Radio Romaenseu

I tried to finish this drama, I really did, because I love So Hyun, but after twelve episodes I couldn't do it anymore. I have no criticisms on her acting, but it's hard even for someone like her to feign emotion for someone as stale and emotionless as the male lead. Not only that, his character wasn't likeable, and the story wasn't very compelling, side characters not that interesting. Not the worst thing I've ever watched, but not for me.

The drama is soft, bright and seem like a healing drama. While Korea now is full of dramas with serious plot twist and some people might call this drama is boring but i dont think so. The drama's background is around a radio center and each episode of the radio give you a story and a quote that help you overcome your pain or your sorrow. The quote can bring you a whole new day full of positive energy. And the chemistry between the characters were good too, both the main and the supporting ones. If you are tired of those mind-blowing move and need one to recharge and refresh your mind, then Radio Romance is ideal choice.

I really don't think the rating here is fair to this series. I enjoyed watching it and it had some really lovely moments and some really lovely lines. And I have to mention the Starlight track which I think is really gorgeous and fun to listen to! I rated this series an 8/10 and I've watched over 40 KDramas! Worth watching!

After seeing many Kdramas, I had to give this one a mere 6. As others before me has already said, no chemistry between ML and FL, no real affect shown. Plus, both leads are kind of stiff, stilted.

Quite upsetting also that highly disfunctional behaviours are glorified and excused: aggressive attitudes, manipulative parents, self-centered actresses can use good people to reach their goal, and be forgiven in the end.

Some problem with hairstyles: FL after the first episodes shows debasing hair that doesn't make her shine. ML suddenly from red hair passes to black ones and the effect is weird.

Younger versions of ML and FL show no resemblance at all with their adult counterparts.

A little more effort would have benefitted the show.

Radio Romance is a sweet romance surrounding a radio program and a troubled actor. I really enjoyed the story, it was simple but compelling, and the radio side story was very interesting.

I thought Yoon Doo-Joon did a great job, especially at the beginning with the way he was holding back his emotions; his eyes were so communicative and lots of little micro-emotions conveyed so much. I do wish that later in the series we had gotten some more open and genuine emotions from him but I suppose it was true to character that we didn't.

I thought that the ML and FL were good for each other, and despite a rocky start, they were overall a mature and cute couple. That being said, I personally felt zero chemistry between the actors. The 2ML had a bit more chemistry with the FL but not really in a romantic way either.

The side characters were interesting and eccentric which was fun to watch. I enjoyed the wide variety of music played in the show as well.

Overall this was a decent one time watch that I enjoyed, although it probably will not be very memorable.
