I need a scene where Sian is all happy about Ryan learning his entire biography and everything about him thinking he looked it all up just because they are brothers

Drama: Her Private Life (2019)

Starring: Park Min Young, Kim Jae Wook, Ahn Bo Hyun

Rating: ★★★★☆

I thought this drama was quite cute. There we moments that I definitely smiled at and squirmed-- hopeful that I would one day have a relationship that cute. However, the drama moved a bit slow for me and there were new conflicts appearing right and left and therefore, I felt as if the drama was being dragged out longer than needed. To be honest, if the main conflict of the drama revolved around him finding his mom then I feel like it would’ve been more “organized” in a sense. However, there were the love interest conflicts with Sung Deok Mi and Eun Gi, as well as between Ryan Gold and Artist Choi-Da In. 

Besides these issues, I thought the drama was pretty good. I would recommend it to someone who doesn’t want to get attached to a drama... haha because we’re all going back to school soon if you catch my flow. This is the type of drama that you wouldn’t feel compelled to binge-watch in a day, and instead can space it out for an episode a day. 

Now let’s dive into some of my favorite moments from the drama:

1) Their First Kiss... Or so you thought.

OMG THIS MOMENT KILLED ME. When he kissed her I was so taken aback. But then you see Cindy standing a building away with her camera. And then you see his freaking finger there and he’s kissing his finger -_-

The director really knows how to play with our emotions :(

2) Their Confession... and then the steamy makeout session hahahah

SOMEONE TURN ON THE A/C. IT’S GETTING HOTTTTT IN HERE ;)

3) It’s so funny when he wants to go in for a kiss but she’s just drunken coffee. 

HER FACE IS WHAT GOT ME (HAHAHAHAHA)

and his response: no biggie. just rinse your mouth. i still want to kiss you hahah

4) OMG THIS MOMENT KILLED ME TOO. When Eun Gi finally found his balls to tell Deon Mi that he liked her, but it was too late. And then while he was hyping himself up for the big moment she was with the Director and having a super cute moment :(

Forehead kiss...

Nose kiss...

Lip kiss... THIS IS TOO CUTE <3

5) And lastly, this couple right here. When Sun Joo and her husband made up (or when she gave him another chance) I awed out loud. They’re so cute and I feel like their relationship is so underrated. But also can we talk about how cute their child is?!??! 

6) And lastly, the proposal was so cute. He spoke in terms of his art and she spoke in terms of her fangirling-ness? Even though that’s not a word LOL

HER PRIVATE LIFE FINAL REVIEW SPOILERS DUHHH

 Let me start with, THEIR CHEMISTRY OMG THEIR CHEMISTRY IS ON FIRE HERE!!! All those who watched the drama, let’s admit it we stayed for deok mi and ryan. Its been a while since I’ve shipped a couple so bad because I’m not really the type to ship actors together, the last i felt that was with bo young and ye jae wook in a poem a day.

Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way let me just talk about some negatives first. I didn’t like eungi, no offence to bo hyun, i don’t think he’s neccesarily a bad actor but the script really didn’t do him justice. It was as if the writer threw eungi in just because they needed a jealous second male lead to make the leads fall in love or something. Its actually really uneccesary, the only redeeming factor about eungi is the fact that he didn’t actually really get super angry once deok mi was like “i dont like you” and he moved on slowly but eventually and I liked the way he made friends with dain, but ultimately dain’s character felt like a plot device as well though she did seem more 3 dimensional compared to eungi even though eungi got more screentime.

Another thing I didn’t particularly like was also the ending. I didnt actually hate the angst that much especially the one with ryan’s mom i think that was well written for what it was but why is there always that stupid childhood connection thing, it could have worked if it was more mentioned in passing but i found it weird that deok mi somehow never remembered deok su for all these years in her life and she never questioned that void in her memory before as well. But she moved on abit too quickly for my liking , yes deok su has been dead for very long, but it just didnt feel right to see her move on so quickly. More specifically about the ending was NOOOOO I WANTED SIAN TO KNOW THAT DEOK MI WAS RTS that would have been so much fun to see sian most likely fanboying over her and just that would have made my inner fangirl very happy.

Last thing, while cindy was more or less just foil at the beginning that was the character that had the redemption arc or development arc of the show it just felt abit weird to me that she moved on from being a sasaeng fan so quickly like i thought that would be a thing for a while but she kind of just stopped. Which i thought could have been further explored since this is afterall a drama about FANGIRLS, it would have been niced if she was somehow tied back to it maybe appearing on accident in the PD’s documentary that got him kicked out of the house.

Now on to the good parts

Firstly PMY and KJW stylist’s deserve a payraise with their outfits like their couple outfits were so pretty, it wasn’t directly matching but they complemented each other really well. And that scene where he proposed both of them were wearing all white which was amazinggg!! and speaking of style UM SO HYE style was just ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh mazing in a weird funny unique yet somehow stylish way.

and also can i say how much i love seon joo and seung min like that couple is soooooooooo cute tooo, the way they fought, the way they made up felt much more real and sort of served as a grounding point to prevent the very very fluffy main couple from actually being overly fluffy plus i liked that ju hyeok got abit of a story line, i thought he was just going to be a comic character breaking cups but he actually wasn’t and isit just me or did he stop breaking cups by the end of the last episode?

The paintings are also really good someone please tell me who painted them cause i think the art style is really pretty.

All in All, i started the drama because of the fangirl but the only reason i completed the drama was because of the chemistry between the cast, the writing itself was nothing amazing, maybe average or even below average but the way music was used and the directing as well as editing especially in the earlier episodes helped to make me hold on to this drama and finish it!

If you read this far thanks for reading a rant until next time!

Her Private Life did a really good job at casting Cha Sian because yeah that’s an idol. That’s an idol face. Yeah I’d coo at his pictures. I’d put a poster of him up on my wall. I’d kill a man for barricade tickets. I’d giggle if he smiled at me. That’s the most idol-looking idol I’ve ever seen.

I had to look the actor up and I had no idea that he actually debuted with Kim Samuel a while back.
