5/30/2023 0 Comments Discovery of love![]() ![]() I’m so impressed with JW’s acting and range - I’ve not seen her do this depth of feeling and am so here for it. We also see this same approach to what an I tomate relationship looks like play out in the friendships and how they’re diff between the two doctors and the main leads best friend (who is the doctor) and her ex. We begin with our two main leads that we aren’t supposed to like very much, and we don’t…even those of us who have seen the Korean version over and over.īecause the main leads are that good at moving is from an idealized love (that we to often see in drama’s) to what looks like ‘real love’, to the place we are by episode 16 - love is made up of all the little things we forget - but are actually glue that keeps us together. Watching is how we discover what romance looks like This is a gem and I keep telling myself I’m going to wait until it’s over and watch them all at once - but I can’t! Finally brought back some humor in the last episode. I’ve never seen this actor in a modern look as well.Ĥ. I appreciate natural kisses - no fan service, but happens when it’s appropriate in a normal, loving, mature relationship.ģ. We need more mother characters like her in C-dramaland.Ģ. FL has such a cool relationship with her mother. This might not be a perfect drama but I really like it a lot.ġ. We also follow the perfect boyfriend’s journey of accepting his past and loving himself. I personally enjoy the more emotional scenes and the process of the former couple coming to realize that their relationship really has ended, and ML finally found closure. The drama also switches from a rom-com happy and silly tone, to a more melodramatic tone in the last ⅓ of the drama. This continues to be that fine line of liking and disliking a drama. ![]() When you watch this, either you hate them or you try to understand where they’re coming from. How I want to scream and shake some sense into them. There are many frustrating decisions made by the three leads. It’s like both Janice Wu and Qin Jun Jie are playing multiple roles. With the flashbacks, we see a younger and more innocent version of the couple. On the other hand, FL only has negative memories and wants nothing to do with ML. ML only has the happy memories and thus wants to get back with FL. I really like how we learn of ML and FL history by seeing how differently they remember events of the past. They are the main reason why I watched, did not drop and gave “Discovery of Romance'' a good rating. Even when they’re just calmly talking about business and designs, I can feel their chemistry slowly sizzling in the background. The argument and bickering are fun, but the emotional scenes are just something else. The chemistry between the two is amazing. I am so glad I stuck around because they are both awesome. I’ve never seen him in a modern drama so I am looking forward to this. I became a fan of Qin Jun Jie after watching him in “Listening Snow Tower” (love him but not the drama) and also in “Noble Aspirations”. I haven’t seen Janice Wu in a drama for quite some time and still remember how much I liked her in “Le Coup de Foudre” and also as the sassy actress BFF in “You are my Glory”. I stuck around because I am a fan of Janice Wu and Qin Jun Jie. Feelings are not always black and white, and being wishy washy about feelings and decisions is actually the most realistic part of a relationship, especially a love triangle. However, if you are able to stay a little longer and keep watching, you will see that this is a drama about healing, closures, rediscovering yourself, following your dreams, personal growth and how complicated feelings could be in real life. They are flawed and the initial comedy doesn’t paint a great picture on them, well, maybe except the perfect boyfriend. Our three main leads are not super lovable characters either. There are many silly and comedic moments in the first 8-10 episodes, and mainly due to Qin Jun Jie’s character, the ex-boyfriend. I was somewhat caught off guard as well, as I wasn’t expecting it to be a comedy. I can also see how many might drop this drama within the first few episodes. If you do not like love triangles, this is definitely not the drama for you. The whole premise of the story is about a love triangle: an ex-boyfriend comes back into the female lead’s life and stirs up all types of emotions and troubles. I can see how “Discovery of Romance” can get both positive and negative reviews. I have not seen the Korean version so I am just reviewing this on its own. You either Love or Hate this drama - I love it and I hope you do as well Completed:
