This show barely feels like a Korean drama, but I can't decide if it's a refreshing departure from the norm or if it's exorbitantly carefree. Maybe it's just because I'm obsessed with work and I could never let myself go on a two month vacation, let alone fall in love without any regard to consequence like that. I hope that the city will serve as a grounding factor and help Jae-won and Eun-oh start over in a more.. traditional way?

Out of all characters we have got very little information about Eun-oh. She is still mystery. We still don’t know what she really thinks. We just saw series of events where she took one baffling decision after other. It is very difficult to root for a couple where one party had constructed a very fake persona and other rushing through things without thinking it through.

Still not warmed up to the main couple in this story but I find Eun Oh intriguing. What was she escaping and why did she take on this personality?

I actually really like this carefree, less grounded start of a relationship that we see between Seon ah and Jae won. It’s less dramatic and angsty than the usual relationships portrayed in drama land and in that sense I find it easier to watch. obviously I don’t know how things will change as they meet in the present day but I like what we are getting so far.

Jae-won is too clingy. Why would he get upset when Sun-ah didn't come by 6 when he knows she has to work? When he said "saranghae" on their first night, I was like, "What, did I miss a timeskip?" but he's just the type who falls in love fast.

Either due to the web drama format or the 30-minute episodes or
the mockumentary style, I feel as if we only know these characters on a superficial level.

I love the camera interactions and how characters openly about sex and relations, which is so different (with honorable exceptions) to most kdramas. I like how they seem to be talking to each other when they're not.
As for the main love story, I find it really boring. I can totally get a crush, I can get you can fall for someone in a minute, but somehow I find JaeWon not believable, his infatuation seems excessive and obsessive (how could he say "I love you" on their first night together when they've barely knew each other??? That was soooooo creepy).
Also, I usually like KJW, but I find her quite meh here.

I was not really onboard the interview format in ep 1 but by ep 2 & 3, I totally loved it! The seeming interactions between the 6 characters are gold; so cheeky and fun. And the topics are rather interesting. Pretty raw and unabashedly. Did you see how the rest dismissed Jae Won about his morning after? It was so hilarious.

I also find that while the drama is 30 mins long, there are a fair bit of details that either support some backstory or give some insights to the characters' emotional state.

Gyung Joon and Rin Yi were so cute in ep 2. Both the theater and hotel scenes are laugh-out-loud funny. So Ju Yeon is so cute! OMGosh. But I thought she should have just kept her tank top on. Not being a prude but I had concerns for her career especially cos she has another high school ongoing drama.

Anyway, going by the title of the drama, this show will spend more time exploring their lives and romance in present-day Seoul. I think the beach resort serves as a contrast and possibly to aid character development.

On a holiday, all those feelings the leads felt are real. Jae Won is trying to live his dream of a one-month surfing holiday while Eun Oh is trying to break out of her hated life. So naturally, many inhibitions are shed and some of their actions could seem inexplicable or OTT. I felt a disconnect with Eun Oh's Seon Ah persona. She seemed so unnatural. At first I thought there was something wrong with KJW's acting but when I realized Eun Oh is trying to be bold and all, I think she portrayed it very well. Also, she wasn't really faking it that much...it's just a side of her she hasn't explored and she was also trying to challenge her own boundaries.

As for Jae Won, he's such a romantic fool but also a gentleman. I felt the part where he said "I love you" to Seon Ah, he was kinda of trying to justify to both of them that they're acting out of love. I'm sure he had some good affections of her as he said he like her but it's not a deep love as yet. But their passions have escalated too quickly and he might have felt a need to "assure" himself? There was something in the 2nd time he said it that came across as determined.

I noticed however all the girls in the drama were the ones leading the guys. No shy girls? Haha? And the guys were the shy ones? Or at least more so compared to the girls. Even the novelist is pretty shy going by his romantic records.

I really like the format. It's very interesting and the interactions between the cast pretty funny.

For the main love story, it's hard to believe it between the FL who is lying to everybody and overall to herself and the ML is very weirdly in love with a woman he just met. Except her being a free soul, I don't see any deeper reason to be attached like this...

People fall in love at first sight, it happens. It has been the ever lasting theme in romantic stories. Jae-won's is just one of them. As he said in the interview, he is attractive to interesting or weird woman, that is how Eun-oh seems to him. That night he said "I love you" twice, the first time the words might be rushed out of passion, but second time he said it in determined way. As Eun-oh didn't say it back, I can feel sadness in Jaw-won's eyes.
So far we don't know much about Eun-oh, what happened to her in the past, does she really love Jae-won? Did she know that Jae-won hurts a lot when he found out her leaving without any word? The answers to these I really want to find out from future episodes.

I really want to give this show a chance. I do. But after 4 eps, I don't know how much longer I could stand the story. The story going nowhere for 2 hours. No point wasting time in the beach scene, when viewer already know where the relationship would go. And it's hard for me to believe their story when everything are under false pretenses.nothing interesting watch a man fallen for some another manic pixie dream girl, let alone the fake one. Other character barely has story to tell, just playing filler to explain the story that viewer already know. I am not sure with the 30 minutes format, especially when they barely show meaningful progress in every episode. If they go with standard 52 minutes format, I am pretty sure they could make the whole beach story in one episode and start the seoul story in second episode.

I've got to admit, that for once I am having a hard time with this drama. As @sukstan said above, I can't decide whether this style of drama is a refreshing change or a bit too different than my usual taste in dramas.
I was intrigued by the 'lovers trying to date in the city' concept because i am very much a city girl. But we've barely seen them in the city.
I get that these episodes are a setup for the main storyline, but for once I can't wait for the main story line to start in the city.

I guess as an academic I find the concept of being able to take a month/2 month long vacation a little too implausible (for me, perhaps other career paths have provision for such a break). But at the same time, I wish I could be like EunSo and take a very real break from the real world. Just for a bit. Note her lack of electronic devices. I wonder what she is really running from.

As seen in the 'docu' she is certainly back in the city, so I am very curious to see how they bring her back to 'civilization'

I really wanted to like this show but so far I'm very meh about it. I hope it gets better.

It has been a long time that I haven't seen such refreshing kdrama. It is so different from the usual ones. The narrative style is very interesting. It is not hard too see that the PD, script writer and actors have done a great job to tell love stories without dragging it into boredom. Last but not the least, Actor Ji Chang Wook has again shown his outstanding acting skills to make everyone of us want to fall in love again. Desperately looking forward to the rest of the episodes !❤❤❤

Know what? I love to see Korean dramas especially those of my favorite actor Ji Chang Wook and I just know that I enjoy watching them, I don't know why there is so much detail, what if the format, what if he told her that he loved her very quickly, for me to see A drama is to enjoy seeing the performances, the scenarios that are beautiful and above all that if it is a romantic drama with more reason, when you fall in love you do crazy things and your behavior is not the same, we all act differently and I like that everyone thinks differently, I love Locestruck in the city. By the way, if the holidays of 2 months and even longer exist.

Camera interactions is the main reason I like this show, because this kind of opening is very special, I like it very much. This drama has presented a high standard in both the soundtrack and photography. The director and actors performed very well, and the fourth episode began to present a very interesting situation. I look forward to the plot on Tuesday.
And I really like Park Jae Won played by jichangwook.

Lovestruck’s format is refreshing, story is heartwarming and Ji Chang Wook’s acting is incredible as he melds into character brilliantly. His talent is undeniably magnificent with each expression engendering an immediate desire to give him a huge hug or laugh at the fun interaction with his father and cousin. You know Park Jaewon’s love and hurt are genuine and hope for a happy ending! Can’t wait for the next episodes!!! Watching and rewatching each episode since 30 minutes is not long enough!!

This feels a lot like "Sex in the City goes to the Beach" for me. As if written for an american audience. The music has an american vibe, plus the interview format has been done before in the US too. There's something lost in breaching that 'fourth wall' in storytelling. The characters are being interviewed, which pulls me into their world, yes, but then when they look at the camera (aka me)...the storytelling becomes obvious and I distance myself. I do much better when the camera helps me 'suspend my disbelief' in what's onscreen, not keep reminding me that this is being filmed and is all 'smoke & mirrors' designed to capture my imagination. The characters and plot seem more artificial because of this too. Yes it's fresh...but does it really draw the viewer in...or simply charm us with manipulated questions and answers in order to layout the plot, rather than allow us to move into the heartbeat story and let us watch the emotions of the characters by ourselves, rather than being rolled into a group watch. Have to admit I don't care about any character yet. Maybe it's because I still much prefer a drama where it's "show, don't tell". The actors of course, are all stellar in this one though. It's the format that's already getting tiring.
