Our Blues (2022)

I love it!

I love this drama. It is very unique. I like the idea of ​​telling the stories of all the residents of Pureung village on Jeju Island. This drama is very calm, comforting and heartwarming. It shows that everyone has their own problems and ways to deal with them. Not everyone is always honest and some just want to use us for their own benefit.

After watching, it can be concluded that an honest conversation is always one of the most important things to achieve success in various relationships. And I am glad that it has been shown through various issues, relationships and people. This is a very important point.

Our Blues made me cry, laugh and feel many different emotions.

I highly recommend watching it.

I gave it so few points in the "rewatch value" category because personally I rarely go back to watching slice of life dramas again. It's still a 10/10 drama.

"Há uma coisa que devemos lembrar em nossa vida. Nós não nascemos neste mundo para sofrer ou nos sentirmos miseráveis. Nascemos para sermos felizes." - Our Blues (2022)

Esse drama trouxe o cotidiano, a realidade de muitas pessoas. Foi muito fiel à questões familiares, por isso é tão comovente. Me apaixonei por cada morador da vila, suas histórias e como todos são cúmplices uns dos outros. Se ajudam, brigam, se amam e se protegem. Lindo de ver! Amei demais!

Algo que me pegou de jeito foi a maneira que apresentaram a gravidez na adolescência, toda a situação me deixou com o coração dolorido, até ser resolvido. E também sobre depressão, nunca tinha visto retratarem a doença assim, agora consigo entender melhor o que as pessoas depressivas que conheço passam.
Foi lindo como todos os moradores se juntaram e ajudaram a criança a realizar seu sonho de ver as 100 luas ?
Além de que o drama teve inclusão social com atriz com Síndrome de Down!

Aprendi tanto com esse dorama, vou sentir saudades de me emocionar todo final de semana ?

I wish I could give 8 ratings instead of one, to be fair to every story, since that is not possible, I'll do that here: order based on my preferences)
8-Han Soo&Eun Hee 2/10 (I really hated this one, I was almost gonna drop the drama because of it, thank God that I didn't)
7-Young Joo&Hyun 4/10 (not the type of story or the message that I'll want to watch)
6-Mi Ran&Eun Hee 5/10 (a decent story about friendship)
5-Ho Shik&In Kwon 7/10 (The scene in prison cell and the scene between In Kwon and his son in ep8 get 10/10 from me that's when I decided not to drop this drama)
4-Dong Seok&Seon Ah 8/10 (Just watching Shin Min Ah and Lee Byung Hun in one story was enough, I didn't expect much, but ended up loving it, Seon Ah's character developpement was great)
3-Choon Hee&Eun Ki 8.5/10 (ep17 turned my eyes to a waterfall)
2-Young Ok&Jung Joon&Young Hee 9/10 (Young Hee was a bless, so happy to see Kim Woo Bin in a drama again he had a great chemistery with Han Ji Min)
1-Ok Dong&Dong Seok 10/10 (A movie that you need to watch, mothers stories are one of my weak spots, they used it so well, seeing Lee Byung Hun and Kim Hyeja's acting was the gem of this drama, they were so good that I can't call it an acting)
Lee Jung Eun had was in the 2 weak stories but had more presence than the rest of the cast, she gave us Eun Hee the strong independent woman.
My favorite characters that I just loved seeing them in every scene are the two "halmoni"s Ok Dong and Choon Hee what a warm duo!
Over all, it's 8.5/10 and I'm sad to give it that rating after watching such a masterpiece in the last 3 episodes, I wished if they took off some weak stories and shrinked it to a 16 episodes drama, it would have been 10/10, it took me 8 episodes just to decide not to drop, but this drama was unique, special and so real.

Now I know what "Slice of Life" means....Loved it!

This was one of the best Dramas I have watched in a long time. The stories, the way it was formatted, the music, everything. I was not sure what to expect when I started it, but I wound up binge watching the whole thing in one day! I never do that! I did a lot of laughing and crying (the end of episodes 8 and 15 did me in!) If anyone asks me to recommend a drama, this would be it. I hope there is a season 2. I don't think anything was left open, I would just like to see where everything went in the future for these characters. But I will definitely be rewatching this in the future!

A beautiful story intertwined by multi-generation of pains

I barely give-out perfect scores but this show just truly hits everything right. From the ensemble of cast, the warm independent stories that connected the residents with one another, the cinematography showcasing unseen beauty of Jeju and the entire conveyance of the importance of happiness was great.

The show manifest how we should see our lives—objectively and with happiness. Honestly, I was able to relate to each of them somehow as they poised real issues that is going on in our society in general (not just in Korea, but the world). All of the emotions I felt while watching was raw. For me, it felt like it was made to give me feelings and to long for that warmth.

I initially thought that this drama will bore me. until I realized that I’ve become engrossed with their lives and seemed to be a resident of Pureung. I wish there was more episodes as I think it could resonate even further on some of their relationships but it needed to end on a certain high and so I am glad.

Excited to visit my parents this weekend!

Life and the human condition

Just finished watching this. There are upsetting, gut wrenching moments in this drama - just like our lives are peppered with them. But thankfully, there are some truly heartwarming moments that do make up for the other times our hearts are left broken.

The entire cast and crew are brilliant. Just a tremendous piece of storytelling and art brought to life. So many standout moments in this show. Please read everyone's reviews of this drama.

I've watched a couple of Han Ji Min's works and her characters have always come off as slightly different from the usual rom-com Kdrama female leads - not as cutesy or charming, a bit stern and 'straight' type of character. At first I didn't like her character of Young-ok. But I came to truly like Han Ji Min the actor as she was portraying this role. Even towards the end Young-ok wasn't my favourite but I'm glad the writer created such a character.

So, not every character was truly likeable but that's life. Nothing everyone gets a cathartic moment but that's life. And I guess that's the pinnacle of beauty in this show. The good, the bad, the ugly - brought to life, tussled with, leaving people healed, and also leaving others a lil bit broken but strong enough to move on.

There's something about this drama that just left me scratching my head at the beginning but before I knew it, everything clicked. The pieces of the puzzle fit in so snuggly, it was like nothing was ever out of place. I think many viewers will feel the same way. Whether it was the way the storytelling in the beginning or some of the characters or just a general feeling that the show was emitting. This could also act as a metaphor to this thing called life, the human condition. A bit of unease and confusion at times but sometimes it all clicks into place and all feels right with the world.

Stay happy, keep your loved ones happy, and learn to forgive.

The drama was very warm and cozy...It's interesting how we tend to dwell on painful memories while overlooking present happiness...We should strive to live in the moment because this time won't return, nor will those who we hold grudges against, and vice versa. It's important to find joy in small things, appreciate what we have, keep our loved ones happy, and learn to forgive.. ?
I really liked how each character was portrayed in depth in the drama... The scenes at the sea were very relaxing. I loved the market scenes, and Deok Seok's trip with his mother felt incredibly beautiful to me... ?❤

THE ACTING!!! THE MUSIC!!! EVERYTHING HAS QUALITY!!!
Our blues was such a warm drama. It showed the problems and struggles of all the characters in their life and how they overcome it. I didn't plan to watch this drama but now that I watched it, I must say I'm glad I did!
I love how they focused on everyone's life in this drama. And I like how there is not 1 main character but all of them are main characters! It felt like watching a real person's life. It always felt so real and relatable I can't describe it.

SPOILERS BELOW!!!!


I liked all the chapters.
I cried watching the whole last episode except some scenes.
The friendship between characters sometimes made me cry. ( because I don't have that type of friendship)

I'm just happy that man su didn't die. I didn't want chung hi grandma to lose her child again. I really adore eung hi she's so cute and acts so well!
I'm so happy that dong seok is finally free from all the unhappy things he remembered. I believe he and seon ha will be happy together.
Captain and yeong ok suit each other so well. Captain is so calm and accepted everything about her. He's such a green flag! I always found yeong hi cute, she always tries to do her best! I really like her personality!

Eun hi always reminds me of my aunt. She has the exact personality as my aunt. So I always felt comfortable with her character. And felt relieved when she finally made up with her friend.

Hyeon is such a good partner to young joo. He never leaved her and always assured her that he's always with her.♡

I want to say many things but i just can't express myself well! Well this drama really made me cry too much. I love this drama from the bottom of my heart.
And the OST's, love them!!!

Our Blues - review from England

This series is such a treat and I would recommend anyone to see. There is violence in some of the scenes but keep watching - it's necessary to understand where the characters have come from and where they are going.
The script writing is unbelievably good and the stories and heartache through every episode are truly unique. Many of the topics would just not be touched on in the UK so it's a big well done from me.
And the huge cast is to be applauded for acting to such a high level through the series. From the smallest to the eldest. The storylines with Kim Hye Ja and Go Doo Shim were amazing and acted out with such sensitivity that I am lost for words.
Well done to all the crew, keep promoting this in the UK.

It gets better the more you watch it

I wasn't sure to continue watching this after the first two episodes. But I'm glad that I finished the series. It keeps getting better every episode. Because the first few episodes don't determined the whole series. Since the story is not revolving on one character, but almost every character in the series. Main roles would keeps changing around, sometimes the main role would become support role, or the support role would become the main later in the series. Which gives us much better understanding of the relationship between every character. The ending gives me a very satisfying feeling that made me glad that I watched the series.

So if you are one of those people like me who wasn't sure to continue watching this after first few episodes, I strongly suggest you to continue the series, you'll thank me later. I can confidently say this is the best series I've watched this year.
