"Was It Love" does indeed have its charming moments, but when our protagonist Song Ji Hyo, may quickly become Korea's scream queen. Yes, being under debt is by no means fun, but the premise of her owing someone else's debt doesn't let this really get off the ground. It's entertainment too be sure, but "Crash Landing On You" "Memories Of The Alhambra" "Mister Sunshine" and quite a well written drama "My Mister" all have characters that are believable.

I have started my need for Korean drama fix's when I first saw "Crash Landing On You" which I told my wife " . . . just watch ONE episode with me and if you don't like it, then fine, I won't bother you any more." Now after watching a list of 23 dramas (together with my wife) we have come to outrageous opinions of what we think Korean culture is. You eat a lot in Korea (huge mouthfuls.) You all seem to have a propensity for drinking. (We would like to find Soju so maybe we can be addicted.) And last but not least, Korean actors seem to cry copious amounts of tears at the drop of a hat. Of what training did they receive? I seriously ask that. Korean women are beautiful and the men are handsome so that maybe provides me excuses to keep watching. When you are in the middle of no where in Kansas, these dramas provide an escape, so I thank the Korean film industry and also to Netflix for having the foresight to air these.

All my stars are for the male lead Son Ho-jun who played Oh Tae-oh. Now I know why I very rarely give a good review for the female leads. It is because the writers make me detest the female lead. This whole story is so frustrating and the best part of it at all is the last 10 seconds of the series. Other than that the only thing I enjoyed is Oh Tae-oh and the child actors did a fine job acting as well. This is the last time I will be watching a single mother K-Drama that allows the child to believe that they got abandoned by their father and the mother never straightens them out. Couldn't stand it.

I know Korean society is still conservative but the dialogues over the main character being a single mom are so full of stereotypes that it's hurtful to watch. They portray her situation as being shameful and pitiful even though she's a strong woman who fights for her dreams and her family. Even the clothes are pushing the stereotype of a pitiful single mom. For example, they make her wear everyday "mom clothes" to go to meatings with CEO's and movie stars while even her roomate, who is a teacher, wears stylish clothes. This could have been a fantastic K-drama, but all of this made it not so enjoyable...

It's not a spoiler but you can skip the last episode..it doesn't change the outcome at all and requires the lead actor to make a completely unfathomable decision for fake drama. I can only think they added it because they had to write 16 episodes. U p to then one of the best romcom kdrama I have seen ...definitly top 5 all time for me. Interesting characters, well acted and a nice lead actress. Some funny and emotional scenes. If not for the truly stupid final episode I could have rated it a ten.

A mother with a young daughter has the choice of four men with three of them knowing her from college. It is a well acted drama but for me it doesn't have a good enough story to hold my interest. I was also disappointed with the man she ended up with as I found him least likeable.

" Was it love " had a strong start, an ambitious love square, but a messy progress.

The beginning was nice, melodramatic and the dynamics of the two main leads were entertaining, as well as the mystery of what happened in the past between them and who was the father of the child. The other possible lovers were smoothly introduced too and there were some comedy elements that spiced up the plot. The two kids were also fun to watch.

However, halfway through, and especially towards the ending, things went downhill. Nothing really happened, as all actions were going in circles, being repeated, in a boring, tiring result. The final twists were just a huge no. The big mafia-action sceme did not feat well with the rest of the mood. The ending was even worse, not quite open, but it felt old, like something that dramas from two decades ago will use, especially that "after-years-not-disappearing-I'm-back" kind of ending.

Now, for the characters, the male lead was annoying, the teacher boring, the actor irritating, the mafia boss okay and the female lead, even though she was played by one of the actresses that I don't really like, she was okay, but frustrating at times, especially when it came to her motives of acting the way she did towards the male lead.

So, overall, five out of ten.

I wept like a baby not just tears ....it's a very good series i love it .I was happy and also sad watching it i like all the actors but i like so much the kid ....i wait her to grow up and make movie's also .

Loved the beginning of the story but towards the middle it seemed characters were stagnant, no development and the plot a bit overcharged for a 16 episodes drama, and the dumb revelation of their misunderstanding. First half keps you hooked, second half made me skip. The finale quite boring. All in all is a series above the average with funny moments.

This drama was aired almost a year ago already and I just decided to make a review about it now. Anyway, every episode in this drama is very meaningful. Moreover, its storyline is very realistic. We all could possibly relate to it. I like how actress Song Ji Hyo portrayed her character as Noh Ae Jeong. Her acting was outstanding and she is very extraordinary. The emotions that she invested in this drama seemed to be very powerful. I highly recommend this drama. In fact, i still re-watch it from time to time because i just can't get enough of it.

There was so much potential here. Sigh.

I'm caught between loving Kdramas and being utterly annoyed by them. Loved how this took a past love triangle (... square?) into the present with the potential for a balance of both proper drama (mafia boss guy) and comic relief (nauseating arrogant fool ex) but lost me at the lead character.

If that's normal behavior for a Korean woman, then WHY are the supporting women in these movies so unbelievably cool? The best females in this movie are her assistant and her entirely fabulous bar owner/landlady friend. (Also her daughter, major credit and huge talent!!)

I'm finding this over and over again in these films. Why the constant winging and whining? Why the melodrama in completely unwarranted scenarios? Why the lack of intelligence in obvious situations? Why the hysterics in perfectly normal circumstances?

If this woman has worked ANYwhere for 5 minutes, she knows that she needs to be professional or at least credible. A list of top tier guys giving a frumpy, bossy, totally unprofessional, inexperienced PRODUCER her first movie opportunity ever? Ummm... No.

Sitting through episode after episode of watching a single mom play out three amazing guys and one loser... then ending up with the loser as a "happy ending"? Again, really painful to watch. From about the 4th episode on I just got angry- with everyone... from the actors to the stylists to the writers... just ended up reading about them instead of watching. As a single mother who has actually gone through this plotline, I guarantee there were better ways to tell this story.

Watching was it love gave me a different experience. I recommed this series for those who want to watch some thing different. I appreciate the writer, director, female lead, the other supporting male actors. I liked the female charachter very much. The drama starts with a mix of comedy and serious scenes, so watching first few episodes gave me a mix of emotions. I got different feelings for each episodes. The plot progresses in an unpredictable way. I liked the drama. Imdb rating is low, but its quite understandable, beacuase this series is not everyone's cup of tea. I wish the best for the writer, director and the female lead song ji-hyo.

This k-drama series is definitely worth the watch! I'm only on episode 6 now and the suspense of the next episode release has me on the edge of my seat! Basically the movie is about a single mother who has been struggling for 14 years to be financially stable to take care of her daughter and mother. Down the road, she meets 3 guys from her past and you can't help but wonder who is potentially her daughters father. Throw in a rugged, yet intimidating loan shark in present day who has taken an interest in her as well. Oh the drama!! This series is definitely funny, heart warming and full of twists, I can't wait for the next episode. I highly recommend to watch!

Was it Love is definitely a Korean Tv show jewel ! 3 guys who woo on the same girl named Noh Ae Jong (Song Ji Hyo) has their separately distinctive chemistry. Each episodes has different dynamic. As the drama goes by, the connections between those 3 guys with the main character will getting deeper and deeper into trouble. Furthermore , there is a cute interaction between Noh Ae Jong's daughter Noh Ha Nee (Um Chae Yong) and Koo Dong Chan (Yoon Sung Woo) and the aggravating performance of Son Ho Jon (Oh Dae Oh) that will take you to an emotional roller coaster. Was it love is jolly, puzzling, and stimulative. Most of all, this drama is not cheezy. Triangle love is a clichè. Pentagon love will undisputedly put you into depravation.

This Kdrama definitely worth the watch!!! Love Song Ji Hyo 💖

This drama is the best and I love the characters and the story.
