A Relatividade do Amor (2014)

The 1st half was overly dramatic and the 2nd half was a snooze fest. Park Hae-jin's character Li Ang and his love interest Li Ren were supposed to be the main pair but they threw in 3 other couples that had the same amount if not more time given to them, especially Li Ren's cousin, Tian Na. Towards the middle it seemed SHE was the lead.

When time was actually given to the OTP, it fell flat. I did not feel their chemistry at all. It was odd, they had scenes that should have been romantic and sweet but it felt like they were just checking off a to do list. Definitely not building a close and connected relationship with each other. Such a disappointment.

If a viewer is into crazy and sometimes nonsensical kinds of relationship shenanigans they may like it. Lots of breakups, lots of ex's, meddling elders and a bunch of grown ups who don't know what they want. Personalities seemed to change on a whim. Several scenarios happen over and over. What was the worst for me was I didn't particularly LIKE most of the characters. Even the ones that weren't bad weren't that exciting either.

***Possibly Spoiler-ish***
One love story fights against age and social status differences and has a jealous ex-girlfriend which was as cliché as possible. The jealous ex-girlfriend is especially grating. There is also an extra-martial affair relationship, a crazy psycho girl in love with a creepy magician and one other relationship that was actually normal but just seemed to be there to fill up screen time. One character that I did warm up to was Li Ren's cousin, Tian Na. In the beginning I couldn't stand her but by the end she won me over with her exuberant and quirky personality.

Comme beaucoup, j'adore Park Hae Jin alors j'ai tenu jusqu'au 33ème épisode en souffrance.

J'ai aussi apprécié le personnage de Nana (la petite soeur loufoque de la lead femme) qui a apporte un peu de fraîcheur, un léger souffle de jeunesse et de sourire (sur la première moitié du drama)



Sinon ce drama est rempli d'absurdité, aucun être humain ne réagirait comme eux. Des couples qui se forment et se séparent dans tous les sens. il y a beaucoup d'incohérence dans les émotions et le scénario.



Je n'ai ressenti aucune alchimie entre les leads. Bon la barrière de la langue a du faire son effet. Du coup, je tire mon chapeau à PHJ qui a été quand même excellent, charismatique et hyper sexy. Bon courage aux fans de PHJ, l'histoire est absurde mais on tient jusqu'à la fin pour voir son beau sourire et son regard.
