Splash Splash LOVE (2015)

I have never been interested in this drama although I always see people recommending it. The reason for the sudden peak of interest is Yoon Doo Joon. I'm currently watching radio romance, which is another drama that he is in, and I was so intrigued by his character. He plays an actor there and he plays a historical drama. When I looked him up, I saw the poster for Splash Splash Love and then it all clicked.

I didn't have high expectations for this drama since it's only two episodes. I mean in my mind I was like, you can't inflict a lot of pain in a span of two episodes. And I was proven wrong by this series. It has managed to make me cry, swoon and I was actually sentimental about the characters. This is the drama that I really need since it filled a void in me that was left by Scarlet Heart and Love In the Moonlight. The plot was really amazing and I finally found the closure that I'm looking for in Scarlet Heart.The acting was spectacular. They have the certain chemistry and it's all cute and soft and my heart. I really want to see them more in other dramas.

This is definitely a drama that you should watch

I'm glad I discovered this well into my k-drama watching experience, so that I had enough knowledge in Korean history to not spend the vast majority of the drama going 'uh. Am I supposed to know him?' This was a sweet little story, though the web drama nature of it limits the development of the characters. I love Kim Seul-Gi in every role I've ever seen her play and this one is no exception. She plays a high school senior who is overwhelmed by her upcoming CSATs and yearns to escape. Yoon Doo-Joon plays the king of Joseon and is adorable. This is a time travel drama, where a modern girl is transported back to Joseon and high jinks ensue. The web drama, as mentioned, limits character development because episodes average about 15 minutes a pop. That said, the short episodes make this an easy to consume, pop-corn-esque drama. It was rewarding and I'd recommend it especially if you're looking for something quick.

I like to think of Splash Splash LOVE as a story of a girl who learns to appreciate math. I couldn’t stop smiling after finishing it, and it legitimately made me laugh. It sucked me in with its lovable characters despite an absurd premise. This show feels like a little dream, which is fitting for a tiny two episoder. It doesn’t totally make sense, and I doubt I understood all the jokes, but it’s charismatic throughout.

I’ve seen some reviews of this show that say they want more, but I was perfectly fine with the two episodes we got. Actually I think I’d have gotten frustrated if it was any longer. The characters were all caricatures and we’ve seen them all before, from the bumbling heroine to the strong silent second lead. Splash Splash LOVE is sweet and to the point, and that’s what keeps these elements from being overbearing. Though I guess I could watch 10 episodes worth of Kim Seul-gi and Yoon doo-joon being cute together.

This was a lovely drama special.

THE DRAMA
After days of long and intense dramas that have heart wrenching scenes that do not seem to end, watching something short, sweet and fluffy is exactly what I needed. I came upon this accidentally and I must say, this was the happiest accident I have ever been through.

There were a lot of smiles, laughs and almost-tears. Even though it is only a special, I was still hooked by the solid writing and the good casting and even better acting.

THE ACTORS
I am currently rewatching a Jin Ki-joo drama and when I saw her in this, I almost did not recognize her. However, her staple dimples and captivating gaze finally gave her away. It was fun watching Kim Seul-gi, Ahn Hyo-seop and Jin Ki-joo all in one drama (they are some of my favourite actors). This is the earliest works I have seen for all of them and I must say, they have either improved and/or continue to capture my attention with their skills.

Yoon Doo Joon was a nice surprise. [I think I am in love ( ♡•♡ ) ] Every time he coughed/cleared his throat, he reminded me of Kim Nam-gil as Heo Im in Live Up To Your Name （⌒▽⌒） [Another one of my favourites]. I will definitely be watching more of his previous works as I (im)patiently wait for his new dramas/movies to come.

FINAL NOTES
Everybody gave their all in this and the result is a heartwarming 2 hour 20 minute success of a story.

Agradável

Que drama mais fofinho, foi delicioso asssistir , é um mini drama porem consegue entregar tudo e muito mais ao contrários de varios dramas longos que vemos por ai. A história entre os protagonistas é adorável demais o romance deles é lindinho de se ver, eu realmente gostei de tudo neste drama.

Temos aqui um ótimo resultado de quando um drama dá certo, e esse aqui acertou em tudo, os personagens principais eram cativantes os secundarios desepenharam muito bem seus papeis também, achei que tudo foi bem estruturado e equilibrado, nada foi colocado com muito exagero, tudo na medida certa.

Em fim recomendo que você assista é um drama leve , divertido sem muitas complicações vale muito a pena o investimento do seu tempo.

For this only to be two episodes, it should've been just a movie! I enjoyed it this short drama. I have seen this before but a long time ago. I'm glad it refreshed my mind. Yoon Doo Joon is adorable! He was 25 when this drama was aired and Kim Seul Gi was 23... I'm sorry but KSG looks so young, I mean very young! What is in the water in South Korea, I want some! lol Yoon Doon Joon, the costume he was wearing made him look like he could be KSG's daddy. But in the end he looked his age. This was such a cute story. I like time travel. and WOW 20 kids! smh! I hope everyone will enjoy this short 2 episode drama as I did. Thanks to all the cast and the team of Splash Splash!

Kim Seulgi is always amazing, I absolutely love her.

But even if you're not a fan of her as I am, this drama is such a great mini-drama. I loved it because it was sweet and plain fun to watch. The humor was subtle, chemistry abound between the leads, lovely romance and good pace. It was a simple storyline, but it was brought to life by the actors in a way not every actor could manage. I'm almost sad it only had 2 episodes, but it felt right.


{SPOILER}
A bit of an icky ending though, because the reincarnation thing never really makes me happy. It feels like a cheap cop-out somehow. But it doesn't take away from a lovely drama!

Que drama mais amorzinho! Ele já passou na minha timeline várias vezes e eu nunca me importei em vê-lo, mas agora que vi eu queria que tivesse pelo menos uns 30 episódios. Esse foi meu segundo ''drama'' com o Yoon Doo Joon, e como eu já estou apaixonada nele em Radio Romance, agora em Splash Splash Love, eu quero casar com esse homem! Primeira vez que eu vejo um drama tão fofo, pensei que não ia gostar muito por causa daquele ''aegyo'' chato, mas é tão fofo que eu não me aguentei também e estou recomendando igual uma louca para todo mundo! Realmente gostaria de ver mais trabalhos com eles dois juntos, que nesse ano de 2018 venha! ?? 2018-03-11

Funny, hilarious… short drama

Just finished watching Moon Lovers: Scarlet Letter Ryeo… and had a terrible hanfover because of the ending…. And read somewhere good reviews about this one.

And loved it!
FL is naturally sparky, funny…. ML starts seriously but pretty soon moves on to be also hilarious and funny.

Makes you think about those times when knowledge was feared… it took courage to start and implement the changes that made us the society we are today… without those visionaries, we will still be kn the dark ages.

Even though there are only 2 episodes.. it was well done… did not feel rushed and evolved very naturally.

Most important… it has ghe right ending…
Actually this is how Moon Lovers should have ended.

It helped me get over the disappointment i had.

Do I recommend it? Yes
Will I watch it again? Yes… especially if I need a good laugh
