This slice of life drama filled with human yet forgiving portrayals of dealing with teen pregnancy, depression, disabilities, family trauma, and plenty more. There are layers and depths to the characters, so take patience and remember this is a slice of life drama and NOT meant to be a predictable romantic comedy like Business Proposal and CLOY. Not every character is likeable but they sure are relatable human beings you will grow to understand and love. Episodes 15 to 17 are some of the most heartbreaking & beautifully written scenes. **update** the final episode is worth the emotional rollercoaster. I've never cried so hard watching a scene. The star-studded cast were definitely not wasted on this series. Jeju with its charms & character convince us of a tight-knit and well-meaning community. 'Our Blues' is the wholesome and healing drama series you didn't know you needed!

Great casting! The true stars for me were Lee Moo-saeng, Kang Mal-geum and Jeon Mi-do with their stellar performances. Watch for the relentless love of friendship, family and true love. Watch for the plush life of Son Ye-jins character and versatility as an actress. Watch if you are worried about heading into your 30s or your 40s. You will be moved by these 3 strong friends and their bond.

Hilarious comedic vibrancy from both Park Seo-joon and Kang Ha-neul. Liked that there was no real love interests and the focus was on just 2 well-intentioned, passionate, young training police dudes trying to save some girls from human trafficking. The ending makes a huge statement especially in reviewing broken systems and handling corruption. An entertaining action movie!

The female lead has no backbone and completely blinded by her love for cooking than to be able to see the love interest for the egotistical prick he was. Any cute moments were overshadowed by the reality of their toxic relationship -in other words, her naivety and his jealousy.

Enjoyed the quirkiness of this cute drama thanks to the talented leads. Would have preferred a movie length version about just the two leads rather than including the relationships of the other characters I chose to skip through. These 5 stars are for Lee Min Ki and Jung So Min's chemistry!

First you'll swoon... and then disgust, relief, and heartbreak will all come crashing upon you.

This series isn't for entertainment but rather a feast for thought. The introverts, the socially awkward, and the minimalists, who notice the small things in life will appreciate this one. This series takes an honest look at the realities of the human heart's conditioned need for acceptance in the bustle of capitalism, success and love. As a Lee Min Ki fan, I didn't love the role of middle brother, Chang-hee, on him - perhaps because this character talked so much. He still has an interesting character arch, but that doesn't kick in until like... the last 3 episodes. The cool, calm, mysterious role is that of the hired hand, Mr. Gu (played by Sukku Son.) You literally hang on his every word because the dude barely speaks, but is full of surprises when he does. Just observing his actions tells us so much but still so little about him in the end. His slooow burning love with Chang-hee's younger sister, Mi-Jeong (played by Kim Ji-won), is borderline frustrating but will have you living for their every interaction. The eldest sister Gi-Jeong (played by EL) is equally annoying as her brother Chang-hee, as she is consistently putting her foot in her mouth with all the pointless talking she does. I realize the two talkative siblings are not as likeable in contrast to the refreshingly quiet Mr. Gu, their sister Ji-geong, and father. They play their roles as family farmers loyal to their familial obligations and still commute hours away to corporate jobs in the city, convincingly. The theme of liberation is constant down to the last minute of the series with sensible endings for all three siblings and core characters. The series boasts symbolic and cinematic moments with so much to analyze and discuss - for starters, these complex characters that make you uncertain whether they are likeable but make you question whether you even care if they aren't.
