Ma-i On-li Leo-beu-song

My Only Love Song is a funny, heartwarming series. I laughed and I cried as I watched this drama. I loved the lead couple and the chemistry between them was convincing. I too watched it from beginning to end, without pausing. If you want to watch a Korean drama that has heart, this show is the one for you. Kudos to all associated with this drama.

Not my first ever K drama but definitely my first ever most cherished one. It has the pull which made my smile intact all the way from first to the last episode and left me craving for one more serving. A cast you can't help but fall in love. A lead pair who are made for each other. All in all, just go for the fun ride. Its worth spending few hours to watch this beautiful creation. Lee Jong Hyun and Gong Seung Yeon, I am going to follow you two all the way. Love.

This show is seriously funny, especially the first half, so... Drop in!

I had just watched Live Up To Your Name-7.6 which involves time travel to/from the Joseon period, so redundancy was a concern. Turns out, there was no need to worry, tee-hee.

There's nothing novel about entertainment features that portray time travel to a romanticized past era, anyway. Not only is the contrast between different cultures fascinating, but the fact that people are the same, no matter the circumstances, resonates.

Did I say fascinating? Not on this show. This show displays that the differences are HILARI🤣US.

What's so funny, you ask? Driving a big van through a cramped Joseon shopping district- after beheading the "monster" (the van) didn't work. Pulling out a 99cent lighter and causing panic. Teaching the Joseans "2 thumbs up👍🏽," drinking games, or slang. Fine, it's all been done before, but this show reaches into the backseat and pulls out the laughs. It's all giggles until a misplaced history book almost wipes out Korea entirely. Oh my. What should we do?

The van, Bong-Bong, is the most intelligent of the characters. Bong-Bong clearly has an agenda, and drives the plot, ahem.

Speaking of characters, we have the petulant actress, the greedy flimflam artist, the Mute Ninja who communicates with his mind, the escaped princess, the villain (a narcissist in full bloom), and more.

I loved this corny little show. The episodes are all just 30 minutes, so each one is its own brief escape. Bong-Bong may take me anywhere. Let him (yes, Bong-Bong is a male, even though On-dal calls him 'my lady' throughout) anyway, let him take you through 20 fun filled episodes. You won't want to return!

You have reached your destination.

Our story begins telling the 'greatest love story' of Princess Pyeonggang and OnDal. We then cut to modern day, on a film set, creating a new take on the old love story. Soo-Jung is starring as the princess, however when something is changed in the script and she doesn't know about it, she throws a huge tantrum. And so we are introduced to our main character; a stubborn and easily provoked actress, known as Korea's 'top star'. Due to certain events she drives off in her car and is magically transported back to the past into the time of the Princess and OnDal, and must figure out how to return to the present whilst trying to deal with love and war.

The best thing about My Only Love Song was definitely the characters. Soo-Jung, OnDal, Sam-Yong, and Il-Yong were all hilarious. A few of the characters I found annoying were the princess and the two guys who fawned over Il-Yong but overall the characters were great. The flashbacks in the final episode really showed how much the characters had changed over the course of the series, especially Soo-Jung, which was enjoyable to see. Soo-Jung (Seung-Yeon Kong) was the sassy main character, and although she's a terrible person, in the first few episodes at least, you just can't help but love her, especially when you start to peel away her tough exterior. Sam-Yong is the small innocent character that just needs to be protected and he' so cute. OnDal seems cocky and sure of himself, but he's actually very lonely and needs support. Il-Yong, the antagonist, is ridiculously in love with himself and a bit of a wimp but he's still twisted and sadistic.

The plot I thought was fairly original, as I personally haven't seen any time-travel K- Dramas myself. A few plot twists occurred throughout the series, although not all of them made sense and were not really explained. The best by far though was near the end when we discover the truth about the OnDal in the story and everything clicks into place! It also keeps you guessing which character will end up with who, and there is plenty of laughs and tears to be had along the way. The scene with the flowers and 'apologising in advance' is by far the cutest and will rip your heart out with feels. Because I'm a nerd and did some research about the original story about the princess and OnDal afterwards and I love that they kept so many details the same, for example, OnDal was known as 'the idiot' or 'the fool', so the show subtly referenced this by having Soo-Jung call him 'dumb OnDai' lots, which I thought was cool.

Other things: I was surprised by the special effects as they were very inconsistent. One minute they were really great and looked amazing and the next I was crying with laughter at how shockingly bad they were. The music was average, it didn't particularly stand out for me. I really like the whole design of both costumes and setting, I don't know how accurate they were but they were very aesthetically pleasing, especially the natural locations such as the huge river with the rocks.

Overall, My Only Love Song is a fun and dramatic K-Drama, the only real downside being a few plot inconsistencies. If you're a K-Drama fan it's definitely worth watching but if you're new to K-Drama then you might find it a bit weird and want something a little more normal to ease you in to the genre.

Hi, I saw two movies of this beautiful lady, I had to skip some of the scenes, because she screams a lot, doesn't she know the difference between being angry, screaming, screaming, and being bossy?!!

Screaming is a headache for me as I watch it in the original language! That's why I removed the like from the art of female dishes! They either scream or play the role of a weak and crude woman where the woman is strong!! The definition of a good woman in Korean movies is incomprehensible! Just as a bad woman is incomprehensible and incomplete.

I like Korean films but unnecessary tv series are toooooooo long and one of reason why, they get bad reviews!

It's breaking first rule: 1- logic because number one is most important rule of storytelling.

I know because I am also in this industry.

Thank you for your hard working effort.

With sincerely.
