Recently I haven’t really enjoyed any romcom. The new Kdramas just didn’t seem to work for me. Anyway, I spent Oct and most of Nov watching Gilmore girls and for some reason I had a feeling that I wanted to watch Bo ra! Deborah…I had only seen some of its scenes on Instagram.

5 things I liked about Bo ra! Deborah
Deborah’s fashion choices.. Everything she wore complimented her so well. That is, apart from the nails she has when she turns down her ex. Those nails were not up to the mark.
Soo Hyuk’s actions. He might not say much but his actions really spoke for him.
The radio show. Though you do not see much of it, it is well made and I love the confidence and way of narration and communication on the show.
Yang Jin Ho’s entry. It is really cool. I think his bold character fizzled down one episode at a time.
U ri’s character.
Things I did not like about Bo ra! Deborah
The relationship between Lee Yu Jung and her husband Yang Jin Woo. Made no sense to me. Maybe it will make sense to others.
The whole pregnancy angle. It is something so common in Kdramas that irresponsible adults become parents and go ahead with marriage etc. It was not needed here. They could have shown character growth by getting those two better jobs, more stability etc.
The team at JinLee publishing house. I mean why do people have to be so toxic. They were not nice to their boss or to their co-workers. Hiring should be done based on “culture fit” parameter.
That’s it.
If you are looking for something romantic, sweet and comic, go for it.
