Durian's Affair (2023)

Great Show

It gets you hooked from the first episode. Great acting skills. Don't judge it with last episodes because it's common chronical Korean Series' last Episode Dilemma. You just stay like 'What the Heck?!'
Excellent Drama and I don't know why there are so many comments saying that the ending was bad, confusing, without explanations. To the wise, half a word is enough. Durian went back to the past with the man she loved and there in Joseon, we could see that she ran away from her mother-in-law taking her love to the person who gave her husband's clothes. The guy who was her husband in Joseon and was sick and died, in the present time he fulfilled his karma of marrying a woman who has another man's child.
The girl Seojeo married Eon of the present time and became a famous actress, the years have passed and show her winning big awards, having already made a film and with Eon's son, who is watching his wife receive an award on the TV in the car and cries thrilled. The son is his because he has the surname Dan. And the matriarch who killed the servant in the past lost her favorite son, who took care of the business for her and lost her young husband because they both disappeared in the lake, going back to the past, that's what happened to understand and she, the matriarch, went crazy after losing her 2 loves and the youngest son cries looking at his crazy mother, a wonderful, impactful ending. I loved it, perfect drama

Inguardabile

Non capisco come sia possibile che un drama così privo di alcun senso logico sia stato prodotto e girato senza che nessuno abba mai detto: ma cosa stiamo facendo qui?
No, veramente, non ha nè capo nè coda, sembra non sapessero cosa volevano fare o raccontare....è semplicemente senza senso. Ci sarebbe voluto poco per raccontare una storia di viaggio nel tempo, anche semplice ma guardabile, lo hanno fatto tanti drama dopotutto, ma qui no, qui si iniziano trame secondarie che poi non finiscono da nessuna parte dopo essere nate dal nulla (o da una mente disturbata, scegliete voi) e poi, dulcis in fundo, forse verso la fine qulacuno si è reso finalmente conto dello schifo che stavano facendo e ha detto: senti per risparmiare non facciamo un finale, infila due scene brevi a caso e non spierghiamo niente (tanto sarebnbe impossibile spiegare tutto il casino cheabbiamo fatto) nè diamo chiusura a nulla, tanto ormia è andata come è andata. E così hanno fatto. Forse è il drama peggiore che abbia mai visto

Joseonless Behaviour

I don't how I feel about the on-screen text. There's distinct level of absurdity and abnormality that's easily recognizable from a certain Korean writer, that is Im Sung Han. From writing the characters, constructing the narrative and story boarding, all felt quite familiar to her other shows, Apgujeong Midnight Sun (2014) & Miss Mermaid (2002) in particular. However, this drama is unfortunately one of her unsuccessful ones. I didn't like the direction she took with the drama. The women from Joseon were an interjection into the Dan's family, they were more like a support characters observing the surrounding and getting accustomed to living. The entire story was stagnant for 15 episodes after their initial introduction and only the last episode brought some change but it was too late. The story went through the bare minimum of characters exploration and made the Joseon women existence more useless. If anything, it reminded me of the bizarre storylines transitions and conclusion of Miss Mermaid (2002), really close when drawing parallels. On a second thought, although I'm a fan of the writer but I don't quite agree with how she writes the last few episodes of her projects.

I liked the serie , but the end seems rushed
We see two versions on how they got to the future ,i think we needed one more episode for the end to make more sense (Chin Gam goes back with her , but the sequence scene is of a point more then 20 years back from the first jump, so.... 2 of them ? Beacuse Dol Seo was still alive them ... en de director ?
From the experience of the jump to the future, it was a full jump, body and mind , for the personages is a happier end , they going back way back and running away , it it doesnt make sense (going back only the mind is transported and the bodies vanishes? )
Is good , yes... is funny to see them adapting but is a pity that the end was so abrupt

Well they got me...

From the very first episode I hated the choppiness of the scenes until the third episode when it occurred to me maybe this was really intentional. Maybe we were watching scenes from more than one season. I mean there was just a TV series where you could watch from beginning to end or from end to beginning depending on whose story you wanted to watch. So why not? I have to say despite the choppy scenes I couldn't stop watching. I love time travel stories. Now that messed up ending would only make sense if there was another season or maybe two. If not, then it will go in my rabbit hole of tv series that haunt me every now and again with 'what the heck did I watch?' But here's hoping the ride ain't over yet.

Recommend drama anti mainstream story drama atmosphere however best makjang with relax situation

You can try to watch 1/2 episode if u enjoyed u can stay if not u can walk away but this drama makjang will not make u into high blood pressure like penthouse this drama makjang u can enjoyed in every situation u want to be like.. still chill situation character the dialogue too made up well like they’ll give u more make sense dialogue plot not like graceful famil(sorry??) however
‘This is fun drama makjang but need more episodes or next season to explain the ending of the main lead woman’
And Next My review for team production this drama and it contains the ending of this drama
SPOILER ALERT
Don’t know is there season 2 or not but i just patient cause the ending wasn’t satisfied for me ? and i will make conclusion of this drama that “Karma is real” it’s happen in future, that’s theme of this drama lol,

how waste it is...
the story was made so good but how could they make ending like no climax when u just got a hot night fantastic enjoyed the drama and the ending u got nothing for the main lead cast called durian... where she is??
Atleast give audiences a few minutes to explain what happen to durian? Whichas as main cast lead ! This might be advice to team production of this drama to make season 2 for the more clearer of this drama called durian affairs!
