DNA Lover (2024)

Getting more interesting

Only on episode 2. Watching this because of Siwon. His character’s always have an element of humor to them. He plays those characters well. well and he is good looking too.? Like others have said the first episode dragged a bit. The second episode was better. FL seems ok. Not sure I would have picked her for this role but too early to tell. Appears there will be other story lines entwined besides the ML/FL story. Finding that newer dramas are putting different spins into their storylines. Let’s wait and see.

update: Episode 6-more to the story line comes in to play. I am giving it a chance.

update-getting more interesting. I think it started off slow. Not sure I care for the ML and FL lead together.

This drama was good in beginning but sadly.
So we can say that the search of FL in DNA to find love is not necessarily wrong but it depends on the person.
Too many episodes wasted dragged on love triangles. But i really liked SML, he was caring and good with FL and no obsessed.
SFL has changed a little aronde the ending.
So SFL says she is no longer polyamory but that does not also mean that she has become monogamous but that she is in the process of looking for what she wants, and next to it there is SML who smiles at her like a stupid lol.
The end of the ML and FL is a happy ending but I have the impression that we had a glimpse of the possibility that the ML will have vision problems in the near future.

Not my cup of tea

First 2-3 episodes were quite promising. A love based on DNA compatibility. But then the writers introduced telepathy between partners!!! Give me a break. Good thing that they didn't introduced teleportation, just so you can go where your loved one is.
Then there are way toooo many side characters. And of course we had to have a killer, cause 4 couples were not enough. Some relations were interesting (doctor-firefighter) but most were boring and annoying.
The series is too long (8 ep max would have been enough) and by the time I got to the ending I was pretty bored (and I dropped this series for a couple of weeks).
A good ending would have made it more bearable but the ending is an open ending, hinting that the ML will lose his eyesight or they will break up. And the SFL... she is something new at he end of the series, not mono, not polyamorous, something only she knows what she is. And the SML is with her, smiling like and idiot, God knows why, cause I really don't.
The main story had potential but it quickly faded away.

A Bit Disappointing

I really wanted to like this series, but I am left a little flat. The FL's character is annoying. She's a well-educated researcher in her 30's and incredibly immature. I just cannot see how the ML, a well-educated, worldly man, could find anything endearing about her. I understand that aegyo is a cultural style in Korea, but it's annoying. Especially in anyone over the age of 30.

The story did not need to be carried over 16 episodes. I could have been wrapped up in 8. Siwon did a great job with his character and was probably the most developed of all of them. The rest all fall a little flat.

Honestly, it's a shame that given the level of talent in this series I cannot give it a better rating. Watch if you have nothing better to do.

wasted potential

Pretty... the hairdo alone is the same. but the general silliness of the characters are the same.

As a writer, i like and understand flawed characters... so i get and understand how both of the leads act the way they do to their shitty childhoods. i juat wish we could acknowlwdged how the rest of their life (careers, school, friends) can also inform on their personalities.

it was still fun. just not great and not somethjng i will come back to for a second viewing.

also, slight spoiler here....




she finds put she ran the wrong DNA and it breaks up the main couple for half the show... BUT we never try to run Siwons DNA properly. she just automatically thinksnshes incompatible with him because she is compatoble with the wrong person she did run. WTF?
