New Love Playlist (2022)

It had the chance to be something better

Playlist resets its well known franquise "Love Playlist" with new cast, new songs, surprises but basic main story.

Gonna start with what I like, the supporting characters had a good development and althought Tae Yong didn't have his love story with his friend, and it's okay cause we saw they are friends and both were respecftul with their feelings. 2022 was the year of BL, multiple producers doing mini dramas and Playlist had saw the potential and made it with a realistic way.

But now what I dislike, once again, the same old story.... We both like each other but you know, I don't wanna risk our friendship so let's keep being just friends... of course, I'll date someone that I find attractive while you cry in your room and get over of your feelings... but don't date other guys cause I'll realize I have feelings for you and will get jealous, oh and now that I got ride of the other girl, I want you back cause you were about to be happy with someone else---- That's the story here. I can't believe that after 12 episodes of FL character development at the end she ends up with that Do Yoon boy, I'm dissapointed but not surprised, it's the same old story.

Waste of time

Not Good Enough

Korean Web Drama " New Love Playlist " is a drama of the Love Playlist series. This time, it takes up the love and friendship of college students during the Covid-19 era.

And even though the concept is interesting, and the mood of the drama just right, youthful and light, as it was in the previous dramas of the series, the story wasn't as strong. It was predictable and cheesy and the drama got too cringey by trying to be hip and up to date with the social media trends. Also, the romance didn't work due to the decisions of the characters. Everything would have been solved if the characters were honest with their feelings. Alas, there was too much unnecessary drama for no reason.

On the other hand, the friendship was enjoyable to watch and the college friends had good chemistry with them. Unfortunately, the side characters' stories were left half baked. The constant getting drunk of the female lead got annoying after a while as well.

So, overall, three out of ten.
