DoDoSolSolLaLaSol (2020)

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.

Funny fluffy family romance drama w/a twisted plot near the end (the dying kind!)...

Highlights:

1. The casts & actings r top notch!
Main leads’ chemistry is good, the sidekick friends that became a couple r so loyal n hilarious, the women’s club r funny n entertaining, there were no real villains (just unbearable rich parents and a stalker who is also a murderer, though he is in only in the drama for a short time), no real 2nd lead (the doctor likes her, but she never sees him more than just a nice guy, plus he isn’t a bad person so not annoying)... every side character got their small part n all r executed nicely... the dog Mimi is so cute! Basically the people in Eunpo is one big happy family, luvin that small town people vibe...

2. The plot
It started off so good! The fluffy funny family drama with some romance n lots of type of relationships... I was hooked from the first episode, especially after Jun-aaa came into the picture... Anyone would want a Jun in their lives... just the way Jun has always been there for Rara is just so cute! All those part time jobs he had to do just so he can lend her money... I admit I was annoyed by Rara at first, she was such a spoiled brat who can’t do anything! She takes Jun for granted... But along the way u sees her best side, not that useless side, n I like her character gradually...

Things I’m not a fan of:
1. Also the plot, especially the twisted plot near the end of the drama
10eps in n I was kinda surprised by the lie that Jun told, he is a highschooler! I really didn’t expect that kind of twist, but that is still kinda acceptable, it explains Jun’s behavior a lot... not actually a fan of noona type of romance, but this one is ok coz the age gap doesn’t show that much visually...

after that, things kinda went up n down, all the unnecessary separations, the on and off again, “the I let u go for ur own good” kinda plot, done by both main leads... I thought this would be a light drama but suddenly the main lead is dying! I cried a lot the last 2eps... then the half of the last eps is just WHAT??? How can u not tell someone u luv that u actually hasn’t been dead for the last 5years! And IMO isn’t it weird for Rara to not ask where Jun was buried? If someone u luv dies, u’ll for sure wanna know where his resting place is n at least visit it one time right? Plus Jun is the son of the rich family, if he dies, his death would be a big news that’s not hard to look up online don’t u think?

2. Too much repeated flashbacks IMO...

Overall this is still an enjoyable drama up to the last eps when Jun supposedly dies n not reaching out to Rara for the whole 5years! I don’t know if I’d forgive him that easily... the so called “forging ur death so ur loved one could get over u quickly” plot never works out for me... especially when u suddenly come back and not even explaining urself well n just expect her to be ok with it just becoz u survive a deadly disease... I wish they give it a better ending... at least after that give them a nice wedding with the whole family... I’m still relieved it’s a happy ending though...

i'm so confused

So i loved the story up until ep.14, but then the writers decide to mess up a perfectly good love story, a happy ending in the making.
No. Instead they crush our souls and give him cancer, what the ...
But still, i had hope. I figured, noooo he's not gonna die, they wouldn't do that. But there it was. his grieving mom comes to give back her tea cup. Really???
At this point i' m bawling my eyes out, mad at the writers for this kind of ending.
Nearly ready to turn of the tv and end this series, there is a flashback to where Jun enters the room while Rara plays piano.
And I think 'Oh Great another flashback, rub salt in the wound'
But then apparently he wasn't dead? What?
As Bella would say "These mood swings are giving me a whiplash"
Loved it up to ep.14, it just crashed and burned from there

the story is worth watching just for the amazing visuals provided by Lee Jae Wook. Wink*

Do Do Sol Sol La La Sol is a romantic comedy, something u just sit back and watch in peace. It will lift up your mood kinda drama. You won't be seeing a strong female lead that goes around kicking butts kind, but a different type of strong female lead.
This drama is fun and easy to watch. At first, the female character can be annoying but Go Ah Ra did a wonderful job of portraying it so I can't end up but liking the naive and clueless Ra Ra. from the outside it looks like the girl is practically mooching off from the guy, but i kind of like how the guy just practically buy her things whether she ask them for or not. He buys her stuff just because he feels like buying them for her and it makes him happy.

the story is worth watching just for the amazing visuals provided by Lee Jae Wook. Wink*

Also, I should say "I have leukaemia" is an outdated cliche plotline. apart from the confusing ending( i was crying buckets), I think I'll probably be rewatching it. =).

Till Ep 14 its 10! ep 14-16 it's 0!

I am very angry with the ending, but before that i really wanted to write a good review to this :)
If you are looking to watch this or not i that it will help you to know that if you watched Shopping King Louis and liked it, you will like this too! If not, then you might not like this.
The main girl acts like a 5 year old. extremely stupid. The main lead is mature and nice and cute.
but the stupidity of the main girl slowly grew on me and it became hilarious and i loved it a lot. She was extremely positive despite all the hardships she had to face.
This drama was filling my world with hope and happy feelings xD you know when you watch this the world seems like a beautiful and kind place.
very cute, lovely, and bubbly, and funny. the whole place she moved into and the people there. it all seems very nice and kind, that makes you want to live there :)
if you don't like that, then you might hate this drama :) so i recommend watching the trailer. :)

What i liked:
-the main leads, and side characters
-the positivity to the point of stupidity
-the music and piano love
-the side doctor
-the ahjummas
-the kids
-the gangster xD

What i disliked:
-endingggg!!!!!!!!!!!!
-the writer who ruined this xD lol

I want to fight with the writer for ruining this!!!! T_T I was going to give this a full 10! but the last two eps made it fall even into 6! if it was like the last two eps i would have given it one. Like this type of Dots ending was already used a lot and too many times! It seems like the writer was using all cliches but always making them into something different, something funny, something cute, and unusual, and now suddenly at the last two eps someone told the writer they want this and the writer decided to do what they want and did it in an absolutely uninteresting extreme cliche way. :(
whyyyyyy :((( I loved this soo much if not for that ending :( thinking how much nice feelings and hope it gave me I will still give it at least 8.5. maybe 9? lol 8.5 seems too little for the 14 eps and 9 seems too much for the last two eps xD

anyway if you liked shopping king you will like this till ep 14 maybe :)
you might like this if you liked strong woman do bong soon too :)
but if you don't like stupidity or don't find it funny you might hate this a lot so i won't recommend it :)

-1.5 for the ending. The ending is absolute 0! no even worse it's -1999000 xD but everything before it was 10 for me :) so i think after some thought i will still include it in my favs.
and i never rewatch dramas so i just put random number in there.

BE WARNED ENDING WILL LEAVE YOU WISHING THEIR WAS MORE

I was really enjoying the drama the story was really good it really threw me off the fact that the MC was a high schooler so that was kinda eh and then towards the ending they tried to fit in as much drama as they could into the final episodes which were totally unnecessary especially the whole old friend comes back and is now a "rival" all of sudden (personally I skipped the entire episode because I just found that ridiculous. Also, the fact that they killed him off in the last episode and then revived him five years later (seriously though what is up with all these time skips). So essentially it was good and then they just had to rush everything and leave the audience unsatisfied with their makeshift ending.

Blatant emotion manipulation and redirection

This show does is its best to keep you guessing to make u look one way while the other hand does the work

At the end it plays both possible ending as truth instead of a dream scenario or flat out pick one.. which is where a lot of the anger and frustration comes from for this.

1 through 13 even 14 is great. Those last 2 were just mind games to manipulate the viewers. I thought it was oddly refreshing.

Cliche ending would have worked too and probably less contraversial but the writers did what they did... why? Who knows maybe to have the net go off on them maybe jusg cause they wanfed to just wqnted to satisfy bothnsides and endednup doing neither.

Good show. Be careful of ending
