Happy Ending Outside the Fence (2022)

THIS DESERVES A LOT MORE LOVE

Hmm i was just really frustrated with the comments and reviews of the other people here. Like if you don't like or get something, just drop it. There's no need to leave negative reviews. We all have series we drop or don't get or make us feel frustrated, but not necessarily share the negative thoughts. We just drop and move on.

So it's my second time re-watching this one, and i have to say it is totally a 10. Of course there is room for improvement, but still the last result is on top. The story is not for everyone one. Those who have been in at least 1 toxic relationship know how it is ,what it means to be in the endless darkness, and not being able to move on from it. But even if you haven't, you know at least one person who has, so the characters are really well written. The toxic relationship between the mains is something that happens in almost 55% of the people nowadays.*I wish when i was going through those times, i had someone like HTYto put me back on my feet. *

AS FOR THE CHEMISTRY I DON'T F@@KING UNDERSTEAND WHAT YOU ALL WANT.
They have such amazing chemistry together that they make your heart flutter. I don't know there are a lot of stupid dramas, not only BL that have no chemistry at all and you all leaving positive comments for no reason. As for the kiss i loved it even tho it wasn't a 'Real Kiss' like the ones y'all want as in Kissable lips or idk, BUT IT WAS FUCKING NICE, the mood before the kiss and atmosphere and the way everything led there. Not to mention the last episode that the setting was so friggin awsome and cute. All three of them did a wonderful job portraying the character given. I couldn't ask for more

And i really don't understand those saying oh there wasn't love triangle here or idk things like that. The point of this series is HEALING. WITH THE HELP OF SOMEONE WHO TRULY CHERISHES YOU, YOU CAN MOVE FROM THAT TOXIC RELATIONSHIP AND MAKE YOURSELF A BETTER YOU AND ALSO GIVE THE OTHER PERSON PEACE OF MIND.
The ending was also clear EVERYONE MOVED ON FROM THE TOXICITY AND MADE PEACE DOING WHAT MADE THEM HAPPY.

AGH, I'm so frustrated with all the negativity in the comments. I feel really bad for the actors who made such an amazing job not getting the love they deserve. I wish i could just delete them all.

?‍?
My first and last time I left a review, and also, THIS WAS MY LAST TIME GOING NEAR THE COMMENTS .

I HOPE MY OPPAS WILL DO MORE AMAZING THINGS IN THE FUTURE, WITH MORE LOVE AND PASSION!

прекрасно сыгранная история

Да, это та самая Корея с ее невероятной подачей Чувств, эмоций и жизни. Это именно то, что Корея делает исключительно лучше всех. Забываешь о жанре, а особенно о теме и смотришь момент передачи чувств, что чувствуешь каждый ритм пульса, сердца, дыхание, тепло и нежность рук... Сколько раз я пересмотрела заключительную серию, а особенно ее начало - я не знаю. Невероятная подача всех характеров героев и каждый отдельный персонаж - это как зеркало каждого из нас. Лео. Играл прекрасного абьюза, которого до последней серии ненавидишь и просишь об одном: остановись. тебе уже миллион раз сказали, что ты одержим. Больная любовь - это не любовь. (Игра Лео напомнила и абьюза из жизни, и свою созависимость. Спасибо. Прочувствовала все.) Ну про Карама тут без слов. Ост в его исполнении и вообще музыка, как всегда отличное комбо в сюжете Кореи. Не фон, а именно слияние всего вместе. Чон У - солнышко данной дорамы. Он мне очень сильно напоминает Им Сон Гюна. которого тоже очень люблю. Чон У играл потрясающе для дебюта. Этот солнечный лучик, который делился и дарил улыбку все время.
Химия, взаимодействие отличные, актерский состав сильный и идеально предает эмоции, сюжет продуман и интересен. Рекомендую однозначно.

Happy Ending Romance... but where was the romance?

I honestly don't know where to start. The (very slightly) above average rating is mostly due to the acting and general K-drama feel of the show. That being said...

1. None of the characters had any chemistry whatsoever. I didn't believe that Jungwoo had feelings for either of them but at least he and Taeyoung actually had kiss scenes (if you could even call them that, it was more like they were kissing a wall)
2. The storyline had potential, but was ruined by the omittance of major plot points
3. There was really no need for there to be a different conflict every episode. It was so hard to follow

Personally, this would have been better as a bromance/friendship drama. The 'romance' didn't necessarily take away from it, but it also didn't add anything. At least it did have a happy ending and, of course, stellar OSTs (thanks to Leo and Karam)

Dúvidas demais pra uma série só

Pra mim esse drama foi problemático, pelo "excesso de falta" de explicações para coisas nas quais não vejo sentido algum, talvez por não ser ema expert no mundo dos bastidores literários, mas vamos lá.
Primeiro, eu gostei da série, que isso fique claro! Gostei da atuação, gostei do casal, achei que ele tinham química - e olhe que quando vi o escritor Cha com cara de paisagem o tempo todo eu duvidei disso-, amei a ost, a filmografia, os detalhes técnicos como continuidade , sonoplastia, filmografia, todos estavam muito bem feitos. A série (padrão coreano) é curta em quantidade e tamanho de eps, então eu acho que o drama foi bem aproveitado no sentido de não focar em histórias secundárias que tomariam o tempo de tela dos protagonistas, mas aí temos um problema: Kim Jung Hyun. Ele também é um protagonista, mas toda a sua história fica apenas na superfície, tudo é muito obscuro e a história deles deixa muitas lacunas.
O plot é inovador, ok, mas vamos para as problemáticas:
Logo no início, somos apresentados a Han Tae Young, um jovem que trabalha em uma editora e recebe a missão de descartar o brilhante escritor Cha Jung Woo, pois ele cometeu um erro grave de entrar em um embate contra um homem poderoso. Quem é esse homem poderoso que nunca aparece, só é citado? Pq diabos esse homem teria tanto poder a ponto de impedir todas as editoras de um país a trabalharem com um escritor? E pq todas as editoras cederam a ele, ninguém tem ética nem moral nessa história? Na lógica deles, como iriam impedir as pessoas de lerem, se até mesmo publicado on line as pessoas leriam? Bem, não faz sentido pra mim...
Outro ponto, é a relação de ChaJung Woo e Kim Jung Hyun. É muito pouca a informação... no começo, quando Cha se sentiu abandonado, mostra eles se beijando e Kim Jung Hyun jurando amor e cuidado, mas não temos informações sobre passado e presente sobre esse relacionamento, eles já mantinham um relacionamento amoroso? aquele beijo foi apenas fruto da emoção do momento e do sentimento que ambos, ou apenas um sentia e colocou pra fora naquele instante? A história mostra um salto temporal, mas após esse salto, não foca claro a dinâmica da relação entre eles. São amantes? São apenas amigos que tem um acordo, mesmo com Kim Jung Hyun parecendo ser apaixonado (pq o escritor Cha nunca demonstrou sentimentos de amor por ele)? Eram realmente amantes mas romperam em algum momento que não foi mostrado? tudo muito obscuro...
Que relação existiu no passado entre a editora freelancer e Kim Jung Hyun? eles falam sobre isso no presente, mas nada é mostrado no passado...o mesmo acontece com o tal professor...
Enfim, lacunas demais, que poderiam ser resolvidas apenas dando explicações simples, sem adentrar nos assuntos, e deixariam a história bem mais lógica. Enfim, gostei da série, mas não posso negar os erros. Com certeza recomendo, e talvez até assista de novo, mas acho que o roteiro deveria ter sido muito aperfeiçoado antes da série ir ao ar.

Ain’t that happy and ain’t romantic at all

I get the way that they’re trying to show us some artistic vibes through literature, but obviously, they failed to give us a better execution of the concept. This is too average to become a hit and I don’t follow the angst as it was messy from the very beginning.

Kim Jung Hyun is an annoying character who has an annoying attitude. Han Tae Young’s positive vibes somehow lighten up the mood but still not enough to save the entire show. The conflict presented in the story was not properly concluded in good shape. They just became co-workers in one company, sunset viewing on the rooftop while holding mugs. Ain’t a happy ending at all.

Yet, despite the huge amount of flaws and criticism, the show itself is not as bad and just plainly an average one. I don’t have any high hopes since the start but I’m hoping for at least having a nice conclusion towards the life of the main characters and not just by simply having them romanticize the present.

If you love somebody, set them free

This drama is about what kind of love and life do you want? Which is kind of a deep theme for the lenght of this drama. It seems they bit off s bit more than they could chew, but they try there hardest to make due with nwhat they have and in thet resoect, they did quite well.

The main characters are a love triangle, one current relationship and one (possible) future romance. The current boyfriend is a protective and somewhat cold man, who schemes and plots to keep the status quo, under the pretence of protecting his lover. He never asks him though as if he thinks his boyfriend is a child or stupid. Only at the last second does he come to realize he should be helping instesd of controlling. The new love is 100% support and positivity.. This boy adores him so much he cant stop staring. He builds him up and makes him face the world without force, but while completely having his back.

Other characters play their part around those three, and they are all complex characters, that do not get the screentime they deserve at all. I needed some more back story and more explanation. What exactly happened that waqs so bad that got this writer completely cancelled? How did that book get printed from first just being on a laptop and why is writer Cha ok with that? Who lives where? Whats going on? I could have done with 4 more episodes and make it a nice 12 eps one. But this is a SKBL, and that just hardly ever happens. Too bad. So sad.

So REALISTIC and beautiful

I have not written a review in a long time because there wasn't really a series i desperately, I mean so desparately want to tell to people but here i got one. Happy ending romance. This is the most realistic (along with some other but you understand what I mean) series i have ever watched. It was not at all lovey-dovey, all enthusiasm, happy characters,nope. It had all the seriousness when it comes to working in industry though it be a literature industry. There were so many factors and sides were shown of Industry ; good and bad. So many sides of people were shown. So many sides of self was shown. The acting was all fine n good, not at all overly done. There were many characters and all did there roles profoundly, whether it be a small role or bad role. It had happy and sweet scenes which does not seemed forced. All in place.so good it was. So real it was . Well portrayed. I loved all the characters. Ahhhh this was so good. A new try and good try of Korean BLS.

I mean...

Not this mofos doing a manage de troi right by the fucking end!

? SPOILER ALERT, the series does live by its name

I... liked it, I didn't love it, it was messy at first but I liked it by the time I finally finished it. I think you will too if you can by past the holes in it

? Ha Jong Woo's lips (Han Tae Young), are far too appealing to skip them my friends.

✨ Jung Ji Yeon (Yeong Seon), is so enticing, I loved her character, I couldn't stop watching her!

? I say YES to the soundtrack, those songs do have a replay value but the series on the other hand, not that much.

I'll give it a 6.5 just because of those damned lips!

Cheer, A!

A complex, incisive story well worth watching

I absolutely adore this drama, it's one of my new favourites for sure.
I understand the general frustration of people who were expecting a more conventional romance drama (the misleading summary does not help here), but let me assure you if you know what you're getting into when you start watching, you'll find a lot to value and love about the show just as it is.
The acting and writing are absolutely incredible, the dialogues flow naturally and all the characters just feel deeply real, hell I even think the editing is very well done and effectively underscores a lot of impactful emotional moments.
The show doesn't really coddle its viewers with spelling things out for them, but I found the plot very easy to follow and the character motivations understandable and often relatable.
Rather than introducing a main villain the characters have to go up against, the show explores concepts of freedom, self-determination, art, and love from various different angles with the publishing industry and its shady politics serving as the backdrop.
While romance may not be the major focus of the story, love is very much an important theme - what does loving someone mean? What is the difference between love and possession, where does selfless love end and selfish love begin? Is love always enough or can relationships built on it still become twisted and harmful? These are all questions the show poses and expertly analyses.
Another important theme, if not the main theme, of the story is fear and how to overcome it. There is great importance placed on the idea that failure should not mean giving up, that there is value to be found even in defeat, and that stepping outside of your comfort zone and taking risks is vital. Failure happens, that's just how life goes, but failing at something doesn't have to mean the end of happiness, hell it doesn't even have to mean really losing anything at all. Things happen, both good and bad, and happiness and joy are found in the simple willingness to try.
This is an incredible message and it is woven into the series so seamlessly, communicated so succinctly that I was left a little in awe.
So no, this may not be a traditional romance, but it is, at its core, a love story. Love of people, love of art, love of the self, and love of life; universal themes, in other words, that everyone can relate to in one way or another.
Give this show a shot, I really believe there's something here for everyone to enjoy.
