Ma seule chanson d'amour (2017)

TL;DR Everything about this drama sucks except for the romance

I'll start off with the positives: the chemistry between the leads is really good, and I think the romance part of this drama was handled very well. Their relationship was convincingly built up over time, and the leads had an interesting enough push and pull, flirty yet bickering dynamic that it didn't feel slow.

Unfortunately, that's where the positives of this drama ends.

Honestly this drama (or at least the first half of it, hopefully it gets better) is the perfect example of why the "show don't tell" rule is important.

The first nine episodes dedicate almost half of their runtime (which is extremely precious when your episodes are literally 30 min long) to introducing a character via narration. And somehow, even though it goes for that long, the information presented is both super meager and can be found out naturally by just watching the show and seeing the characters' actions and dialogue. If you do end up watching this drama, which I don't recommend, do yourself a favor and just read the Netflix episode descriptions and skip the narration bits because they literally present the same information; the only difference is that the netflix description takes like 5 seconds to read and the drama version takes half the episode. It was only marginally cute when they did it for On Dal because he's the lead, and it made it seem more like a folk tale. But no, they didn't stop there, and it carried on for nine episodes. And with every episode, it seems like I'm spending more and more time hearing about the life stories of characters I haven't seen before and who I don't care about. By the end, they were even introducing the van for 15 minutes and giving it a sad backstory. THE VAN. THEY GAVE THE INANIMATE VAN A SAD BACKSTORY. AND IT WASN'T EVEN A QUICK GAG IT LITERALLY TOOK HALF THE EPISODE.

Even apart from the narration, the characters repeat exposition info SO. MANY. TIMES. A character trait will be revealed about x character and every time that character appears, they'll bring up that character trait. The other characters will also bring up that trait every time they talk about that character.

For example, the side character Ilyong is egotistical. Every other line out of his mouth is comparing himself to a flower. When other characters talk about him, all they say is "Oh have you heard about Ilyong? He's so egotistical and always compares himself to a flower, it's so weird." Then the next scene he shows up and he's like "Wow I look like a flower." DO YOU SEE THE PROBLEM HERE

And then apart from that, everything else is just kind of meh.

The music is fine; I didn't dislike it or like it particularly, but it's forgettable. Rewatch value is an absolute 0 if you intend on watching the whole thing again bc I'm sure that the overly long narration would be even more painful when it's introducing info that you already know, and there are a lot of scenes that drag on way too long. But with *very* generous use of the skip button (aka literally skipping every scene that the leads aren't together in), rewatching the leads' dynamic would be enjoyable.

Usually I hate time travel because its just not my cup of tea. But I started this and I didnt regret it!! I love this drama so so SOOO MUCH!! It was so cute and it had action in it to make you wanna watch more!! I hope there is a season 2!!

Story- Like I said before I dont like time travel but this drama make me wanna watch more of time travel. The story of it is just amazing and I wish it was longer and not only 20 episodes that 30 minutes long.

Acting/Cast- The cast is amazing and it fits the drama. The actor who plays On Dal is so charming in my opinion!! (fangirls) Also, the actress who play "Nann-yeon" is such an amazing actress, I wanna watch more dramas of them two together!!

Music- I love the music in this drama so much!! I sing along with it whenever it plays!! It;s one of my favourite soundtracks!!

Rewatch Value- I actually rewatched this after I first finished it because I loved it so much!!

Overall- I recommend this to everyone who loves a historical romance!!!

Crude and over the top

This had been on my radar for a long time but I had never comitted to watch. When it turned up for streaming I thought "why not finally watch it?"

It turned out I hadnt really been missing anything, I made it to the 5th episode before deciding to drop it. There was promise of humor but even though there were indeed some moments that were funny most of the humor was very crude. I also didnt like the female lead as while it can be fun to watch a flawed character she was really unpleasant andobnoxious and without redeeming qualities. The male lead was all over the place. One minute hes this cunning person only for the next to be rather gullible.

For fairness sake however On Dal talking to the GPS system was one of the things I did find funny.

Overall there was just this sense of over the top acting going on.

This is my first time reviewing a drama.. and this drama was really good

Story: The story was good ,I would give it an 8 ,it had a lot of twist and turns.The story was fun to watch

Acting/Cast: The acting and the cast was really good. They gave equal parts to all the main characters. And as expected from the WGM couple.. Their skinship was amazing .The romance didn't look forced
and the kissing scenes were a must rewatch.

Music: It was a good , but not a memorable one

Rewatch: i just finished the drama and i really want to rewatch some scenes , For the rewatch level I give it an 8

Overall: i felt this drama is fun to watch , and a good drama for time pass..

No doubt, this show further proves that Lee Jong Hyun and Gong Seung Yeon's chemistry is really MAGICAL! Although JH has been thought to be better off as an idol and a musician/singer than an actor, his acting opposite someone he truly/obviously adores in real life, apparently helped in overcoming his awkwardness as an actor. The lovely SY has been showing steady progress and strong skills in acting since she debuted, so she pulled off the spoiled, potty-mouthed, top-star and lovable character! Haha! She was able to balance off that sexy and elegant vis-a-vis serious and funny Soojung whom charismatic Ondal and narcissistic Gen. Ko Ilyong would fall for. Joo-hyung Park's skilled portrayal of the narcissistic villain is spot on, and truly hilarious, which makes the show more enjoyable to watch. Lee Jaejin's Samyong is also memorable and endearing; Didn't know Jaejin could act so well! Bravo to all the actors!

Many scenes appeared to be referenced from JH and SY's stint in We Got Married, which worked nonetheless, especially since this drama undoubtedly has a built-in fan-base; And many would be more than satisfied to see the long-awaited onscreen reunion that comes with bonus intimate scenes between the two main leads. Since this show is a web-drama and expects foreign viewership, the usually censored lines/actions and kissing scenes in Korean TV dramas were done away with. Those kissing scenes, by the way, were done confidently with passion and intensity. It was indeed a great move to cast JH and SY to be the leads in this drama!

There was some trouble with continuity of scenes and the storyline. The show also obviously lacked budget/the luster of the usual cast-of-a-thousand-extras/actors saeguk dramas; But when you are too busy swooning over the visuals and sweetness of the 2 main characters, all is glossed over with the taste of honey that overflows from every interaction of Soojong and Ondal. The director and production team did a good job anyhow, with the resources made available for them. The script obviously invested more on the main leads and it worked just fine.

If only for the contagious sweetness of the 2 main leads/characters, together with the magic that they create together that lights up the screen, this drama is quite a RECHARGING experience that is worth to be rewatched over and over. A Season 2 would be even better!

i really really loved this drama it gave me drama fever for 4 days straight the plot and story fit together perfectly but i think the drama needed more than 20 episodes to express the true means of it. i also have to be completely honest i really don't think that gong seung yeon really portrayed the character song soo jung that well she didn't seem to have that bad rich girl feel i expected but lee jong hyun did ondal perfectly he espressed how money was just a hobby to get over his mother that was sold to people

i really didn't pay attendion to the music but hey the drama is called my only love song so yeah there should be good music am i right?.

princess pyung gang and moo myung were a couple you could tell from a start that they were going to fall in love as moo myung had great care and loyalty for her and he would always do what she said but from the start moo myung fell for her first but he couldn't understand his feelings for her which left the romance complicated but over alll

this drama was GOOD THANKS FOR READING MY REVIEW
