Love for Love's Sake (2024)

L'incompréhension (j'ai (définitivement) rien compris)

Incompréhension. C'est le mot le plus approprié pour résumer ma pensée de Love for Love's Sake. Malgré sa collection d'éloges sur MDL, il reste un mystère que j'ai essayé de percer. Sans succès !

Le concept est original et ludique. C'est amusant de voir la jauge d'affection de Yeon Woon monter ou baisser en fonction des efforts de Myung Ha. Allait-il réussir à le rendre heureux ? Cependant, les choses se sont mélangées en cours de route sans que je ne sois capable de continuer d'y voir clair.

Pourquoi Yeo Woon devient une toute autre personne d'une scène à l'autre ? Á quel moment est-il devenu si souriant et amoureux ? D'ailleurs, d'où vient cette confession qui est arrivée entre le plat et le fromage ? Est-ce que Yeo Woon trouvait un refuge en Myung Ha ? Une façon de fuir son quotidien ? Certes, la quête principale est de rendre Yeo Woon heureux. D'une certaine façon, Myung Ha y est parvenu, mais pourquoi cela me donne l'impression d'être inachevé ?

L'intrigue prend ensuite une nouvelle tournure. Le système rencontre des bugs, créant ainsi un déséquilibre chez Myung Ha. Le rythme s'accélère, tandis que le drame tente de tout traiter, mais semble peiner à faire fonctionner l'ensemble. Les questions se bousculent afin de trouver les causes des bugs. Un rééquilibre des choses ? Le but était d'apprendre à Myung Ha le vrai sens de l'amour ? Ou Myung Ha devait-il apprendre à aimer et à s'aimer ? Si au départ, l'intrigue est claire, par la suite, elle m'a perdu.

Bref, Love for Love’s Sake n’est pas mauvais dans son fond. C’est juste un de ces dramas qui resteront un mystère pour moi malgré sa jolie photographie et son casting sympathique.

Well i loved it for loves sake!

Ill be honest for a minute. I dont understand why they titled it 'Love for Love's Sake' (keeping the webtoon title Love Supremacy Zone would have been more appropriate). My initial reaction with the first few minutes of the series wasnt good because I have just completed reading the manga Solo Leveling and the world immersion in this drama, i thought, was a cheap knockoff of that series.

HOWEVER, what was initially my cautious attitude towards it quickly changed into adoration. How can i not?! First, they have assembled a pretty amazing and good looking cast- from the overflowing charm of Myung Ha to the irresistable puppy cuteness of YeoWoon. I cant also help but adore the badboy look of Sang Woon even in his limited screen time. I would also love to have seen more of Kyung Hoon and his supposed partner.

Second, i am thankful that not only did they do the episodes longer than normal KBLs, they also released all of it in just a span of 2 weeks (actually just about 9 days). That made the wait, longing and anticipation so much easier so i really thank the creators for that.

Third, and its also amazing, is the fact that although it was camouflaging as a high school fluff, it was actually a character study of someone who is extremely depressed in life - his hopelessness and aimless existance. Its MyungHa's cry for help and desire to change his life. It wasnt really about him making Yeo Woon happy, it is about him realizing what it takes to live his own happy life. When he saved Yeo Woon he was actually saving himself. It wasnt just about BL or homophobia, it was more about coming out of depression and self love.

After watching this I actually have so much more to ask and these questions are left unanswered. For example, my very first question is, how can a fine looking young man like YeoWoon suffered from depression and poverty when he already has a fan club and brands have been asking him to do jobs? I am also asking, was any of the characters besides Kyung Hoon really gay, cause they somehow glossed over the trope "im not gay but i like you because its you" (they did that even in the webtoon)?

But the biggest question remains whether Myung Ha was really given a second life and ended up coming back in the game or did the gameworld merged with his reality and erased his old life? Did he become younger and assume the 19year old Myung Ha's life? Was any of it even real or was it just a manifestation of heaven(or hell) after he took his own life?

Either way and questions aside, it was a satisfactory ending to the series cause who doesnt want a happy ending?

Already rewatching. I just hoped they showed more of YeoWoon running cause the guy looks so fine in those running outfit. Overall giving it a 9.5, even if the last episode felt rushed i would still wholeheartedly reccommend this show and i am REALLY REALLY glad to have stumbled upon it.

And to those feeling the signs of depression, you just have to be strong and know that it will get better.

PS. You guys have no idea how big a TXT fan i am, and throughout the series i cant help but i kept imagining Soobin in Cha Joo Wan's role. :)
