Um Pedaço da Sua Mente (2020)

A piece of a masterpiece

I just have one word for this: WOW! Guys, I enjoy regular dramas, with many clichés and cheesy romance, but I also love dramas that bring real and important themes, and this one it's just like that.

The story tells us basically about the process of grief, and I was worried about what kind of message this could bring to the audience, but I never saw this theme being approach this way. For me, every detail was incredibly beautiful and full of meaning. See the process with Moon Ha Won (Jung Hae In) since the beginning and how he grows in the process was amazing. His relationship with Han Seo Woo (Chae Soo Bin) isn't forced like a major passion, but just a connection that made both of them see their grief from another perspective. We can see that they decided to foucus on Ha Won's grief, but the process in Seo Woo's life was also very strong. I felt like I was falling in love too at the pass of the episodes, it was crazy! When Ha Won said "I love you" for the first time, my heart stopped. The side stories were also very strong for me. Kang In Wook (Kim Sung Gyu) and his redemption, Kim Ji Soo (Park Joo Hyun) and the self-forgiveness, all the characters of the Boarding House (honorable mention to Kim Min Jung (Lee Jung Eun), OMG! I just love her plot). I felt touched in every single episode, I think this is a real healing drama, as they say. My desire in the entire show was to see everyone keep going and find the purpose of their lives again.

I have to talk about the OST. We have amazing songs that fit in every single moment... The classic music that made part of the story it's also beautiful and wet my eyes in many moments. I just wanna share one of the quotes that made me think about a lot of things. This one was when Seo Woo was talking about things that made her happy:

"I go to work at my usual time and find that it's light today while was dark the day before. When that happens, I like seeing the world-changing on its own according to each season. Every day changes a little bit."

So, this is what this drama it's about. How you can suffer and be in pain in a day, but how you need to wait and see the things changing in a slow fade. For me, this is a masterpiece and a "chosen one" (★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★).

See you soon!
XOXO, Mari!

I love these dramas that are only like 12 episodes. The storyline was very intriguing when you lose someone that you thought you would love forever from a child to a young adult. It's hard, right? I did get angry for a minute when I felt that Ji Soo was using Ha Won because she was going through her issues. I hated that part. The best part out of all the episodes is the gadget that was invented so one can talk to the spirit of a loved one. Another time I hollered at my TV is when Seo Woo was doing the same thing Ji Soo did and that was leaving Ha Won but that didn't last long... When you can get me to holler at my TV and curse at it... that tells me that this story deserved a 10. It had me. Thank you to Jung Hae In, he is just so dang cute and talented! I saw Chae Soo Bin in I'm not a Robot and loved her in that drama series also.

Painfully slow

A quick overview of what I thought about the first few episodes.

I tried with this drama. I really did.

First of all, if you're expecting a romantic comedy, this aint for you.

A Piece of Your Mind is a melancholic/romantic drama that mixes in cheesy dialogue with a relaxed sort of vibe. And while I do appreciate what it was trying to achieve, and acknowledge that there may be a select audience that appreciates this sort of drama, I just thought that overall the drama was not executed well.

First of all, as shown in the headline, the show is painfully slow. And the show gave me no reason to stick through the plot.

The main characters are first drawn together by music, which was just about the only thing I really enjoyed about the drama along with its presentation/camera work.

Jung Hae In once again in the same role that limits any acting capabilities able to be shown. The same old serious, smiling, love chasing dude with no other emotions.

Chae Soo Bin in a slightly different artsier role, but once again, limited by the role she's in.

Then they try to make the drama all mystical like, with multiple flash backs, they strip it of all technical aspects involved due to the genre choice and it messes with the whole plot.

I assume it was trying to achieve something similar to "Her" but the connection just wasn't there. Like why do I care when a A.I suddenly is able to express their thoughts and emotions when I know nothing about anyone involved? They shroud everything in mystery without even giving me a taste of wanting to know more. I'm not given any reason to care.

We'll see how it goes, but based on what I've seen so far, my interest is dwindling.

ok, vamos la, acabei de assistir esse dorama e parece que ele fez um BURACO NO MEU CORAÇÃO, eu to mt triste.
se você for assistir esse dorama, você precisa saber de algo: TENHA PACIÊNCIA!
nos primeiros episódios eu não tava entendendo nada, estavam dando várias informações mas nada de explicar, porém, isso não foi motivo pra eu querer dropar o dorama, eu só queria entender o que tava acontecendo, então a cada ep tudo foi ficando mais interessante e a história foi se construindo de uma maneira >MUITO< linda.
eu amei a forma como os personagens lidaram com as situações, algumas horas eu queria bater em alguém mas isso a gente releva!
esse drama trouxe tantos ensinamentos e o mais importante deles foi sobre amor, acho que super vale a pena assistir, lembrando sempre que o dorama eh lento e as coisas acontecem de uma maneira devagar. também eh importante ter a mente bem aberta pra entender a maneira como funciona o dispositivo!
obs: me apeguei aos personagens e agora quero cuidar deles, como vou viver sem eles vei???
obs 2: ost perfeita, as musicas casaram super com todas as partes, nota mil

eh isso, diretor/roteirista vc matou minha filha, ela esta morta no chão da cozinha

First, i'm watching it solely because of Jung Hae In.

But let me tell you, despite all the low rating and bashing about how boring this drama could be, I found this story is very heartwarming. Yes it is slow but i love it the way it is because it describes all the emotions so well, slow but steady.
Both the main leads have a good chemistry and convey their emotions very well, and all the supporting characters adding this story a beautiful garnish.
The OST is really compatible with each scene and makes us drawn into it more.

Fall in love with Jung Hae In all over again with his presence :) I just love him they way he is, calm and quiet. This role really suits his personality too.

If you are looking for a drama to make your heart warms, and or take a break from all the serious and fast-paced drama, then this is the one for you.

Even though I only watched four episodes, I can confirm that it was enough to fall in love. The
first thing catch my attention is cinematography, The tones are soft, warm & welcoming. The second thing is plot, At start it was little confusing but it reveal itself slowly and gives you a feeling of curiosity. Coming to actors Jung Hae In's acting is so moving, he has the ability to make you see his feeling that you cannot help but fall for his character. Chae soo bin portraying her character beautifully. sound track is melancholy and overwhelming. This drama gives a feeling of warmness.
Cannot Wait to see new episodes ?♥️
It's definitely worth a watch...!!

TRUST ME DON'T DROP IT

When I first heard of this drama I was so excited because the ML are my favourite actors. I watch the first 2 episodes I also but to neck myself questioning why the narrative was so crap and confusing for these amazing actors. But I had to go on because their my fav actors. I read reviews to convince myself because many times I kept doubting why is this so shit such a shame... I disagree with other reviews saying they were saying how "people don't appreciate the slow narrative & cinematics" because excuse you I certainly do but I still wanted to neck myself.

I think personally it was just the ordering of the narrative if they started at a different point and moved it around they would have more viewers for sure!!! I do agree when people say "it's a filler" but I mean the filler was 2 eps too long they should have placed this as a flashback or something but not get rid of it so people can understand the cinematics and appreciation towards it section because it's a new style.

BUT DON'T drop it this drama is a work of art the music and aesthetics are AMAZING as you continue to watch the storyline of the characters and their behaviours become understandable and less creepy. This drama has approached a new style its like a romantic puzzle. I think with dramas it's important to make the first episode at a bit exciting tell a bit more of the narrative but it just wasn't for this drama you are given no context. That's why ratings didn't go well. But I'm IN LOVE guys so far :) it's definitely worth giving it a chance answers will come if ur confused!

A Piece of Your Mind has A Piece of My Heart

I just finished another rewatch and thought to leave a very short review for this gem.

I love this drama so much.

While watching it gives me a very warm feeling. The relationship of Ha Won and Seo Woo is what I imagine an ideal relationship is like. A relationship of mutual longing, respect and reciprocation.

Some might call it slow, but for me that is how it's meant to be, a story driven by characters rather than plot. The atmospheric directing and very good music alongside that help to elevate my watching experience.

Too bad the 4 episodes were cut and always left us wondering of what could have been. But that was what it was, and as it is, the drama is perfect for me.

Mixed thoughts

"A Piece of Your Mind" is a serene, composed, and emotionally charged drama. Initially, I struggled to grasp the storyline, but out of admiration for the leads, I persevered. As the plot unraveled, it revealed the bond between two childhood friends who grew up together in Norway, sharing their entire journey from childhood to adulthood. Despite their mutual love, a rift caused the boy to leave Norway. In his absence, a new person entered the girl's life, becoming her boyfriend. When they reunited, the boy became possessive, leading to their ( childhood friends) separation. The boy, an AI engineer, created a device capable of storing and replicating voices, aiming to provide solace to those who have lost loved ones. His motive was to preserve his girlfriend's voice and memories, allowing him to communicate with her. He enlisted the help of the female lead to record his girlfriend's voice and experiences, similar to Siri. However, I found it perplexing why his girlfriend didn't confide in the female lead about her predicament. She went to Norway alone for piece of her mind and she stuck in a snow .Despite having the opportunity to seek help from the Norwegian police, she chose not to, ultimately leading to her demise while conversing with the female lead. This aspect of the storyline was difficult to comprehend. Nonetheless, the drama excelled in other aspects, with minimal romance but a captivating plot overall.

O melhor romance sim!

Olha, esse dorama foi uma das melhores coisas que eu poderia assistir, pensei que poderia ser só um dorama qualquer de romance, mas não, ele me encantou de várias formas possíveis, na delicadeza que trouxe, na mensagem e até a forma com os dois protagonistas começaram a se gostar. E acho que A Piece Of Your Mind soube muito bem como encantar as pessoas, principalmente com a personagem Ji Soo, assim como os personagens, eu me apaixonei por ela, pela serenidade que ela transmitia, a paz, mesmo com a dificuldade que passou nos últimos momentos de sua vida, mesmo ela tendo morrido, a Ji Soo foi a principal pessoa que ajudou os dois protagonistas a superarem seus traumas, foi definitivamente uma personagem fantástica. Fico triste em ver como A Piece Of Your Mind não recebeu a atenção que merecia, é um dorama fofo, lentinho e super aconchegante, as músicas ajudam demais nessa ambientação aconchegante, eu acho que não erraram em nenhuma escolha de música, todas são ótimas e foram uma das osts mais marcantes, as atuações foram perfeitas e os atores trouxeram uma delicadeza inexplicável ao interpretarem.
Algumas pessoas reclamaram que só teve um beijo entre eles, mas pra mim foi mais do que o suficiente, o casal teve química e foram um dos mais lindos que eu poderia ver, só pq não teve pegação que todos queriam não significa que não é romance, eles foram um casal fofo demais que se apoiaram o tempo todo, que demonstrou como nós somos capazes de ajudar as pessoas de uma forma grandiosa. Ele foi maravilhoso, e não canso de dizer que foi lindo, pq é a melhor palavra que eu poderia encontrar pra descrever esse dorama, e ainda assim, não descreve totalmente os sentimentos que ele transmitiu, a preciosidade que foi, foi uma experiência espetacular e inexplicável! E não acho que vou superar essa obra de arte tão cedo, vi no lançamento e cá estou eu de novo, ele ainda é o melhor romance que eu assisti, creio que vai ser por um bom tempo
