[Cupid is so Dumb]

Lee Je-Ha reminded me of my own struggles with burnout. When you lose someone or something that gave your life direction, it’s so hard to get back on your feet. I cried when Da-Eum introduced herself at the funeral. That scene felt so real. The drama doesn’t try too hard to be sad, it just shows people being human in quiet, emotional ways. Also, I liked that it respected the process of filmmaking. It was not just about romance, but also how stories are made. I give this a 9.5. I only wish there were more scenes with Da-Eum acting — she was amazing in those short parts.

 

[Femme fatale]

I don’t understand the hype. Yes, the cast is talented, and I admit the cinematography is nice. But the plot feels slow. Too many moments where people just sit and stare into space. I was expecting more drama or stronger dialogue. And the doctor taking Lee Je-Ha to a funeral? That felt so forced. Like, who does that in real life? Maybe I’m missing the deeper message, but I just didn’t feel emotionally connected. Da-Eum’s character was okay, but I don’t think her illness was explored enough. If the story is about loving in the face of death, they should have gone further. For me, it’s a 6.5 out of 10. Not bad, just not special.

 

[Breakaway]

Watching “Our Movie” made me think about my parents. My father also worked in film, and I grew up watching him struggle between his passion and responsibilities. That part of the story was deeply personal for me. Lee Je-Ha’s hesitation to remake his father's work is very understandable. Sometimes we think we’re rejecting a person, but really we just don’t understand them yet. The moment he finds out his mother wrote the screenplay, I cried. That moment changed everything. I also admire Da-Eum’s courage. She’s not just sad or tragic — she’s full of life, even when facing death. The writing captured the small, human details very well. I would recommend this to anyone who likes quiet, emotional stories that make you reflect on your own life.

 

[Quintessential Mrs. Park]

I finished all 12 episodes in three days. I couldn’t stop. Honestly, the story gave me goosebumps. There was so much truth in the way the characters interacted. Not dramatic shouting or fake arguments, just real feelings. I think the best part was how Da-Eum never begged for pity. She lived her life and helped someone else find purpose too. That takes strength. I also loved that the romance didn’t feel forced. It was gentle and slow, but powerful. Like they were learning to breathe again together. If you’ve ever lost someone, this drama will speak to you.

 

[Creed Chen]

I’m more interested in the technical side of this drama than the romance. I like how it talks about filmmaking and creative blocks. Not many dramas explore that part of the arts industry. The idea of remaking a movie you don’t even like — but then finding out your mother wrote it — that’s a cool plot twist. It’s not about stealing ideas, but about understanding where they came from. Also, the acting was solid across the board. Jeon Yeo-Bin impressed me the most. She had to play a character who is dying, but also full of dreams. That’s not easy. My only complaint: the pacing was inconsistent. A few episodes dragged. Still, I’d say it’s worth watching.

 

[Pinko]

I just want to say: the soundtrack is beautiful. Seriously. Every time the piano music started, I got emotional. Music can make or break a drama for me, and here, it was perfect. It matched the mood and helped express the feelings that weren’t spoken. Especially that scene on the bench — the silence, then the soft music. That’s when I knew I was hooked. The show felt like a quiet letter to everyone who has lost love, or is scared to love again. It wasn’t loud. It was gentle and honest. This one will stay with me for a long time. 10/10 for music and emotion.

 

[Mama Cathy]

This drama reminded me of the book “Tuesdays with Morrie”. Maybe because of the way it talks about death. I didn’t expect a love story, but what I got was more than that. It’s about life. It made me think about what I would do if I knew my time was short. Da-Eum was the most inspiring part. She didn’t just want to be remembered. She wanted to make something meaningful. I’m still thinking about her line, “I want to live the life I have to the fullest.” We hear that kind of quote a lot, but this time, it felt real. Like she earned it. Beautiful drama. I want to show it to my friends.

 

[Luxe]

I mostly watch anime, but a friend told me to try this drama. I'm glad I did. It felt different from what I usually watch. Not fast or action-packed, but emotional. The story was slow, but that made it feel more serious. Lee Je-Ha and Da-Eum had good chemistry. You can feel the pain and hope in their conversations. It’s hard for me to talk about death in real life, but the drama helped me think about it in a new way. I think I want to watch more shows like this now. Maybe not all the time, but when I want to feel something deeper.

 

[Destiny]

I'm so tired of overly sweet love stories. “Our Movie” gave me something more grown-up and sincere. The love here is not about kissing in the rain or running at airports. It’s about showing up for someone when they’re falling apart. I’ve been through grief before. I’ve seen someone I love fade away. So when Da-Eum said she still wanted to dream and live, I cried. It hit me hard. The show isn’t perfect — some dialogue was awkward — but it’s honest. I like that it doesn’t try to solve everything. Sometimes love doesn’t fix pain. It just helps you carry it better. This drama understood that. And that’s why I respect it.
