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:

My Little Happiness (C-Drama)

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

True Beauty (K-Drama)

https://mydramalist.com/38627-true-beauty

➽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!
