Something in the Rain (2018)

first of all i really love (jung hae in) character and role,
first time to watch him he is a capable actor really a very cute one
there was a very good chemistry between him and son ye jin

the story was really nice delightful and very heartwarming till the last ep.

on the contrary of most of my friends opinion i found it was a powerful reason they left each other for
cause he wants to escape leaving her with such shame without trying to support her to purify her name,
he just want to forget everything
but his thinking was just like that according to his age and experience at work field

the real problem about the end for me WAS
how come with their level of love the end is soooooooooooooooooooo lukewarm and not satisfied like that
this is really sad although it's happy but doesn't fill my eagerness or ravenous towards a powerful end full of emotions and a specific one like they decided to get married through all the circumstances as if she had time to have boyfriend instead of a husband

i know age in front of an independent woman won't be a barrier but when i found my true love what 'll be my excuse to continue till the end :\
i was soooo frustrated really T_T

Unsatisfied with Making Love Scene

*Something in the Rain*

I watched this drama for more than 3 times. Flowing with the smoothly, lovely sequences, feels the warmth of falling in love. Capturing small things & gestures are the best attempt to make this drama succesfully builds up senses of love on screen. Excellent!

The courageous to inform that having sex before marriage in Korean society as common is highly admired. But unfortunately this part of scene are too bland & unelaborated. It looks like Kim Eun or Pan Seok suddenly hesitant to explore this part as well as before. I expect seeing how they stare eye to eye, physically caressed each other, gently kissing hair/nose/shoulder/neck, just to show how's Jun-hui deeply & madly fall in love with Jin-a's charm & vice versa. This love making scene must be become the peak of their inside feeling which already succeed built up on screen previously. Trying to procceed slight libido on screen will be great, and also avoiding impression that having sex is just only as an epiphenomenon of love.

Yes, too short ending, of course. Also Jun-hui's changing his mind only by suddenly hearing Jin-a's recorded voice is rather unlogic. But I still love your work. Lovely!

Expectativas frustradas da minha parte

Evolução lenta da história e problemas que não fazem sentido pra dois adultos.
É totalmente plausível a estranheza dos outros por causa desse romance, já que eles sempre tiveram muita proximidade. Mas na minha opinião, não era um amor proibido. A mãe da protagonista valorizava muito mais o status social que o caráter do namorado da filha. Mas a filha, mesmo com 35 anos, só foi seguir suas vontades no último episódio. Faria sentido se fosse um romance adolescente, mas no contexto de dois adultos, não acho crível.
Gostei dos primeiros episódios e do último. Os do meio são um marasmo.

LO QUE EN UN PRINCIPIO AMÉ, LO TERMINÉ ODIANDO

Vi este drama en emisión desde el capítulo 1, por el cast estaba esperándolo desde que lo anunciaron y mi emoción era grande. Comencé el primer capítulo y lo terminé FASCINADA. Nunca había visto un drama de este estilo, coversaciones, situaciones y personajes calmados y serenos que traían un realismo al drama con el que las interacciones de los personajes se sentían cotidianas. Mi problema con el drama no es porque me haya parecido lento o aburrido como muchos opinan, yo continué con el resto de los capítulos y estaba tan encantada con la química de Son Ye Jin y Jung Hae In que un simple roce de manos me hacía emocionar.

El drama seguía avanzando y la pareja enfrentaba problemas que como adultos sensatos lograban resolver y seguían construyendo su relación. El verdadero conflicto que tengo con este drama y el inicio de mi disgusto hacia él comienza cuando las familias se involucran, en este caso la mamá de Jin Ah. Entiendo perfectamente que la sociedad coreana y sobre todo las generaciones pasadas no aceptan tan facilmente una relación de una mujer mayor con un hombre menor y que Jin Ah debía obedecer a sus padres al ser una mujer soltera en una familia tradicional, pero que eso ocurra no significa que esté bien y es una excusa muy simple que causó daños a muchos.

Lo que yo no estoy de acuerdo con esto no es solo que Jin Ah es una adulta responsable e independiente de 35 años de edad que puede y debe tomar sus propias decisiones, sino que además se acobardó y se rindió por completo en su relación con Joon Hee sin siquiera intentarlo sabiendo que él es parte de su vida también. Aún despues de hacerle saber lo mucho que a él le gustaba estar en Corea lo hizo que regresara a Estados Unidos abandonándolo en sus planes de viajar juntos, además perdió su amistad con su amiga de toda la vida ya que le rompió el corazón a su hermano. Jin Ah necesita conocer lo que es la RESPONSABILIDAD AFECTIVA.

Ya para el final del drama estaba completamente desinteresada en lo que ocurriría pero seguía esperanzada a que resolvieran todo de una manera sana tal como había sido su relación por mucho tiempo, pero luego llega el cliché del salto del tiempo y años despues regresa Joon Hee y todo sigue exactamente igual a como si hubiera pasado 1 semana y eso parece que fue porque literalmente en los ÚLTIMOS 3 MINUTOS los protagonistas deciden volver a estar juntos, y lo peor de todo es que ni siquiera resolvieron sus problemas, incluso Jin Ah olvida a su novio al que ni parece importarle, jamás recuperó la amistad con su amiga y mucho menos enfrentó a su mamá para estar con Joon Hee, dejo todo de lado para estar con él JUSTO COMO DEBIÓ HACER AÑOS ATRÁS ANTES DE QUE SE ARRUINARA TODO.

Es un drama que se centra en el romance pero para nada me parece un romance para admirar, porque se supone que es entretenimiento y que para eso son.

Real Life Situations.

The show is about two friends, becoming lovers. a kdrama trope you're mostly going to see. This show made me feel A LOT of emotions. Mostly going from happy to mad. And repeating.

The story is pretty real. Y'know parents not liking the guy her daughter's dating and thinks of him as family. Pretty alright. And with the whole thing with the se*ual harassment at work situation.
The only thing that's stopping me from this becoming my favorite is Jin-a's character. She's too weak, like very weak when it comes to standing her ground. Sure she did argue with her Mother saying "Jin-hui's the one" but that's all she can do. Say that. She can never stand her ground and stop making her self be a controlled puppet. I consider her one of the most annoying female leads out of all female leads I've seen. The only characters you can even like a bit is Jin-a's dad, Jin-hui's Sister and himself. Maybe a bit of Jin-a's brother.

The whole timestamp being an hour and something something minutes long was SO unnecessary honestly. Hospital Playlist did WAY better with the time duration than these fools did. Made me even have to use speed by 1.5x on Netflix to not waste time.

The acting is too amazing to even talk about. ESPICIALLY. ESPICIALLY JIN-A'S MOTHER! OMO, her acting to AMAZINGGGG!!! They're even some times when I even hate her character to the fullest, but can understand her to! I watched this drama because of Jung Hae In and Son Ye Jin, wasn't really worth much though.

The music, shut up with it already. I know One Spring Night does it but geez bro, the sound track here is cringe, well, one of them. "It's hard to be a woman"," SHUT UP! The worst soundtrack in this show. Love Alarm even had better soundtracks then this lol and I don't even like Love Alarm that much.

The re watch value? LOW! I cannot stand Jin-a's annoying mother in SO much scenes, could only re watch for my lovely Jung Hae In and a bit of Son Ye Jin

In total, If I knew how bad the female lead was, I wouldn't have watched. So I wouldn't recommend this to anybody unless they wanna ki*l themselves with long time duration and boringness in this show.
I could've even re watch Vincenzo with this ridiculous timestamp. I consider anybody who gives this a 9 or higher a straight out monster, sorry not sorry. One Spring Night is better in some aspects.
I'm only giving it a 7 BECAUSE of the main couple <3

Very solid first 4 episodes then not worth watching :(

I was really disappointed because the drama had so much promise! The camera pacing was super slow and the music was a bit weird, but I loved the first 4 episodes. Jin Ah and Joon Hee's interactions were extremely cute and their chemistry was believable! However, by the 5th episode, the main character started getting on my nerves and now I understood why the average rating was only 7.9/10 stars... The characters starting having random conflicts for no reason. There is no meaningful plot! There was only alternating fluff and conflict. I could not keep watching. As a side note, it is not attractive at all to smoke cigarettes in this day and age!! No matter how aesthetically pleasing the male lead is, that is 0/10 points for cuteness.

The drama starts off okay, and was pretty interesting especially since it provided a break from the typical and cliche kdrama relationship dynamics. It was definitely on the slow-moving side though, and started to get really boring after the first few episodes. The plot failed to present with interesting twists that'll keep a viewer like me watching. THE OST though, is something that would stick in your head. It helps that the main ost was an english song, making it more meaningful to non-korean speaking people like me! I loved Jung Hae In, but honestly would NOT recommend this drama, unless you are really really interested in such age gap storylines, because this whole noona theme is the main draw of the drama.
