Melodia de Esperança (2020)

romcom gone bad

To be perfectly honest, I loved this drama in the beginning. I would get so excited for each episode to air every week because I liked where it was going. It was cute and fluffy and extremely lighthearted. The problem came when the writer's seemed to think that they needed multiple subplots and extra drama for no reason in the latter part of the drama. The stalker plot was quite unnecessary as they did not go very far with it but my main concern is the ending.
Why in anyone's sane mind would you think it's okay to pretend to be dead for five years? And just return like nothing happened? I'm so sorry to say but if I was in Rara's position, I would have completely lost it when Jun showed up and not in a good way.

The writers were struggling with the story in the last few episodes, everything was on a steady decline from episode 14. I hate being left with questions at the end of a drama and that's exactly what I was left with from this. There was no proper explanation for Jun's "death" and reappearance.

On another note, the romance was beautiful, Jun was such a sweet boy. I loved all of their moments together, that was until the writers completely jacked up the plot. I will say the drama was very lighthearted and sweet, a very cute romance that I don't regret watching, I'm just very displeased with the way the writer's tied up the drama. The actors did a great job with this and the music was beautiful! OSTs and the piano playing as well! I loved Rara, Go Ara portrayed her so well and Lee Jae Wook was amazing as well. I'm excited to see more of his work!

All in all, this drama would have been a hit if the writers did not lose their way with the plot.

Começo incrível final desastroso

O plot de Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol a princípio não chamou muito a minha atenção, mas o elenco desse drama contém diversos atores que eu gosto muito e por isso decidi dar uma chance. Os primeiros episódios foram muito bons e eu estava amando a atmosfera fofa e engraçada da história.

A Rara é uma personagem extremamente cativante e otimista e eu amava ver as loucuras dela e as interações que ela tinha com o Jun.

Eu estava amando o casal Jun e Rara, mas achei o plot dele ainda estar no ensino médio, um pouco sem sentido, mas até então a história continuava muito boa.

No entanto após o episódio 10 a história começou a ficar cada vez mais enrolada, parecia que a autora não tinha mais o que colocar no roteiro e por isso resolveu encher o drama com plots desnecessários e clichês, o que é uma pena, pois eu adoraria ver um pouco mais do desenvolvimento dos personagens, invés de tramas chatas e repetitivas que se repetem em todos os doramas.

(SPOILER DOS DOIS ÚLTIMOS EPISÓDIOS)

Agora o que estragou de vez o roteiro para mim, foram esses últimos episódios. A autora de repente decidiu colocar que o Jun iria ter leucemia, e essa situação foi tão jogada e sem sentido e invés dele desenvolver melhor os personagens no último episódio do dorama ela resolveu ´´matar`` o personagem principal e deixar todos os outros personagens de luto. Mas até aí tudo bem, o pior foi ela colocar o Jun para reaparecer 5 anos depois, e o pior, ele aparece para a Rara como se nada tivesse acontecido, mas já tinham se passado 5 ANOS, e ela achava que ele estava MORTO. Sem contar que quando ela estava chorando ele ainda fica rindo da cara dela, como se tivesse tudo bem uma pessoa desaparecer por 5 anos, falar que morreu e depois aparecer na porta da sua casa como se nada tivesse acontecido.

O pior é que ele ainda dá a desculpa de que não queria ver ela sofrer kkkkk, é rir para não chorar. Sério eu fiquei com tanto ódio dele nessa cena, sem contar que o Senhor Kim morreu e nem viu o Jun uma última vez.

Achei esse final péssimo e a única coisa que salvou esse final, foi o casal secundário, que além de serem muito fofos, tiveram um final satisfatório.

Wow, this drama took a toll on me.
I have finished "Do do sol sol a la sol" exactly 2 minutes ago, my emotions are all over the place, and my impulsivity is taking over me so, I hope you forgive my shortcomings.
This drama had, from the start, a joyful, funny, fuzzy kind of vibe that had everything to go right. The actors did an amazing job, the characters had a very well defined personality that accompanied them throughout the drama, well, that was before Jun got sick because we definitely needed some "Autumn in my heart" vibes here. We all know that cancer is always the perfect cause of death in dramaland (I´m being ironic, cancer is a serious illness and I don´t mean to disrespect anyone with my words). If we ignore the terminal illness part, this drama is almost perfect.
The piano element was very well balanced here and it got me motivated to force my parents to buy me a piano as well. The locations where the drama was set were so beautiful. The neighborhood environment got me feeling nostalgic. The relationship between the leads couldn´t have been more heartwarming. And here I am, crying again, smudging what's left of my mascara.
To conclude, yes, we had a happy ending, but it felt somewhat open. I didn´t have the closure I expected to have, and that 20 plus minutes in which I really thought Jun was dead didn't help much.
Overall, "Do do sol sol la la sol" is a heart-warming drama that will make you reminisce about your loved ones in the best possible way.

P.S. Just don´t forget the tissues in the last episode.

Promising story, horrible conclusion - UGH

DDSSLLS was solidly enjoyable in the beginning. Ra Ra was a bit of an airhead compared to my usual tastes in FMCs, but she was innocent and wasn't malicious at all. Her struggles were cliched, but believable - a fallen heiress having to adjust to life without. But who picked Ra Ra's wardrobe? It was okay *sometimes*, but most of the time, it was AWFUL. I know that name-brand expensive clothing can be pretty ridiculous, but this is crazy. Just WHY? *shakes head*

ANYways, the side characters were also entertaining. I generally liked all of the side characters and their stories, but my favorite was Jun.

Jun was precious and a classic tsundere and I loved him 100%. My fierce adoration for him is why I'm pretty upset with how his story turned out. I was surprised by the initial plot twist in (I think) episode 6, but recovered quickly because the plot twist didn't destroy who he was. But once Jun's big secret was revealed, I wasn't a fan of how they wrote his story around his tiger mom. And THEN they wrote his "tragedy" into the finale and I just couldn't stomach all the flaws in their story writing anymore. How is it possible that this is the same screenwriter from Shopping King Louie?! (Though, not to go off onto a complete tangent, but Terius Behind Me flopped too sooooo. >.< )

I'm not sure why the writers felt the need to go in the direction they did in the last 6 or so episodes, but it didn't make me happy or satisfy me at all. Just because they "overcome" tragedy doesn't mean that their story all of a sudden becomes more endearing (this could apply to more than 1 character/set of characters). *sigh* And then the time jump in the end before the "epilogue" was such a cop out (so many products in entertainment do this and ugh it's annoying). *roll eyes* Write a strong ending/conclusion instead of a forced "happily-ever-after" after destroying the story with garbage tragedy and plot inconsistencies and fallacies.

I wouldn't recommend this drama. The beginning seems like it'll be a fluffy, sweet, drama, but it's really not worth it, even if the majority of the drama is light and fun. The conclusion to this drama really brought down this story.

Starts well, ends in a wreck (writing wreck)

I'm giving a 7 star because the bastard made everyone think he died for 5 years straight. What was the reason?! I'll never understand it and I'm a bit disappointed scriptwriters resorted to a miscommunication trope where the ML doesn't explain anything and breaks up with FL because of an illness. Up until the tropefest from ep 12 and on, the drama was enjoyable.
The earlier scenes and interactions between FL and ML and very sweet and I loved watching them support and trust each other. Initially, I thought I was going to finish watching feeling refreshed from a nice watch without frustrations and with a nice memory of this drama. Unfortunately, I finished feeling wistful for the first part of the drama when the drama wasn't a tropefest and trying to be like every other drama.

It took me awhile to watch this cause of the "REVIEWS" saying it was not good...i've read so i was hesitant

Luckily 1 of my Drama-Guru told me that its worth the watch so i give it a try... in deed its really worth it...

The Story is about Parent's Love, Sacrifices & Friendship... Also, how a positive attitude can bring good vibes to the people around U... The FL really did a good job on her character... bubble & positive person & the ML who is in love with the FL & will do everything for her...

The OST is also good... Just prepare towel or box of Tissue on the last 2 episodes...

Bruh Why

When I started this series it was soo good everything was cute and interesting then in the middle of the series everything gets confusing and weird like there's so many parts in the series that could've been left out and to have Jun die for like 5 years just to have him come walking in Lala Land like nothing ruined it all,I srsly ugly cried when Jun does for like 20 min just to find out he was alive, I have no idea what the writers were doing but they were just going overboard with things at the end

In reality it was the writing of the ending episodes that really sucked but everything else in this series was really good like the acting, actors, music and the story at the beginning

If I'm going to be honest I don't hate this show I really enjoyed it except the end so I would lowkey watch it again but maybe just the first half but idk I usually don't rewatch things overrall this gets a 7/10

Do do Sol sol La La Sol .....Soup For the Soul

This drama has one of the most enigmatic title that I have ever come across. "Do do Sol Sol La La Sol"....... I danced around this title for a while, not sure if I should or should not attempt it. I finally went for it! Surprisingly, I did not fast forward and watched every single episode.

I found this drama a truly entertaining 16 episodes watch. It was appealing to me at all levels of romance, relationships, mature love, family, friendship which warms the heart. It reminded me of the book "Chicken Soup for The Soul" which consisted of inspirational true stories of ordinary people. The love story in Do Do Sol, is in it's own special way really inspirational and encouraging too.

Furthermore, everyone in the drama made it feel like each of the roles were specially written for them. No one else could have done a better job with special mention to Lee Jae Wook (lead role Joon Sunwoo) and Kim Joo Hun (Surgeon friend Eun Seok) who were so naturally impressive.

Enjoy the drama with no high expectations. This way, you will appreciate it a whole lot more.

Cheers! K-drama forever!

No no no do not watch this

Sorry this was adorable until the last two episodes. Do yourself a favor and don't invest your time because the ending was terrible.

Spoilers below



As for the ending, I think she died and that terrible contrived explanation of his being away was what she saw in her moment of death. That makes a hell of a lot more sense than his lying to all of them about his death for 5 years. I mean, they didn't even do the “I was in a coma and my mom was evil and wanted to be sure Ra Ra would move on so she lied about me dying.” trope. At least that would have been more believable.

First Loves and all that

I have loved Lee JaeWook ever since I watched him in WWW and Extraordinary you. So when I found out that he has a new drama, I was quick to jump into it. I loved it! The story is fluffy and sweet (while getting a bit dark at times). I must admit that the last few episodes felt a bit disconnected from the entire story especially with the whole leukemia scene. I just went no when that scene dropped. I don't mean like oh no, he got leukemia but more like oh no, I can't believe that the writers are pulling this stunt. It just seemed unfair to put the audience through that especially since they must have known how much the viewers were rooting for them. But overall, yes I would watch it again because I just can't get the first scene of them meeting out of my head - the way Jun just stares at Lala like they are in entirely different worlds.

Started out fine, charming characters and was entertaining, but turned into an absolute sh*t show

I have never written a review before, but the ending was so stupid that I had to warn someone.

The first 12 episodes are good, the rest are complete garbage. And there are still useless plot points that don't go anywhere in the first 12 episodes, but the characters are very enjoyable so you shrug it off. But it becomes intolerable after that.

Pointless drama. No communication. Added character out of nowhere with cliché plot. The DUMBEST ending of all time that is an absolute insult to viewer's intelligence. The writers need to lay off the crack. Nothing about what happened those last 2 episodes was excusable.
