Las inclemencias del amor

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.

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!!

The drama is actually fresh in term of theme, educate viewers on how weather forecasting works but apparently the storyline of the characters doesn't really gain my attention.

Love story about gap age, family issue about busy parent and other relationship issue it just too common and packaged without any excitement.

When I found park min young in this drama, I expect a love story with bubbly, playful and dynamic character. Too bad , i got the opposite.

I think the reason so many people have given it poor ratings is because of the age difference between the male and female leads. The same thing happened with "We are breaking up". I think many ahjummas who watch K-drama cannot tolerate the fact that a 40 year old actress could play the role of a 32 year old who romances a hunk 10 years younger than her. If not for that fact I can't imagine why in the world anybody would give this brilliantly written, cast, directed and acted show anything less than a 9/10.

Park Min-Young is simply outstanding in every single scene, showing once again why she's the queen of comic timing. The ML also does a good job, but PMY outshines everybody else. The side stories about her sister's fumbling love life, and about her co-workers each of whom is going through their own struggle weaves a beautiful and heartwarming tapestry which is a delight to watch. Each episode is unpredictable and unlike many other Korean shows you want to keep watching until that last 16th episode even though you know whats going to happen for the most part.

It is not just the romance, the heartbreak and the drama which keeps you watching though. It is also the intricate details of weather forecasting which are ingeniously woven into each episode which are a delight to watch. Did I just say "delight to watch" twice? Yes, I did. That's because it is. I'm rarely left with such a good feeling after watching a show. Watch it and you will see what I mean 😊

My love for K-drama started with "What's wrong with Secretary Kim", was renewed by "Crash-landing into you" and continues to be deepened by lovely shows such as this one.

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.
