> A artistic Journey of two heart broken people in love

PLOT
-----
Lovestruck in the City is simply not for everybody and this show takes time to develop , so you’ll either like it or you won’t I don’t think there’s any in between, but if you do intend to watch give it time. I personally watched it in two parts (1-8) and (9-17) as i held myself from watching every-week and bite my nails or loose interest. I also helps that it a short series to enjoy it more in a binge!!

The concept is definitely fresh and all the characters have distinct personalities and the actors do a very good job in bringing those out (even if I put my love for JCW aside and see, he’s mind blowing in all the emotional scenes and always delivers).

There are episodes in the middle of the show which could easily be counted as ‘filler’. Nothing develops for a while in between and the later episodes are comparatively faster (in a good way). The ending was also not really satisfying and I feel some stories had much more to offer even though they wrapped most of them up as they could. I know this may sound like a reason to not watch but it’s still interesting and at no point did I feel like dropping the show.


CAST
------
My issue is that the 2 main characters are not as likeable. I did not root for them to be together- I wanted them to develop but separately. It takes time for them to come around one another and their journey made me believe they were better off. The way they were written came across as whiny (ML) and Selfish (FL) and made me loose empathy for them. If frustrating character decisions get to you then you should keep this into account while watching. Also lack of communication is the source of all problems in this drama- between literally most of the characters.

The side characters are more interesting to me in this show and they don’t get enough screen time in my eyes. Even worse [spoiler] They broke-up a long-dating couple and teased to bring together two star-crossed lovers only to breakup at the end[/spoiler]


VERDICT
----------
The episode length really works in the show’s favor as I never realize when the time passes. However as mentioned earlier, nothing happens in some and thus a 12 episode format could have worked better

These were enough reasons for me to keep going- however I don’t think everyone would like it. **Appreciating the uniqueness of the drama** I do think this show would be enjoyed more if binged watch at once. Definitely give it a try for it’s performances, cinematography and OST!
