Las inclemencias del amor

Oh gosh I started watching this show and it was quite nice the first few episodes. But it ranks low on my list of shows to watch if you haven't . I found the script to be extremely trite. I found the casting quote annoying. The weather forecast as a device is an interesting and great idea. It's just unsatisfactory and feels inauthentic here!!

I really liked the concept of this series. The office setting was nice and the base of the plot was good too. The beginning was pretty good, although it was a little quick paced. But around episode five or six the story started to weaken. Many of the conflicts felt pointless and even baseless. The chemistry started to die down too. The ending also felt very sudden.

Most reviewers consider this drama boring due to its lack of dramatic ups and downs. If that's what you're after then you should indeed give this one a miss. So far I am liking this drama a lot. I like that there are no sadistic boss that screams at and tortures the staff non-stop; no friend or colleague to betray you at any step; no evil and all-powerful chairman whose only goal is to destroy our poor hero or heroine and no corrupt police chief to do his bidding; no serial killer lurking around either so far... What we have are pretty normal people with typical challenges in their lives that most of us can relate to one way or another. When it comes to the love lives of the leads and supporting casts, they are realistic. No one is perfect and each person comes with his/her defects or personal trauma. That makes them real. That makes them human. Yet if all this sounds too serious, IMO show somehow manages to bring a very lighthearted and positive atmosphere so it definitely feels like a comedy with many opportunities for a smile or two. We'll see how the 2nd half goes but so far I am really enjoying these sympathetic characters despite, or because of, their occasional pathetic behaviors.

This is the first time I think Song Kang is playing such an upbeat and cheerful character, his character in this drama is like a breath of fresh air from all the other characters he played before.

Park Min-Young as always is fabulous and the queen of office romances.

(I was exhilarated to watch Ki-Jun (Yoon Park's character) being slapped. The whole scene was nicely written) The series has ended, and I have mixed emotions about it.

As an office romance drama, this show was just okay. It was a good attempt to relate weather and relationships, but a few times it got a little confusing to understand, and you will have to focus to know what they actually mean.

Song Kang has tried his best. But halfway through the show, his character lost its charm. His character that started out as cheerful and upbeat lost its impact a little, and more than a few times his acting reminded me of his character from Nevertheless.

I love Park Min-Young and as a fan, I will support her always because I know she has potential. But she does need to play a different character apart from an office worker as it's losing its spark and I know she can, so hoping to see her in a different role in the future.

The secondary leads played their part well and I have to admit in the end I did not hate them as much as I did at the start.

The ending is what we all anticipated.

I do have to confess though that throughout the show I was mesmerized by how fine Song Kang looked. I would watch the show just to look at Song Kang again.

Overall it's a good show, not the best but definitely at least a one-time watch.

There is potential in the story but unfortunately due to some factors it just didn't feel like all the pieces fit. First of all their office has no warm or cosy feeling. It would have helped to invest in the interior design.

The characters didn't manage to form a story, it felt too disconnected. Absolutely no chemistry between the lead actors. Too many conversations about the weather which prevents the story to develop depth.

I got stuck at episode 5 and stopped watching.

I wouldn't recommend the show.
