This drama is good, you should watch it ;)
This drama is about revenge and romance.Shin Bom and Choi Sihoon are dating, but their relationship is hidden. Shin Bom suspects that her boyfriend is cheating on her. With the help of Jung Maro, she finds out that she was correct. Her boyfriend is cheating on her with his ex-girlfriend named Yang Bora. She tried her best to get back her boyfriend by making him figure out who he likes more, but she always got disappointed. She decides to get revenge. Jung Maro helps Shim Bom to get revenge on Sihoon.
I think the story has a very good plot. I would rate the plot a 9.5/10 but I took a few points away because the music was louder than the dialogue. I couldn’t hear most things that were said by the actors and actresses because of the music.
The female lead has character development and becomes strong. She uses a very good strategy to get revenge and she is very straightforward. I like it best when the people communicate with each other to help. I think I agreed with every step she took to get revenge. The actors and actresses acted very well. You can feel the love-hate between the characters. I hope that Shin Bom would end up with Jung Maro. Hope you like the drama too :)

Would you what it
I loved this drama it kept me hooked….It was also spicy and sweet…..
It literally had me at the end of my seat
I recommend this drama it’s not that long so you can binge it
Firstly the male lead??? but he did portray being the bad guy pretty well though.
The female lead is beautiful but unfortunately she’s takes time to realize what kind of man she deserves.
The other male lead he is so sweet so caring (I can’t believe he is just 20) I just wish he had more balls to let out his feelings .
The other female lead I felt really bad for her at the end because she got played too, but she did annoy me for a bit.
So should you watch it ??
Yes ?

Predictable but it's so gooood!
One of the best web dramas I've ever watched. It has a simple plot and predictable storyline but it was still so interesting to watch. It's clever use of flashbacks instead of straightforward storytelling made the ending for the cheating boyfriend so satisfying. Such nuanced acting from the cast of 5 was also totally unexpected. You can understand a character's feeling in a particular moment just by a simple turn of the head, a surreptitious glance, a hard-eyed stare. Would definitely rewatch this again.Was this review helpful to you?
Good enough
Surprisingly, Korean Drama "Romanced" is pretty enjoyable and well constructed. It creates the right atmosphere and has interesting cinematography and camera work right from the start.First of all, the story has a predictable plot, however, it was well made and enjoyable. The leads had chemistry and they worked well together. Unfortunately, the ending was rushed and needed more time to be properly handled. Nevertheless, the drama had the right pace and the cinematography was interesting too. That gave an edge to the story and created a fresh atmosphere.
Finally, the performances were enjoyable by everyone in the cast.
So, overall, 7.5 out of 10.

Good drama, good romance, interesting plot
The plot of this drama was interesting and whilst being an almost typical revenge on cheater type plot it finds it’s own ways to be unique, with the acting elements and the romance between the leads. The chemistry between the leads is eminent even in non romantic scenes. I really enjoyed this drama as it is a simple yet mature romance that is easy to work through and has a plot that will hook you and make you want to watch more. The length was shorter than typical dramas but it is worth your while and is a really good watch. Would watch again.Was this review helpful to you?
As expected from a webdrama.
It isn't the worst thing ever, but it also isn't particularly enjoyable. The storyline was pretty good, but I feel like the execution and the screenwriting of it wasn't so good. There wasn't a single bit of comedy to relieve the tension,Firstly, I don't think any of the characters really had any substance to them. They all had the same bland personality, and I didn't feel like I could relate or sympathize with any of the characters. Usually visuals make up for the lack of acting but in this one, neither were present. The circumstances are not extremely unrealistic like other kdramas, but the way they reacted to the situation was out of the ordinary in neither a good or a bad way.
Overall, I do NOT recommend unless you are looking for a brainless quick binge.

Enjoyable Korean webdrama with good plot, acting & kissing scenes
Came across this web drama when I was exploring the 찐엔딩 Youtube channel. This series was fast-paced, enjoyable and with cast that have good chemistry and dynamics. I didn't realise that Kim Jae Won was Rowoon in King the Land (one of the 2 characters I liked from dreadful series) until I checked his list of credited work.What I liked:
1) The plot - There are many dramas about revenge on cheating boyfriend but Romanced has a refreshing take on it. I like that writers showcased different perspectives in the main 4 characters.
2) Female lead characterisation - I like that female lead Bom was upset and somewhat guilty instead of feeling rage when she found out because people react differently when confronted with unpleasant situation. I also liked when Bom realised that she's been gaslit by Sihoon and told him about it.
3) Romance - I'd say the kissing scenes were blazing hot. Making out behind a wall when your friends/course mates were just few metres away.
4) Antagonists - Kudos to writer for writing unlikeable antogonists. I like that there was a self-absorbed character who thought he could get away with hurting his girlfriends' feelings and there was another character who realised her mistake of being with a douchebag.
5) Acting - Good overall. Better than some Chinese minidramas.
What I disliked:
1) The ending - There were many flashbacks at the start of episode 8. Wish more scenes of Bom enjoying life post-breakup.

Short but sweet
This is an 8 episode 11 minutes each, well acted KDrama. Even though it was that short, it was long enough to get the story across without a bunch of wasted time. It was kind of straight and to the point. Normally with Dramas this short, it feels rushed and unfinished, but this one didn’t feel like that. I think the acting was good too. I am in between Dramas, and thought I’d give this a shot. I’m so glad I did!Was this review helpful to you?

Gaslighting and film making
Romances is an extraordinarily well written web drama with the unusual plot device: a film within a drama. the drama takes place at university film school, where the student are making a short film as an assignment. But that short film seems to be heavily based on real life: it tells the story of an actress making a short film who discovers her boyfriend has been gaslighting her into keeping their relationship secret while dating another woman at the same time. The actress decides to take revenge with the help of her film co star.The drama has very interesting structure because the line between the reality and fiction is completely blurred. We don't really know which parts of the story were from the film they made and which are from life. Or whether the film was written as the real life drama unfolded. Everything is unclear, though the outcome of the film the students made mirrors perfectly the real life!
The characters are cliché but the FL shows amazing growth: when she realizes that she had been lied to, she does not fold though she's tempted; but with the help of a friend decides to have her lying and cheating secret boyfriend admit his mistakes. He's a creep! A beautiful shell of an empty, lying person. Charming but a creep, The actor did an amazing job in portraying him like a human, a real person and not just a caricature!
The actors are all stellar and I hope to see more of them. The music boring and unremarkable and the sound editing all over the place (sometimes we could barely hear the actors because the background score was so loud!). Cinematography is just as bad, correct and nothing more.
All in all, this was an excellent mini drama and I can see myself rewatching it in order to find other minute details differentiating between fact and fiction.

don't watch it.
total shit don't waste your time .The story has no center; the duck is not likable, and the costly, overwrought, laser-filled special effects that conclude the series are less impressive than a sparkler on a birthday cake.I’ve had mosquito bites that were more passionate than this undead, unrequited, and altogether unfun pseudo-romantic riff on ‘Romeo and Juliet.
I’ll admit, I’ve been dreading the thought of trying to at all explain the plot of this movie — even in broad, simple terms. I honestly had anxiety dreams last night about this moment. It’s like staring at a projected kaleidoscope for two and a half hours and then trying to tell someone about the plot.

Vale a pena assistir
Gostei, ele tem romance e uma pitada de vingança.Shin Bom e Choi Si Hoon estão namorando mas em segredo, ele diz a ela que é melhor assim já que eles estão em um clube de atuação e ela precisa contracenar com outro cara (o auge do motivo mais fútil da vida) e que ela pode ficar mal falada (oiii???)
Shin Bom começa a desconfiar que tem algo a mais entre seu namorado e uma das integrantes do clube.
Ela então resolve que vai fazer o Si Hoon ter certeza que ama mais ela (sério esse motivo eu revirei os olhos), mas enfim...ela então pede ajuda de seu colega Jung Maro pra causar ciúmes no boy, mas tudo vai mudando de rumo quando ela comprova algumas coisas e também percebe como é ser valorizada de verdade.
Gente, nunca peguei tanto ranço de um cara como peguei do Si Hoon, o menino era um embuste deslavado, porque de bonzinho e fofo ele só tinha a cara mesmo.
Eu gostei da forma com protagonista levou a vingança ?.
"Romanced" teve um bom enredo que foi bem desenvolvido em seus 8 episódios, uma atuação boa, ou seja, um mini drama que vale a pena ser assistido
