Completed Richel9 people found this review helpful Story Acting/Cast Music Rewatch Value I was originally going to post a simple comment regarding my two cents on this drama, but then I figured that it's impossible to condense all of my thoughts into anything less than a whole review. After all, I talk a biggest danger of being on this platform or any similar site, really is getting swept up in the mob mentality that is a high rating. Time and time again, I begin watching a drama with high hopes just because so many other people loved it. Sometimes, I agree. Other times, I find that I have basically scammed myself through other viewers' preferences. One of those other times was my recent experience with Just Between Between Lovers is, by far, not a bad show. I completely understand why so many viewers fell into it. The casting choices, the cinematography, the soundtrack. Thereâs a lot to brag about. The plot choice is a challenge, but one I commend the writer for choosing. PTSD, survivor's guilt, depression; these things are incredibly difficult subjects to put into a drama without being insensitive, inaccurate, or both. While Iâm not entirely dissatisfied with how the writer depicted these mental conditions, I do feel that she should have gone much further. I didnât really get into the heads of the characters as much as I expected; so my heart didnât hurt for them at all. For Just Between Lovers, the characters should have been the main point. We can understand the technicals of what they went through just by reading a synopsis. In that case, itâs the showâs responsibility to show us more about them; not merely history, but who they are down to every nerve in their body. Okay; maybe that's pushing it for a 16-episode drama, but you understand what I mean? I want to relate to them on some level. Instead, the writer relied too much on the fallacy that âtragedyâ automatically equates to a sympathetic audience. In trying to make us viewers feel sad with a truckload of melodrama, we end up not feeling too sad at I admit that I'm frequently too much of a stickler for well-written characters, I firmly believe that this oversimplification of characters was what failed this show. There were just too many characters to deal with effectively and all at once. The writer was trying to show that everyone is dealing with their own inner demons, which is fine; but then why do I not feel anything for any of them except for the smallest shred of pity? The experience was very similar to when you watch news broadcasts about car accidents you might wince, feel bad because of what happened. But you most likely donât have a great enough connection with the victim to truly feel bad for him as a person. Thatâs a big issue for a drama in which itâs all about seeing the characters as real and everything, I think that the writer wasted the most time on the romance aspect. The irony of naming a script âJust Between Loversâ and have a viewer hate the romance. Ouch. This mightâve just been a trickle-down effect of me not liking the character development enough to appreciate the relationships. I tried to like it, and the pairing was cute; but not anything groundbreaking. It seemed as if the romance was an excuse for more melodrama that the show didnât need. The saving grace for Just Between Lovers was the acting. I may have felt lukewarm toward their characters, but Iâd be spitting lies if I claimed I wasnât immersed by Junho and Jinah in each of their more intense scenes. I only completed this show because of them. The amount of emotion that these two harbor in their eyes, namely when theyâre crying, is appallingly wonderful. Especially Junho; the amount of acting talent that this singer has is unfair. Itâs a real shame that their characters werenât written better, otherwise the acting would have been the writer could have done more with the characters instead of focusing on the story alone. Had there been more focus in the character department, I would hardly have any complaints. Read More Was this review helpful to you?
Just Between Lovers" has something I have not seen in a drama in quite some time - class consciousness. I mean sure, "Awl" was literally a drama about union organizing, but then that was the focus. On the job. Kang-doo doesn't think in terms like that. To Kang-doo, the job is functional.
ï»żQuando minha filha me apresentou ao mundo dos doramas, fiquei completamente apaixonada. Assisto muitos desde entĂŁo, e mesmo os que eu nĂŁo gosto, acabo vendo atĂ© o finalâŠ. Ă© realmente um vĂcio. Desde que fui convidada para escrever um review, venho travando uma batalha pessoal sobre qual drama escrever. Pensei em escrever sobre vĂĄrios, e atĂ© cheguei a desistir, mas essa semana, quando terminei de assistir âJust Between Loversâ ou Rain or Shine, dirigido por Kim Jin Won The Package e Wonderful Days, decidi, na hora, escrever sobre ele, pois realmente mexeu com meus sentimentos de uma forma bem profunda. A histĂłria começa com o desabamento de um shopping, causando uma grande tragĂ©dia e consequentemente, matando vĂĄrias pessoas. Dez anos depois, trĂȘs jovens que foram vĂtimas do acidente acabam se encontrando casualmente e se envolvem em um projeto de reestruturação na ĂĄrea do desabamento. Os trĂȘs sĂŁo sobreviventes que tambĂ©m perderam pessoas queridas e vivem, cada um da sua forma, tentando superar seus traumas, culpas e frustraçÔes, muitas vezes, ultrapassando o limite do aceitĂĄvel para a vida. AlĂ©m de toda a questĂŁo do acidente, temos tambĂ©m o romance muito fofo sempre que envolve os dois personagens principais Lee Joonho Junho do 2pm â LINDO â atuando perfeitamente no papel de Lee Gang Doo, que Ă© o contrĂĄrio do esteriĂłtipo daquele cara perfeito que costumamos ver nos doramas. Um cara pobre, com jeitĂŁo de âbad-boyâ, bronco, cheio de traumas e problemas, o que o torna totalmente ârealâ, e a Won Jina â que tambĂ©m foi perfeita como Ha Moon Soo, uma mulher esforçada e com sĂ©rios problemas familiares que tenta superar suas culpas. Eles vĂŁo se identificando com as dores e perdas do passado e, aos poucos, se descobrem apaixonados. Nada Ă© fĂĄcil para esses dois, mas eles conseguem, atravĂ©s da dor, encontrar o amor, e eu achei isso sensacional. A quĂmica entre o casal foi bem legal, pois prevaleceu o carinho, o companheirismo mĂștuo e o amor construĂdo. O dorama tem todo um aspecto de histĂłria real, com uma fotografia linda, em locais simples do dia-a-dia de cada um. O diretor teve todo cuidado de fazer uma histĂłria interessante, aprofundando tambĂ©m na histĂłria de cada personagem, atĂ© mesmo os coadjuvantes. Todos tiveram o âseu lugar ao solâ, todos brilharam de alguma forma, o que faz com que a histĂłria seja ainda mais interessante. No entanto, em minha opiniĂŁo, alguns se destacaram mais, como o ator Kim Ganghyun, que interpretou Sang Man, o amigo inseparĂĄvel de Gang Doo. Eu jĂĄ tinha visto alguns trabalhos com o ator, mas esse em especial, me impressionou de uma forma muito positiva. Ă um melodrama, sim, Ă© uma histĂłria triste, mas tĂŁo linda e tĂŁo cheia de ensinamentos, representatividade e de superação que Ă© impossĂvel nĂŁo se envolver e se apaixonar. Chorei, me emocionei, fiquei triste e feliz⊠muitos sentimentos conflitantes, mas que valeram cada minuto. Super recomendo e jĂĄ virou um dos meus queridinhos ???? Espero que tenham gostado do review, e comentem a opiniĂŁo de vocĂȘs tambĂ©m! AtĂ© a prĂłxima! âš Texto Alessandra Borges RevisĂŁo Hope .
