Deep Love Love Again (2024)

Unique story that could have been reworked into a great drama with more time and attention.

People are comparing this to 50 Shades, but they're not all that alike, at least in terms of plot. The reason why it reminds people of 50 Shades is because it's the same type of spice (overtones of S&M), similar color palate and styling (black/white/gray, expensive and spartan interiors, simple & classic styles for hair and wardrobe), and an extremely controlling ML.

But where 50 Shades' story focuses more on the relationship itself, and the growth of the characters, this story does not. Deep Love Love Again reminds me more of Secret or My Lethal Man, with pretty outrageous plotlines and characters. It seems like it might borrow some of it's inspiration from the classic story 'La Femme Nikita'.

It wasn't bad at all. The actors were exemplary and their chemistry was fire. But it just had too many shortcomings to rise above mediocre. For starters, the story was laid out in a disjointed way. It was meant to be mysterious and keep you guessing, but it missed the mark and turned out simply confusing. It was meant to reflect S&M tastes in spice, but the characters don't have enough depth and consistency to create a good S&M relationship. There are some loose ends that never get wrapped up. The dialogue is too sparse, vague, and devoid of emotional content.

These are technical issues that could have been remedied with enough time for the scriptwriters to go back over it and fix it, but all projects are on a budget and a schedule, and I'm sure they just ran out of time to polish the story. But the basic plotline is solid.... moreso than many dime-a-dozen short length dramas. And the aesthetic is different than what you usually see in a mini c-drama, which was refreshing. None of the problems with this drama had anything to do with the actors, who all gave excellent performances and were very well cast.

There was a decent level of spice, but even so, it should have been spicier. It was a decent one-time watch, and the plot deserves to be recycled into a longer drama by someone who can actually make it shine.

Humm... confuso pero steamy

Confieso que me parece una historia bastante confusa, en general; recién para el final supe más o menos lo que estaba pasando; pero no lo considero problema de los principales, sino un guion que necesitaba una revisión más. Se puede contar una buena historia en un minidrama, hay montones de ejemplos; los capítulos de 10' no son excusa para apresurar tramas o dejarlas como colgadas.
La pareja principal lo hace bastante bien, a pesar de lo confuso de la historia. Lástima que ella tiene casi todo el tiempo cara de que alguien le está apretando un dedo; hay escenas que no ameritan esa cara de sufrimiento, pero bué.... Él tiene mucha presencia escénica y mucho oficio y se le nota, es el único que logra naturalidad en todas sus escenas. Un detalle interesante: este protagonista es millonario y dominante y todo eso, pero no tiene idea de como pelear o defenderse, lo que es un cambio respecto de los protagonistas súperpoderosos.
Las escenas de la pareja onda "dom-sub" están bastante bien para ser un cdrama. Que hayan logrado hacerlas y que salgan al aire es todo un mérito que les reconozco. Otro drama donde la gente tiene relaciones adultas con todo lo que ello implica, donde la gente se desea y lo dice y actúa en consecuencia. Eso es interesante y hay que reconocérselo.
Por lo demás, lxs malxs son medio de madera, qué te voy a decir... no aprobaron actuación con 10, medio que rasparon el 4.
En resumen, un minidrama más steamy de lo habitual (más picante, digamos), con escenas de besos y etc bien logradas, que me gustaron. El resto, olvidable.
