Radio Romance

This drama has an emotionless famous actor who has no control of his life, a mother who is not only mean evil manipulator controlling & an ice Queen; a wash-up imfamous actress who does anything for money; the head writer who is mean takes advantage on others weakness & the radio script writer who is fickle-minded, clueless & weak.

Basically this drama is about a couple first love but with a twist, Dislike the supporting actress, she is so insignificant.

Triangle love & full of obstacles.

The romance in this drama is weak. There are alot more romantic, swoonworthy romance drama then this one, watch those then this. I watch as i thought it will be good but in the end I watch because of the leading actor. The 6 stars are for the actor. Honestly I prefer the leading actor, he played his role better than the leading actress is very stiff. It doesn't reflect that they have any chemistry together. A peck on the lips are not kissing.

For a romantic comedy centered on the fast-paced, emotionally resonant world of radio broadcasting, 2018's Radio Romance somehow managed to pull off the impressive feat of being relentlessly dull. While starring two capable actors, Kim So-hyun and Yoon Doo-joon, the drama quickly burned through its initial promise, leaving behind a prolonged 16-episode arc characterized by sluggish pacing, predictable conflict, and a romance that generated all the excitement of static noise.

The premise-a perpetually cheery, struggling radio writer, Song Geu-rim, recruits a moody, top-tier actor, Ji Soo-ho, to host her show-sets the stage for classic opposites-attract chaos. Unfortunately, this main conflict is resolved far too early. Once Soo-ho grudgingly accepts the role, the plot loses all momentum. The series substitutes genuine narrative tension with repetitive, drawn-out flashbacks to the characters' shared, tragic childhood past. Every episode felt like padding, constantly revisiting the same trauma points without offering meaningful development, giving the audience very little reason to tune in week after week.

A significant issue was the lack of engaging chemistry between the leads. While Kim So-hyun is undeniably charming, her earnest energy was often mismatched with Yoon Doo-joon's portrayal of the brooding, emotionally closed-off Soo-ho. His performance, while meant to convey inner pain, often came across as merely listless. The slow-burn romance felt less like anticipation and more like a stall, hampered by a central relationship dynamic that struggled to move past its initial standoff.

Furthermore, the backdrop of the radio station-which should have been a vibrant hub of creativity and life-felt strangely lifeless. The secondary characters, including the jealous rival PD, were thinly written clichés, doing little to lift the overall quality of the workplace drama.

In the end, Radio Romance failed to find its frequency. It took a high-wattage concept and turned it down to a faint, repetitive whisper. While it promises a warm, nostalgic look at the power of storytelling through sound, it delivers a narrative experience that is unfortunately muted and forgettable.

The drama is soft, bright and seem like a healing drama. While Korea now is full of dramas with serious plot twist and some people might call this drama is boring but i dont think so. The drama's background is around a radio center and each episode of the radio give you a story and a quote that help you overcome your pain or your sorrow. The quote can bring you a whole new day full of positive energy. And the chemistry between the characters were good too, both the main and the supporting ones. If you are tired of those mind-blowing move and need one to recharge and refresh your mind, then Radio Romance is ideal choice.

Yes, the pace of this show is a little slow but it's enjoyable. I loved the main characters. I found their story interesting and was quite surprise to learn about their history. Yes it's nothing to spectacular that sets it apart from other dramas but like I said, it's enjoyable.

Watching it once is enough. Kim So Hyun finally has her first on screen kisses (and it is a lot!). It has some good parts but not much. Story plot is simple.
