a sweet little contribution to that.
