Eye Love You

If you accept the premise of this series, it could be very sweet.

Yes, Yuki's character may be a bit overplayed by the actress, but I think Tae-Oh is one of the most charming characters I've seen. He's so encouraging and adorable that I melt. It's perhaps a bit too unbelievable that he ends up as an intern at Yuki's workplace - but again, if you accept the premise and view this series as very light-hearted entertainment, it can work.

I really enjoyed watching this series and loved the inclusion of Korean language, culture, and since I know some Korean myself, it was fun to hear Tae-Oh's thoughts in Korean - especially when I don't understand a word of Japanese like the other characters speak in the series.

There are far too few series out there where the main character falls in love with someone from another culture - there should be more of that, and I think this series is a sweet little contribution to that.

This series is for everyone who likes romantic stories as it is a sort of permanent back and forth between the CEO of "Dolce and Chocolate" Yuri and her Korean intern Taea-O. Even if at times a bit lenghty and too much forced, at some point the series grips the attention of the viewer and we want to know more about the love story of the protagonists. It might be the right thing to watch on a lonely evening as the characters are all very cute and it is easy to connect to them. Havent't we all been there when we couldn't tell someone that we have feelings?

It it not the kind of series in which the characters evolve much or in which the plot abruptly turns, but it is a cute amusement.

This was quite an enjoyable show. Cute story. Lots of charming and interesting characters. A mildly interesting back-story.

But then episode 4 comes along, and you can start to see it....that failing of every less than stellar writer out there: The typical "Let's make the entire plot revolve around miscommunications, misperceptions, or total lack of reason." But episode 4 ends kind of meh....maybe OK.

But the transition into episode 5, which makes zero sense considering episode 4, brings all the typical tropes to the forefront. The lead, who is quirky, cute, and unsure, rapidly becomes unlikeable and annoying in her behaviors. And the writers don't help any by making the motivations behind every scene she is in justify a completely different outcome, or at least a completely different response from her.

Her actions become completely random and unfathomable that you stop caring, simply because you know she is going to say, act, or do something stupid.

I know it is only 5 episodes in, but if this show continues to revolve around using these cheap overused tricks to generate any sort of conflict (where any sane person wouldn't have any) then this show isn't going to get any better. And note that I said "sane". Sure, she has an ability that others don't know she has. But it does NOT justify her actions, and hence it becomes clear she has a serious psychological issue as well. And her traumatic back story can't, or hasn't, justified it one bit.

Again, lazy writers using lazy inconceivable interpersonal responses simply to move the plot/conflict along is just painful to watch.

I get that this TV series was aired in primetime, when youngsters are still awake to watch, I also understand the conservatism of east Asia's society. But the FL is 30 years old by her own admission and the ML is 26. I don't expect nor wish for raunchy, vulgar scenes. However when the two leads join lips in what couldn't even be called a peck. When the FL acts like a preteen, it detracts from the story, and insults viewers' intelligence. This is a woman who is a CEO. The ML is a PhD candidate. Then too make matters worse the ML's friend and colleague acts like he's in 5th grade. I couldn't finish the series. It was just too silly and childish.

Japanese Drama '' Eye Love You '' is a fantasy-office romance with a cute couple, but a messy fantasy story.

First of all, the love story was enjoyable. The couple had chemistry, which aided the drama a lot, and the comical misunderstandings were cute. The second couple was entertaining as well.

The office drama was also nice and the relationship between father and daughter was so sweet!

However, the fantasy element was all over the place. The drama seemed to forget about it for most of the series' length, and then, they tried to add some melodrama to it towards the ending, but they only ended up mishandling the whole affair.

Finally, the performances were great by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, six out of ten.
