LA LONTANANZA SAI È COME IL VENTO

Ho iniziato a vedere questo drama dopo aver letto le recensioni scritte dalle tre persone con cui più spesso mi sono trovata in sintonia sulle serie.
Molto carina, a volte incongruente (ma non ho capito se è effetto delle traduzioni), sicuramente low cost, ciò che ho apprezzato di più è stata la recitazione del protagonista maschile, Ha Seok Jin (non i suoi outfit però: mio Dio!!! Perché lo conciavano così?? Da radiare per sempre dall'albo dei costumisti chi glie li sceglieva!!!) e quindi anche il suo personaggio. Ci sono stati dei momenti veramente intensi. No, non mi riferisco ai baci di cui tutti parlano, no. Mi riferisco a momenti più...ordinari...nel senso che, pur non dicendo nulla (come la sera dell'ultimo giorno del contratto), aveva un'espressione pazzesca in cui riusciva a far trasparire l'uomo solido del suo personaggio e, nonostante ciò, profondamente umano, che è cresciuto nel corso della storia. Un uomo forte ma senza drammi, che sa di avere dei doveri al quale non può derogare; che si fa carico delle proprie responsabilità (anche sul lavoro) senza tentennamenti; che sa mettere le persone che ama davanti ai propri desideri per il loro stesso bene. Un Uomo, insomma.
Riguardo al finale: Domenico Modugno cantava "la lontananza sai è come il vento: spegne i fuochi piccoli e accende quelli grandi" ed è proprio stando lontano che ML e FL capiscono che il loro è vero amore. E, da uomo solido qual'è, ML torna a riprendersela...

Predictable arranged situation but still good

8.5 out of 10 is my rating. This is a 2016 South Korean TV Series with 16, 45 minute, episodes. It is also known as "One Percent of Anything". The male lead, Lee Jae-in (Ha Seok-jin) has to get married in order to inherit his family fortune. Kim Da-hyun (Jeon So-min) is an elementary school teacher who agrees to a six month, pretend marriage, with Jae-in to help him secure his inheretance. Will they forget they are pretending?
Spoiler 🚨 I really liked this it was just a very solid if a bit predictable romance. I like the male lead a lot and think he’s a very talented actor. I had seen him in another drama called “House Helper” and I was very impressed with his acting ability. I have not seen the female lead in anything that I know of but I thought she played the role very well. I like the way both characters evolved and how you could see them being a good couple. There was not a lot of surprise to this nor very much side story which is the only thing that has me rating it down a bit. But I would still highly recommend it and will be looking for other dramas with either of these two in them.

Simple feel good drama. I liked how the story is not that complicated. It's simple yet endearing.

One good smooth Kdrama with no overly dramatic scenes. It won't stress you out and it will make you jealous of their love story. Good for binge watching. Felt bad that I only watched it now. It's been on my list for a long time now.

I enjoyed it from the first episode until the last. If you want a break from those overly dramatic dramas, you need to watch this.

The plot is not extraordinary but it is entertaining. The ML and FL started their story from hating each other to gradually falling in love. Both did not expect to fall for each other yet can't help but fall for each other's charm. I also like that it just focuses on their love story. Although of course there are some scenes about business and other supporting roles but it's not dragging. You won't get bored watching.

Characters are so loveable too.
The FL and ML are Angel and Devil. Hehe. FL is so sweet and nice. At first I thought the ML's grandpa is just using her and I felt bad for her. But I was wrong. The Grandpa is so cute. He really likes the FL since their first encounter. The ML seems to have a bad attitude but he really is sweet and nice. A 'tsundere' as what they called in Anime. ML's adoptive Mom is not the typical chaebol Mom. I think she just really wants her son to be happy and successful. At least she didn't throw money to the FL. I also like FL's best friend, she's so protective of her. Love their friendship.

Try watching it. Although it's not the best drama out there. But it is one of those dramas that will nake you feel loved. And it will make you smile.

Great Drama!

Wow, this drama really surprised me. Not going to lie - I would have just watched this as something to fill in-between watching other dramas.... I'm going to admit - I now watched this one fully three times.

The actors were superb, the story had surprising twists, and the kissing... well - it was nice. This drama had just the perfect amount of everything in it. The main actress was just so calm and mature in her role so, so well done. Thank you! None of that screaming when they see a man in bed. Her mature shyness was so well done, the main lead - was such a cool, composed man - who played his role well as a third generation rich kid - but not over the top either. He showed such growth in the drama - again, not over the top. (A lot of drama have the characters do a 360 in their personalities - in real life this simply does not happen) Love how she would give him a stamp for his good behaviour - and how he would miss that stamp at some point during the drama.

The second leads had interesting stories as well - they didn't pull from the main story - but was there to support the main characters and their story line - which I find in some dramas' the second leads stories pull away and become at times more interesting then the main story.

The story is simple - woman saves rich old man - and rich old man wants to repay her kindness and teach his grandson how to be compassionate. I loved how the main actress was a simple school teacher - with no ulterior motives - she just wants to find a kind/good man to marry. The main actor was a hardworking, self disciplined, a bit spoiled rich kid.

16 episodes was just perfect, the pace was nice - a must watch. I don't know why this drama is not higher rated

(If there is only one thing that really irritates me (as a western viewer) is why do they always wear their clothes to bed - I know there is a lot of censorship in these dramas - but you can wear pajamas's. )

DESTINED LOVE <3

BEFORE YOU CONTINUE READING THIS REVIEW, IT DOES CONTAIN A LOT OF SPOILERS.

Story -
I enjoyed the storyline but i do think that at the start of the drama, the first 3 episodes contain a lot of fighting between the couple which annoyed me. They did have a lot of kids scenes though which were amazing & their chemistry together was on point. Overall I loved it.

Acting/cast -
I think they acting was very spot on & the cast were well chosen. I have no complaints there & I do believe that the ML is very hot. Though in the kdrama , he is seen as controlling at the start but as you continue watching it , he becomes a soft & loving man.

Music -
I don’t understand the music well considering I’m not Korean nor understand the language but I do think it had an amazing choice of songs.

Rewatch -
Personally I wouldn’t watch this again but maybe you might.

My likes & dislikes

LIKES -
they had a great bond
The story was great & so was everything else
He was very hardworking & so was she

DISLIKES -
I feel like towards the end ( mainly the last episode) it was a bit rushed & they didn’t show the wedding which was annoying
They broke up which I don’t like
& that’s it

SPOLIERS -
They end up getting married & getting pregnant at the end
The cousin & her bestfriend end up dating
Yes they do break up around episode 14 but they get back together
Yes it’s a happy ending
Yes the grandpa does tell them what she did to make him want her to marry the grandson
Yes she does get saved from the “ kidnapping “
Yes the other supporting actors that want to leads don’t get their way

WOULD I RECOMMEND ?
honestly yes but you may skip some episodes

So, first of all... I've always wanted to watch this drama every time it pops up on VIkI. But..I just don't feel like watching it ..eh IDKK. like I wasn't really expecting Somin to act even tho she acted first before being part of Running Man..but I'm shooked. She's soo good in acting but when she acts, like fake acts like if you were chosen to be the XMEn, she can't do it. She can but not really. But that's what makes it funny ykow. But...I began to feel thrilled because of Running mAN Episode 447. It was SomIN'S special episode because it was her bday. And.. the guests are her past lead-male actors and ..the guy "HA SEOK JIN" attracted me. LIKE. OMGOD. If you watch that ep..you'll feel what I feel. LOL. I know Kim Ji Suk cuz of another drama but since I've seen him b4 im meh.. he cutie tho but IT WAS MY FIRST TIME seeing Seok JIN. And that's where I began to watch this drama on 10/20/19 LMAo so descriptive.
Now for the drama..XD, IT WAS AMAZING. that's all I can say. I like the encountered and the reason why she was chosen. I like how jAE in was an arrogant btch and turn into ykow sweet, other side personality. It may be the average/normal Korean drama trill but for me...I like how the story flows, the song, how they met and other backstories that other drama does not have. The Kiss scene HIT me HARD. like...DAMNNN.. He knows what he's doing.
DUring the RM Ep... Somin said " Me and Seok Jin kissed 1 per ep.." And that made me want to start watching it. I really love the kiss scene.. it turns me on. LMAO. jkjk. OKAY IM DONE. XD

If you're looking for a cute, fluffy drama that differs from the stereotypical, surface level dramas out, then this drama is the one for you. This drama kept me at the edge of my seat alongside a racing heartbeat that sped with every sweet and memorable moment shared between the characters. Though the storyline may be a norm in the Kdrama world (rich stubborn man and poor strong-headed girl) the writers portrayed it in such a refreshing and engaging way. Name another drama where you see a grown man reject the social norm that men don't cry and bawl his eyes over the frustrations that come with loving another being? This one is a good one, in all ways ;) Give it a try!

An enjoyable show as long a you are able to ignore some aspects

I believe my review will be very short since I don't have too much to talk about.
First things first: This show is an enjoyable cliché. If you are a fan of romance (especially oldschool romance dramas) you'll like this one. However, it is important to point out that, even for 2016, this show is pretty outdated.
The pushy and controlling CEO that falls in love and starts to change because of an angel like female lead is pretty overused and might be boring to some people.
I felt a little disappointed by the female lead. At first, she seemed more assertive, but by the end, she would just constantly give in to ML wishes and that kind of annoyed me sometimes.
Speaking about the male lead, he's not completely unlikable. He's pretty sweet to FL once they start to develop feelings for each other, but there are some things that bottered me, such as: the way he wouldn't LET her wear whatever she wanted to, the huge amount of arm grabbing and the way he was kind of pushy sometimes, throwing her against walls, cars etc... It's just not cool to see nowadays. He even said that instead of learning how to drive she should just find a man who can take her to places. Like, okay dude.
Neverthless, I was able to enjoy this show a little, especially because the episodes aren't too long, so it was a good weekend binge watch for me. If you are able to shut your brain off to some of these negative aspects, you might be able to enjoy as well.

A good drama to pass your time

After finishing "Find me in your memory" (one of the best dramas, i have ever seen) i needed to see something light and "Something about 1%" is exactly that.

A typical romantic drama, that's all. Don't expect the slow-burn romance, plot twists, action, a deep story or something else like that.

The truth is that sometimes, i found myself getting bored but the final episodes and the chemistry of the 2 leads (which i have to admit that is very good) , manage to get my attention.

At the end of the day, it was a good drama to pass your time or to relax, after an intense drama, like i did.
