Love on a Single Log Bridge

Korean Drama '' Love Your Enemy '' is a romantic comedy about misunderstandings and second chances.

The drama has a weak first half that tries to make a successful love triangle, and fails to do so, tries to be funny, but ends up being cheesy, and tries to create tension between the two main characters, but they end up making them annoying.

And yet, the second half was great, funny enough, sweet enough, and romantic enough. The family drama was enjoyable, the mood was light, and the past story, which was what shone in the first half, had a smooth conclusion in the end.

The performances were, in addition, great by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, six out of ten.

Loved the young ML, he is a breakout star! I want to see him in other movies! Wonderful actor and easy on the eyes! Give him a lot more work!

Not much chemistry between the older leads, ML did good but the female lead only had a lip snarl for everything! I let it all slide and did not take off points because of the wonderful young ML.

The wardrobe of the older FL was horrible! She even wore a jacket in the house over other frumpy clothes. Is she anorexic that they had to layer clothes to cover up or she have bad legs? I know she was an PE teacher, but come on, actresses can do better! Even when she supposedly got dressed up she wore what look like a man's suit? Very poor choices! And even on the publicity shot with the other actors, she still had on the weirdest outfit? I think she wanted her clothes to look like that! Ruined the movie for me. Whole thing could have better!

This show was a surprise for me, I expected some romance and comedy, or even the typical Romeo and Juliet plot, but it had more.

I can say for sure that I enjoyed it to the fullest, it made me cry, laugh, cheer, and sometime insult some characters, but the sure thing, it made me enjoy my time, so watch it, it will be good.

As the title of this review says - this drama at times almost felt real. It makes you think back to those moments you maybe bickered with that "arch nemesis" constantly but maybe you had deeper feelings than you thought. The drama plays on two old ideas, "keep your friends close, but your enemies closer" and children when they're young often pick on those that they like the most.

I thought the plot was interesting and like the rivalries among all the different characters - from the ML and FL to their families, to their friends. I like Jeong Yu Mi as the female lead and want to see more of her in romcoms and roms. While the actors are on the older side, it's refreshing to see leads that are a bit more mature.

Highly recommend if you want something easy to watch - it may just take you down your own memory lane.

Love Your Enemy is one of the Korean dramas that achieved high ratings at the end of 2024. Apart from being played by two senior actors, namely Jung Yu Mi and Ju Ji Hoon, it also presents a love story with a general theme but packaged in a refreshing and entertaining way. Apart from that, this drama tells a lot about the high school life of the two main characters. The author also admired the character's continuity between the present and the youth, with equally good chemistry. Oh Ye Ju (playing the character Yoon Ji Won) and Hong Min Ki (playing the character Seok Ji Won) succeeded in playing important roles, because the situations that occurred in their youth made the situation that is happening now understandable, including the hatred that feels reasonable because it once existed. Deep heartbreak.
