Absolutely worth watching

The first episode in my opinion was a bit rushed and I was there contemplating if I should continue watching it. But trust that you shouldn't judge a series by it's first episode because afterwards it turned into one of the most amazing kbl series out there. I just want to acknowledge the fact that Korea has come so far with BL since their first series in 2020.
This series was amazingly portrayed, the acting was great, the actors are adorable/handsome and the storyline of both couples were amazing. I totally recommend watching this series because it gives off such a soft heartwarming and also a bit of twist and feeling of sadness towards the end which is something I always enjoy especially when there's a happy ending in the end.
Both couples were amazing and it didn't seem like either couple was the second couple, more like both were the main couples beacuse of equal screentime.
I 100% recommend watching this especially since you can watch it in one day and just set your mood in a positive way since it's a fun and entertaining series that makes your heart flutter, gives you utter shock because of how good the kisses are(lol) and because of the twist of sadness that turns out to be ok in the end.

disappointed

I dropped this show like a hot potato!
I didn't even think I'd be able to even make it through the two episodes that I managed to watch.
It was just bad.
I mean beyond awful. I thought maybe I was looking at it and comparing it to the original which I absolutely love and still rewatching that one. I guess it was about 2 weeks after I dropped it I went back and tried to rewatch those first two eps again with fresh eyes. I did try to give it a chance but just rewatching those two episodes think they would've been better if the show was written differently. Since it is a bl I'll probably go ahead and watch it from start to finish and get through it some time next year.

I can't tell if it's even the same show anymore

I started to watch this because the Thai series by Mii2 and ZeeSaint was super amazing, I didn't expect so much from Korean BL drama cuz they never put lots of effort and money into making it. But this is crap, the story is changed, the editing sucks, and the story seems to be in a rush. University student-made short films are way better than this. I can't even stand for the first 10 minutes. I don't even get why the reviews for this drama are so high...like how???? The Thai series is much better and much funnier. Don't waste time on this, just watch the original one seriously....

However, one fact, Sang Min is really cute, nice casting, he's a Korean hottie Saint.

Pour les fossettes de Lee Sang Min (et quelques autres trucs aussi)

Je ne vais pas comparer avec la version thaïlandaise simplement parce que les deux histoires sont diamétralement opposées. La version thaï était torride et brute contrairement à la version coréenne qui se révèle fraîche et douce.

Je sais que pour certains 4.5/10 c'est bas, mais c'est plutôt représentatif de l'ensemble. Que ce soit les intrigues, le jeu d'acteur, la musique ou encore la possibilité que je puisse le revoir.

L'histoire est courte au point de ne pas trouver de fil rouge - ce qui me fait dire qu'il s'agit plus d'un tranche de vie. On suit l'évolution de certains personnages sur un temps défini, c'est tout. Petite mention aux baisers qui sont bons. Mais une question me hante toujours : qui peut bien écrire une fanfic sur son frère ? Brrr.

En réalité, ma motivation est apparue lorsque j'ai vu Lee Sang Min (Woo Seon Woo) sourire. Ses fossettes sont la raison pour laquelle je suis restée puis pour Park Chang Hoon (Go Yoo Gyeom) aussi. Ils ont volé la vedette à mes yeux. Je ne sais pas si on peut parler de couple secondaire parce qu'ils ont autant de présence que Lee Jung Min (Jeong Lee Won) et Lee Ye Hwan (Kim Ji Oh), donc ! Jeong Lee Won et Kim Ji Oh semblaient un peu capricieux dans l'ensemble. Tandis que l'autre couple plus mature, bien que jouant un peu de la girouette.

Les acteurs sont tous sympathiques. Parfois c'est un peu plat, mais au-dessus de certains KBL (je tente encore de me remettre de l'horrible et embarrassante scène de larmes de Jeon Chang Ha dans First Love Again (et ça fait plus d'un an)).

En revanche, la technique n'est pas à la hauteur.
L'audio est mauvais. Pendant un moment, j'ai eu un doute sur le doublage, mais plus on avance plus c'est flagrant. Parfois, ça donne l'impression d'être doublé et le plan suivant, les grillons font leur retour en premier plan. Voir ne rien entendre du tout (la fin de l'épisode 5 avec Do Yeon). L'ajout des grillons comblent un dialogue enregistré en studio, mais c'est sans âme.
Le son devait être mauvais dès le départ. Par conséquent, peu importe les efforts, c'était un ratage assuré sur ce point.
Il y a souvent un fond sonore quand il n'y en a pas besoin. A contrario, plus d'une fois, il manque une ambiance pour certaines scènes. Les musiques ne sont pas mémorables, mais sympa.
Côté image, les filtres sont (encore une fois) trop forts ce qui la rend peu agréable. Cela se répercute aussi sur les visages beaucoup trop lisses (c'est mon obsession du moment).
Bref, la technique n'est pas folle, mais j'imagine qu'elle est assez représentative du budget alloué.

Malgré les défauts, ça reste un webdrama mignon si on ne le compare pas à la version thaï qui est très différente. Je pense même que les deux n'ont rien en commun, pas même l'apparition (inutile) de Nat et Max.

Sendo generosa? Abaixo da média.

Eu dei uma nota generosa, devo admitir.
Não é exatamente o que eu definiria como bom, a Coreia já fez coisa bem melhor mesmo com o tempo corrido e como conheço o original, sei que tinha muito mais potencial do que o atingido aqui...
As atuações são okay, o enredo a gente conhece, mas a produção e a execução foram pavorosas! O audio é muito ruim, a ponto de me incomodar e o desenvolvimento (se é que podemos chamar assim) é intrincado, picotado e corrido.

Eu vi gente falando que tava mais parecido com a novel que a versão tailandesa, mas meu deus como foi ruinzinha, essa produtora já não faz das melhores coisas, mas sempre deu pra levar, só que agora se superou em piorar!
A versão tailandesa tem problemas, mas foram mais pela pandemia que a alcançou, aqui não havia esse problema e eles tinham tudo pra dar certo, não deu.
O que eu gostei realmente gostei foi: Por gostar da original e o toque de ser de cinema, só. Um pena, porque tinha MUITO POTENCIAL...

Se você se deixar levar e não se apegar a detalhes ou requerer muito, vai valer a pena ao menos, não foi tempo perdido, mas não vou ficar reassistindo.

Лучше тайской в много, много раз.

Когда тайская мне не зашла. Смотрела давно и пересматривать не было желания от слова совсем в отличии от этой. Тайская без эмоциональная и к 6-ой серии я уже неистово мотала - было скучно и не правдоподобно. Эта версия улетает в любимые и на пересмотр. Эта версия идеальна во всем. Локации, правильный свет и моменты разговора. Химия между героями, даже сценарий в сценарии был общим, а не отдельной историей.
Больше наблюдала за второй парой, уже мне известными Пак Чан Хуном (роль Ю Гёма) и Ли Сан Мина (Сон У) . Кстати, не отпускала мысль как похожи Ли Сан мин и Мун Джехён из Omega-X. Те же лисьи глаза, те же ямочки. Как поэги, я была просто залипшая на Сан Мина. Так к героям. Эта пара мне очень понравилась. Было видно, как оба боролись со своими чувствами. Химия между актерами была невероятной, а за кадром поддержка лучших друзей. Вы справились ребята. Вы молодцы. Вторая пара Ли Чонмин (Ли Вон) и Ли Е Хван (Джи О) тоже понравились. Понравились их препирательством. Было забавно и даже мило. жалко не нашла инфу о актрисе играющую сестру. Она такая классная, у нее отличное будущее. Я точно буду пересматривать эту дораму. Корея как всегда - идеально.

Waoo!

Ya acabo y no me lo puedo creerlo fue una serie muy linda la verdad, corea nunca decepciona.

Soy amante de la versión original de esta serie y debo admitir que este remake fue bien logrado, toco puntos claves de la historia y se dio bastante bien, quede con ganas de mas, al acabarse el ultimo ep, siento que necesito que me contaran mas de los personajes, ojo esto no quiere decir que este mal, solo que quede con esa espinita de necesitar mas, espero y hagan una película o un ep especial, porque quisiera seguir viéndolos juntos.

La química de los protagonistas en ambas parejas es muy buena, quiero ver mas series de ellos juntos, los 4 actores lo hicieron muy bien, y me hicieron recordar un poco a los personajes en la versión original de Tailandia. había escenas que gritaban de allá vengo y ame eso mucho. Igual las actuaciones de todos son muy buenas y se nota el esfuerzo puesto por todos.

en todo siempre hay sus detalles y obvio hay cosas como que no terminan de convencerme, al ser tan corta siento que le falta mas que contar a la historia, pero esta linda y de eso no hay duda.

El OST de la serie es muy cutie y la ambientación en la serie muy certera, fue gratificante de ver.

Fui muy feliz viendo esta serie y sin duda necesito más... Espero que todo el que pueda verla lo haga, no se la pierdan es bien bonita y te dan ganas de entrar a ese universo.

Quem botou o pé no acelerador?

Ok, vamos lá! Antes de mais nada vou adiantando que ainda não vi o original tailandês e dito isso, posso começar dizendo que achei interessante eles terem trocado para uma faculdade de cinema, de primeira foi isso que me atraiu e logo depois eu descobri que o casal principal da versão original não teve tanto foco por causa da pandemia de COVID-19, mas aqui no remake, eles assumem seu lugar de direito desde o inicio.

Então, para não me embananar toda com a história, eu resolvi começar daqui mesmo.

A história vai girar em torno do Jung Yiwon, um estudante de atuação, que não muito com a cara de um tal de Kim Ji Oh, que quer se tornar um diretor. Coisas acontecem e os dois viram um par na aula de atuação e começa aquele negócio da implicância, que vai acabar em amor. O grande problema disso, a irmã do Jung Yiwon tinha escrito uma novel BL sobre eles, ele começa a achar que tudo aquilo, tá acontecendo porque a irmã dele escreveu.

Tudo aqui é rápido demais, lá pelas tantas eu até precisei dar pause para conseguir acompanhar os diálogos de tão rápido. Não consegui identificar direito quando o Ji Oh se apaixonou (Foi no beijo acidental? Ou não!). A impressão que passava era que a irmã do Yiwon, não gostava de escrever aquela novel, não sei direito, até porque foca bem pouco nisso. Achei o casal secundário fofo, assim como o principal. Não é uma química avassaladora de arrasar quarteirão, mas tá valendo!

Não é uma obra prima, mas para quiser entender melhor a história de Why R U?, fica a recomendação!
