The Last Kdrama That Made Me Laugh: "Love Revolution" Review

avatar
(Edited)

I saw the last episodes of this series about 20 hours ago and then I saw this contest about four hours ago, so it's almost like I'm choosing this because it's the most recent I saw but I saw two comedy series before this one almost a one week ago so I'm actually choosing this because it is the best I'll recommend for a fun movie time.

I've had this series on my watch list for over four months before I decided to see and all through my experience seeing it, I wish I saw it much earlier. It was just the right movie I needed to see with everything seemingly serious in my reality. No recommendations before I saw it but a clip I saw won me over because I love the male lead.

His role in Love Revolution is a direct opposite of his role in Weak Hero Class and that drew me in. I may not review the series in the best way I want to because I'll be focusing more on the comedy aspect but before that, it's best to know the series could possibly have a second season. But if there isn't, it did give a fair closure to viewers.

"Love Revolution" is a 2020 released Korean series in the genre of "Comedy, romance, coming-of-age" starred by "Park Ji-hoon, Ruby Lee, Kim Young-hoon" and other known supporting characters. The story is based in a school of students navigating love, friendship and studies.

Gong Joo-young, a new student at a school who just moved to live alone, meets a pretty girl (Wang Ja Rim) and fell in love with her at first sight. Wang Ja Rim, a very reserved student meets a fellow student who keeps disturbing her quiet life. Both have to come to a middle ground.

That story line seem almost like, there won't be much comedy but from the first episode, you're in for a good laugh. Watching Gong Joo-young pursue his true love, neglecting his studies and being the best friend to his guys, it's a sweet and funny rollercoaster ride you'd love every side of it.

I must give a spoiler here that the series is definitely not for who finds exaggerated scenes annoying because this story had a lot of it thanks to the role Gong Joo-young played. He does everything in excess and that is also part of why the story is a very funny one. From how he shows love to how he neglect his studies, exaggerated.

Maybe the last series I saw him in where he was so serious and heartbroken made this series more impactful as it felt like he was relieved of all those tension and just being a little princess in love (his name in the series means princess - so hilarious). I can't forget the scene where his messed up proposal got him a positive response.

I'll say the female lead kinda brings down the mood of the story with her calm, serious and unconcerned character which is the opposite of the personality who fell in love with her. It's like her role made Gong Joo-young shine better in his role but she's so pretty and perfect for the role she played. I also like her banter with her sister.

The supporting characters are not left out, there are different comedy and love story going on between them especially the love triangles that turn out unexpectedly. The episode about them being scared of a ghost story has to be the highlight for me. I also laughed a lot in the scene where Gong Joo-young tried dancing to gain love.

Over all, this series is a good break from serious movies or thriller and horror genres. If you want a good laugh, check this series out. I'll recommend it and I'm hoping the second season will be better if it ever comes out. Let me know in the comment section if you've seen the series before or not.

I'll definitely give this a good watch.
I too have been having some overly serious realities recently so maybe this will help me relax a bit.
Thanks a lot for the review

I haven't watched the movie but I'm certain I'm going to love it. Maybe because I loved Park Ji Hoon's role in Weak Hero Class ;). I'm definitely going to give it a watch.

Okayyyyy. I'm not a Kdrama fan at all,, not cos I hate them, but because I end up loving them too much and when they end I feel really bad.

But this series sounds like something I could fall in love with it. It's been a while since I watched anything romantic. Might check this out.

Nice review Merit.

Haha I can relate to how you feel about them, but I got used to it I guess. 😅

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Thanks, Zitalove.
