Por Que as Mulheres Amam (2022)

It got boring for some reason

The couple took too long to get together, such that when they finally do, it doesn't cause the catarsis it should. And after that, the drama got a little boring since all the possible obstacles they could have are kinda resolved. And they brought an ex to shake things up but I hate this trope.

So basically this was so so good to watch at the beginning but because the writers chose, for some reason, to take long 20 eps to make the couple be together, they simply ruined the series.

But the ML is really good, I like that he is younger than her but also mature. He was silly but not imature or childish, and that's good. While FL was good as well but a little too slow to admit she felt smth for him. But they had chemistry and I liked them together. Liked that they were friends and acted natural with each other. There was no pretending or forcing to be smth they weren't. But, like I said, it felt like they took ages to be a couple, and when they do it all gets boring for some reason.

Easy Watch

LIKES:
Cinematography, production and lighting.
Motorcycle racing and riding shots. [I’m biased because I also ride a motorcycle.]
Wardrobe was great for the most part, especially for FL. Some of the ML jackets and clothes made me shake my head negatively, same with some of the supporting female actresses, but better than most.
No real FX, but they did make the motorcycle riding moments between ML & FL look much more real, compared to some dramas. Liked that they kept the FL as a competent business woman even after she fell in love.
Casting was well done and same with the acting. Good chemistry between all the couples.
Plot was well developed, with just the right amount of drama and angst, with decent character development.


DISLIKES:
Director: Some moments were way too drawn out and a few times the reactions ridiculously slow.
Production: I dislike when they zoom in so close that you can see actress/actor's pores, nose hairs, and makeup.
Acting: Yan Ran was irritating, her character was like an over reacting 10 yr old and she didn’t dress business appropriate. I know it's the director and writer's fault for making her this way, but they should've left her out of the drama. Better to make him a player; dating lots of women, it would suit his character more, with the same effect of making FL jealous.
Music was okay, but sometimes overpowered what the actor/actress was saying.
Writing: the friend in the coma ending moment was anti-climatic and lame. Perhaps due to having to rush the ending, to conclude everything in time? They could’ve just wrote that the ML was the one who had the accident, hence the impact it had on him mentally.

OVERALL:
This was an easy watch, even with some of the typical cliches and tropes. I did like the C-drama and would watch it again. I would also recommend it to anyone who likes this genre, it’s more of a romance drama than a rom-com.

Good Looking Cast, refreshing and light.

It took me a bit to get into this drama. I started it because I needed a high rated rom-com to watch with my sister while she was recovering from surgery. I thought it had pretty much all the cutesy c drama boxes checked.

I thought the main leads to be very attractive and fit their characters 100%. I'm not usually a fan of age gap, especially when the woman is older and the guy is younger, but to my surprise, this one didn't bother me. I think they just casted it right. I couldn't imagine any other ML than him. They had to get an idol looking figure to play that male role. I wasn't a huge fan of casting in My fated boy and I think that is what made the difference.

The drama is low on angst and doesn't have that typical misunderstanding troupe. It's basically about two people getting to know each other and respecting each other. It's very light and refreshing.

Like I said, it did take me some time to get into it. I did watch an episode here and there, it wasn't until mid-way I started to binge it. I think it was hard for me to get into the secondary characters and ML's childhood gal friend was SUPER annoying, but not villain annoying, just whinny. She was tolerable, but she was driving on my nerves.

Overall, it's an easy rom-com to watch if you want an age-gap troupe with really good looking cast and awesome fashion.

Nothing new really.

With the high rating I saw in MyDramalist, I went in with high expectations.
As expected this was all fluff and there's nothing wrong with that if you managed your expectations that way. The title begs to be answered and I think the story itself didn't give complete answers as to why women love.

The story showed that the FL loved because she wanted to. Her besties loved their man in their own way. For some reason, how it was rolled out in the story was meh for me. I wasn't caught up. Frankly, I could've stopped watching. But like any commitment I make, I see it through haha.

Pretty cute show

Absolutely love the female lead, ML was alright but he makes up for it with how hot he is (i am a straight guy so im not saying this lightly ) since this is a cute amd light show which didn't need much it make it good.
That being said, the first 15 episodes might have one of my top viewing experiences ever because of how fast paced eveything was and it felt like there was no filler. After that it slowed down a little bit but still a cute comedy.
Gonna rewatch this in a few months time, which is the highest recommendation i can give to non action cdramas as of late

What if sincere love, through thick and thin love, is really possible?

The key to selling love is, of course selling the couples, and the main couple here is a rare mix of fun, sexual tension/chemistry and equal partnership. The 'unicorn' for career women in their late 20s/early 30s. All couples have mismatched traditional criteria (age, money, family status), but each couple comes to the realization that character, compatibility and intention matter so much more.

Pacing was great, and only briefly wobbled in the last third. The show ended on a perfect note.

The acting was excellent when it came to the main couple interacting with each other, otherwise it was your typical overacting for this level of drama. The music stood out and I got attached to a couple of the songs which is rare for me. Some of the couple moments, and the ending will stick with me.

I grade on other criteria:

Complex Themes: 6/10
Keep yourself open to love's possibilities, it's rare to connect and feel an easy joy with a person who truly wants to see you succeed.

Character Development: 7.5/10
The characters do somewhat shift with the show, the most heartfelt transformation was the male lead who turned from quite the hardened cynic, into someone who wanted to believe and commit to love

Complex Women/Interactions between Women: 6/10
There are a lot of female characters, and female friendship front and center. While they mostly talk about men, they do also talk about career and work and ambitions. Most of the women are pegged to a 'type' the flashy influencer/blogger with a soft heart, the cute bubbly girl/woman, and the career woman who is a bit oblivious to the human dynamics around her.

Production Values/Cinematography: 7/10
They got top name designers, sets, cars etc. so that everyone felt wealthy (sometimes a downfall of this type of drama). Otherwise production values/cinematography was very very straightforward and the typical quality you would expect in this era.

Quello che mi aspettavo da questo drama effettivamente mi è stato dato: una bella storia d'amore, anche un po' troppo dolce ma era quello che cercavo. I momenti in cui ci sono i due protagonisti valgono tutta la visione del drama. La storia oltre a quella d'amore non mi ha particolarmente entusiasmato, anzi alcune parti le volevo proprio skippare ma i due personaggi principali insieme sono davvero bellissimi! Mi è piaciuto molto come è stato trattato il fatto che tra i due ci siano ben 8 anni di differenza: si vede che lui è un ragazzino mentre lei è adulta e questo spinge il protagonista a voler crescere e a voler dimostrare quanto tiene a lei. La seconda coppia non mi ha dato molte vibes positive, troppo dolce e troppo semplice. Per quanto riguarda gli antagonisti della storia, non mi sono dispiaciuti alla fine. Sono stati caratterizzati molto bene.
Ah. Non dimentichiamoci di Simona Wang che anche qui interpreta un personaggio finto come il mio comodino XD (io ho avuto il "piacere" di conoscerla con well intended love e da lì non l'ho più dimenticata!!) con una particolare situazione che non viene molto approfondita e mi ha fatto un po' storcere il naso questa cosa, ma per il resto il drama è ok.
Consigliato se vi piacciono le storie d'amore dove la protagonista femminile è più grande della controparte maschile :)
...e consigliato anche se vi piacciono i ragazzi che corrono in moto XD
