Confused In Love In
Dramaworld
While taking a break the previous
month, to catch up with my assignments and internals, a lot of dramas were
still accompanying me. And all of them were rom-com or focused on love dramas.
In a previous article of mine, I have mentioned I like watching Stree Free Rom-Coms to take the stress off a bit, but the range of dramas I went through
the previous month, was a strange mix of good, bad and weird.

The Good:
 |
| https://mydramalist.com/54335-my-small-indeed-fortunate |
➽This is one of those dramas
anyone interested in the Rom-Com genre would immediately like.
➽A childhood friendship developing
into a sweet romance
➽A sweet and swoony couple, plus
points for making them neighbors
➽Both leads have separate
prominent lives, other than pursuing each other
➽The Second couple is equally awesome;
you would root for their love story along with the leads also.
➽The fun factor is balanced well
along with the romance
➽Would definitely take your stress
off and make it to my next stress free rom-com list recommendation.
Please Don’t Date Him (K-Drama)
 |
| https://mydramalist.com/62539-please-don-t-meet-the-man |
➽Another sweet drama with bits of childhood
mysteries
➽The female lead is really cool;
the male lead is equally sweet
➽Would make you reflect on the
excess use of mobiles and other electronic gadgets at one hand, and advantages
of using them on another hand
➽Could have eased up a bit on the
secret spy stuffs
➽Plus points for being a short
drama (10 episodes)
The Bad:
Lovestruck In The City (K-Drama)
 |
| https://mydramalist.com/65277-love-way-of-urban-man-woman |
➽One of the big named drama airing
this year, and one of the worst drama I have seen in a while.
➽A two liner story had been
stretched across 17 episodes drama, only making the male lead having a no self-respect
and a clingy mess with alcohol problems, the female lead just becomes plain
selfish in order to find herself.
➽The other characters and
relationships have no real impact, same with the friendship. Everything felt
forced.
➽Could have been a better show, if
made into a short drama of 4-5 episodes.
➽Watched only for the cast, and
regretted every minute of it.
➽Better to rewatch Healer and
Descendants of the Sun
 |

➽A mix of Boys over flowers, Heirs
and Gangnam Beauty.
➽A compilation of all kind of
typical rom-com scenarios across all dramas.
➽Forced second lead scenes, and
friendship of male lead and second lead
➽The story doesn’t progress, it
just many events rolling one after another.
➽Only saving grace is discovery of
the Second Lead, Hwag In Yeop
➽Would recommend watching Gangnam Beauty
The weird:
Shanai Marriage Honey (J-Drama)
 |
| https://mydramalist.com/77393-shanai-marijjihani |
➽If you are familiar with Japanese
animes, this drama pattern would seem very normal, if not its weird all over.
➽With no excuses for events
happening and the strange behavior of the male lead and overly sweet behavior of
female lead.
➽There are even more strange
characters popping up all over the drama office setup (which would seem normal
if familiar with Japanese dramas)
➽Would recommend Koi wa Tsuzuku Doko Made Mo as a beginner J-Drama for much better experience.
With that, my love filled drama month came to an end, looking forward to thrillers and actions in the next phase!
