THE EMOTION AND ACTING

Now this is a drama that gets you hooked from the very first episode.
The story , the acting amazing.
I can not think of a better drama that shows abusive relationship as this.
It tells a story and gives hope.
The casts played their roles with great emotions behind their acting. I love this drama.

pity party? :(((

SUCH POTENTIAL :(

It started off so alluring and thrilling! It really captivated me with the plot and how things were going to turn out!

However, with it being a bit of an older / longer drama (about 20 episodes), it started to draggg towards the front mid of the series.

I think the main antagonist really made it worthwhile to watch - great acting and just truly stuck to his character.

I actually loved the initial female lead - I think she had such a unique look and actually did a phenomenal job of portraying her character! The main male lead matched his character of his gentle demeanor ~

I think the middle got sort of boring... The way they fell in love almost felt like a pity party and I don't know... just was meh...

The ending was also anti-climatic? Overall, it had potential but just sort of got washed up...

Wouldn't necessarily recommend but if you're like me trying to watch whatever and any dramas - would watch once just to have something in the background.

So crazy it became good

Watched this in 2024, just 5 years after it's release but it felt like it was older. It's a melodrama that would try to illicit as much water from your tear ducts as possible.

Story is simple and could probably be shown in fewer episodes. Mari is an abused woman who ran away from Inwook her obsessive CEO husband and asked the plastic surgeon Jungwoon to change her face. He made her look like his dead wife. Sharing their sorrows with each other the began to fall in love. But does Jungwoon really love Mari or just the face of his dead wife? And what about Inwook who would stop at nothing to find his wife and who seem to recognize Mari despite her changed face?

Because it was stretched out to 40 episodes, the cat and mouse game seemed repetitive at times but remained entertaining and unpredictable until the last episode. The actor who played Inwook was so good. His visuals are what you would expect for a charismatic and powerful CEO, his tortured face as he begged for Mari's love was so pitiful, but it can turn so scary when he goes crazy. I also really liked the damsel in distress acting of the before surgery FL. The rest of the actors were just okay. The after surgery FL seemed to show the same expressions which distracted me a little but I've learned to just ignore it. I liked this story and the fact that titles are based on the meaning of flowers, however I wished they made the FL more independent, maybe learning some self defense instead of just waiting to be rescued.

Bad

More like "Love in Stupidity"! It's just a bad melo. If they wanted to make it driven by stupidity then they should've doubled down and went all the way in at the very least. I would also very much prefer if Park Ha Na took the "after surgery" role instead of Park Han Byul. At least that would've made the drama a bit worthwhile.

Terrible characterization; unrealistic plot line ; one dimensional acting

One of the worst kdramas I have ever seen. I hatedthe female lead who was afraid for all throughout the 40 episodes; the ridiculousness of storyline -complete face change in a month and surgery with no swollen mess at least! So unrealistic. The coincidences are unbelievable; the actor who portrayed the husband has only one expression - angry and trying hard to look intense; the surgeon who looks like gay - I thought that’s what he was at first a gay surgeon. The character s are all one dimensional. The ost was soooo bad- felt like the 70’s music overly dramatic and so oldies. Don’t waste your time on this. I’m being kind with a half star rating.

"Amor só na alegria não pode ser amor de verdade, eu amo você na tristeza"

Amor na Tristeza é um dorama longo (40 episódios), o que não seria um problema se realmente tudo isso fosse necessário. Muitas cenas e histórias repetitivas e sem necessidade que poderiam ter sido cortadas.

Ninguém podia perguntar de uma flor que tinha toda uma longa história por trás do nome dela. O que era algo legal no começo, mas quando você chega no capítulo trinta e pouco, querendo o desfecho e eles param pra contar a história de flor, não dá. Foi um dos motivos de eu levar um ano pra terminar isso aqui.

Eu assisti esse dorama no viki com os comentários ligados e esse foi meu grande erro, muitas vezes passei mais raiva com eles do que com os personagens kkk. Então, aqui vai alguns pontos para quem for assistir esse dorama:

Muita gente reclamou da atuação da segunda atriz (depois da cirurgia plástica), mas ela nem foi tão ruim assim. O problema é que a primeira atriz foi um pouco melhor e muitas pessoas não entendiam que a personagem estava TRAUMATIZADA.

Ela viveu anos em uma casa lotada de pessoas abusivas, apanhando do marido e com ele ameaçando tirar a vida da mãe dela (a única família que ela ainda tem), se ela fugisse. Não dá nem pra imaginar o tanto que ela sofreu. Então sim, ela vai chorar em frente a pessoa que a faz sofrer dia após dia e mesmo com um rosto diferente é óbvio que ela ainda vai ter medo dele, porque adivinha, ela está ✨ traumatizada ✨. E ela não é uma personagem tão fraca assim, se pararmos pra pensar no quanto ela aguentou pela mãe dela, pelo Jung Won e no quanto tentou se ver livre do marido.

Outra coisa que as pessoas reclamaram muito foi da Joo Hae Ra, a curadora que gosta do principal. Ela pode ter os defeitos dela e ter errado aqui e ali, mas foi uma das que mais ajudou a Ma Ri, mesmo com a própria vida em risco. Mesmo sendo rejeitada pelo principal, ela entendeu os sentimentos dele, desejou que ele fosse feliz e ficou do lado dele até o fim. Do lado dos dois.

Por último, o Marido da Ma Ri. Ele era um lixo, mas temos que bater palmas para o ator que foi o melhor nesse dorama. Em todas as cenas a atuação dele foi impecável e não me surpreende nem um pouco se ele tiver ganhado um prêmio por essa atuação (não tenho certeza, mas acho que ele ganhou sim). Ele foi simplesmente espetacular. Sério.

A filmografia desse dorama foi muito boa e as roupas eram maravilhosas, principalmente as da Ha Kyung e da Hae Ra. Um dos motivos de eu adorar as cenas delas kkk. As ost são muito boas, apesar de algumas ficarem cansativas depois de 40 episódios.
