My Only Love Song (2017)

Great historical period drama

I love historic period dramas, and I was pleasantly surprised with this drama - and time travelling was amazing add to it. Sure, the plot has its issues and plot holes, but once you ignore them, you can really enjoy this drama. I also really loved that the main woman Soo Jung wasn't a shy or clumsy girl, but a witty, confident and even rude! We don't really see that in many dramas, and it was a positive thing to see that made me wanna watch more.
The characters are well written and fun, and even the annoying ones (I'm looking at you Go Il Yong) I found really likeable and grow fond of. And all the couples are so shipable and have great chemistry together, espeically Soo Jung and On Dal. Also the kisses between them were actually steamy and realistic than most Kdramas, another plus!
There were some plot holes, as I mentioned, but mostly I wish we knew more of Boong Boong (also one of my favorite characters, the car lol) - has it always been a time travelling car? Where did it get its powers, and why did it choose Soo Jung to travel her back in time, and travel her around? But well. I guess they wanted to leave that to a mystery.

Perfect for GONGLEE couple fans

If youre looking for a short series, this is perfect for you.
Cinematography: well, it's pretty good and simple. The color is soothing to the eyes. The editing is quite awesome as well!
Cast: The cast is perfect. Of course Jong Hyun and Seung Yeon make a perfect pair. Their acting is impressive. They can pull off romance, drama, and comedy. I was surprised to be honest.
Musical scoring: I am very satisfied with its OST.
The sound fx is 100! It brought color and humor to scenes that needed them. It hit the punch lines and it targeted the perfect scenes that needed those kinds of sound/music.
All songs are perfect and heartwarming.

**believe me, it beat some long dramas in terms of musical scoring and sound editing.**

This, I believe, was made actually for the gonglee couple since a lot of details about them are in this drama ?

This drama kept popping up on my "N" recommended list and after ignoring it many many times I finally decided to give it a try. And I was pleasantly surprised. It is a cute, fun, and sometimes quirky drama to watch. Even though some of the actors are not well known or well established yet, they did a really good job with the help of some veteran supporting actors. I was really impressed with Seungyeon whom I had only ever seen in one other drama. She was able to express a good range of emotions in this and made me look forward to other dramas from her. The writer and director also do a good job of keeping the drama fairly light hearted. Sure there are some plot holes but I was enjoying the show so much, especially towards the end, that I didn't really care about them. If you need a break from the more intense dramas, then this one is a good pallet cleanser.

I personally loved it at such short time it became my second favourite K-Drama as my first is Moon Lovers but I'm not here to discuss moon lovers,

I loved the acting and how the story line progressed well I found myself crying many times on this but then laughing. There are going to be characters you hate like in all Drama's You feel yourself understanding the protagonist more and more I also loved the way they brought people from the protagonists life into the past and made it seem like there life before like you know reincarnation and stuff.

I loved it even though it didn't make sense at the start very much it was a very interesting drama to watch cause they changed history in away *winks* not telling how tho cause that will ruin the story for those that haven't seen it yet.

Overall the characters the story everything was amazing the romance in this was also top notch I loved it! I'm pretty sure you will like it to and find yourself laughing at how the people act, Even if you don't particularly like historical drama's I'm pretty sure you will like this one! have fun watching <3

the acting in this was superb but the script was horrendous. this entire drama was filled with over the top cringeworthy humour and awful relationship development. i could barely get through an episode without gagging lol.

like everyone says, the main couple had great chemistry but that wasnt enough to get past their annoying relationship development. i actually liked them better before they got together.

and i’ll be honest while the acting was good, the only natural character in this drama was sam yong. everyone else seemed so awkward and out of place.

this story had potential but the story just wasnt executed well :/

if your in for a short RomCom series then try this.

the series is not that long so you can watch it within a day if your really interested on the series. well I really like how they manage to make this series very amusing on that part I will give 10/10 score, it will really makes you laugh but what I really don't like is how they made the action part of this series ( I mean how can a general goes for war with only few men and the acting scene was mediocre. ) they should have stick with the Romance and comedy hehehe. about the romance no question the acting is perfect and the chemistry between the leads is awesome! they really fight for their love in spite the odds and prevails in the end woah!!! nice!!

Not a dull moment. Very funny. Couldn't really take it seriously, everything was just so goofy. When I tried to take it seriously.......well i couldn't. I couldn't really feel for the characters or put myself in their shoes. You know a good drama if you can go alongside the characters and i couldn't. But hell comedy 10!!!.
Definitely lots of plot inconsistencies(What's up with the end?).
A lot of scene changes that could not really carry the audience along( I found myself crying for 3 seconds and then I started laughing as the scene changed)
Music always fitted the scene but not memorable.
You're good to go if you can overlook it and just watch it for fun!!

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.
