To All the Guys Who Loved Me (2020) User Reviews

It was alright

[77SCES55 · 7/10 · 21 April 2022]

So the drama itself was ok. So the first episodes were good and you got to know the storyline better. Honestly the storyline was just chaotic, that way, you couldn't really follow the show. The plots were good and not that predictable. I liked the message about marriage. The actors were great, in my opinion especially the main male lead.

So over all it was a a 7 out of 10 for me.

Like sitting on roller coaster

The plot is a bit dull and slow in the first half. But as the story goes on there is sudden plot twist that surprise you. And you cannot hold accusing second male lead, second female lead mother for their nasty behavior.

The kiss scene in the middle is so amazing. Lead couple are kissing following the plot of cartoon book they publish. Page number 39,37 and 45........Male lead is quite a good kisser. Female lead is way too proactive, flirting with male lead. Frankly speaking I like more the shy girl she was with Jisung.

Anyway, it is rewarding to invest my time on this series. Rest hoped that the ending will be a happy one.

PS thank you for the cute wardrobe scene. I keep on looping as it is so funny.

Hear the news that female lead will divorce with her husband. Hope that she will have a better and freer life being single.

love it

I dont get it why this drama is so underrated, its funny and sad at the same time , the story line is not boring. I feel bad for male lead its slowy show he sacrified alot for the female lead. I hope this time he will have his happy ending

Not Good Enough

" To All The Guys Who Loved Me " had a good concept but a boring execution.

Even from the first episode things didn't look so good. The story, though was interesting theoretically, did not have a smooth start. The love triangle was boring, oldish and predictable, even though it had the potential for a solid bromance, which was ruined as they tried to create it only towards the end, and by then, they both had established a rocky relationship. The main couple was okay, but the repeated flashbacks, the cliche lines, and the cheesy scenes ruined it. The whole past lives was not excecuted well and thus, it ended up not being well explained, being repeated over and over, and almost dominated the present relationship. The side characters, in addition, although they provided some comedy relief moments, they were forgoten and their stories was almost not concluded.

Finally, the performances were, at least, pretty great, as it is expected from an all stars cast.

So, overall, 3.5 out of 10. The drama could have been a sweet, light romantic comedy with some dramatic elements and the just right amount of cliche, but it just was too boring.

Interesting plot

I watched this series because I love Hwang jung-eum and she's lovely in this series. The plot is interesting and holds its own but I just found it to be repetitive and a little trite. But I really enjoyed the four friends and the series was lovely. The theme of marriage is one that I particularly enjoyed. It's better than the 6:5 that IMDB rates it.

Ehh...

The key here is to approach this drama with tempered expectations. Its primary driving forces lie within a heavy love triangle and a big play on "memories from past lives". If you can't tolerate either elements then maybe you should skip it.

However, what stood out the most to me is who wrote this drama. I noticed that, this writer, across her other previous projects, she harbors a discernible aversion towards the institution of marriage, a sentiment that seems to have a deeply personal resonance for her. This notion was amplified even further in this particular drama. She took it even further by carrying her agenda across all of the side couples blatantly. Speaking of agendas and taking things personal, this writer really likes to shove her owns while disregarding its effect on the coherency. Another example, the whole ordeal with both male leads at the beginning. There were other examples as well.

While any writer is entitled to hold any opinions or take a stance on social matters they want, it can become a headache and burdensome when these viewpoints are overtly thrust upon the audience without contributing anything substantial to the broader conversation. They just end up shouting into an echo chamber eventually.

The final episode, unfortunately, proved to be an insufferably superficial culmination of the drama.
