What a little happy gem!

I’ve been longing for. Decent romcom for well, a long time! The last 12 months saw a number of good melodramas but not a single good romcom! Let’s face it, we need a room com more than anything when the world is going mad!

The story is light, yet gripping and with the right balance and speed - nothing was overworked and too stretched. They didn’t take the married couple or the office couple, nor the divorced couple too far and too cheesy.

The cast is so good and chemistry between the actors was very good for me offering the right punch of goofy and more serious elements. I’m really impressed by the male lead simply because I know the female lead from Gobling and other dramas and she is really good , but he is new on me as a strong lead. Watch your space, I recon he can deliver much more complex roles!
My only complain would be the role of the office admin - it was a bit too cliche and the character came across too childish to be believable for me.

The first film in a long time which will happily rewatch. More like this one, please!

sweet and calming but not flawless

I loved this drama overall. I loved how they showed different types of love, I loved some of the lessons they teach and the chemistry kept me giggling like a good kdrama comedy romance should do. Amazing direction of photography, music and everything was great. There were a few choice of plot I did not enjoy and even a few problematic sentences and statements which did not made me enjoy this 100%. I was left a bid dissatisfied at the end but I would re-watch just for the main couple amazing chemistry

EXTRAORDINARIO!

Me encantó esta serie!! realmente es muy bonita y me hizo llorar. retrata lo que es verdaderamente una relación y lo que son todas las relaciones. Me emocioné mucho porque incluso me sentí identificada con el personaje “Bora”. Los actores son increíblemente muy buenos con la actuación!!! es un Dorama que definitivamente volvería a ver!!! Adicional a ello, la musicalización del dorama también es muy bueno! Esta serie realmente me gustó muchísimo y es una de mis favoritas del 2023 definitivamente

Gifted Acting, Finely Crafted Story, Best of 2023

I write my review below (after the “——“) and then decided I needed to add a bit:

I am truly mystified by some of the reviews of this show. I never want to say anything negative about people on the internet, but I just don’t get it. The negativity is amazing. Pointing out how the writers never spoke to women before, that it made all women look stupid??? Both the men and women were flawed - as are real people. Yeah, the characters could be annoying and frustrating, but have we not encountered these types of people in our lives? Have we not made dumb decisions that we look back on and can’t believe we did that? I sure have. This drama is no worse in that regard than countless other KDramas and CDramas which did not garner such reviews. This series just did a better job than almost off of the others with such flawed characters. :-(

————

When I read that this series was coming, I was truly excited. Touch Your Heart is my all time favorite KDrama. While everything about that show was great, it was Yoo In-Na's acting - her interpretation of her role - that was genius and made the show truly special. Could she pull it off again?

And I was not disappointed! Once again, she was the true driving force behind a series and elevated it to be as good as it possibly could be. She delivered a master class in acting, IMHO. Her ability to communicate emotions. The uniqueness of her expressions and the inflections of her voice... Amazing. Thanks to the those who cast her as Deborah!

I fee a bit like a broken record, because Kdrama acting is often so good, but I just have to say it. Everyone cast in this series was phenomenal.

Yoon In Na... Well, I've said it. She makes this story shine and we feel for her throughout the arc of the story.

Yoon Hun-Min as the male lead was so good. Dang, watching his character was so frustrating! So obviously he nailed the role and made it believable no matter how unbelievable it could have been.

Hwang Chan-Sung's role as the ex. I hated his guts! His acting sparked the feelings we were meant to feel.

Park So-Jin was sooo good in Sh**ting Stars.** And she was fantastic here. Her portrayal of a women in a listless marriage truly had our sympathy. She is just so darn good the I hope to see here as a lead in series to come. I’ll watch anything that features Ms. Park.

Let's hope we see so much more of Kim Ye-Ji. She is so cute and really did well in what I think is a difficult role - both strong and unsure of herself at the same time.

The story: Once again the Koreans' writing craft is so amazing. This was a tightly woven tapestry of multiple couple's evolving relationships. There was not a dull minute for my wife or I and we could not wait for each new episode. As the story was coming to an end I could not believe we had seen 13 episodes already and we were almost done. No feeling of, "This is starting to drag and I need to fast forward" in this series! I know we won't get it, but Season 2 please!

My one complaint is that at key points, the Male Lead did not communicate and it was just hard to believe. I am sure there are people who are, in a sense, broken like that. But he was given so many chances... Yeah, I know it can happen, I was pretty much that screwed up when I was young. But watching it drove me nuts! Then again, the story had me locked in so the writers obviously know what they are doing. :-)

If you want to read a good review of the story itself, check out ameerahcarol's review. So good it reads like a professional review.

Watch it!

A series of it's own kind

Bora Deborah has been a great watch throughout...every episode was better then the prior episode. It's not a drama with some extremely heavy story line or complex characters rather it deal with complex emotions of our life. Drama doesn't has any out of tge blue story line..it was something which happen around us. As if we are the characters and a phase of our life has been shown...drama represented every stage of love..falling in love, struggling together, slowly opening to each other , having deep talks with only that special someone and at the end longing for a happy ending.
Main lead two pole apart personalities..their childhood was a very minor detail but it helped us to understand their characters and why they are like this ! Both of them don't want to end up like their parents.
Acc to me every actor did a great job. Yoo inna ruled the show ..her every expression was on point , she practically lived the character! Yoon hyun min gave his all in second half of the show and really delivered beautiful acting and he is also the one to br most benefited by this drama (his inland image and internationalfan base both have improved). Inshort it was a great casting choice! Although i would have loved to see joo sang wook and his ex wife story more.
And bomi was way too lucky..she didn't deserve anything which she has got in life ...? only
character i seriously hated throughout the series.

Overall i liked the series.

Bo Ra! Deborah/True to Love (2023) – I think I expected too much in this drama but I still like it overall. The drama isn’t something new, from enemies to lovers trope romance comedy which was the staple in Korean dramas before. Maybe because the ending felt a bit rushed, my interest was lost in the later episodes. The in between episodes were fun and easy to watch though. Yoo In-na is perfect as Bo-Ra for me, she nailed the character perfectly. The ending wraps the drama nicely that makes it true to its title.

Overcome Romance

Watching this drama..........no no no ... rather than watching I say tolerating this drama . Worst rom-com drama I've seen till now.
What I dislike: I say over acting of actresses. The male lead also doing the worst acting.
I want to ask drama where is comedy ??? I seriously didn't find any...
I also want to ask where the story is. If you saw us in a drama called Story then I am done with that. The whole thing doesn't make any sense.
Don't waste your time on this drama.
That's my opinion If you agree pls like it.
Thanks.

Deborah segue fiel ao amor

Deborah segue fiel ao amor, mesmo após o fim sempre há um recomeço.
" O término é como um resfriado; vai passar logo" - é com essa leveza que descobrimos a empatia pós término e pré recomeço.
É refrescante ver o desenvolvimento da história, e principalmente da personagem que passa por um término difícil que transcende a vida pessoal da protagonista afetando também sua carreira de sucesso construída como "coach de relacionamentos" - daí a dualidade emocional da Bo-ra coach de relacionamentos com problemas no amor (e a coitada sofre).
É interessante a forma como o drama mostra as fases do término e o recomeço, mostra como as vezes pode ser tão difícil superar a dor e recomeçar novamente; os personagens são únicos e a partir disso temos cenas disertíssimas entre os casais cada qual com sua dinâmica amorosa, além é claro dos momentos que nos levam a refletir sobre como nos colocamos e colocamos o outro dentro de um relacionamento, sobre como seguir a vida após o fim de uma relação, sobre como recomeçar quando tudo parece errado ... Cada episodio é uma surpresa agradável, e o visual dos personagens é muito bem elaborado com diversos outifts mara. A ost não ficou muito na minha cabeça, não senti tanto foco nisso, além da forma como alguns personagens foram retratados na história para mim não foi tão satisfatória. Fora isso os eps fluiram muito bem (assim como o desenvolvimento dos casais), e foi uma delicia assistir ao drama, fora o fato de que o final deixa nosso coração quentinho - "Era nosso primeiro dia de inverno, tão quente quanto o verão".

L'ULTIMO BICCHIERE E ME NE ANDRÒ

Diciamolo: se togliamo l'alcool a questi romantic drama resta ben poco della trama perché, se non si ubriacano, difficilmente accade qualcosa. Detto ció, però, è stata una visione adorabile.
Tolta qualche volgarità, il racconto scorre senza intoppi con tanti episodi esileranti. Il principio base mi ha ricordato un libro letto decenni fa di Gary Chapman, "i 5 linguaggi dell'amore", in cui sostanzialmente si afferma che ognuno di noi ha un modo diverso di esprimere l'amore e occorre conoscerli per poter riuscire a portare avanti una relazione. Lo dice chiaramente verso la fine della serie anche FL parlando con una amica di ML: "E se fosse questo il suo modo di amare?".
Le coppie in scena sono 4:
➡️ i protagonisti, che meglio di tutti esprimono questo concetto: la donna che ha bisogno di essee rassicurata anche a parole e l'uomo che fatica a dire "ti amo" ma te lo dimostra in mille cose "da nulla". In questo senso ML è meraviglioso! Di una grandissima dolcezza dietro un'apparenza rigida. Anche se esteticamente non mi piacciono granché, ho trovato la loro recitazione fantastica: le scene della disperazione di FL quando scopre il tradimento...beh...molto brava.
➡️ la tenerissima giovane coppia, Me ne sono innamorara persino io! ?
➡️ la coppia di amici sposati: adoro come si corteggiano con ironia per quasi tutta la serie! Poi, verso la fine, improvvisamente scoppia un piccolo dramma che, sinceramente, mi sembra poco in linea con la relazione precedente ma...vabbè.
➡️ il capo divorziato +quantenne, con la giovane stagista di vent'anni più giovane. Lei tenera e solare, lui involtariamente comico e che cerca di proteggere se stesso e lei da quei sentimenti così poco "ortodossi".
Insomma, dopo settimane che non riuscivo a trovare un drama convincente e che non finisse nel dimenticatoio alla seconda o terza puntata, mi ci voleva proprio.
Da vedere per stare un po' in serenità.

Desternillante y encantadora

Me ha encantado, una historia sobre el amor, sus dificultades y sus sinsabores y sus segundas oportunidades, contada en clave de comedia romántica. Fantástica química entre la pareja principal, y maravillosos secundarios que te atrapan también con sus historias. Yoo In-na está fabulosa como siempre y ofrece un recital interpretativo con momentos que te atrapan el corazón, Yoon Hyun-min está perfecto como editor quisquilloso y aparentemente de carácter distante y frio. Pasa bien pocas veces que las parejas secundarias (aquí hay varias) te atrapen igual que la primera pero en esta serie me han encantado todas. La he encontrado original en su apuesta por mostrar una mujer moderna, que habla sin tapujos de temas muchas veces tabús en otras series coreanas,. Los diálogos ingeniosos, el ritmo rápido que hace que sus 14 capítulos se pasen en un santiamén. La recomiendo para pasar un buen rato!!!!!

Fiéis ao amor

"ainda assim, não vamos nos arrepender disso. "Como vivemos, mesmo sabendo que vamos morrer um dia, e como compramos flores mesmo sabendo que vão murchar, como ficamos tristes aos dizer adeus, sabendo que vamos nos ver novamente amanhã, como fazemos promessas que não podemos cumprir as vezes, como compramos coisas inúteis, somos verdadeiros ao amar em todos os momentos possíveis do fundo do nosso coração. Somos fiéis ao amor."

Eu tô sensível e chorei não sei porque nesse final. Eu coloquei expectativas bem altas antes de assistir BoRa e no começo foi tudo muito bem mas depois... Eu realmente fiquei feliz com o final, mas eu queria ter visto mais deles como casal sabe? Eles tinham uma química tão linda. O que mais me deixou feliz foi a BoRa ter se encontrado depois do término e como ela deixou o final do livro, fiquei realmente feliz com isso. O su hyeok finalmente libertou o coração dele pro amor, mas demorou tanto ?. Com o discurso do final, entendi que foram diversos tipos de amor, o amor de casados que é aquele que tenta até o fim e vê que pode dar um jeito, o amor de não desistir do que ama pelo Jin ho e a yoo ri, de acreditar nele que pode ser lindo, confortável e pode ser retribuído. E o amor dos dois que se encontraram e se descobriram no decorrer de tudo que aconteceu. Queria ter visto um amadurecimento maior da Bomi, gostei muito da personagem dela e do romance com o jinho mas eles escolherem casar foi o tipo de final que o drama iria dar, mas queria mais. Fiquei feliz com a Yu jeong e o Jin woo, a comunicação voltou pra o relacionamento deles.
Enfim, eu gostei do drama mas poderia ter sido melhor sabe? Achei que enxutaram muito, fizeram um pouquinho de drama demais. Enfim, foi ótimo, gostei de verdade mas não amei apaixonadamente.
Parabéns aos atores (vou ver tudo que o ator de su hyeok fez) e irei apoiar nos próximos projetos!
