Lovestruck in the City (2020)

The whole vibe of this drama was totally my style. I love modern settings with a working class cast so that initially drew me to it (as well as the big name actors lol).

The first 4 episodes were amazing, they were like kdrama bliss (for me) and then it got so boring and essentially became a drag, really.

Another thing that annoyed me was the whole story telling on live video vibe? I wish that was properly explained, it would have made much more sense.

Lastly, the most annoying thing about this show.. how the characters in the last episode felt so misplaced. Like what are they actually doing there? They contribute absolutely nothing to the story.

It's a nice watch but there's honestly no need to finish it, there's not much to see anyway. Unfortunately I did.

P.S; I really liked the secondary couple's relationship and their dynamic.

Not bad for one time watch.

When I first heard of this drama I thought, I was actually sure that I wouldn't like this drama. Because I didn't find Ji Chang Wook very appealing in romantic character. I had found the best version of Ji Chang Wook in Healer. The K2 was also good. Ji Chang Wook is meant for action role. But he always chooses the wrong character. Suspicious Partner, Melting Me Softly all was his bad choice. I never liked any of this drama. Backstreet Rookie was also the same.
So I was on fire when I heard he took another romantic character. I was determined I wouldn't watch this drama. I don't know why, but I started watching this drama. And surprisingly I liked this drama!!!
The story was simple. But story-tailing was awesome. I liked the way director told the story. And this is the only thing I liked about this drama.

Fresh format and Amazing Chinematography

I love this drama concept. its new and refreshing..this one more realistic than those too dreamy story of kdrama which is to common for me. I prefer this one. its kinda confusing at first with the format, but i get their flow now. its kind of a feeling when you hear your friend love story and make fun of it. lol
Highest apprecation for the chinematography, visual , acting, and ost BGM. This drama is really uncommon in a Good Way. The shoot was like a movie shoot not usual kdrama which is amazing. the ost keep on repeating in my head. I hope they released soon.
If you like light romance drama to relieved stress after works, this is the one you should try. try to understand the interview concept first then you will get the story line.

so far its okay..

I love Ji Chang Wook so I was excited to watch this drama but so far it is just okay. it seems interesting I really like the documentary style of the drama and the aesthetic it is very unique. the acting and cast are good and enjoyable too. It is kind of slow though and it doesn't feel like any progress is being made at the moment. I will say it is a mature drama that talks about sex and relationships so its most likely something 13 year old's won't enjoy. The ost is great and I did enjoy seeing Ji Chang Wook playing the guitar and singing it is nice so that is one good thing about the drama. if you are expecting some kind of cliché romance kdrama this is definitely not for you. I am going to keep watching to see how it goes although its not exactly something I'm into you might end up liking it so I say give it a go.

Fresh but slow ride

I know it's too early to judge anything but so far, everything is very slow and mellow. Every episode did not excite me and I found myself fast forwarding scenes. Talk too much about sex and that seemed to be the story for the whole ep2, which I personally did not enjoy.

It's mature love drama with fresh interview-like concept, the acting is undeniably good, aesthetic cinematography. If you are the patience, chill, romantic type of person, this will suit your taste. If you enjoy Encounter, Romance is a Bonus Book, Record of Youth, this is YOUR type of drama. Those who didn't better wait until the whole series is finished because this is slower than any drama I have mentioned.

I will keep watching until ep5 and will consider dropping if it didn't progress regardless Ji Chang Wook/Kim Ji Won which are amongst my fav.

Perfect Combination of Creativity, Romance, Direction and Story

I mean Wow!! The thought behind creating a series that is different from the usual Kdramas was a risk but totally worth it! The cinematography, the colors, introduction and moreover the interactive part with the audience is superb! I am certain this drama will be a success! All the characters look sharp and on point. Great director and actors! And of course it has the King of Kdramas, The Ji Chang Wook so one can expect great acting, seductive eyes, love and sincerity towards the work he does! Definitely recommend everyone to watch it if you want a break from the cliche Kdramas!!

Unique KDrama

Starting is quite interesting and very very unique concept for me, after watching many kdrama I found it is quite different concept and full of engaging scenes with superb cinematography. All actors doing great job. Omg kim ji won what a beauty can't blinck my eyes for sec & ji chang wook i can say that one of the great k actor. 1st EP is interesting fun watching with little Loofols. After watching 1st episode it looks like it has a great writing and what can you say about its director one of the best director of k directing. Usually kdramas have 16 EP but it has 12 EP with 30min each but its 30min equals to a full episode of other dramas due to it's superb direction with great screenplay. Looking forward to next EP I hope that has much more fun than the current ep. After writing this I can say that It's worth watching I can bet on that you can't regret after starting the drama. Don't miss............!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you.

Just loved it!

Just finished the last episode feeling very sad because I will miss them so much! It's funny that I started to watch this drama because I liked the trailer but the first episode was quite strange and a bit boring because of the Interviews format. But I really like the actors so I continue watching.
After episode 4 I was completely hooked... I don't normally follow Instagram, but I started following the "Lovestruck in the city" page for spoilers and news about the drama, like daily!!
The love story of the YangYang couple is quite beautiful, specially for romantic people like myself. And you find yourself always wishing they will meet again and feel angry and frustrated because they don't!
During all 15 episodes you feel a mix of emotions. You sympathize with the female lead but at the same time hate her!
You want the main couple to end up together, but then you don't !
I found myself thinking that Park Jae Won would eventually fall out of love with Lee Eun Oh and meet the real Yun Seon Ah by coincidence at the end of the show... :)
All 3 couples are so real, I think if you had a couple of relationships in your life you will relate with one of these for sure... Sometimes you love somebody but your goals in life are so different that eventually you end up following different paths, or break up because you were afraid to show your true feelings! The acting of all 6 actors is amazing! It's really feels like a documentary, not a drama... like they are really being their self's. On the last episode you could feel the happiness on Jae Won expressions, it felt so real! And the sadness on the other two couples...
Definitely this will be one of my favorites for a long time...
