Happy Ending Outside the Fence (2022)

So bad I wanted to cancel my internet

This shit makes me cry with rage.
Serious.
I dropped this shit cuz it was SO fucking bad.

First of all: this writer is ANNOYING AS HELL. Really, I just DON'T CARE.

Let's be honest, WHY did he leave the label??? they just shove "three years ago" up our ass and don't explain anything. FOR WHAT ??? ok, he's upset about being boycotted from the company, but FUCK U, what's the point of looking like cry baby all the time? he didn't even try it himself.

His writer friend ( I honestly can't tell if they're dating or what) this guy is just sick, he's obsessed and one moment is "I'll support you in whatever you choose" and the next "just trust me and do not write soon again" ???? Seriously, they could both go to HELL.

And that editor?
My god he annoys me so much, seriously, I just wanted to rip that stupid smile out of his stupid face. LEAVE THE BOY ALONE. "ah but i was happy with his writing" FUCK U NOBODY ASKED!!!

I quit at the end of episode five cuz i really couldn't take that "do you like me?" coming out of nowhere, seriously, that was more ridiculous than my entire life.

I can't even believe that someone supported the idea of ​​such a ridiculous drama like this. I hope these directors and writers never produce anything I end up watching again. I just lost three days of my life and thirty years of my sanity watching this shit.

BURN IN HELL!!!

P.S: this shit only got half a star cuz i can't give zero

Mess outside the fence

Jung Woo who is the center of the story that's just thrust into the story with nothing to show who he is as a person. We never see the conviction he had that caused him to be exiled from the writing world. We only see the vitriol against him. We never saw any romance of Jung Woo and Jung Hyun as a couple from any point present or flashback of the three years they were together. The drama kickstarts with a fade to black almost kiss, TWO episodes in a row between them, which is such an awful decision on top of awful decisions because they should not have cast an actor to play a gay role with a kiss scene if they were against doing so. They should have hired someone that was professionally on board to play this role in the first place. We never see much of Jung Woo's personality outside of just being miserable until mid way in the series when he finally meets Tae Yong.

I like Tae Yong's enthusiasm and positive energy that he has especially for Jung Woo, but when I he said "I like you", there was zero romance energy to the point it looked so ambiguously platonic up until they do a dumb third almost kiss scene where they move in such slow motion, they are clearly waiting for someone to knock and interrupt them. This is more than half way through the series and it looks like that none of the actors were going to do a kiss scene until Tae Yong and Jung Woo finally make contact and they have a few more kisses including where they actually have a bed scene, going from -100 to 1000 in intimacy between the two. It's so jarring, it made me laugh lol. Kudos at the very least to these two actors for actually being professional. Aside from the physical parts, the two characters don't really act very in love in all the other scenes.

I enjoyed Yeong Seon's character, she has the guts to take the gamble and say what's on her mind. And I do appreciate the attempt to make a complicated antagonist that actually meant well but his one sided actions that disregarded the agency of the one he loves brought so much pain to the person he meant to protect and himself. Jung Woo chose to sign with Tae Yong, so that's nice he freely makes this decision for himself, but then the show just skips over the consequences and aftermath of his decision even though there was a whole big deal made about it. Just a time skip to sometime in the future when it's all good and all three of them work together. For a show about good writing, they never showed an example of it in world from the characters or much of it in real life with this show itself. What a mess.

Okay For A Rainy Day!

It's Just Okay....

One Happy, Positive Person Who Lights Up The Sky With His Smile
One Dark, Brooking, Selfish Guy Who Darkens the Sky and Everyone Around Him
One Shy, Naive, Crybaby Who Needs Someone to Look After Him

A plot that is subpar; music that is just ok
A romance that feels rushed - with no heat

It's not a hot mess like some 2022 bl's though, I guess that's something, but I prefer bl's with more going on, like suspense or action or yelling & jealousy or something that moves the story along at a fast pace.

It works, sort of. But it is lacking something, maybe some humor or action or real emotion, I don't really know.
I'm not sorry I watched it, but I couldn't sit through it again

THIS DESERVES A LOT MORE LOVE

Hmm i was just really frustrated with the comments and reviews of the other people here. Like if you don't like or get something, just drop it. There's no need to leave negative reviews. We all have series we drop or don't get or make us feel frustrated, but not necessarily share the negative thoughts. We just drop and move on.

So it's my second time re-watching this one, and i have to say it is totally a 10. Of course there is room for improvement, but still the last result is on top. The story is not for everyone one. Those who have been in at least 1 toxic relationship know how it is ,what it means to be in the endless darkness, and not being able to move on from it. But even if you haven't, you know at least one person who has, so the characters are really well written. The toxic relationship between the mains is something that happens in almost 55% of the people nowadays.*I wish when i was going through those times, i had someone like HTYto put me back on my feet. *

AS FOR THE CHEMISTRY I DON'T F@@KING UNDERSTEAND WHAT YOU ALL WANT.
They have such amazing chemistry together that they make your heart flutter. I don't know there are a lot of stupid dramas, not only BL that have no chemistry at all and you all leaving positive comments for no reason. As for the kiss i loved it even tho it wasn't a 'Real Kiss' like the ones y'all want as in Kissable lips or idk, BUT IT WAS FUCKING NICE, the mood before the kiss and atmosphere and the way everything led there. Not to mention the last episode that the setting was so friggin awsome and cute. All three of them did a wonderful job portraying the character given. I couldn't ask for more

And i really don't understand those saying oh there wasn't love triangle here or idk things like that. The point of this series is HEALING. WITH THE HELP OF SOMEONE WHO TRULY CHERISHES YOU, YOU CAN MOVE FROM THAT TOXIC RELATIONSHIP AND MAKE YOURSELF A BETTER YOU AND ALSO GIVE THE OTHER PERSON PEACE OF MIND.
The ending was also clear EVERYONE MOVED ON FROM THE TOXICITY AND MADE PEACE DOING WHAT MADE THEM HAPPY.

AGH, I'm so frustrated with all the negativity in the comments. I feel really bad for the actors who made such an amazing job not getting the love they deserve. I wish i could just delete them all.

?‍?
My first and last time I left a review, and also, THIS WAS MY LAST TIME GOING NEAR THE COMMENTS .

I HOPE MY OPPAS WILL DO MORE AMAZING THINGS IN THE FUTURE, WITH MORE LOVE AND PASSION!

прекрасно сыгранная история

Да, это та самая Корея с ее невероятной подачей Чувств, эмоций и жизни. Это именно то, что Корея делает исключительно лучше всех. Забываешь о жанре, а особенно о теме и смотришь момент передачи чувств, что чувствуешь каждый ритм пульса, сердца, дыхание, тепло и нежность рук... Сколько раз я пересмотрела заключительную серию, а особенно ее начало - я не знаю. Невероятная подача всех характеров героев и каждый отдельный персонаж - это как зеркало каждого из нас. Лео. Играл прекрасного абьюза, которого до последней серии ненавидишь и просишь об одном: остановись. тебе уже миллион раз сказали, что ты одержим. Больная любовь - это не любовь. (Игра Лео напомнила и абьюза из жизни, и свою созависимость. Спасибо. Прочувствовала все.) Ну про Карама тут без слов. Ост в его исполнении и вообще музыка, как всегда отличное комбо в сюжете Кореи. Не фон, а именно слияние всего вместе. Чон У - солнышко данной дорамы. Он мне очень сильно напоминает Им Сон Гюна. которого тоже очень люблю. Чон У играл потрясающе для дебюта. Этот солнечный лучик, который делился и дарил улыбку все время.
Химия, взаимодействие отличные, актерский состав сильный и идеально предает эмоции, сюжет продуман и интересен. Рекомендую однозначно.

Happy Ending Romance... but where was the romance?

I honestly don't know where to start. The (very slightly) above average rating is mostly due to the acting and general K-drama feel of the show. That being said...

1. None of the characters had any chemistry whatsoever. I didn't believe that Jungwoo had feelings for either of them but at least he and Taeyoung actually had kiss scenes (if you could even call them that, it was more like they were kissing a wall)
2. The storyline had potential, but was ruined by the omittance of major plot points
3. There was really no need for there to be a different conflict every episode. It was so hard to follow

Personally, this would have been better as a bromance/friendship drama. The 'romance' didn't necessarily take away from it, but it also didn't add anything. At least it did have a happy ending and, of course, stellar OSTs (thanks to Leo and Karam)

Dúvidas demais pra uma série só

Pra mim esse drama foi problemático, pelo "excesso de falta" de explicações para coisas nas quais não vejo sentido algum, talvez por não ser ema expert no mundo dos bastidores literários, mas vamos lá.
Primeiro, eu gostei da série, que isso fique claro! Gostei da atuação, gostei do casal, achei que ele tinham química - e olhe que quando vi o escritor Cha com cara de paisagem o tempo todo eu duvidei disso-, amei a ost, a filmografia, os detalhes técnicos como continuidade , sonoplastia, filmografia, todos estavam muito bem feitos. A série (padrão coreano) é curta em quantidade e tamanho de eps, então eu acho que o drama foi bem aproveitado no sentido de não focar em histórias secundárias que tomariam o tempo de tela dos protagonistas, mas aí temos um problema: Kim Jung Hyun. Ele também é um protagonista, mas toda a sua história fica apenas na superfície, tudo é muito obscuro e a história deles deixa muitas lacunas.
O plot é inovador, ok, mas vamos para as problemáticas:
Logo no início, somos apresentados a Han Tae Young, um jovem que trabalha em uma editora e recebe a missão de descartar o brilhante escritor Cha Jung Woo, pois ele cometeu um erro grave de entrar em um embate contra um homem poderoso. Quem é esse homem poderoso que nunca aparece, só é citado? Pq diabos esse homem teria tanto poder a ponto de impedir todas as editoras de um país a trabalharem com um escritor? E pq todas as editoras cederam a ele, ninguém tem ética nem moral nessa história? Na lógica deles, como iriam impedir as pessoas de lerem, se até mesmo publicado on line as pessoas leriam? Bem, não faz sentido pra mim...
Outro ponto, é a relação de ChaJung Woo e Kim Jung Hyun. É muito pouca a informação... no começo, quando Cha se sentiu abandonado, mostra eles se beijando e Kim Jung Hyun jurando amor e cuidado, mas não temos informações sobre passado e presente sobre esse relacionamento, eles já mantinham um relacionamento amoroso? aquele beijo foi apenas fruto da emoção do momento e do sentimento que ambos, ou apenas um sentia e colocou pra fora naquele instante? A história mostra um salto temporal, mas após esse salto, não foca claro a dinâmica da relação entre eles. São amantes? São apenas amigos que tem um acordo, mesmo com Kim Jung Hyun parecendo ser apaixonado (pq o escritor Cha nunca demonstrou sentimentos de amor por ele)? Eram realmente amantes mas romperam em algum momento que não foi mostrado? tudo muito obscuro...
Que relação existiu no passado entre a editora freelancer e Kim Jung Hyun? eles falam sobre isso no presente, mas nada é mostrado no passado...o mesmo acontece com o tal professor...
Enfim, lacunas demais, que poderiam ser resolvidas apenas dando explicações simples, sem adentrar nos assuntos, e deixariam a história bem mais lógica. Enfim, gostei da série, mas não posso negar os erros. Com certeza recomendo, e talvez até assista de novo, mas acho que o roteiro deveria ter sido muito aperfeiçoado antes da série ir ao ar.

So insanely dull

This is the only BL I've watched where I had to fast forward through massive chunks just to get through it. It's so so soooo boring - the plot is really dull and takes ages to go anywhere, there's no chemistry between the leads, and I have no idea why it's rated 15 as there's only two or three very bad, passionless kisses (if you consider putting your lips on someone else's and not moving them at all as kissing) and one scene where they're in bed together and literally nothing happens. I mean LITERALLY nothing - they just look at each other with their shoulders exposed. The acting isn't bad exactly but it's so low key that you're in very real danger of slipping into a coma while watching it. Ha Jong Woo is the only good thing in it - he has beautiful lips. That's it. Don't waste your time.

Ain’t that happy and ain’t romantic at all

I get the way that they’re trying to show us some artistic vibes through literature, but obviously, they failed to give us a better execution of the concept. This is too average to become a hit and I don’t follow the angst as it was messy from the very beginning.

Kim Jung Hyun is an annoying character who has an annoying attitude. Han Tae Young’s positive vibes somehow lighten up the mood but still not enough to save the entire show. The conflict presented in the story was not properly concluded in good shape. They just became co-workers in one company, sunset viewing on the rooftop while holding mugs. Ain’t a happy ending at all.

Yet, despite the huge amount of flaws and criticism, the show itself is not as bad and just plainly an average one. I don’t have any high hopes since the start but I’m hoping for at least having a nice conclusion towards the life of the main characters and not just by simply having them romanticize the present.

If you love somebody, set them free

This drama is about what kind of love and life do you want? Which is kind of a deep theme for the lenght of this drama. It seems they bit off s bit more than they could chew, but they try there hardest to make due with nwhat they have and in thet resoect, they did quite well.

The main characters are a love triangle, one current relationship and one (possible) future romance. The current boyfriend is a protective and somewhat cold man, who schemes and plots to keep the status quo, under the pretence of protecting his lover. He never asks him though as if he thinks his boyfriend is a child or stupid. Only at the last second does he come to realize he should be helping instesd of controlling. The new love is 100% support and positivity.. This boy adores him so much he cant stop staring. He builds him up and makes him face the world without force, but while completely having his back.

Other characters play their part around those three, and they are all complex characters, that do not get the screentime they deserve at all. I needed some more back story and more explanation. What exactly happened that waqs so bad that got this writer completely cancelled? How did that book get printed from first just being on a laptop and why is writer Cha ok with that? Who lives where? Whats going on? I could have done with 4 more episodes and make it a nice 12 eps one. But this is a SKBL, and that just hardly ever happens. Too bad. So sad.

So REALISTIC and beautiful

I have not written a review in a long time because there wasn't really a series i desperately, I mean so desparately want to tell to people but here i got one. Happy ending romance. This is the most realistic (along with some other but you understand what I mean) series i have ever watched. It was not at all lovey-dovey, all enthusiasm, happy characters,nope. It had all the seriousness when it comes to working in industry though it be a literature industry. There were so many factors and sides were shown of Industry ; good and bad. So many sides of people were shown. So many sides of self was shown. The acting was all fine n good, not at all overly done. There were many characters and all did there roles profoundly, whether it be a small role or bad role. It had happy and sweet scenes which does not seemed forced. All in place.so good it was. So real it was . Well portrayed. I loved all the characters. Ahhhh this was so good. A new try and good try of Korean BLS.
