Yu Reijeu Mi Eop

I finished this charming, short and precise drama last night (45 minutes each episode).

It is written in the content and in the title that it is a comedy, it is true that it has comedic situations, at the same time it touches on sensitive issues of body and mind.

(Impotence, society's/family's attitude to achievements, lack of self-fulfillment due to social judgment, and more) .

* It has healing and recovery, support and sincere and sensitive love.

.

* Great soundtrack (I've already downloaded it to spotify)

* Perfect casting and acting .

* I enjoyed it very much - I recommend it with love♥ . ♥♥

Nice radiohead intro and nice pink aesthetics but that's where the nice things end. The drama threw at you an enormous mixed emotional package that was never untangled adequately, not even remotely close. The shorter than usual runtime isn't an excuse, 7-8 hours should've been enough to deal with it. Nice radiohead intro and nice pink aesthetics but that's where the nice things end.

Called "Raise Me Up" this drama is so funny, sad and uplifting all at the same time. It is surprising that all of these 3 emotions can touch you so much, mostly through the ML Yoon Chi Yoon who plays Do Yong Shik. Wasn't expecting what the drama was about (a sensitive subject for guys - erectile dysfunction due to psychological reasons of being told he was not good enough in bed by his first love). I chose to watch it since it was on my watch list as a filler while waiting for something else since it was short and I was wrong to think that as it is a good stand alone drama that is much more than just a filler and glad chose it. I don't know who rates these dramas, but I think that PG-13 was not high enough for this adult subject and some of the scenes IMO.

There are many hysterically funny scenes - especially in the first episode to set the theme of the drama when he goes to the urologist for the first time after putting his embarrassment aside mustering up his courage. Later I felt so sad for example in scenes like when he was in treatment and was told to do swimming laps and being a grown man didn't know how to swim and he tried so hard you just felt for him and wanted to jump through the screen and teach him. Finally so uplifting when he starts to get his confidence back and others learn from him too.

Will the ending be "anti-climatic" or not? You have to watch to see the final. Gave it 9 stars because I felt the FL was just not quite as good as the ML as displaying emotions on the screen.

I will admit that I started watching this purely because I am a fan of Yoon Shi Yoon, but I was surprised at how down to earth and touching the story ended up being. For some reason, Yoon Shi Yoon tends to be type cast as these quirky, sad losers which is funny to me because he is clearly gorgeous, and in this show he is built like a brick house. However, that's all besides the point.

The show misses the mark in some ways, particularly in areas like the professionalism and code of ethics as doctors, but the story of Yong Shik is simple but relatable, lovely and rather well done. The realism of his mental illness, anxiety, and resulting psychosomatic symptoms was very well portrayed, and while the erectile dysfunction aspect was treated in a somewhat comedic way at first, the tone quickly became somber. Yoon Shi Yoon is incredible in displaying real emotion, and he didn't disappoint here.

I found the FL to be gutsy and likeable, and despite a few moments of distasteful character choices, I really liked her overall. The romance is built slowly and realistically, and they certainly had chemistry.

Supporting characters were nicely done as well, and the OST was pleasant if not memorable. I watched this with questionable/sub-par subtitles and was still able to enjoy it.

Overall this is an enjoyable, decent watch, especially if you are a fan of Yoon Shi Yoon. I hope in the future he gets to play some more confident characters!

Korean Drama "You Raise Me Up" had a comical prompt, but an emotional and heartwarming story.

The drama does a great job showcasing the main character's downfall and struggles to find himself again and raise his own self-esteem. And that is why the romance takes the passenger's seat and, even though it has chemistry and some cute moments, it's not the star of the drama. The pace was, in addition, just perfect, with few flashbacks and a smooth ending.

The performances were all great, finally, by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, 8 out of 10.
