Batalla de amor

I thought this was going to be another cliché drama and I wasn't convinced about the male lead at the beginning, but oh boy! How wrong I was.

I have to say that I am extremely happy to keep watching south korea creating more and more feminist and non traditional dramas lately, we have had a lot of jewels lately but they keep surpassing themselves.

This series is an oda to women's freedom and how we should never settle for the patriarchal norms that are stablished by a sexist society. And of course it also depicts the double standards for men and women within that same society.

I could say this series is open minded but in reality is only open minded in Asian countries, because women are already living this reality in western countries.

In terms of characters I cannot stress enough how much I ADORE the FL character in this series. Strong, witty, quirky, loyal and with a huge sense of justice. A woman fighting against societal stereotypes for women and ignoring judgement from others. Just being free doing whatever she wants to be happy, same as men have done for centuries.

I also loooved the bromance between the ML and the secondary male lead.

Super fun series, short and sweet. Packed with comedy and action you will laugh and enjoy the electrifying chemistry between the leads.

What is not to love??? Go watch it!

This short rom-com has comedy, romance with action n drama. It's about leads who are having deep prejudices against the opposite sex, get into love battle.

This drama has unconventional female lead character. She is feisty lawyer, who is social crusader against misogynist, sexists n patriarchal society and gives vigilante justice with her martial art practice. She is gritty, strong, baddass.

On the other hand, the male lead's character is A list Hero, who appears sweet, spotless character is actually rude and judgemental towards woman. When opposite collide love battle begins.

Because series is short ( 10 episodes) they explore serious social issues on surface level. And quickly just mention character backgrounds. At times it get slow n there are some plotholes.

This is the first romantic series for both lead actors, otherwise they known for their action n fight roles. Both has good HOT on-screen chemistry, done quite good job.

FL Kim Ok-bin amazed me with her fight, action, adventure scenes also done romantic n comedy scenes well. ML Teo Yoo swoon me with his physique n look. Ji hoon-kim made me laugh n swoon. I had a good laugh watching bromance of ML n Hoon-kim. 😅

Likable characters, easy, simply entertaining, binge-worthy series.

Though it's predictable, nothing revolutionary, it did entertain me and I had good time binging it.

This was so fun to watch and definitely binge worthy too. Only 10 episodes long it can be watched in one weekend. The description's I have seen of this series I have seen don't give it justice and I almost skipped over it on my watch list but glad I gave it a chance. It is full of romance, action by both the female lead and also the ML during his film shootings. The FL Kim Ok-vin is very likable and full of spunk not only an intelligent lawyer but talented physically in street fighting, pool, darts, taming men all for the sake of revenge for being treated badly by men "because she is a woman". Of course she is working in an "all male" good old boy law firm and one of the lawyers is an X-boyfriend who she took revenge on. I rarely mention a FL and she played the part perfectly so it says a lot for me to include her in my review. The ML. Teo Yoo has been casted perfectly to play the part of "a jerk" as he was called by the FL. He treats all women badly and is a top actor that hides his true character from fans. The actor I really loved the most was Kim Ji-hoon - how can you not? He was just too handsome, cool, played his part with perfection - CEO & Manager of the entertainment Co. Have seen him in Money Heist & Evil Flower & was fantastic there too. I may have to kick someone off my Top 5 FAV List Male K-Drama Actors and add him instead. The ending could have been a little more satisfying IMO, however still gave it 10 due to maybe Netflix was leaving it open for 10 more episodes in a season 2. One note is that Netflix went a little overboard billing this as a bromance movie IMO.

I was exploring the internet to find something to watch, and I found this dorama on IMDB, and I love it!

This is a fun, and romantic story by Netflix, and I am here for it! I watched all ten episodes in one day, and I don't regret it!

This is a feel-good show. Of course, it is predictable and naive, but sometimes it's just what you need. All the actors are great, and the leads have great chemistry! When they are together, my heart beats faster as well.

That's true what I read, that this kdrama was made American-like. But why not? I liked that the leading actress was a feminist, and in the end, she also found her way to find the balance between love and hate for men.

Not only the story of the leads were good, but the second planed heroes were very interesting as well!

Honestly loved it!

Wow wow wow, yep it made my ten list. I'm ecstatic. I'm also really picky. You probably are too. You have seen so many like me, ah but those wonderful few. Yep they make the list. The list that you would re-watch again. Your go to list when you need cheering up or courage or just laughter. The list is never huge, very selective.

I started watching this at dinner tonight. Hmmm let's check this one out. Then it was hours later and I was looking at the clock thinking," just one more". Finished it and loved every minute of it.

The main character was so out of character and I absolutly adored her. So strong and amazing. I wont give spoilers but it was fantastic. From set to clothing to an amazing cast of human beings that made me cry, laugh and not even notice time flew by.

Ah these moments you get when you connect with a movie or tv-show and its pure delight. The "10" list is a wonderful thing. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Who knows, maybe it will make your list. Bravo to all involved.
