Her Legend (2013)

I don't know who to blame the outcome of this drama. The director, the writers or the lead stars? Not only that this drama is just like any story about switch identity with amnesia but it also has the worst ending ever. They titled this "Her Legend" but where's the legend? There's nothing legend about this story at all. They made the female lead looked pathetic and stupid character while DJH, the male lead,a crybaby. I do not remember any dramas I've seen where the male lead cry so much. Also, EJS (lead female star) have 3 expressions on her face in this entire drama..smile, cry that is so fake and eyes growing wide. Let's go to the director, the director did not notice it when the doctor was trying to revive grandpa Do with defibrillator, DJH was holding grandpa's hand and his hand was on grandpa's stomach when the doctor tried it the 2nd time. They only have 1 ER scene and the director did not even make it right. It is so ridiculous where the villains who committed so much crime got away without being punished by the law. Don't the writer knows the law in their country? It hope these writers should not be allowed to write anymore while the director and the stars should go back to acting class again. But I did not forget the kids in this drama. I wish they did not grow up to adulthood at all. They're the ones who can be given some credits for this entire drama.

Story (3):
This drama starts off strong right out of the gate but it steadily fizzles and loses steam halfway through. The ending falls completely flat as it tries to make you sympathize with characters that don't deserve it, and support couples who have no chemistry between them. On the positive side, there is closure and no loose ends.

Acting/Cast (6):
While Kim Jeong Hoon has been great in series like Goong and I Need Romance, such was not the case in Her Legend. He was by no means bad, but his character never develops or grows during the series. He is just as immature in the beginning as he is in the end and at times all but throws tantrums. However, I don't believe it's through any fault of his own. I feel the faults in this drama lie with the writing and directing, as none of the characters really change or grow. It's also likely why there is next to no chemistry between the actors by episode 10. While the acting is good, it's just not enough to make up for the bad writing. Having said that, the first 4-5 episode were very well done and what kept me watching until the end, hoping that the show would bounce back.

Music (6):
The music was fair, there wasn't anything that stood out as being good or bad.

Rewatch Value (2):
I would not watch nor recommend this drama to anyone. The only reason this is rated a two, and not a one, was for the solid first 4-5 episodes.

Overall (3):
Not the worst drama by far, but not good either. It has its moments for sure, but moments here and there do not make for a great satisfying drama. When the writing for a drama starts to stray it's up to the actors to shine through and hold it up until it finds its way back, but unfortunately it doesn't happen here due to lack of chemistry. The beginning was strong and came across as it was well thought out, but the end feels rushed as the major plots are all resolved in the last episode. This drama also spends time telling the viewer how things are, such as who a couple is, but fails to build up to it properly, so it can leave viewers wondering where the romance is coming from all of sudden. A rom-com this is not. Very little romance, very little comedy, a lot of time wasted.

I watched this drama because of Do Jin Hoo who I fell in love with in Goong. However, in this drama, he is a far cry from the sexy prince in Goong. It's just that once you've seen him as a prince in Goong, you are spoiled forever. To be fair, Jin Hoo played the character correctly, which is a kind of shy, geeky guy. His acting was very good, however, I didn't really fall in love with his character. Too much crying for a guy. The drama overall was good. I was hooked from the start, got angry a lot and was emotionally moved a lot. Shows you how unfair life can be and how bad things can happen even to good people. The little girls and even teenage girls playing the rolls of the actors & actress when they were young did a phenomenal job. Made me wish I could see more of them. The villain female in this drama, did all kinds of mean and evil things and did get caught eventually during the drama (didn't have to wait to the end) and that made me really happy. The problem I feel with this drama was the romance between the main roles and of course the ending which a lot of people complained about. As they say, "I did't feel the love". So good as this drama was, I probably would not rewatch it. But first timers should catch it.

I liked the story, I liked the actors, I can't complain about the music though it wasn't that memorable, I would never watch it again, although overall the drama was fine. The second female lead annoyed me as much as she was supposed to, and I found both male leads good. The story was really interesting to me, and made me always really anxious to see the next episode. This was the first drama where I've been so eager to see the next episode that I have watched it raw and understood only a word from here and there, but still been satisfied since I've seen the episode as soon as I could. I liked it so much that I kept talking about it and wondering what would happen next. My roomie was so fed up with me constantly talking about the show, but I just couldn't keep it in. I was insanely hooked it for the time it was airing, but in the end I don't think it was time well spent.

I really wanted to love this drama overall, the main female lead is one of my favourite actresses and the male lead is very cute, the story was very intriguing, but in the end I was as disappointed as one can be. I really don't even understand how can an ending disappoint me that much. It was like I've been promised something magnificent and ended up with nothing but disappointment. I've been used to that in real life, but in dramaland I can't stand that kind of bullshit. Haha. I know life isn't about revenge, but I think it's foolish to let criminals run free just because you're related or you're just so good-hearted person. I want justice served even in some level, but in this drama it's just like you let the dog that devoured your lovely left arm run free, just because he's your beloved pet whom you love way too much to keep him disciplined. Well, I don't know if my comparison is that accurate, but as I've been ranting, I was so madly disappointed about the ending that I have to try to share the pain even by some crazy metaphors.

When I rate a drama, I think the ending is the most crucial thing, since that defines the feeling I am left with. In this drama's case it was nothing but disappointment, but because I was so into it till the last few episodes I'd still give it a 7. And I am being generous.

Should you watch it? Well, if you think that family comes always first and you have a heart that forgives everything, then go ahead. Or if you don't think that the ending matters that much afterall. This drama has its moments, it's good and keeps you hooked especially if you like the actors and romance that develops slowly. I personally loved it. And then came the ending and ruined this drama for me forever.

Sorte roubada

Alerta cardíacos!
Esse drama logo nos três primeiro episódio faz surgir um ranço de alguns personagens e uma dor no peito com as cenas psicologiamente tão cruéis que é como cortassem o coração com uma tesourinha . Que dó.

Estou impressionada com o caminhar da estória apesar de ter lido a sinopse e já saber o que me esperava, não imaginei que me emocionaria tanto e que iria ter Picos de humor tão perceptíveis, fui do nojo ao agradável, do ódio ao amor e da raiva a felicidade em menos de 10 episódios dos vinte que a série apresenta.
Não conhecia os protagonistas e pelo que verifiquei não tem muitos trabalhos deles.

Esse drama mostra com cruel podem ser as pessoas e que a ruindade não tem idade. Duas mulheres, dois destinos um afortunado e o outro exigiria sacrifícios, uma ganância egoísmo e falta de amor de parentes com uma criança órfã é o que mostra todo requinte do início ao fim. Intestino não foi trocado ele foi usurpado e levou 8 anos para farsa virar luz, hino total de 17 anos para que as coisas fossem postas nos seus devidos lugares mas o amor ele nunca mudou ele sempre esteve ali aguardando pacientemente para reencontrar aconchego nos braços que o dia prometeu protegê-la.
Em relação a sentimentos a criança que interpreta a protagonista no início, conseguiu transmitir com muito mais transparência e clareza do que a personagem adulta, que não conseguiu passar na atuação toda a paixão e sentimento de forma tão real, mas deu para perceber; quanto aos malvados, esses não pecaram nenhuma cena foram ruins do começo ao fim ,sem remorsos e sem arrependimentos.

Não quero dar spoiler. Vou parar por aqui só queria expulsar um pouco de como me sentir e o que percebi.
O final não foi satisfatório ficou um vácuo.
Poderia ter sido melhor e as pessoas ruins poderiam ter sido penalizadas eu acho que faltou uma delegacia e um tribunal nesse drama. Os malvados não sofrerão penalidades não te mostra se.

Enfim foi um trabalho bem diferente que eu vim 2013 não faz uma crítica negativa mas só expondo os meus pontos.
