It's a hit and miss!

This show starts of pretty good and interesting however the plot line makes no sense by episode 4. It's rather unrealsitics in its portrayal of 'realism'. I think nextflix tanked ti show biig time by trying to maek it such a deviant from the normal kdrama love stories. The main couple is ok but honestly sometimes I wish they broke up and Ha-Kyung would go back to her ex as they had better chemistry on screen that her current boyfriend.
There are numerous things to overlook if you really want to watch this drama:
1. The overbearing mother and disrespectful daughter Ha-Hyung- Like I get her mother is too much but she hangs up and her mom so much and chooses to threa then not talking to her when she diasgrees with her mother. Like seriously she lost her dad and has no real appreciation for her mom unless she in the hospital. The dr in one episode says don't stress her out to help with her health and by the next episode she is back to being at odds with her mother. Like they is a better way to deal with your overbearing parents.
2. The wife of Dong han is aweful to say the least, after 14 years apart she has no love towards her husband and not even slightly grateful to have him back. all she does is insult his attempts at making amends for being away for so long anf hardly ever tells him how she really feels not that he is perfect but man does he try to do stuff to help since being back. Like I get that resentment was had but at no point does she try to understand his point of view. And goes as far as stopping her own daughter from seeing her father like seriously.
3. Lee-Si Woo ex-girlfriend is truly unlikeable, she is a b@#$% for sure. She has no remorse for cheating on her ex as thoug him not wanting marriage was a good enough reason to dismiss him while still having cheating on him at the same time. Seh never once apologies and then she is jealous when he does move on from her and hates his new gf as though she has any right to when she was the one who left him. Like that's just unrealistic to me.
4. Ha-Kyung's ex is just irriatble but barely decent, if he didn't cheat on her I would say that she should have gone back to him. Just cus he clearly still loved her but just wasn't good at expressing his real feeling of incompetency with her and asking for more effort on her part. He stalked Ha kyung more than talking to his wife, so he clearly still loved her more then his new wife
and had more chemistry with her than his own relationship. Him appearing to “love” Ye-Jin felt force and inorganic to the plot line as they were always fighting and could never really trust each other til the end. This was a rebound relationship that wasnt meant to work out but in order to be unique they made them workout which really they weren't fix for each other.
5. This bizarre return to ex as friends right after having an affair with the current person is also unbareable like seriously that's toxic and unrealistic. This shows goes downhill slowly and comes hill even longer. The only couple worth watching is her sister falling for 1302 guy. It' watchable but probably best to skip it if you are looking for a sensible storyline with a cute couple cus this is not it. The lead's are just annoying and rude in the wrong parts of the story at times so it's mostlty skipabble.
6. It felt like netflix was trying real hard to be original by goind such drastic line of plot progession but it was also just downright poor writing in this way as it didnt match the pace of the characters one bit dispite the good acting from everyone.
7. May update based on ending as.

Another messed up relationship dynamic

Just three episodes in, but I find myself literally unable to watch more.
The positives:
* The acting is actually quite good, IMHO -- the female lead is (appropriately) reserved and careful; the male lead youthfully smiling and happy. I actually love the secondary characters in this quite a bit -- their stories are ones that I might actually want to know more about :)
* The weather component of the show really captures attention! One positive thing about the Netflix Kdramas lately is that they are based in unusual and interesting settings, so that one learns a little bit about these different jobs that are all around but we don't think about much.
* The visual feel of the show is very nice.
Now for the negatives - listed in order of their awfulness:
* The relationship between the leads: It's not the age difference (not a big one, and its existence will likely play a role in later episodes), or lack of chemistry between them (again, we do not expect that at the start of the show -- it's supposed to develop) -- it's the work dynamic between the two. As a female executive, I felt revulsion from the very start -- to begin with, he calls her emotional, goes over her head, and acts pretty much like every stereotype of an overbearing guy in the workplace. And, of course, there are no real consequences to his actions. And she just lets it go! Completely forgotten by episode 3. Frankly, that did it for me -- I cannot imagine a circumstance under which an actual woman would ever get together with a man who did something like this.
* The two "exes" in the show are so atrociously repulsive as to be completely unbelievable. These are people our leads have known for years (decades in the case of the ex-boyfriend) -- and just now is when they find out what horrible people they are? Again -- completely unrealistic -- no one can "play" nice for 10+ years. It would take much too much energy, for one thing.

I am willing to suspend disbelief for a good show, but these two negatives are simply asking way too much.

SPOILERS * resumen y puntos de vista*

Llevaba mucho tiempo esperando este drama, PMY es de mis actrices favoritas y SK está mejorando mucho.
Este drama no fue nada de lo que me esperaba. Y un punto importante, ¡¡¡si algo aprendí con este drama es que la meteorología no es fácil, no voy a volver a insultar a los del clima cada vez que les fallen las predicciones!!!!
No es un mal drama, pero tampoco es de los mejores, creo que ambos actores tienen mejores trabajos que éste.
Podríamos decir como resumen que la serie trata muchas relaciones en distintos puntos de vista, cada uno de los compañeros de trabajo tendrán su propia relación a resolver y en general las historias están bien planteadas, son cortas pero para mi, bien desarrolladas.

Para resumir, tenemos a:
- nuestra FL (Ha Kyung - HK) es una mujer inteligente, seria y dedicada casi al 100 % a su trabajo,
- el ML (Si Woo - SW) por otra parte es unos cuantos años más joven que ella y es un alma libre y despreocupada, honesto y como diríamos en mi país "con poco filtro", que tiene la desgracia de cargar con una padre de mierda.

El primer capitulo empieza cuando a dos semanas de su boda HK se entera de la infidelidad por parte de su prometido de 10 años, vamos a aclarar que justamente la engaña (en su propia cama) con la chica con la que el SW estaba saliendo. HK cancela los planes de boda y todos en su lugar de trabajo terminan enterándose (pues los 4 trabajan en el mismo edificio, aunque diferentes áreas).
Los primeros capítulos avanzan bien y son interesantes de ver, terminan bebiendo juntos mientras hablan de sus experiencias con sus ex's y terminan durmiendo juntos, acuerdan seguir como simples compañeros de trabajo, pues ella no quería volver a salir con un colega, se van conociendo, él la anima y la ayuda a superar la ruptura.
Un tiempo después, deciden empezar a salir, pero HK pone la condición que ninguno de sus compañeros de trabajo debería enterarse, de lo contrario, romperían. En resumen no duran mucho tiempo, HK sigue teniendo sus inseguridades, y lo sigue comparando con su ex, SW tiene sus problemas familiares y prefiere romper a hacer que ella tenga que lidiar con padre. El resto de la serie, va a ser un idas y vueltas hasta los últimos 5 minutos del último capítulo en el que deciden volver a estar juntos.

COSAS QUE SI ME GUSTARON DE LA SERIE:
- Los dos protagonistas en realidad hablan de sus problemas, los plantean abiertamente y les intentan dar solución
- Los compañeros de trabajo tienen sus propios problemas con sus relaciones, y al menos para mi estan bien planteadas y no roban demasiado tiempo de la pareja principal.
- Aprendí muchísimo de la meteorología, al menos en el aspecto de su trabajo, se notó hubo mucha investigación

COSAS QUE NO ME GUSTARON DE LA SERIE: (tengo bastante)
- Empezando con las cosas mas pequeñas, HK no tiene un desarrollo profundo durante la serie, es más un medio para que la historia continúe, tenía un pasado interesante con ella de niña encontrando el cadáver de su padre después de su suicidio, y es un tema que casi no se toca. No tiene una evolución después de sus rupturas, sigue casi en la misma. SW tampoco evoluciona enormemente, pero sus situaciones se resuelven más.
LOS DOS TEMAS QUE MAS ME MOLESTARON:
1. LOS PADRES: Aclaro que los padres de ambos protagonistas me molestan. La madre de HK me parece sumamente entrometida y amargada, quiere casar a la hija a toda costa, le organiza citas a ciegas y casamenteras, aun después de que HK le dijo que se detuviese porque no estaba interesada, se entromete en su departamento (entra y revisa sus cosas) y en sus relaciones, lo primero que le preocupa es a que se dedica su pareja, cuanto dinero gana, y que hacen sus padres (y si bien puedo entender la preocupación me parece desubicado).
El padre de SW es aun peor, al parecer su madre murió cuando él era muy joven, y su padre lo único que hizo durante toda su vida, fue apostar, fumar, emborracharse y andar con pr*stitutas, lo dejaba a él en las puertas de los moteles y cosas así. Cuando SW crece y consigue un trabajo, lo único que hace es llamarlo para demandarle dinero y aprovecharse, persigue a sus parejas e intenta extorsionarlas, se mete en su lugar de trabajo y hace un escandalo, él hijo tuvo un accidente y a él solo le preocupaba cuanto dinero podía sacarles de seguro. En fin es una padre de mierda en todos los sentidos, y SW lo resintió toda la vida (y no lo culpo). Mi problema viene al final de la serie cuando descubren que el padre tiene un cáncer terminal y hacen como si SW tuviese que dejar todo su sufrimiento y maltrato pasado de lado, perdonarlo al padre y cuidarlo. Lo siento pero a mi esas cosas no me van.
2. SUS EX'S: el segundo punto viene a sus ex's, lo siento pero ambos son basura y terminan casi mejor que los protagonistas, cual es el mensaje?? Me pasé toda la serie esperando cuando llegaría el karma para ellos y nunca lo hizo! Él (Ki Joon) la engaña y le dice que fue su culpa porque supuestamente no le prestaba tanta atención. Por su parte la ex de SW (Yoo Jin), que en mis libros creo que también lo engaña, rompe con él porque quería un matrimonio con un hombre serio, con más dinero y estabilidad.
En resumen, KJ me molesta más que YJ, es un idiota inmaduro. Resulta que él no tenía tanto dinero como aparentaba, el apartamento donde vivía era pagado en casi su totalidad por HK asi que a él no le correspondía mucho, sus trabajos más importantes habían sido escritos con ayuda de HK, había vendido cosas del apartamento para hacer dinero y luego los reemplazaba con versiones más baratas, etc. Cuando se entera que HK había empezado a salir con SW hace un escandalo, empieza a ignorar a su nueva esposa y a seguirlos a escondidas para espiarlos, empieza a hacerle planteos a HK e incluso inicia una pelea en su lugar de trabajo. Luego cuando se entera que YJ había estado de novia y vivido con SW hace más escandalo, casi tratándola de p*ta. Desde mi punto de vista nunca tiene un completo arco de redención, simplemente se disculpó una vez como quien no quiere la cosa.
Con respecto a YJ aunque no me cae bien, tampoco me desagrada, llegué a entenderla un poco más a medida que avanzó la serie. Es joven pero realista de la situación económica y exigencias de su país, deja a SW porque él no quería casarse, y ella deseaba establecerse, casarse y tener una vida más estable económicamente que era lo que KJ prometía. Luego vendrán los problemas cuando se descubra que él no tenía mucho más dinero que ella, pero lo afronta e intenta hacer funcionar su matrimonio aun con las dificultades económicas. Intenta hablar y plantear sus problemas con KJ pero él es bastante inmaduro en su forma de afrontar las cosas. Ella terminó con SW y casi no volvió a tener contacto, enfocándose en su matrimonio, y a pesar de eso, cuando SW tuvo un accidente, ella fue quien lo acompañó al hospital, me llegó a caer mejor como persona que KJ.

EN FIN REITERO MIS PALABRAS, NO ES UN MAL DRAMA, PERO TAMPOCO ME PARECE BUENO, es para verlo sin esperar mucho a cambio, pasar el rato sin más.

Well paced, well acted and developed slice of life romantic drama

10/10 is my rating. This is a 2022 South Korean slice of life romantic comedy. It has 16, approximately 65 minute episodes. Alternatively known as Weather People and KMA: The Cruelty of In-House Romance.

Synopsis

Jin Ha-kyung (Park Min-young) was on the verge of getting married to her fiance after a 10 year relationship. Both worked for the Korean Meteorological Administration (KMA) and were a well known couple in the office. Ha-kyung is humiliated when she finds out, on the brink of their wedding, that her fiance is being unfaithful with a young reporter who also works with them. Han Ki-joon (Song Kang) is a forecaster at KMA and Ha-kyung winds up being the Director of the section he works in. He is the ex of the girl Ha-Kyung's fiance cheated with. Ha-kyung vowed to never have a workplace romance again but when a one night stand with Ki-joon leads to something more it may be hard for her to keep that vow. Can the two convince each other and others that their romance was not just a rebound and that they had no intention of becoming a couple out of revenge? Can they keep their relationship a secret from co-workers who may judge them as a superior and subordinate as well as for the age gap?

Review

Korean dramas are rarely risque but this one has some moments that make it refreshing and also lead to some hilarity. I liked that they slept together and it created this dynamic tension between them. Overcoming the age gap and supervisor subordinatehurdles added a layer of intrigue. Getting a glimpse inside the complexity of forecasting and the political ramifications of getting things wrong was interesting. I loved how her team grew closer throughout the series. I found each of the bonus romances believable and did not feel irritated when time was spent in them as I was also very drawn into those stories.

Spoilers

I thought her fiancé and his girlfriend who slept together and cheated on them would be irredeemable but was pleasantly surprised the writers turned it around and I was not angry on the main character's behalf but even started rooting for the relationship. The fact that she was able to put aside the hurt and become a good friend to her ex fiancé made her an all the more likable female lead. Same with the male lead and his ex girlfriend, the fact that he was always there for her and she for him as friends was heartwarming. Park Min Young is such a great actress and Ienjoy watching her bring the characters to life. I recommend this for fans of any of the main characters, for those that like slice of life, and as a well paced heartwarming romance.

Climate Change agenda

Okay so as far as stories go, this one is just full of paraphernalia and NWO agenda of “climate change” and chaos instead of family.
I definitely had my laughs and tears but overall - it lacked big time apart from the agenda of the above comment.
Watched it because of the brilliant cast layout and was thoroughly disappointed in the end.
When family is the core of society that leads to health and longevity (even if we’re told otherwise by those who are trying to break it down) is portrayed as something that pain cannot overcome because of parents bad choices then we have most definitely lost a very big blessing in our lives.
So glad that the couple decided to keep the baby in the end and they’re decision to overcome things together, again a family thing, shows what love can do.
The older couple who decide to fight to keep their marriage and family together also helped me continue to the end.
The modern idea that marriage is the “end of love” is a fallacy. Love is a decision, not merely a feeling that comes or goes with a whim. It’s the decision to stick it out through good, bad and ugly.
It also brings amazing blessing in life and society and family is one thing that you can come back to, yes even when it seems like the ugly kind. I’m not saying that there are those who don’t deserve to have kids or those who have been abused or are abusers but family is still family.

Weak storyline and weak characters too

I couldn't get past 3 episodes of this drama and dropped it after much eye-rolling and frustration. The storyline wasn't the most exciting (either from a romantic or thrilling aspect), but what killed it for me were the characters that we were supposed to be invested in were just so weak. The FL was just spineless and let her cheating ex walk all over her. How many times is the audience expected to just be satisfied with increasing scumbag behavior from the ex and only get an open-mouthed look of shock from the FL and nothing but acquiescence and silence? Is it her life's mission to not stand up for herself and be treated as a doormat? From reading other reviews, it seems this doesn't change much throughout most of the drama so no. Just no.

Clima do Amor ou Clima do Tédio?

Infelizmente este enredo foi uma grande decepção pra mim. Para não ser injusta, eu gostei dos dois primeiros episódios, e nesta época a história parecia ser promissora. Mas com o passar das semanas, tudo o que nos entregaram, foi um dorama chato, um roteiro que fica em um eterno looping, com pouquíssimas novidades, casais sem brilho e de uma previsibilidade imensa. O elenco é bom (eu amo o Song Kang, por exemplo). Mas nem a presença dele conseguiu salvar a história. Achei a personagem da Park Min Young extremamente apática (entendo que o intuito era trazer o oposto do personagem do Song Kang), mas para mim, não funcionou! E, com passar o tempo, aquela química que percebi entre eles nos primeiros episódios, foi sumindo até desaparecer de vez. O enredo dos outros personagens também quase não trouxeram nada de novo, eram pouco atrativos, incluindo o casal secundário. As cenas no local de trabalho deles eram especialmente maçantes. Gostaria que tivessem dosado um pouco melhor, assim não ficaria tão cansativo.

E o final, salvou?

É... Sem surpresas por aqui também. Usaram aquela velha tática de fazer o casal de protagonistas se resolverem faltando 20 minutos para acabar o drama. Veja bem, quando o roteiro é bom, até esse clichezão funciona, mas em um enredo que já era fraco e previsível, deixou a desejar também.

? Eu recomendaria?

Não! Especialmente se você procura um drama com um romance incrível, diferenciado e prazeroso de assistir. Se eu pudesse fazer uma analogia com o tempo, diria que no 'Clima do Amor', venceu a previsibilidade, onde inicialmente um tímido sol apareceu, prometendo um lindo dia, para depois se esconder atrás de nuvens cinzentas e assim permanecer até a chegada do anoitececer.
