My Only Love Song

Overall a sweet rom com but spoilt by a continual stream of flashbacks, it's almost like they only had a couple of episodes of story but decided to pad it out to 20 episodes. Not one of the best k rom coms but ok for a wet Sunday afternoon.

This was not good... definitely the worst Kdrama I've seen so far. The attempts at humor just did not land for me at all, and mostly made me cringe throughout.

It was one of those shows where things just happened because the writer wanted them to, with no real justification, buildup, explanation, or even an attempt at a set up. Without spoiling anything, the ending was like the writers gave up and just waved a magic wand so they could finish and go home... you'll know it when you see it. Even though nothing in the show makes much sense (definitely check your brain at the door), they didn't even bother to introduce even a convenient/contrived mystical or poetic excuse for the ending. It just happens out of nowhere... poof... story resolved.

The first half was a chore to get through. I'm used to Kdramas opening an episode with the last scene of the previous episode, but usually you get to see a new perspective, gain important context, etc... but not in this show. Expect a significant chunk of the runtime (and episodes are already pretty short) to be watching an identical scene multiple times in a row. This becomes less frequent towards the end, but it's super annoying for much of the show.

I will say that the last few episodes were decent, and they managed to be enjoyable. The lead actress is great at crying scenes for sure. Wish I didn't waste my time with it though.

This show is seriously funny, especially the first half, so... Drop in!

I had just watched Live Up To Your Name-7.6 which involves time travel to/from the Joseon period, so redundancy was a concern. Turns out, there was no need to worry, tee-hee.

There's nothing novel about entertainment features that portray time travel to a romanticized past era, anyway. Not only is the contrast between different cultures fascinating, but the fact that people are the same, no matter the circumstances, resonates.

Did I say fascinating? Not on this show. This show displays that the differences are HILARI🤣US.

What's so funny, you ask? Driving a big van through a cramped Joseon shopping district- after beheading the "monster" (the van) didn't work. Pulling out a 99cent lighter and causing panic. Teaching the Joseans "2 thumbs up👍🏽," drinking games, or slang. Fine, it's all been done before, but this show reaches into the backseat and pulls out the laughs. It's all giggles until a misplaced history book almost wipes out Korea entirely. Oh my. What should we do?

The van, Bong-Bong, is the most intelligent of the characters. Bong-Bong clearly has an agenda, and drives the plot, ahem.

Speaking of characters, we have the petulant actress, the greedy flimflam artist, the Mute Ninja who communicates with his mind, the escaped princess, the villain (a narcissist in full bloom), and more.

I loved this corny little show. The episodes are all just 30 minutes, so each one is its own brief escape. Bong-Bong may take me anywhere. Let him (yes, Bong-Bong is a male, even though On-dal calls him 'my lady' throughout) anyway, let him take you through 20 fun filled episodes. You won't want to return!

You have reached your destination.

My Only Love Song is a funny, heartwarming series. I laughed and I cried as I watched this drama. I loved the lead couple and the chemistry between them was convincing. I too watched it from beginning to end, without pausing. If you want to watch a Korean drama that has heart, this show is the one for you. Kudos to all associated with this drama.

This movie absolutely has no logic. But somehow wrapped up pretty much okay. It also doesn't have too much complexity and its hilarious. The chemistry between two leads are lovey dovey beyond believe. It's clingy too, rather in a good way. Oh ya, please put your brain in the freeze before watching this, you won't need that one while watching. Ah, and the actor didn't hold it even a bit while ...., how should I put it in good words, showing his love towards the actress. So it has pretty steamy kissing scene!
