Comme un film

I love kdramas and I have seen the main leads in other shows and I know they have great potential However, it seemed wasted on this show, the main reason was it missed opportunities to further develop the characters, and needed more action from them. The emotions didn't translate as well and couldn't connect on a deeper level with them, needed a narrative of who they all were in the past. Parents death, brother suicide, relationship broken (this did not need so much air time) - do we/can we fix this or move on? Poorly executed.

To sum it up, they all felt like walking at the same speed - and couldn't tell them apart. Would have liked to see stronger reactions, timings at key points but it was too slow towards the final 5 episodes. Started well then crashed.

A shame as I love the cast.

I am a huge fan of K-Drama and I love Park Bo-Young and Choi Woo-Sik so I expect a really good drama. But until the last episode, I found that this Drama was so boring and the storyline was a disappointment. I still don't get the wounds and the trauma that the lead characters have were so hurtful to them. Well, I guess I have been through more than them, that's why I cannot relate to it.

The chemistry between the leads was awkward, I felt cringed when I saw the kissing scene.

A few episodes before the end were so boring and brought me to push the speed 1.8x button. I still finish it since I love Park Bo-Young's acting, especially in Daily Dose of Sunshine. I was disappointed she chose this horrendous project.

After reading the 10/10 reviews I am left wondering if those who left the reviews watched the same movie or were friends and family since it wasn't my experience. I was really looking forward to this series and even though it started out slow, it kept my attention early on thinking... this is surely going to get better. Unfortunately, it slowed mostly towards the last few episodes and left me feeling depressed and bored wanting to skip sections. I found the acting wasn't the problem, it was the delivery of the story line and the lack of realism in the characters interactions. There is sections of just them getting on with work and life which was didn't really develop the relationships of the characters and it was very boring. Gyeom didn't speak about his family problems with Moobi as normal people would to promote understanding. Sijun walked all over Jooah to get what she wanted and he just acted like a depressed puppy and unrealistically he let her. Unfortunately I can't get my time back but I can without a doubt say that I regret not turning it off sooner. It just didn't improve. Maybe I'm just not into depressing, sad, slow shows but that's the only way I can describe it, all the way through. There is no feel good, no realistic character development and it's a shame since the story line could've been so much more. I would rather watch paint dry than watch this series again.

I just did not find the show intriguing at all. It's supposed to be a romance, at least that's what they showed in the beginning. But as the show aired further they changed it's direction towards the brotherhood and his hyung's challenges?? Also all of it was pretty boring tbh.

What i did love was the second ml couple. They had the angst, the tension, the perfect amount of drama to their love story. Absolutely loved them in comparison to Gyoem and Mubee, who had with nothing going on between them. The aesthetics of the show was pretty insane tho .

I am disappointed that's all i'd say. Too slow and not executed properly!!

Yet another K romcom that has as much sex appeal as a bathtub full of rubber duckies.

Which is what to expect when the emotional intelligence EQ of the 2 leads has remained at elementary school level. What's with these endless coy K dramas that keep the leads in arrested development for the whole show and likely their whole lives?

How can the titular film director expect to do more than make insipid "melo lite" movies when her romantic experience is nil? And same question goes for the film critic boyfriend who has no life experience other than a sick brother and an emotionally stunted best friend - he's going to be a popular film reviewer?

This may be the first time I've seen a K drama when the second leads have a more interesting and believable relationship than the stars. Not that their relationship had a lot of insight or maturity either but at least they had some growth and realization. The leads? I doubt they will ever have kids because they haven't discovered the meaning of passion and sex. Children forever who only have a modicum of careers because the writers gave it to them.

The show had promise until about E5 and then it just went into stalled car mode for the rest of the movie. Even the tragedy that happened was barely addressed and didn't show any growth or deeper connection for the leads.

5 stars for the first 5 episodes.
