Fermentando o amor

This first two to three episodes weren't doing it for me. The start of the series is chaotic, supporting characters were annoying for me at first, and the plot felt over the top. I mean, beer isn't interesting to me at all. But I like Kim Se Jeong, and the premise of the show - what it means to not fit into the concept of normal and socially defined gender roles - was intriguing enough to keep me hooked. After all, beer and toxic masculinity kind of go hand in hand, it makes sense to choose this setting when you think about it.

Passing the first episodes, even the initially annoying characters started to grow on me, and the two main characters are just amazing: warm-hearted, a bit broken, likable, but not without flaws. I love a totally non-toxic, attentive male lead and a tough female lead (and I mean really tough, I totally believe the ex-Special Forces part, the way she dresses and walks gives her character real depth). All I need from a RomCom is, apart from good characters, some laughter and a heart pounding love story, and with an empathetic green flag male lead like this, your heart beats with his every time he looks at her. Honestly, the way he talks and observes and portrays feelings, Lee Jong Won delivers his hyper sensible character close to perfection. I like slow building romance, and for me, the pacing was perfect, and the kisses are worth the wait (which says a lot for a Kdrama, we all know that).

Rarely enough, RomComs portray healthy relationships with genuine care for each other and honest communication (or rather the necessity of honest communication in a relationship), and although some details could have been done better, I still enjoyed the love story after the two main leads got together. Their problems aren't forced; they make sense for the characters.

Still, even with only 12 episodes, the last two are a bit lacking. The main story about launching a new beer drags on too much instead of shifting the focus more to the character development and the ending. It's still a good watch, just not as intense as the middle part, with a few issues just glossed over.

I genuinely enjoyed the show, even though it's not perfect. The side stories balance out the plot well without overdoing it, and the love story delivers what I need from it. I love the two leads and their relationship, the portrayal of gender roles and how the show questions normality. With this in mind I can look over the less interesting main plot and the weaker first and last episodes and just enjoy watching the love story unfold.

It wasn't your typical romcom drama. It's healing, full of life lessons about relationship, family, people and work life and this drama ignites our emotions like a rollercoaster. You can laugh, cry, and feel the love all in one episode. The leads portrayed their characters perfectly. It doesn't feel like acting. Their expressions, emotions, intonation and body gestures are very natural and it reached us as the watchers. Just by looking to their eyes and voice, I can feel their sadness and happiness. This drama taught me better about love and communication with people especially to our beloved. Everyone should watch this drama.

The adorable Kim Sejeong plays Chae Young-ju who is an ex special forces soldier who now works in a brewery and is tasked with getting a brewmaster to work with and create a beer for her company. The problem is that the brewmaster Yoon Min-ju (Lee Jong-won) isolates himself from the world due to his extreme sensitivity to other peoples emotions. This is a gentle romantic drama in which we learn a lot about hops and the basics of beer brewing and the work involved. It has a strong supporting cast who all do a good job and has some amusing moments but overall it is just a gentle easy going drama which is watchable but not that memorable.

You may find the first two episodes rather slow because they introduce the characters. But trust me, it only gets better.

Kim Sejeong just proved she's a capable actress, and I never knew her chemistry with Jong Won would be so great. Not only serve looks but he is a whole green forest in Brewing Love.

The supporting characters also seem fun and make the drama more colorful. Although the storyline is about making beer, the way the PD develops the plot is beautiful. It shows how the characters fall in love and find comfort in each other's presence.

The series is only 12 episodes long, so please give it a try and enjoy the show.

So yeah I finished watching the drama just now and hereis my review fresh out of the oven!!!

This drama is definitely something new from the usual kdrama trope touching sensitive topics and what impressed me the most the ML definitely shattered all the hailed toxic masculinity he shows his weakness his emotions openly and that is not something kdramas show it is always the ML saving the damsel in distress but here oh mahn the FL is this strong woman who indeed saves the ML. The love story of our ju ju couple is simple and beautiful. No unwanted dramas and twists and turns, they solve their issues like matured couples and there is no cringe aigooo moments. They are one of the veryfew green flag couple's who support and rooot for each other.

The side stories of the supporting characters were also sweet and short and did not bore me. The story was also nice and simple a good slice of life story I liked it. The cast also gave a good performance.

So if you are in for a good slice of life feel good drama brewing love is a good one.
