Amonaje Jan 15 2023 6:47 am I loved the drama, I read that many people do not like the interview format in which the fourth wall is broken, but I have seen two films before that use that: Woody Allen's Anie Hall and Ferris Bueller day off and they are great, so I expected good results with this drama. At first I hated the protagonist, I told myself that there are no people like her, so happy and outgoing, that is impossible, but when you find out the truth halfway through the drama, I felt enormously sorry for her and I understood why she was running away from the protagonist, she felt pathetic, it was sad. Ji Chang Wook's acting was fabulous, the scene where he cries drunk is so deep and moving, the man was in torment! I even liked the last chapter, I thought that chapter 16 was enough, but in 17 we only see for a little moment that the protagonists are fine, so it seems to me that it was the right information. That they focused on the story of the policeman at the The end didn't bother me either, his story with the girl was imperfect, but that's the way real life is. I already watched the drama for the second time and I liked it more. I definitely recommend it.

Elena Sep 11 2022 6:52 am I was super hyped about this series and the actors but I couldn't get past the first episode due to the fact that every 5 minutes they broke the story to insert a couch interview. Please stop trying to tell stories with couch interviews that pulls you out of the story because this is not Love Island or a documentary. If you really want to insert what they think bring back the traditional scenes where they pace up and down and explain themselves where they do the same thing but with shrugging their head over a coffee or a tea.

labradoodle Aug 27 2022 7:26 am Simple story for an ultra seductive result. INTEREST: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A short episode format in the form of an interview, a simple story for an ultra seductive result. EMOTION: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is beautiful, we are in the intimacy of 6 characters who reveal their vision of love, superb! OST: ⭐⭐⭐⭐_ Adds perfectly the atmosphere to the picture. ATTRACTION: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ No shenanigans, no sanctimonious parents. Wildly appealing.

Em Jul 22 2022 3:17 pm I really enjoyed this show, the cinematography and color pallet used in the Summer-romance flashbacks/scenes were so aesthetically pleasing!

A lot of K-dramas avoid physical intimacy, and while sex scenes are rarely necessary, I've noticed that quite often even kissing scenes feel lackluster which can really kill the atmosphere or mood of a scene, especially when it's between two characters that have spent 13+ episodes desperately longing for each other, fortunately, that's not the case with Lovestruck in the City, the physical intimacy between all the couples felt very believable, there was no slow-mo open-eyed kisses, no one-sided kissing where the other freezes like a deer caught in headlights and no skirting around the "first-night" scenes, intimate scenes in Lovestruck in the City were tastefully done, and while nothing gratuitous is shown it doesn't shy away from the fact that the characters in this show are absolutely having sex and it made their relationships feel realistic, their sexual tension convincing and captured the atmosphere and mood of the scenes perfectly.

The mockumentary-interview approach was an interesting concept that worked well and was very quirky, that being said, the ML and FL's chemistry was so good that part of me kinda wishes they'd filmed the show in the usual K-drama format just to see several full episodes of their vacation romance develop in real-time without interruptions from side characters and "interview" segments, etc.

If you're in the mood to watch a K-drama with an unusual and inventive concept, featuring two romantic leads with sizzling chemistry I highly recommend Lovestruck in the City!

KST Jul 06 2022 5:46 am I just finished watching this series yesterday. It was amazing actually. I really love to the way Ji chang wook and Kim ji won act. Their chemistry was damn good. I really love to the scenes they were together. Hope it had more romance than this.Hope this series will have a season 2! Recommend this to all who like watching short dramas with romance! Saranghae!

Thieme Jun 24 2022 12:55 pm Chemistry and cinematography wise, champ. Story, 8/10. Duration, good. Doesn't really fond about how they make Jaewon so whipped in the beginning but in the end the justice is served and viewer wouldn't hating on Euno, too, she's reasonable. Agreed to what they did to the highschool sweethearts (they ought to work something out of their things) and kinda disappointed they didn't dig on Geon-Seonyeong more, but it wrapped well. The dynamic of 6 kinda reminds me of Friends, and next season/sequel/spin off worthy. Overall so netflix-y, try this one for unique drama-watching experience.

P.S. JCW hot af

Ben Jan 29 2022 12:17 am My comfort drama. The diration of each episode is only 30minutes, make me want to rewatch again and again. Im falling for the main couple, changwook and jiwon, there is no other kdrama couple can beat their chemistry. They look so much like reallife couple. Suh rini and kyungjun, soyoung and kanggeon, all the couple are so great. I love how this drama has antimainstream story line, concept. The ost!!! I listened the playlist almost everyday. Thankyou to director Park Shin Woo, your are the best. Every scenes is so beautiful, i'm just curious how did you direct the bed scene of parkjaewon and seon a. That bed scene is soooooooooo high. I'm totally swoon, amazed. The sensual tention is so on point.

I'm so lucky to find and loving this drama.

SKAI Jan 23 2022 6:53 pm Damn. I love the OSTs, scenery, cinematography, story. Ji Chang Wook and Kim Ji Won is overflowing with chemistry. The supporting characters are so good. I love Ji Chang Wook's character here than Backstreet Rookie, I loved him at Healer too.

Elle Dec 06 2021 2:15 pm The best drama ever! It was unique compare to other kdrama. JCW and KJW chemistry is out of this world. Hoping for 2nd season with JCW and KJM, love them!

Ritzcrackers Oct 23 2021 6:25 am I liked it as well. I just think based on the way things ended there was gonna be a season two. It seemed like they were introducing two new leads for season 2. Since the cop knew the the 2nd and third couple, I thought they would return for a season two. I was looking forward to a season 2 since they did such a good job with season 1.

Spuki Oct 13 2021 4:01 am Everyone to their own movie preferences but I can't get over anyone not liking this series. One of the best ever. I love the filming style, it is different and refreshing to see it done this way. The chemistry of the leads is amazing. The only drawdown was episode 17 that was totally unnecessary and I believe was just put there to introduce that rookie actress to the movie industry. I have watched this now 3 times and I just skip the unnecessary scenes of the final episode.

Phuong Lien Nguyen Oct 03 2021 2:52 am Long time I havent seen a kdrama and the series totally hit me. I love the actors, the chemistry of the protagonists are incredibly amazing. I did not know that Ji Chang Wook and Kim Ji Won can make a great couple like this. Some producer or director should invite these both in their new series, playing as a couple. You must try seeing the series at least once in life. I have seen it 6 times this week ❤

Racheal Lee Oct 02 2021 12:42 am One of my favorite in 2020. I love the storyline, the actors and actress too. Just the interview sometimes feel annoying and unnecessary, if without it could be more interesting.

Piet Sep 29 2021 10:40 am I actually love the acting, all actors are really good, interesting story line, beautiful scenery and cinematography, but I can't stand the back and forth interview pov... it got me dizzy and I just can't catch up

seunggisii Aug 22 2021 6:22 pm What more can I say? This drama is beautifully executed and I have a lot of realizations after watching it. I don’t really mind negative comments because I’m aware that we have different preference in terms of dramas. I respect those ppl if it’s not their cup of tea. But for me, this is one of the most beautiful drama that I’ve watched. Chang Wook and Ji Won’s chemistry is out of this world. It’s so natural and I feel like I’m invading their privacy as I watch their scenes. It’s really good. Now, it’s been more than a week since I’ve finished rewatching this series for the 3rd time already and I can’t still get over them. Every now and the, I watch their MV’s, interviews, BTS and they still give me butterflies. If the season 2 will not include the original casts, I hope JW and CW will meet again for another full length drama. Casting directors, producers please consider them again as leads. Many people are asking for it!!! ?

Miena Aug 04 2021 2:38 am I just watched 9 episodes. Scenery is so unbelievable beautiful ; Yang Yang beach. The scenes at camper and beach bar are so romantic. JCW is not only good at action but also romance. Chemistry of the lead is good. But I’m a bit dizzy about Q and A technique and back and forth present and past that need much concentration from viewers to catch up. That makes me rethink I will continue to end or not. Actually I like JCW a lot about his acting. The scene at bar around Eun O house, Jae Won met her there and was drunk and grieved over her that scene JCW did the best to express his suppressed grieve.

Thea Jul 31 2021 2:27 am One of the best kdrama I have ever watched. Will give you a roller coaster emotion. There were scenes that were funny at first, then became serious and ends up heart-fluttering. The OST, cinematography, storyline, acting and chemistry of the actors were all on point, excellent and brilliant. 100/10 for this drama ?

Sheila Jul 20 2021 8:15 am I literally can't wait the sinopsis sounds promising and i can't wait to see Minsuk in a drama again

Rima Jul 17 2021 3:41 pm What can i say? My favourite goodlooking actor Ji Chang Wook, God, i just adore him. So gorgeous, an amazing smile but also what an actor. Whatever he plays, he is Great to watch and makes me happy!!! Kim Ji Won i also liked very much, sweet and beautiful but also good acting. Top!!! Overall great performance of the whole cast actually! A nice drama, different once. I liked it a lot. Great to watch and to me Perfect!! Watch it if you can!

cat Jun 26 2021 12:30 am does anyone know the song they sang on the 6 episode where they celebrate Suh Rin-I win the game card?

Zeila May 23 2021 7:24 pm Can't believe I get to see Three out of my top 5 biases in one show! Ji Chang-Wook, Lee Sang-Yoon and Lee Sang-Woo.

ji anna May 21 2021 1:19 pm i give this drama a rating of 11/10. really loves ji chang wook and kim ji won chemistry. good leads, good storyline. perfct!!!

sara May 12 2021 12:35 am There was no urge to see this drama till the end.There was lack of chemistry between the leads,the mockumentary style and I felt basically the story was unrealistic.I mean when you have other very good kdramas to view ,I did not feel to complete it.The yang yang scenery was good.

Sauda May 04 2021 4:50 pm Honestly, this the first Kdrama that I have ever rewatched, it's that good. Chemistry is on point! And Ji Chang is a sweetheart. This was the first drama I watched with him in it, and now I've seem all his dramas. He's also the best kisser-on screen. Passion, oof! It's like he was made to play this character, such a range of emotions.

I recomend LITC. If you watch the videos on Swoon wherr the main characters play games and chat, you'll understand how the drama affected these characters too. It's really a work of art. But I may be bias.. but also I didn't hear of Wookie when I started watching.

There's no action scenes, no evil boyfriend stalker, no mystery. Just a camera thief, a good drama and romance.

ABC123 May 01 2021 5:35 am The best way to describe this drama would be, "It tries too hard." Nothing comes off as natural or "realistic" to me. It all came across as entirely contrived and forced. Like it really wanted to seem edgy and different but in reality it's like a mix of Real World mixed with a show on the CW. Neither of the leads are at all likeable, have barely any character development, and I could have cared less what happened to any of them. Simp falls in love with a manic pixie dream girl and simps for her for 16 episodes, the end.

Emmasshi Apr 28 2021 10:03 pm To be honest, I wasn't expecting that ending. I'm quite disappointed of the Episode 17, it was like a filler. Just WTH?! Am I watching a different drama? Why they did focus on the policeman and the rookie actress on the finale episode? It would've been better if Kyeong-Jun's or Geon's part have a closure. Kim Ji-Won and Ji Chang-Wook though have a great chemistry!

Angel Zhou Apr 24 2021 8:36 pm It's light and was an okay weekend binge-watch for me. Hehe

Loved it more because the male lead is a simp hahaha.

Charlene Yee Apr 04 2021 3:53 am Haven't seen this drama but plot synopsis kinda like Taiwanese Movie Love at Seventh Sight. Still this drama will be in my next to watch list

Hae Ji-Ah Apr 01 2021 10:20 pm This is exactly what I need during this pandemic time: light-but-realistic love story with beach view. I didn't get bored with story of each character and can relate myself with it. Good casting, interesting way of story-telling, beautiful scene captures. Thank you for producing this drama..!

whaleinmee Mar 21 2021 1:39 pm I enjoyed watching it very much. Best romantic comedy I've seen recently. I got annoyed at the characters from time to time - I can't say I'm annoyed exactly, I don't know how to express this feeling in English. Often I loved and supported them, felt like my own friends. These feelings gave me great pleasure. After passing through the first few episodes, the story gets better and you have a better understanding of the concept of the series. The only disappointment was the final episode, I would love for the second season to come out. It was as if something was left unfinished, yet it wasn't a bad finale. I highly recommend it :)

SARANGHAE KIM JI WON Mar 21 2021 8:10 am I was hesitant to watch it first because of the comments, but for those who are looking a sign, Please Watch This. Give it a try It's Absolutely Not Boring For Me. The chemistry is so good the plot is real life stories. I just want to see more of Kim Ji Won and Ji Chang Wook I hope they will date in real life.

sisi Mar 19 2021 6:51 pm I only started watching a few episodes and I dislike the mockumentary style. It's just so awkward to watch, I couldn't bear it.

Ganaa Mar 16 2021 9:46 am Whoever wrote this drama is Genius and Thank you. Non ordinary Drama. Ending was good tho. Can't lie that I was scared as hell that thinking Choi Min Ho is Gay hahah

Ifeoluwa Mar 13 2021 3:57 pm I love this drama, it doesn't have a typical kdrama ending but it's worth my time. I only don't like the fact that the other couples didn't get back together.

Ruki Mar 12 2021 3:17 pm I mean, asking more chemistry or romance when the story both character tend to avoid each other is absurd. Why not also asking romance between lead and psycho villain instead. They already gave 3 us type, why asking all character doing same romance style.

she Mar 12 2021 12:29 am I love JCW and i also love KJW. In their separate projects though. Their chemistry in this show just felt...lacking. And because of that i felt that this show was a bit underwhelming for me. It was a good call to show 30-min episodes only, but even that did not pique my interest.

Why chemistry matters? Look at JCW in Healer and Suspicious Partner and then at KJW in DOTS and Fight for My Way. This reel team-up pales in comparison to those.

Hay Mar 09 2021 12:09 am Before I started this drama (because of JCW) I read the reviews first to decide whether to commit my time. Decided to eventually... am only now on ep 4. I found myself smiling most of the time. No... this drama is definitely not boring. It depends what you are looking for. This is somewhat close to reality and it is about different perspectives. Selection of cast is good too especially the 2 main casts especially JCW. I tried to fit in other faces of other actors in this story but somehow he is more suited to be in there. I love the mood the drama sets us in. Am enjoying every moment of it since ep 1. I am sure I will enjoy the rest of the episodes too.

attrav Mar 08 2021 4:53 am When I first heard of this series, people said it’s boring. And then I found a clip of one of the scene from this and it made me watch this series. And now that I’ve finished it, I’m not sure if we watched the same show. Because this is not boring and it’s so good.

It’s unconventional and it’s what makes it unique and feels like a breathe of fresh air from your usual kdrama. JCW and KJW were known to be good and this series proves that it’s 101% true.

Haha Mar 02 2021 12:06 pm I really like this drama. Idk why people say that this drama is boring, for me this drama is very interesting. The plot, casts, cinematography, and the scenes are so nice and beautiful. Thanks to PD-nim for making this masterpiece. I really need the season 2.

Elle Mar 01 2021 2:57 pm Absolutely loved it! I found it so funny in places. The acting by JCW unbelievable.

Ari Mar 01 2021 2:51 pm It's an overall nice drama with it's sweet and funny moments having a piece of life in it but i have to say that PJW was just to clingy. The fact that he torture himself so much over a woman who left him like that it's just to bad of an image to put out and in lots of moments he seemed pathetic and druggy the chemistry was nice it's just that they made him look desperate. It's not like LEO is a perfect character herself it's but she was like that from the start cold and distant yes she loved him but at least she had a specific kind of mood going on for the other to couples they were a sweet addition to the story even tho they were more like second leads not supporting but I didn't get the ending of both couples also ep 17 totally unnecessary from what I said it may sound as a bad drama but it was cute and pleasant to watch thanks to the episodes being only 30 min long i would put an 8/10 i liked it I'm just pointing out some "mistakes"

rickt Mar 01 2021 12:22 pm Another first time poster here, defending this drama from all the boring comments. I wonder if we even watched the same show? It’s a 17 episodes drama with around 30 mins each. Compare that to the usual format of over 60 minutes of 16+ eps drawn out makjang drama that they call romcom? Hmm..

Anyway, this is a light drama, in a true romcom style. It has none of the usual repeat multi-angle wrist grab or kiss scene, no overdrawn crying/brooding scenes with sad ballad screeching in the background, no unnecessary evil future Mother-in-laws, no love rivals plotting for their next scheme. Just stories about how the couples met, how their stories developed, and how it ended. Oh, also about friendship and discovering yourself.

I like the simplicity of it. Despite it being more “realistic” than the usual romcom offerings, to me, it feels like watching a daydream that came true (in the case of the main couple). I also loved the cinematography and editing on this drama. Definitely has a more modern feel to it with its instagram-like filter and the interview style drama. I guess being produced by Netflix has its perks with the music being used in the drama too. Every episode had a theme (basically a question asked at the beginning) and when the main scene happened, most times there’d be a song with that theme playing in the background. Sometimes there was even an explanation of the band/song as well on it.

I also liked how they are not shy with physical touch between the couples. Not to mention the chemistry between the main couple was off the charts. Kissing scenes were done properly. You could *feel* the seduction through the screen.

Like another commenter mentioned below, the introduction of a potential couple at the final episode was a little jarring. Perhaps that was a set up for the second season’s main couple? In any case, it left another couple’s story a little up in the air because this potential couple’s story was the only “filler” scene so far that wasn’t directly related to the 3 couples.

But yes, definitely NOT BORING. Just a light romcom with their normal every day story about navigating life, love, and relationships.

Mtle Mar 01 2021 5:50 am This is the first time I'm leaving a comment in asianwiki and I was really surprised by some of the comments saying this was boring, unrealistic and dragging, but in my opinion it was Absolutely Not Boring. Maybe because of the recently released kdramas which was either a makjang or fantasy/scifi themed (that made some people see it that way), but to me it was raw and emotional and very realisitic. It showed that the lead characters didn't need to have a deep and complicated past just to make their characters diverse and imperfect. Plus the lead's chemistry was crazy, but I'm not surprised about that 'cause it's JCW and KJW, both of whom works so well with every costars they've ever worked with. It was a simple drama without any complicated plots, so if you'd want to watch a very chill drama, I definitely recommend this one.

TI Media Feb 28 2021 2:54 pm Season 2 Please ??

Nikki Feb 28 2021 1:51 pm Forgot to add this bit, I was a bit disappointed with the last episode which was an extra episode and told us the story of Minho, it was not necessary I mean I would prefer a better ending with the main characters, I was so sad with Choi Kyeong-Jun and Suh Rin-I's break up :(

Nikki Feb 28 2021 1:48 pm Such a refreshing k-drama. I loved the interview style, each character's perspective, and how fast paced it was. The female lead tried to find herself, love herself and accept herself and I feel like many people can relate. I love the characters and their friendship, I loved how we got to see each character's story. This k-drama has emotional and funny scenes that will make you laugh and cry. The chemistry between the female and male lead was off the charts, I mean even the director ships them :D If I had to give it a rating I would give it a strong 7/10. I have also watched It's Okay Not to be Okay which I give a strong 9 which was done by the same director, and I like his style and look forward to his future projects.

Kleey Feb 28 2021 11:48 am I really like this drama! Many people say that this drama is boring, I don't understand their way of thinking. If those who say this drama is boring, that means they are only happy to see complicated drama stories, touching love, and complicated conflicts. Try to see this drama in terms of the concept and the storyline is so realistic. This drama has a virtual conversation concept that I have never encountered in other Korean dramas, maybe this concept has been applied to western series and it's really amazing! The storyline of this drama is also realistic, when we look at the relationship not only from the sweetness and the bitterness but rather the way we deal with heartbreak, marriage, escape, and finding our true selves. This is a drama that I really like! Sometimes a drama storyline doesn't need to be too complicated, but let's see how great the actors and actresses in this drama play their roles and make the characters really come to life as if they were actually experiencing it in the real world. I really like new ideas like this in the world of Korean dramas. A drama doesn't have to be overly complicated and filled with something so touching, it also needs innovation like this!

Lorella Masseria Feb 26 2021 11:32 am I'm just watching the third wpioe and I don't understand how this series can be considered boring! I find it original, sincere, with no rhetoric and whole cast is exceptional! I think you have to look at it well and tty to break down your mental blocks!

Rocky Feb 25 2021 6:16 am It's boring for me now I know why it wasn't talk of the town

kikay Feb 25 2021 4:49 am honestly, i dont like the concept on what the series was shown, no questions with those actors and actress, they portrait their role very well. but i just dont like the way or style of setting or plot or flow on how they create the series.( the interview part) Maybe i can appreciate if will have a part 2 .

Eka Feb 23 2021 9:22 pm Such a beautiful love story ... love whole packages of the drama. Thanks for pairing JCW and KJW , their chemistry is no joke !

Maureen Feb 23 2021 3:22 am Loved this drama! I didn’t get the part at the police station when she showed her identification and the police said that she was a man.

Jinwookie Feb 22 2021 5:34 pm I loved how different this drama was compared to others! Really hope we get a season 2 and of course minho's cameo made this drama even better~

nad Feb 22 2021 10:58 am it's minho and jiwon reunion since to the beautiful you right? from seol hana and kang tae joon to lee eun oh and police man??

Jay Feb 21 2021 4:44 pm A sophisticated script that can be challenging to execute, but producers pulled it off. Great storytelling and great performances. The couple in episode 17 have a curious relationship and left me yearning for more. The plot would be so much more interesting had they had been introduced from earlier episodes.

mica pascua Feb 21 2021 4:54 am except for the first lead couple, all is okay and refreshing

rubzy Feb 20 2021 9:10 pm I really love this drama ,Storyline 70% Acting 100% BOTH and who the hell is Minho first seeing that guy ?

Ann Feb 20 2021 1:06 am I have never seen Ji Chang Wook in a more annoying character. He screams throughout the entire drama and just really annoying. No chemistry whatsoever among the leads, it's a waste of good talent on a bland script.

Dead Leaves Feb 19 2021 1:52 am this drama is so amazing! the story is so real and touching. I kinda empathize with the female lead character. I understand the reasons all of her acts to him. Spoiler Alert! an introvert is always having problems to express their feelings, but reality hits. people have tendency to like extrovert type who's easy going, cheerful, and outspoken. She didn't mean to be selfish, mean, or want to hurt him, it's just she's really not that person that he loved. this drama really taught us to love the other sincerely as the way they are, simple yet so hard!

Nara Feb 18 2021 9:33 am This drama series was a really boring one for me. The leads were fine but i hate the plot. Only watched this bcs of Shinee Minho.. Waiting for more dramas from Minho...

atheana Feb 18 2021 5:25 am This show is so good, i enjoyed it a lot. The storyline is very unique and interesting. and the chemistry between ji chang wook and kim ji won is very very very good. Please continue with season 2!!

Noia Feb 17 2021 9:26 pm Just started watching this. Still on episode 3, but I already like how unconventional this drama is.

T^T Feb 17 2021 7:36 pm My oh my, this series is so so good. They are so underrated and deserved to be hype more. What I love about this kdrama is that it is fast pace, unlike the usual kdrama which sometimes has their draggy episode and moments.

The cast did a very good job potraying their roles inch perfect. And.. who is this Hae Na (Hong Su Zu) girl? She is dangggg cute!!!!! Please please continue with a season 2 we need to see more of the other couples development too :/

Anyways, an episode of this drama is only around 30 minutes long and I would recommend this drama to anyone who wants a realistic, light, funny and mature series.

Against Cheating Feb 16 2021 8:29 pm I really liked this show, but I was confused on why the writers focus on a new couple for the last episode.

Hopefully they’ll be a season 2 to focus on the 3 main couple relationships.

Then they could do a new show on the relationship between the cop and the model.

yeriluvs Feb 16 2021 5:44 pm I love this drama so much! please make a season 2 I want rini and kyungjoon to end up together

hestyarious Feb 16 2021 1:38 pm so enjoy the chemistry Jae won and Lee eun o <3

mai Feb 16 2021 9:47 am hmmm just finished watching the series and I must say I really enjoyed it. I realised that this drama is a hit or miss. you either really like it or don't. personally I loved the way it was filmed, the interview style was super refreshing and it makes it stand out from other dramas. i found the editing really hilarious and just so clever, especially the PPL parts and when they make fun of characters >< really loved the chemistry between jcw and kjw. jcw is very good at expressing his emotions sincerely I feel. I loved the rin-I and kyeong jun as well, they just have this couple look and they really suited their roles, wished they wrapped their story up in the last ep though. as for our beloved third couple, seonyeong and geon, really wished I could see more of their interactions, man I was really excited to see them get back tgt but the last episode was kind of strange to me? like why did they suddenly bring in mr handsome policeman's love story (it was super cute though loved it) I really hope there's a season 2 TT. I would totally put this as one of my top dramas :-)

Emma Feb 16 2021 7:16 am Now that the season is finished I can give my final thoughts.

I very much enjoyed Lovestruck in the city although the final episode seemed a little pointless, the handsome policeman played such a minor part in the overall story that it seemed a little odd to devote almost an entire episode to his little romance subplot, I think I would've prefered to see more of Rin-I and Kyeong-Jun's situation or more time spent with the friendship group in general for the final act. Perhaps there will be a season 2 expanding on the other character's love lives?

Either way, it's a great series and I highly recommend it!

Riri Feb 16 2021 3:25 am I really enjoyed this web series especially that it doesn't only focus on love relationships but also friend relationships and a journey to finding one self. Though I feel like it'd be great for it to be upgraded to a drama instead with an hour per episode because getting 30 minutes per episodes just seems not enough for this masterpiece!! ?? I hope season 2 will happen since there are still yet to be told regarding rinyi and kyungjoon's story and geon and sunyeong's story. We can start season 2 with alcoholic kyungjoon just like season 1 with alcoholic jaewon ? and as season 1 focuses on self-love and sincerity, I think season 2 with rinyi and kyungjoon's story can focus on differences of living and what happiness means for each person and how that affects relationships. I see potential!! A whole season 3 for geon and sunyeong is also acceptable!! Let's not make it stop here kakao and netflix I really enjoyed it ? Looking forward to hearing good news!!

Sylvia Gunadi Feb 13 2021 6:33 pm Anyone know that opening song?? Just can't find anywhere ;((

Mlarky Feb 13 2021 1:20 pm I am surprised at the number of episodes for this season. I am happy to finally see the main characters together. However, I would like Geon to man up. I would also like Rini to be more than a random part timer I would like her to really expand on her likes.

Sue Feb 13 2021 4:48 am Love anything with ji Chang Wook. He’s the perfect male romantic lead. Would like to see more of him in the Uk. Very good actor.

Martina Feb 12 2021 1:56 pm I want longer episodes for this series. Eye opener not just in relationship stuff but in life as well. If only there would be season 2 so we can get to know more about the 2 other couple. All of their stories are quite interesting. I love the OST too. I like all of their acting especially JCW and KJW. ?

clingydaegun Feb 12 2021 11:43 am Agree that this drama keeps getting better and better each episode, especially when they stop focusing too much on the main couple's love story and start exploring other characters' conflicts as well + the characters' friendship (ps: I enjoy watching Euno's journey in finding and accepting herself though). I honestly think we need a whole season 2 focusing on Kyeongjun & Rini's story and a whole season 3 focusing on Geon & Seonyeong's story. I see possibilities looking at how it will end really soon while Kyeongjun & Rini's conflict just starts and how we barely know anything about the conflict between Geon & Seonyeong. If they don't make another season, I will be really disappointed because I bet it will be really really interesting. Please Make It Happen KakaoTV & Netflix.

Ces Feb 11 2021 4:51 pm The story is so practical and realistic happening in everyday lives. You will be hooked with this drama, bec you wanted to find out the justice for the leading man. Excellent character of JW and CW.

3nagirl Feb 11 2021 7:38 am I love Ji changwook and kimjiwon! I really like how jichangwook loom at kim jiwon. It really looks like he is really so in love with lee eun o. I love that the guy is so in love with the girl that he cannot bear to be angry with her.

Minahil Feb 09 2021 10:49 pm The series became better and faster in ep 8. I’m starting to like how fast paced it has become and how engaging the story is from this episode. Also i like the songs they used in ep 7 alot especially when they’re all dancing

NM Feb 09 2021 7:46 am Coming here after eps 15 made me cry.

Ino Feb 08 2021 6:35 pm 2 Million views in 24 hours. KakaoTV so happy about this. Number 1, leading the Netflix Korea. And TOP 10 in many asian countries

A mockumentary webseries drama wich not everyone lunderstand the format and it is airing 30minutes each episode..the episode is super short..but many idol and actress watch this.

I think this result is Awesome.

none of your business Feb 08 2021 5:49 pm I was really hooked up with this drama... But i think i couldn't agree if they're gonna end up separately huhu:( I wanna give them a happy ending with justice feelings, i guess? This drama is super advisable!!

Sumia Feb 08 2021 5:21 pm I think i agree with all the comments when they say they don’t want the leads be together at the end. I think their happy ending is if they walk away from each other and focus on themselves, to me that’s happy ending. the girl tormented the guy so much they don’t need to be together at the end.

lerg Feb 08 2021 9:58 am I think becauae NF will extend the drama for season 2. It will be open ending?

See the ep 15 preview..something went wrong with Jw and LEO relationship.. bc JW is so anggry with LEO

taylor Feb 08 2021 8:42 am Like many others have said, I also think the leads shouldn’t have a happy ending. We see how much trouble Jaewon has gone through (so sad). It makes him look desperate and she just seems selfish. The female led is quite annoying, her attitude, mannerism, and dishonesty. To be honest I’m hooked because I want to see the man walk away from her. If they give them a happy ending I think it will seem super forced and fake.

K.chat Feb 07 2021 7:47 pm I think this drama is so amazing and perfect than a lot of stupid school romcoms and nonhuman stories...It is soo realistic and advisable .We can see these characters living arround us in the society..The story of these realistic couples are perfectly acted by the actors and actresses..Ji chang wook and kim ji won are in another level of expressing emotions..The plot,acting and the sceneries are perfect.If you want to watch something feel so real you should watch this drama..

Hello Feb 07 2021 12:49 am @Yuki - thanks

Ashley Feb 06 2021 11:43 am I really hoped that this wouldn’t be a happy ending for the leads. I wished for the girl to say something that really drove the guy away and then for him to meet someone new. It would’ve also been more realistic. And now with this most recent episode? I wished we got to see the girl start to do some chasing and work for the relationship because we know Jaewon has done so much. Ugh idk... it’s a good drama but this is one of the times where I don’t want the leads to end up together.

Ah-na Feb 06 2021 11:32 am Happy to be a fan of this drama since episode 1! Unusual format, pretty visuals, plus JCW & KJW’s chemistry is so good!!! I just hope that the OST will be available on Spotify lol

Mehe Feb 06 2021 1:02 am @pi thank you for saying good things about this drama and you are absolutely right now I can keep watching it peacefully love you ji chang wook and kim ji won ❤

Yuki Feb 05 2021 9:00 pm @Hello singer Isaac Hong. The title Kiss me kisa me. Released this week

Pi Feb 05 2021 8:58 pm Trending Top 1 and Top 2 on Netflix Korea. And ep 14 got 1.9 Million views and rising to reach 2 Million wies now..thats insane!! 1.9 - 2 Million views happen after initial ealeased +/- 9 Hours yesterday just insanely cool!! A web drama but it is super popular in Korea. you cant win againts quality cast and drama.

Claps claps

flower Feb 05 2021 8:55 am episode 14.... this is what i've been waiting for.... the part where he lifted her up and put her away just to see and confirm if it's really their r*** really got me swooned really satisfying :)

Beatrice Feb 05 2021 4:39 am This drama is soooo good❗❗❗ it was kinda boring when the guy got sooo heart broken and made me think what the girl is really up to. But thats what makes this the best kdrama because they made the viewers really clueless about the girl and when the episode showed little by little the story of the girl i knew this is the best kdrama. Hate how its 30mins only.?????

Hello Feb 04 2021 4:55 pm Can anyone name the song which is playing in background in the car scene of episode 13

quarantena Feb 04 2021 7:36 am if you wanna watch this, jump from episode 1 to 6 because the story is developing and getting interesting after 6th episode. its dragging and boring at first but its really good afterwards. JCW is a good actor. I hope its not a happy ending story because its not fair how much the male lead has tormented due to the female lead. Its gonna be one of my best drama if its not happy ending at the end, it has to be realistic.

Ryu Samuël Feb 03 2021 2:47 pm "she falls in love with him". The kind of scenario that I don't like at all. I hate dramas when the female lead is in love with the male lead first. Usually they are dumb and cry all the time. I want a romance drama with the male lead in love with a girl who doesn't care about him at all.

QursyeaHusin Feb 03 2021 9:41 am Luv d drama so far?.. Not too heavy...not too lite either..relaxing kind of.. Cant wait to see d ending..hope it will be a very happy ending to all d couples..!!!

Wew Feb 03 2021 5:57 am Oh...i have not watching this yet bcoz still doubting. But before i read it supposed to be 12 ep but now it be longing to 17??? Tell me whether i should watch it or not

Eka Feb 02 2021 9:15 pm This is my first time watching a web drama, The concept was very refreshing .. i love all the casts, director, writer .. the cinematography was simply but beautiful. I can feel very deep chemistry between Ji Chang Wook and Kim Ji Won which is make the drama flowing naturally .. feel like watching their reality love life .

And love struck in the city now become one of my BEST Kdrama. Thanks so much for making this beatiful KDrama ❤️

SL Feb 02 2021 8:44 pm No chemistry between the two leads...both are great actors, but b/t the two zero chemistry. I also do not think this is one of JCW's best work either. It's kinda annoying how much he is sulking over her, like literally being a little B. Can't stand it...

Granted story isn't atypical so it's refreshing

Byju Feb 02 2021 12:36 am Bestest drama , I really love it. Everything about it is pleasing. The chemistry, the plot..... its a visual treat. Dont miss it......not a cliche korean drama

Jj Feb 01 2021 3:30 am i guess it's a great drama. The plot is not that typical just like True Beauty which is too cringy.

S Jan 29 2021 9:10 pm I enjoyed this drama a lot up to maybe ep.9, but I feel like the writer should have just made JaeWon and Eunoh get back together quickly instead of making them dwell in pain and anger for soooo long. I am hoping for some changes soon. In real life, I can't see how a couple could love each other again after all that mess.

Emma Jan 29 2021 2:28 pm So I just finished watching up to episode 12, now that the two main characters have met again I hope Eun-Oh isn't going to be all shy and meek around Jae-won for the next few episodes, I know her personality was somewhat timid prior to her time at the beach living as Seon-a but it would be a real shame (and a bit of a drag) if it the series pulls a reverse K-drama trope with her suddenly behaving like a quiet demure wallflower when she'd already mentioned in earlier episodes that her time working on the beach and meeting Jae-won had given her the confidence to be more outgoing and extroverted.

Ryan Jan 29 2021 12:09 pm Kinda feel betrayed, because I like most of thought this is the story about 6...6 people but looks like everything revolves around these jae won and eun o. Is it because its just around 30min long. However I feel it's a new and unique kdrama..not a bad drama though

Moana Jan 29 2021 8:36 am I really like this plot kinda different from another kdrama. I love even more with chemistry between main roles, Love them both. It’s simple story yet romantic. I don’t care how many people hate this kdrama, as long i enjoy it every time i watch it.

Camellia Jan 27 2021 2:39 pm I enjoyed it so much<3

kika Jan 27 2021 3:00 am I am kdrama fans for years.. This mokuntetary format is new experience for me.. It was border me alot at the beginning..but make me hook at the end.. So dont afraid to start somerhing new.. Now i love it. This writer and director is superb The main role chemistry are awesome. The suporting character are also good actor and actress. Overal..this is cool drama.

Terrelyn Thomas Jan 26 2021 6:35 pm I really like both the main leads, I just don't like them together, they don't have much chemistry with one another but I like the drama okay.

B Jan 26 2021 8:28 am this interview thing kinda reminds me of “discovery of love” which i think is better than this. Too boring for me

Kiaya Jan 25 2021 8:28 am They extend the episode from 12 to 16? Yes.i am.glad. Good job! It means this is popular.

KOL Jan 24 2021 4:47 am anyone know the title of the bgm played in the bed scene on ep2?

RamenLover Jan 23 2021 11:40 pm I must say that I am impressed with the drama series (so far up to ep.10) and it's quickly turning into one of my all time favs. The drama series starts out a little bit like a puzzle, but with each episode the pieces of its story gets put together in chronological order. The drama series turns out to be quite unpredictable, in a good way as well.

I enjoy all the characters and the ambiance of the drama series is so lovely. I never noticed before but Kim Ji-Won reminds me so much of actress Lee Na-Young when she was Kim Ji-Won's age. I can't wait to see the rest of the episodes and see how the story unfolds. Two huge thumbs up for this excellent drama series!

Div Jan 23 2021 1:03 pm OMG I have to say that I am 1000% totally agree with @ Kdrama Addict. at first, I kinda like the pilot eps and all but the more I watched the more I dislike this kdrama so much I am so sorry. eps 9-10 makes me mad bcs the story keeps going just between those two, which I believe the main leads. cause I think, we will got the pov from the other two couple but I guess not. the story didn’t get anywhere and we only have 2 eps left?! omg I can’t believe this. I’m so sorry.

Lulu Jan 23 2021 7:00 am I like the Mockumentary style, so I found it refreshing to adapt it to a drama. It’s certainly not the drama of the century but it’s still interesting to watch. What we have to understand is that the writer does not seek to write a classic story as he sees in the dramas, just as he does not seek to make these characters loved either. The writer seeks to judge how people often become dopey when they are in a relationship or when they are in love. And if you’re honest, you’ll recognize that in your entourage you’ve seen people behave much worse than those when they’re in love. The writer just wants to show us the real life, a guy who forgives everything because he’s in love, a girl who reacts violently to every breakup, a selfish person who used another to forget her misfortune etc.

Kdrama Addict Jan 22 2021 10:47 pm This drama is not okay. Based on the comments, the drama is far from your typical Korean drama. It does not give you the True Beauty or Scarlet Heart Ryeo. It is good to break the stereotypes. Personally, the show is a bit boring and annoying. It would have been better since they have amazing actors. The main flaw is the writer.

Ji Chang Wok's character is whiny and moping all the time. He is a great actor, but his character did not show any character development. He is the worst simp.

Then you have Kim Ji won. She was moppy and sad however starts this whole situation. She made this conflict. Some people are going to defend her that we don't know her story. We have to wait. No, we do not have to wait. They met multiple times and chose not the tell the truth. Proceeded to make him stay another month in YangYang. She has no remorse and selfish. In episode 9, she refuses to tell the truth in front of the police.

I don't care if you film them in a nice setting with great lighting. They were annoying and definitely should not get back together. Another thing, they take most of the scenes. There is no point in having a cast of 6 people if we're only to show two people in every episode. The other four were just extras. Choi Min Ho shows up way more than the other leads. He is only the police officer. This was biased towards the lead.

I am on episode 9, and I barely know Han Ji Eun's storyline with Ryeo Kyung So. Also, Kim Min Seok and Su Ju Yeon's character are barely there. I do not know Su Ju Yeon's character's job. Is she mainly a part-timer? Does a have a career like the others? It is a big mystery.

So many things are wrong and quite bland. All the characters seem to have a boring love line except for the two leads. Why do they get to have this romantic summer while everyone else is either arguing or have a coffee date with their friends? Where is their spice?

It is a show for just the leads. I think the other actors deserve better in terms of their characters. The writers could have at least give the other couple an episode to themselves. For the couple that has the long-lasting doesn't give me a montage of their relationship. I have to hear Ji Chang Wook's story about her stealing his camera for the fifth time. Then I can at least have an episode of Kim Min Seok's relationship with his other half for more than 2 minutes.

Like I stated before, they could have easily made this show more likable if they had the writer from Because This is My First Life. Similar vibes in terms of relationships between leads and friendship. But way more intriguing and gave each character a personality.

Nadia Jan 22 2021 8:38 pm OMG I love this drama Soooooooooooo Much!!!! I swear if Netflix lets this one end the way Love Alarm did, I'll...well I won't do anything but fuss and curse them out on social media with all the good that will do. I love this drama sooo much!!!!!!!!! Oh! The wait for each episode is brutal for one who sooo loves instant gratification XD.

Richard Prager Jan 22 2021 5:42 pm How to test whether or not you like a drama? On my Netflix display it said "one Season" "ten episodes". I just finished watching episode 10 and my heart sank thinking the unfinished story would abandon me there. So relieved to see that there are 12 episodes. I wouldn't have felt so cheated (if only briefly) if I wasn't drawn to the story, characters, actors, staging, music, filming, etc. Big market for young, but mature relationship themes. Bring it on.

Fleur Jan 22 2021 10:37 am I find this series so refreshing. I'm glad I decided to give it another chance. I stopped watching after seeing the 1st 2 episodes bc it seemed slow and I didn't like the format. But catching up with the last eps over the week, my goodness- it's so good. Definitely not your typical kdrama and it's more adult driven by way of open/blunt conversation regarding love/relationship/sex etc. What I like about it the most is, it's not trying to tell a perfect love story...all (or most) of the characters are flawed in someway.

@ jan - kids should not be watching in the 1st place. Secondly, these are adults in their late 20s/early 30s who have rights to live their lives as they choose. "especially women"??? wth? what backward mentality is this? please go back and stay in the cave.

Belle Jan 20 2021 7:36 pm This drama is starting to be good from episode 8, before that it’s just full of interview and I found it’s a bit boring. But since episode 8 it’s more story than interview so it’s getting kore interesting.

nicolle Jan 19 2021 10:41 pm For anyone who's asking abt the title of the song played in episode 7 where the four of them are dancing it's I know betta by Lauren Evans ?

Lola Jan 19 2021 8:52 pm Lovestruck. script. And new character has really given Ji Chang Wook a great chance to let us know what a really good actor he is. That heart wrenching crying, drunk scene in,the restaurant and the rage scene showing how badly she hurt him were just two. Of his outstanding scenes. I love him in rom. coms but I have to acknowledge the fact that. Its time to give him a serious difficult role soon because he's ready to take it and go with it.

Ems Jan 19 2021 12:13 pm This series is def deviating from the usual Kdrama format. It is good to show what happens after a breakup esp one that was one-sided. My friend is in that situation and he finds it extremely hard to get over her. He rereads her texts etc. To him just like ML, it doesn't make sense. They were getting along just fine. ML needs closure but how can he when FL has given false name? I feel for him. At times though it drives me nuts he can't just let bygones be bygones. Then again she stole his Leica, very expensive camera. Of course it doesn't help that he's seen her. That's just pouring oil into fire! Can't wait 2 c what writers have in store for us. As 4 girls choosing 1 night stands above long term relationships, that is not the norm. What is the reason? Ditto 4 not wanting any relationship at all? Def not normal for a guy unless he's a priest or so.

Tilyn Jan 19 2021 3:37 am omg.lov it. drama and comedy. excited every tuesday and friday. lav yah.

Nadia Jan 18 2021 7:46 pm I am looooooooving the chemistry. I also love the way this is filmed. The quick scene changes when they are monologuing is tough with subtitles but I really love the way this is filmed. I couldn't have imagined a better cast for this drama especially the two main leads and I can't wait to see what other entanglements and relationships unfold as the episodes air. This drama is gold and the soundtrack is lovely and fresh. Great cast, awesome soundtrack, and an intriguing story. Really enjoying this drama.

Renoir Jan 18 2021 1:58 am Anyone know the song from episode 7 when the four were dancing

Lakshita Jan 17 2021 8:33 am What song was played in ep 7 when yoon seon ah, rin, geon were dancing

Lakshita Jan 17 2021 8:30 am The song played in ep 7 when they were painting is love and pain of akmu which is yet to be fully released but u can check out the trailer

Vinci Jan 17 2021 6:06 am Please answer my question. What is the song in ep. 3 in the background around 21:25. I’m so frustrated trying to search for it but no luck... ☹️

Lola Jan 16 2021 5:58 pm Loved this one. Lovestruck wAS a good story. Good acting too. Hi. Chang wook.'s. acting gets better and better. He just stands out. .

Noonim Jan 15 2021 8:41 pm Love their chemistry and how he looks at her! ? Great casting and can’t wait to watch the rest of it!

Emma Jan 15 2021 7:55 pm I highly recommend giving Lovestruck in the City a watch, however, if you're an avid K-drama fan I would advise going into it with an open mind as this particular K-drama strays away from the traditional format in favour of something a little more experimental, choosing instead to lean slightly (but only slightly) into a more Western approach to its storytelling, mainly in its depiction of the relationships and displays of affection exhibited by the characters... Don't let that put you off though, it still very much has that K-drama vibe!

Personally, I'm absolutely adoring this series, the chemistry between both the main couple and the other characters feels so natural and realistic and although it's not your typical k-drama format it's kinda refreshing to see the main couple display their affection for each other in a less reserved manner.

I also love the aesthetics of the series, the dreamy warm tones and filters during the holiday flashbacks serve as a poignant juxtaposition to the present-day scenes, particularly during moments when the main couple are struggling to get over each other.

Vinci Jan 15 2021 5:33 pm What’s the song in episode 3 on the beach with the lyrics “i’ll never know... i’ll be ok...”

Kirah Jan 15 2021 1:15 pm I am really enjoying the kdrama. What most people are not liking about the show is that it is not the same as the other dramas. It brings in a new spin by breaking away from the classic kdrama. Bringing about its own. Spin. That allows for a new version of the show. I recommend it to those who don't mind watching the same kdramas shows. Its really good.

duh Jan 15 2021 12:54 pm i cant stop smiling when watching this drama especially on their intimate scenes but this drama also make my heart shattered into pieces knowing that letting go of someone is very hatf

Juuroku Jan 15 2021 11:22 am Who knows the song that played when they were painting their surfboard on ep7? I literally googled the lyrics but nothing appeared.

Eloise Jan 14 2021 10:42 pm I really enjoy this webdrama. Instead of waiting 10 episodes to watch intimacy between couples in other K dramas, this is definitely more realistic. The first and second episodes were so relatable to me, personally. And that is what kept me going. I hope more people will find it refreshing and new instead of bashing this webdrama as boring. Also, JCW and KJW look so good together! Definitely perfect visual!!

Dramalander99 Jan 13 2021 9:22 pm It has that serendipity vibes but the main girl is lacking self confidence.

So Lala Jan 13 2021 2:31 am Look how I mistaken Han Ji Eun to Han Seung Yeon (again) until I check this page ? they coulda been twins, their surname is same too

Jm Jan 12 2021 5:29 am May I know the 2 songs from episode 7, first the song when jcw and kjw paint their surf board, second song song when it rain after kjw get rid of her surfboard

TeeEl Jan 11 2021 4:55 pm I am not Korean but this drama hits different w a very impressive storyline. This is a unique storytelling mechanism hence why people are hesitant to watch and even criticize. I highly recommend this drama. I love it.

Mari Jan 10 2021 7:17 pm I think some people are viewing this show from the wrong angle. While the show is in Korean, it is not a typical kdrama and I feel like people need to acknowledge this. Being a webdrama on netflix, it allows them to be experimental outside of what the korean network channels allow them. Additionally, the show is obviously catering to international viewers as well and not just Koreans.

Honestly, I like the pacing of the show. I find it annoying that most kdramas make us wait so long for intimacy between the couples. This is a feel-good drama that portrays the realistic struggles and happiness that comes with love. I'm actually astounded by how many people are being so pessimistic about this show just because it's different.

RamenLover Jan 10 2021 12:15 am About the band Beetlejuice ... they are a fictional band (I just know because I grew up in that period of brit pop and there wasn't ever a famous band with that name). My guess - The fictional group is inspired by Oasis and has the name Beetle in it as Oasis seemed to worship the Beatles.

czt Jan 09 2021 8:32 am i dont hate it but i also dont love it .... everything about this drama seems kind of rushed? seeing that even the 1st script reading took place in september kind of makes sense why everything is so rushed ... like for episode 6 (!!!! SPOILER !!!! Dont Read Further IF You Havent Seen It) they wasted basically half of the episode for simply a game?? like cmon they couldve used those minutes better for something more interesting ... such good actors but sadly the script of this drama doesnt showcase their talent enough but one thing must be said the cinematography is on point!! but as expected from the epic its okay to not be okay director!

Lucas Jan 08 2021 11:41 pm I can't seem to find Kiss me Kiss me by Beetlejuice in Spotify or Youtube. I'm dying to listen to the full version :(

Peter M Jan 08 2021 10:44 pm This drama is almost unwatchable. 'Almost' only because I know the actors are trying valiantly to make it a success. The worst element of this drama is the use of monologues. These are terribly annoying because they break up the flow of the narrative and presents the characters as self absorbed. I was looking forward to watching Ryu Kyung-soo and Chang Wook.

le Jan 07 2021 7:26 pm I can't seem to find the kiss me kiss me song anywhere :(

Cyan Jan 07 2021 5:05 pm Hyunjin of Stray Kids recommended this! He even said he dont usually watch ongoing dramas but he liked this so much so now he's gonna wait weekly haha

Zaida Jan 07 2021 4:18 pm Anyone know the name of the song at the end of episode 5?

gnz Jan 07 2021 7:05 am One of the songs in the background is from Min Kyung Hoon's rock band Buzz. "Buzz - Thorn". The scene while driving in the camping car.

heichouleviackermanz Jan 06 2021 8:59 am Hey can anyone tell me where they can find the song Kiss Me Kiss Me by BeetleJuice?? It's not on youtube nor google. I'm dying to listen to the full version.

Britt Jan 04 2021 5:17 pm Hm, it def is different 2 usual kdrama setup. I am in 2 minds about it. I liked the beginning: snapshots of 3 couples with the main focus on the architect and his holiday love, the other 2 couples just filling in. However, I would very much like the plot of the latter to evolve more. I am curious what the writer has in store for the girl who likes one night stands (very not what we r used 2 from kdramas) and the writer who doesn't. The other two have been dating for ages. How about seeing them getting married first? My own parents had a whirlwind romance of six weeks and tied the knot with my mother moving across the pond. However, 30 minutes is too short!!! I guess it's partly because of Covid and partly because Chin Wook has become one of the top 10 best paid Korean actors. He was amazing in The empress Xi, good in The healer and excellent in Suspicious Partners but I am sorry to say not so convincing in this series. Then again, didn't he marry a couple of months ago? Kissing in Korean series means a lot, I guess in life too. Not easy to separate private life from professional life.

yh Jan 04 2021 1:40 pm i like it so far .. giving me early 2000s american movie vibes and i totally love it and live for it

vannity Jan 04 2021 1:49 am Do you know the song at the end of episode 4? It has lyrics like this, “I have no words to say, I have no words.......” I don’t know what’s next. Please help.

Moni Jan 03 2021 6:17 pm Anybody knows the song playing on eps 3 when his waiting on the trailer for her to come @ 6 o'clock?

Blymie Jan 03 2021 2:36 pm Also interested in more info or what I can find cover of the song Kiss Me Kiss Me by BeetleJuice used in episode 3.

Unknown Jan 02 2021 9:52 pm Hei bro cant you tell me about this song ep3 beetle juice kiss kiss me song

Aquanatuon Jan 02 2021 2:59 pm Anybody know what song playing in eps 4 when they running on the hill in a pouring rain? Thank you

El Jan 01 2021 9:02 am I've read all the comments.. and I guess not all of them had experience this kind of romance, so some of them can't quite enjoy or 'feel related' with this drama

As for me, I believe this is the way you find your soul love, not bcs you both start as friend and trying your best to love.. like typically in movie/drama but just, you soul know she/he is the one.. so you both instantly match, your heart knows it

and if you have found her/him, you know you will never be in love other than with her/him. and, you choose not to be in other relationship bcs you know if it does happen, you are deceiving yourself.

i rate this drama 10/10 bcs the writer wrote it beautifully with so much detail and the director potrayed it very well (all the soundtrack match) also can't ask other main character to play it very well? both of them looks like they're really in love jcw make kjw comfortable, no one can deny that

Rizky Hamdanih Jan 01 2021 12:49 am This drama so unique. Love this drama.

Emma Dec 31 2020 5:28 pm Only 3 episodes in so far and I'm very intrigued, it's very different to what we're used to with most k-drama formats, I like the unusual way it tells the main couple's story with flashbacks and mockumentary-style interviews.

I'm assuming all 16 episodes have Eun-O and Jae-Won as the focus with the supporting cast continuing to interject occasionally with their own interconnecting stories? I like the other characters but I'm definitely more invested in Eun-O and Jae-Won's love story so I hope that continues to be the case.

Yu Dec 31 2020 1:58 am I am sleepy while watching this drama. I don't know why this drama is so boring. Maybe because the directing concept unlike others drama.

Lizzy Dec 30 2020 7:14 am I love the concept of this drama! It’s so unique and refreshing!! 30mins for 16 episodes is not enough!! We love to see KJW & JCW more!! Season 2, please!!❤️❤️❤️

Jenni Dec 29 2020 10:00 pm Great drama. Lots of fun. Beautiful cinematography, eye-catching cast. I'm really enjoying this refreshing style.

Fryingpancouple Dec 29 2020 10:11 am Love the concept of this show!

c1ty_boy Dec 29 2020 2:50 am Love this drama so much, but can u give me the Sountrack plssss

stanskz Dec 29 2020 2:34 am ive been waiting for this drama and i was so excited about it. i love the idea of the show but i kinda got lost onto how they were talking and responding to each other? maybe im just lost but as i said the idea is really nice! cant wait for episode three!!

Bs Dec 28 2020 10:42 am This seems nice and refreshing.

thyosi Dec 28 2020 1:47 am This movie remind meof hot and sweet

UnpopularOpinion Dec 27 2020 6:35 pm Watching ep 1 was torture enough but I decided to give it one more chance and ep 2 gave double the cringe... I don’t get it at all... most people love this drama but it really feels like torture to me... And obviously because of the poor script and directing, they have to cover it up with love scenes that are just unnecessary... anyways ... (sigh)

CC Dec 27 2020 7:44 am This documentary film style is great and refreshing!! So far, all the montages help with telling each individuals story - the beautiful visuals definitely set the feeling and mood. Also, Finally, a KDrama that had intimate/bed scenes that resembles a scene one would find in a “Hollywood” film (not full on but close enough) ? haha... Great to see JCW back on the big screen - excellent actor and boy, I’ve missed watching his kissing/intimate scenes! Keep up the good work Lovestruck in the City!

CC Dec 26 2020 8:49 pm Eps 2 was hot lol the chemistry is no joke! The non-linear narrative and the cinematography is so beautiful. Looking forward to watchibg eps 3.

Cknote Dec 26 2020 7:50 pm I have enjoyed the first two episodes and I'm looking forward to the rest. The cast is a lot of fun and I even enjoy the cameos.

lisa Dec 26 2020 1:13 am this drama reminds me of The Office

Jay Dec 25 2020 3:24 pm I love this drama, the two actors alone,JiChangWook and Kim Ji won. I love their connection. They look amazing together. Nice drama, very relatable for covid the season. Relaxing and enjoyable. Kisses to both Wookie and wonniee.

Kenri Basar Dec 24 2020 10:34 pm Love the cinematography... for a change it was fun to watch adults having fun and enjoying in the first episode. The beach scenes were so interesting... young viewers may find it boring but I love it... it reminds me of dramas that were warm and interesting... I think they are engaging the camera because someone is making a wedding documentary... let us see how it progress in the coming days...

hotchoco Dec 24 2020 7:39 am Is this what they call mockumentary? It's really unique and engaging Not your typical romcom but when you already know what to expect It's really really fun to watch

kdrama addict Dec 24 2020 7:22 am i hate to say this... why the drama is boring, i love kim jiwon and hope it will be more interesting

Eliz Dec 24 2020 7:15 am Hmm I think this drama isn't my cup of tea. I'm bored. Imo, the convos are even not engaging.

siayu22 Dec 23 2020 4:22 pm Interesting drama. And the cast are awesome. Waiting for ep 2.

Mooooo Dec 23 2020 10:27 am Episode 1 was kinda boring and disapponting

Soundarya Dec 23 2020 7:52 am I am in love with ep 1... It was different to see cinematography like this... Kudos for trying a new way... Hope it stays true to it and give us something unique

Deepali Gulati Dec 23 2020 7:27 am I mean Wow!! The thought behind creating a series that is different from the usual Kdramas was a risk but totally worth it! The cinematography, the colors, introduction and moreover the interactive part with the audience is superb! I am certain this drama will be a success! All the characters look sharp and on point. Great director and actors! And of course it has the King of Kdramas, The Ji Chang Wook so one can expect great acting, seductive eyes, love and sincerity towards the work he does! Definitely recommend everyone to watch it if you want a break from the cliche Kdramas!!

Henry Dec 23 2020 7:22 am Why only appears 1 episode PJJ??. Miss him playing in dramas

John Dec 23 2020 7:12 am Cast was great... story was boring and confusing

Hello Dec 22 2020 10:40 pm I admit this interview format was a bit confusing, but it's a refreshing concept, and I like the overall feel of the drama, it feels really warm. I also love all the actors and actresses in here, especially Kim Ji Won, can't wait for more!

Ka2 Dec 22 2020 5:19 pm New concept kdrama Amazing directing Good cast and outstanding chemistry

Thank you Desember!

Disappointed Dec 22 2020 3:02 pm To westernized. If it wasn't for the spoken language I would have not known I was watching a kdrama!

Qursyea Dec 22 2020 1:48 pm Luv from malaysia.. !!! I think JCW is a very good actor ..he reminds me of Hugh Grant !! Fly High Chang Wook !! Chiayok!! Plz remember your fans here.. in malaysia !!!

Nuns Dec 22 2020 10:19 am I like JCW but rest of the cast I don’t really care for. I do not like this actress So Yu Yeong, I think she is pretty at all and her acting is annoying.

Belle Dec 22 2020 6:34 am Episode 1 makes me keep smiling seeing their cute interaction. I hope the story gets better and more exciting.

kaveen Dec 22 2020 12:19 am JCW is the best actor as far as when we compare to the people who are on screen in these days i think the main reason to have such a big base to him is because he is sooo good in all romance action and comedy .... There are only few people who are really capable in these categories and I hope every actor can be like him .so me and my friend both are waiting to this new drama and for the dramas in the future ?....

What Dec 21 2020 11:19 am Weird timeslot lol. Tuesday’s and Friday’s?

Somi Dec 17 2020 11:47 pm Ahhh this is cute!!! Love love

Krio Dec 17 2020 6:47 pm Ji Chang Wook is one of the best actor of his generation. He is very versatile. I miss his older dramas Healer, Warrior Baek Dong Soo, and especially Empress Ki (which is not an action drama but his acting ability really shine along with veteran actors in the cast). This looks good and relatable but honestly feels very generic and just a filler drama. As in looking from the teasers, I have seen these couple stories many times before. Their Christmas poster also gives major 'Because this is my first life'. Hopefully, JCW will find a script that can properly utilize and showcase his acting range

Mika Dec 13 2020 1:30 am Omaay gad excited for Choi Minho's special appearance hoping for Minho and Jiwon scene its been a year since they working together for To The Beautiful You, im so excitedd

Choona Dec 13 2020 1:26 am Ohhh Miho will have special appearance hoping for Choi Minho and Kim Ji Won scene To The Beautiful You feels kang tae joon and seol hana. Looking forward for this drama fighting!!

Imy Dec 10 2020 12:14 am Awwwww the cast thoughhhh... looove it before watching it.. so sure that it gonna be a hit ... finally a gd drama to wait for

Tbrown201416 Dec 08 2020 12:38 pm I am so excited! I was already excited about Ji Chang Wook but my bias Minho has a cameo as well! Can’t wait!

Wed Dinopol Dec 08 2020 2:59 am so excited but ji chang is a versatile actor we need his acting skills on heavy drama like empress ki and action movies like k2

AnnaB Dec 05 2020 5:27 pm Why?? Just whyyyy? Ji chang wook is a versatile actor so I don't understand why he keeps going for boring romantic comedies.... I shall pass on this one. His latest dramas have been so bad...

Hush Dec 04 2020 5:35 pm After what he choice for two previous work, those producers give him many simple romance drama..Again amd again.. he finally waste his talent, the high place been replaced, his higher place as king of action to become a typical romcom actor .when he has so many good point on himself.he is so handsome,martial art,good acting back then, and now..see?? He need strong role who can show his real talent and real emotion...romcom and romance cant give him that. now he become ordinary actor with ordinary acting skill.i cant even stand to see his acting in his two previous drama, I am angry with him. Romcom is not for him. He.should choive more serious drama..please ji chang wook wake up!

Betty Dec 03 2020 12:23 am I miss his character in K2 and Healer .. I hope he will chose those type characters next. But I heard he will play magician on the next drama , still being reviewed and he is considering it seriously- info from jcw kitchen.

Meow Dec 01 2020 7:13 pm His last best drama was literally Healer. God...

Rok Dec 01 2020 3:55 pm I literally gave up on JCW romcoms. They are all the same boring, tiring and unwatchable. I keep watching for Wookie but they all turn out the same so I’m done. I know the drama didn’t start yet but I’m honestly not looking forward to it. I’m going to go find something else to watch.

Maejoycarnaje Dec 01 2020 12:43 pm Oh my God cant wait to see them.

bruh Dec 01 2020 10:09 am i can't believe this? people are actually arguing over the fact that he's doing romcoms? what even. first and foremost, it's the actor's personal choice what kind of role he wants to play, maybe he wants to take a break from all the fighting or he likes this genre...or for whatever reason but it's his personal choice.

second, you don't like him in these roles? fine then, don't watch it. there's where your choice lies. i get it, his two consecutive romcoms were not upto the par, but that's not his fault! he's giving his best even in those roles. you can't blame the actor for a poorly written drama.

lastly, stop judging the drama, it hasn't even aired yet. end of rant. peace.

You dont know Nov 27 2020 10:25 am Non fans said: "He is sexy when he plays dark character, strong person specially action genre, or other genre instead romcom, because his handsome level is similar with idol, you know so many idols play romcom, no need high acting level for romcom, so nothing new if he play romcom again and.. about this drama, lets hope the execution is gpod"

Old Fans said: "He can choose whatever he wants, what role whom can make him happy, he got another movie after this and rhe movie is action or thriller so, let just wait and see Mr Ji wanna take vacation from action genre for a while, and dont forget, he played a role in romance, hystorical drama, thrillet and family drama before hiller, K2 and fabricated city. He only cast 3 times for action drama and 1 for movie but WHY people think he is an acrion genre actor? When he played so many romance drama, family drama, hystorical drama before? Everyone who say he is action genre actor probably new fans. You are new fans, you dont know JCW played on sooo many genre before.

Aba Nov 27 2020 9:57 am I like JCW better when he's taking up the role of those dark and strong characters. Too much of romcom from him now.

Blaze Nov 26 2020 5:49 am Ohhhh excited....dec 8

Yo Nov 25 2020 5:35 pm Jcw needs a dark character please give him that kind of role.

Gq Nov 24 2020 6:04 pm 1st romance drama genre for jcw. Thats good.

Please no romcom anymore
