Plus que de simples amis

Yes when i was start to watching this drama i feel that this is romantic drama but watch 3-5 ep. I know vibes of the is not good (feels like iteawon class) mentality unhealthy. But it is not that bad or good. I mean the way girl lead do things is not good to watch ( but off course in real fife this happens) like 1 accident 2nd lead opportunity shoulders for cry then main lead comes back to his sentence yaaaahhhhh!!!! Ep8-15 my heart feels like it breaks and it fell so bad to me, these episodes need more content and story telling. Finally I enjoy this drama 6.5/10 bing watch. Lastly one thing they lack so much is in there friendship means seriously drama name is abour friend and friendship is not that good.

I actually like this drama quite a lot. I was hesitant for the amount of negative reviews the drama had and It took me time to just go for it and watch it.

I do agree with the fact that the story is a bit repetitive and gets a bit tiring because it makes you feel it's predictable, but I still believe it is worth watching it.

The characters are written in a realistic way and the chemistry and sweet moments are very enjoyable to watch.

It also shows parts of Korea, neighborhoods and areas trough very beautiful pictures and the poetry of the texts, writes and calligraphy made by the main female lead. I thought the show was very creative.

I recommend this show to be watched , you won't regret it.

I found this drama to be quite engaging to the least and perhaps the fact that it was not a typical romantic drama of a very strong writong but it was still enjoyable to watch. I loved how characters played their roles in such an organic fashion that it felt so real, they were growing altogether as every episode went by. I got to experience a collaboration of beauty, romance, photography, calligraphy,relationships and finally reality-life itself and that will be my takeway from this drama, just how beautifully everything was intertwined together and separately at the same time. I am so happy I chose to watch this drama, will cherish this one for quite some time :-)

After 6 episodes there isn't enough development in the plot. Just one missed meeting after all this time. She likes him he says he doesn't like her but then gets jealous when someone else does and still wants to be friends. He isn't happy that his divorced parents are getting along. Not a likeable character. The lead actors have been better in other series Ong in At 18 and Shin in Meow The Secret Boy. Plus the supporting characters are dull. If it doesn't speed up I will give up.

I've watched this entire series through to the end because I'm learning Korean, and it was definitely helpful in at least teaching me the phrases of "I like(d) you" and "I love(d) you" which are repeated throughout the show ad nauseum.

The show isn't all bad. I enjoyed the photography and the calligraphy depicted in the show. The side story of the young woman born poor with the boyfriend who would do anything for her is empathetic at least. There were some genuine touching moments in that regard. There were some nice comedic moments as well, but they were too seldom.

So, what isn't there to like about this series? It romanticizes toxic relationships/infatuations to the point where the viewer has to question why anyone would put themselves through 10 years of self-loathing wondering why the other person doesn't like them back.

I honestly could not root for the main couple let alone a love triangle that forces the male lead to confess his feelings due to jealousy. Even to the end, you can see how toxic the main relationship is, and it is disheartening.

I know there is still some taboo in Korea to discuss psychological and/or emotional problems. Perhaps, if they focused more on their personal growth apart, I would have found the series more engaging. For those who want to just cheer on an ill-fated Kdrama relationship, you can take a stab at this show. Thanks for reading.
