Interesting, Underestimated and Mistreat

This gonna be a short review because I think this show is underrated. Romance lover should give it a shot.


First of all, It was a pressure to Watch " Lovestruck in the City" ( 도시에서 남녀 사이의 사랑 wich mean How to love between men and women in the city ). This Show-tell a Story of how Park Jae won met Yoon Sun Ah and instantly fall in love with her playful, positive and beautiful look. He basically loves everything about her. What he didn't know that's she hide her real identity.

The show does a kind of interview with the protagonist. I've never seen anything like it. Yes, it follows us across the show. You don't have to like it. It is just a stylistic device from the director to tell the story. At first, it was used to explain the past and to bring the individual characters closer to us, later it is there to show the feelings, opinions and thoughts of the people. Like a diary.

The story starts quickly and is easy to understand with a long middle section full of highs and lows. The script just feels real, it could happen in real life. It's not cheesy or too applied and yet very romantic. There is not much more to say without spoilers.

Cast and acting were presented perfectly. Kim Ji won is a really charming , you just have to fall in love with her. After "Fighting for my way "and "Descendants of the Sun" amazing performance from her.
I want to believe every word from Ji Chang Wook when he looks at her. He plays the broken one so realistically that you can taste his pain. Overall really good performers a solid 10.

Music was my personal highlight of the show. The OST are very good especially "Kiss me Kiss me". There are a few moments where there is just silence, I also really liked that, sometimes less is more.

Overall, it's one of my favorite show lately. It was great fun when they made love and it was heartbreaking when they broke up / quarreled. While watching Lovestruck in the city I want to find my own Eun Oh with all of her mistakes, to fall in love so much that you can't think of anything else, to put up with the pain because it is worth it and to fall for her completely.

"He did prove....thats there's no perfect crime."

What an amazing show!

There is nothing much to complain about 365 Repeat the year.


To start with, this show is nothing for weak nerves. It doesn't flinch to show brutality if needed. The characters provoke the viewer permanently lie and irritate us till we don't know who is even trustable.
This show has so many twists and turns till every last moment, you are not allowed to blink and miss a single movement. Always keep telling the viewer to suspect everyone even so how obvious the situation might be. The goods turn bad and the bad turn good and turn bad again and then not. It's a back-and-forth of feeling.


Also, the only supernatural in this drama is the Time repeat of a year.


There are no super smart, strong or plot amour leads. The character feels realistic, approachable and relatable. The Cast is amazing they're playing the roles out of their mind not only the amazing lead but also the supports are phenomenal. The chemistry between the two main Leads is amazing as if their eyes have their own role. In my interpretation, there is defiantly romance between them. They're going through hell and the fear they had is 100% transferred to the viewer, goosebumps guaranteed.


The Story is simply top-notch. The built-up is obvious with the time repeat and the writer just skips the mid-part instead there are many mini finals in every episode till we get the big bang. To be honest I would like to see the culprits reveal at the big end but I wasn't so the reveal of the Murder felt a bit flat because we don't have enough time. Remember is only a 12 Episodes Drama.



Last but not least, personally this might be the best time travel Drama ever made. The writing is flawless the execution spotless. Perfect cast with amazing names who also deliver.
Overall if you are a fan of Mystery, Thriller this one is a perfect drama. Turn off your phone make the room dark and you will have an amazing time only a few dramas can deliver.

'87802' What could it mean?

Friend to lover, First love and Unexpected love.

This Drama takes only place at the university and is converted more or less about witnessing love.

The Story mainly focuses on Ma Joo Ah and Cha Min Ho who are friends for 12 years. Cha Min Ho started building strong feelings toward Joo Ah after she fell in love with his Hyung. He who is very caring and protects her and she who sees him as a strong pillar she can lean on but have no feeling for him become confused about her own desire after he confesses his true feeling toward her. It become a standard " I don't want to lose my best friend just because of dating" situation. Luckily we have two reasonable leads and it comes out naturally and that's beautiful.

With Na Neul and Ji Min comes spice to the peaceful world.
The story of them has a big loser and that is Ji min. They both are naive in their own way. For me personally, he doesn't try enough to understand her and fight for her trust. She trusts too much and so comes an even bigger disappointment that she can't handle. I don't want to talk about Ro Sa too much, because of spoilers but what I can say is that I'm not one with her action, but understand her feeling.

The third couple is very light but no less beautiful.
In of world of a bunch of young people, there is nothing sexier than a powerful and smart lady who stands strong and wipe the tear of the younger ones. Is a classic " look close to you " story to find the right one.

Overall the story is very short with a lot of filler mini-stories. Like the Dance club that causes trouble for Ji min. The love interest Jae Hyun what's not needed. The mini love triangle and the school log.

Also here is not too much or over-the-top b***fighting what I prefer. Those things are outdated and just feel not authentic. Instead here is the, for me personally, a lot worst way to hurt someone and use the might of anonymous on the web. That's a real problem in this drama and also in real life.

Nevertheless, is a great and fun watch with not too many annoying moments and more heart-flutter moments.
