My Heart Is Beating

This is a good fantasy story with likeable characters, comedy and refreshing writing.

It's somewhat slow, but I think well paced. The highlights are the male friendships, the back and forth between the love interests when they first meet, that both leads have a decent character arc, and the representation of honest communication/relationships. The writers didn't rely on miscommunications for drama, and seemed like they were inverting a couple of tropes in a cool way.

Unfortunately this series does not wrap up in a satisfying way. There are several plot points that are resolved in kind of a rushed manner, and the endings for the main characters were just weird and didn't make sense really. Not sure what happened in the writer's room towards the end. It's tough to recommend a series when it ends poorly, because you do get really invested in characters. Still a fun watch I would say but not one I'd necessarily recommend sadly.

I love Taecyeon acting since Bring it on Ghost, so I really wanted to like this one!

The first half of the series held so much potential, drawing viewers in with its intriguing premise and captivating characters. However, the second half turned into a disaster.

The initial episodes were great and the characters were engaging, and their dynamics seemed to be setting the stage for a compelling narrative. Wasn't a huge fan of the female lead though, too much screaming for my taste.

But then, the drama took an inexplicable nosedive into chaos. The plot became convoluted, and the once-promising characters started making choices that were completely out of character and illogical. It felt as though the writers had lost their way, throwing in random twists and turns without any regard for consistency or coherence.

The pacing, which had been steady in the beginning, became jarring and uneven. Key plot points were rushed through, while other scenes dragged on endlessly, leaving viewers both confused and frustrated.

The ending also felt like a slap in the face to anyone who had invested time and emotion into the drama and was so unsatisfying that it left a bitter taste in the mouths of viewers who had been hoping for a rewarding payoff.

In the end, Heartbeat is a perfect example of how a promising start can be utterly squandered by poor execution. The dramatic decline from an intriguing beginning to a messy and disappointing mess makes it a prime example of what happens when a drama loses its direction and fails to deliver on its potential.

You missed half of your kdrama life if you don't get to watch Heartbeat. This is not your typical romcom drama. This is farway that "globally overrated" romcom this season that's too cheesy and unbearably cliched one. Heartbeat has that interesting plot, magnificent actors especially Taecyeon. He is just so amazing on this drama. This drama proves that kiss scenes are not necessary to make our feets curl. The comedic scenes made by taecyeon is so naturally delivered that shows how good his sense of humor is in real life. You'll gonna love him here I promise you. Check this one out, you will not regret it. And Taec here is so so gorgeous.

For some reason I don't get the sparks that the main leads should be showing, so overall it seemed flat to me. And the acting of the main lead actress somehow fell short to me.

Overall I'd give a low 6. Kudos to Taecyon to deliver a great performance in this series, will wait for your next project. And good job for Won JiAn considering it's her first main lead experience.

I read one of the reviews and couldn't agree more about the first half of the series showing potential, but the second half felt a drag and story plot just falling, I remember about skimming through so much just to get the end of it.

The beginning of the story, the comedy, the friendship, and romance are all great. The actors did a great job portraying their characters. Unfortunately, I don't see that there's much chemistry between the main male and female leads.

Also, I think Rose is prettier than In Hae. I think she would have been a better main female lead. Then again, that's just me. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say.

To go through all of the things In Hae and Seon Woo Hyeol did to finally feel what it's like to love and be loved, then for the them to end up that way is so disappointing.

It has a happy ending in some ways but it's not very satisfying.

If you want a complete and happy ending with closure, then skip this drama.

From the beginning until the end of this drama, the theme is, "to have loved and lost is better than to not have loved at all."
