Love at second sight!
eli-stuttgart20 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Excess emotions come up when I remember this sweet Drama. At first I didn't even begin to understand in which direction it was going. I had started it, but watched it until the first episode, because I judged hastily according to the clichés. After the second chance I was overwhelmed by "Love with Flaws". It was still clichéd and the well-known love triangle was also present, but despite that the drama is more peculiar than other dramas. That is because the characters are everything but perfect, so that they make bad decisions while being in an irrational state, which is why this deviates from the typical.

Apart from the good humor, which oftentimes makes you laugh without having to think about it, there is also a melancholic side to it, which is however tempered by cheering up, so that the viewer doesn't feel heavy on his heart. The sad point of view makes the characters seem profound, even though they mostly seem frivolous and childish, most of all the main characters. The everyday difficulties of everyday life are well portrayed in real time, like shame as well as a person's shortcomings. The drama shows the audience that it is normal and has to be like that, that it is okay the way you are.

Another important aspect, which only made everything better, were the supporting roles. Every single one of them had a very touching and important story to tell with a message behind it, each with his own difficulties that he tried to solve. This encouraged even more to look further because they were very interesting, but there was far too little focus on them. Most noteworthy are the situations of their older brothers, which were handled and produced very well, also regarding the gay character.

The different relationships between all the characters were also nice to watch, like platonic and family love. The sibling love was very strong that you could feel it through the screen. What I liked most was that the oldest one always held on to the affinity between his sister and believed in it with a lot of conviction and wanted to prove this to outsiders. The end was a bit fast, as if one wanted to show the result as soon as possible so that one would be hung up, which is a pity, as everything was very good all in all. More than that. (Please note my immeasurable conviction and fascination)

Finally, I would like to touch briefly on the execution. The format of the shoot was very nice and also the contrasts as well as the vintage fit very well in the cold background.

A very underrated drama to your disadvantage!!

Ower all very enjoyable
waanjayarmy16 January 2021
The story line draw is really "korean style". It is a great comedy, made me laugh a lot. The actors were great, the lead female charater(s) were awesome. For the male lead, he was cute and acted the character out well. The only thing bothered me is his very likely atrificial nose lol. He had this lightly chubby feature, so his face was very valid for this role. When the story of the main pair got slow, the side characters kept up a nice pace for the series.

Good Enough
PennyReviews17 January 2020
" Love with flaws " was an enjoyable drama.

What didn't work for me was that, towards the ending, it felt like the action was happening behind the scenes and you get to only watch the results of it. And the last episode was not as good as the rest of them.

But, other than that, the comedy part was very good. The drama was funny, fresh and adorable overall. The leading lady was a delight, as always, and she adaoted to her role beautifully. The side characters and their stories were really entertaining and made the drama even more enjoyable, as the main story was low paced.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

Some endearing qualities
phd_travel11 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The premise about good looks is quite amusing and sustains the show for the first half. I liked some things about this series and disliked some things but I think on the whole it was worth watching. Not a must watch but alright. I liked the female lead's character and the actress Oh Yeon Seo is quite pretty and charming. Ahn Jae Hyun is quite suited to his role but sometimes his expressions are too limited. Seeing how the couple overcomes the misunderstanding of childhood is quite absorbing. The side stories with the brothers is fairly interesting first the womanizer then the gay brother and finally the trainee idol. Endearing family relationship.

Some faults: The psychiatrist guy wasn't funny and felt strange. The cousin who loved the female lead was unnecessary and felt tacked on. Could have been left out. Some overreacting to situations. The main romance lost some steam towards the end. A couple of factors cast a shadow over this show. Firstly the tragic death in real life of the actor who played the second brother. Secondly the messy divorce of Ahn Jae Hyun around the time of the show. These things didn't make a difference to the series itself but it plays on the mind while watching it.

It's not great but it's a a show that can keep the viewer interested till the end.

Perfect
Cylonpi7 February 2022
When you had 16 hours with a lot of fun, and some little tear in your eyes.

When the balance between joy and pain, is more for joy.

When you feel really good at the end.

As when you end up a good book and you smash the back at the end.

I will say that the telling and the acting are perfect.

NB. Supporting roles are perfect.

A pretty fun drama
sociallyawkwardandbored18 January 2020
I really enjoyed the concept of this drama and how funny it was as it was progressing. I was a bit dissapointed at the ending as it felt a bit rushed. Nevertheless it is pretty funny and enjoyable to watch.

Loved it
Vieflovessexy9 January 2021
Finished watching today and I really loved the show, all the story lines, the struggles they had.. I thought Ahn jae hyun did a great job (my emotions went through a rollercoaster, laughter, tears etc) watching series like these , makes the current lock down more durable

It was an ok romcom
lmerana21 January 2020
I tried to like the drama without prejudice and watched it until the end. It was ok at the beginning and has some chemistry with the female lead. However, I noticed how the male actor is having difficulty in acting and in his face that is supposed to be handsome, does not appear charming. He just have a very white face and that's all. After the discovery of the conflict, it went downhill from there.

I loved it!
skylercamille2 February 2020
I don't know why this drama only has a 6.9/10. I almost let that rating dissuade me from watching. However, I am so glad that I did not not. This show is full of beautiful and enthralling relationships whether it be platonic or romantic. The relationships are all so unique and the chemistry that exists between all the characters is extremely strong. The acting really impressed me and I was surprised by how much I loved and hated certain characters. I cried many times watching this show because of how emotionally involved it forced to be. Please watch this drama, it is very underrated in my opinion. This show has something for everyone whether you are looking for comedy, romance, or just adorable family dynamics!

Very sweet
gillianrsheridan9 March 2021
I like the concept and the fact that this show doesn't take itself too seriously despite covering serious topics. You get the idea that no matter what life throws at you if you have a good people support network you'll be OK.

light and heavy at the same time
ansirahka27 January 2021
I do not understand why people trash this series, is it because of that garbage ex-wife of his and her pathetic fans?

I am not going to weigh in on logic or sensibility of the story or characters cause everything about this series is just as absurd as any other Korean romantic comedy, if not waaay funnier and enjoyable than most.

Light beautiful drama

Warning: Spoilers
I dont know honestly why this drama has a low rating because it is just a treat for you after a long day. This is a REAL korean drama which doesnt have weird plot twists or anything and it didnt bore me at all. The so called dramas with plot twists sometimes lose the touch after a few episodes but this was funny and interesting till the end. I hoped the noona and oppa got together as well ;)

A million truckloads
alaningle718 November 2022
Jo Seo-yeon (Yeo-Seo Oh) is a PE teacher who has two step brothers and a brother who in her youth rejected a chubby Lee Kang Woo (Ahn Jae-Hyun) and lost contact with him. He returns years later and ends up by using his contacts to run the school where she works as he still has feelings for her and has now become very handsome. Unfortunately for him because her step brothers are very attractive people always questioned if she was their sister and therefore she has an aversion to attractive men. It is an entertaining romantic comedy and the funniest moments are the interactions between the lead and her best friend played by Seoul-gi Kim. We also get a love triangle and lots of interesting side characters with their stories which holds your interest till the end.

Wonderful all round
sepidehzekavat1 February 2021
It was funny, with a great cast and very easy to watch, they covered a range of topics and didn't force romance between characters which I liked. The ending felt a bit abrupt but everyone's stories kinda come to a close anyways and it leaves the rest for you to come up with your own twist on the ending which isn't a bad thing in the slightest.
