Sweet and charming
mhdahl14 March 2024
If you accept the premise of this series, it could very sweet.

Yes, Yuki's character may be a bit overplayed by the actress, but I think Tae-Oh is one of the most charming characters I've seen. He's so encouraging and adorable that I melt. It's perhaps a bit too unbelievable that he ends up as an intern at Yuki's workplace - but again, if you accept the premise and view this series as very light-hearted entertainment, it can work.

I really enjoyed watching this series and loved the inclusion of Korean language, culture, and since I know some Korean myself, it was fun to hear Tae-Oh's thoughts in Korean - especially when I don't understand a word of Japanese like the other characters speak in the series.

There are far too few series out there where the main character falls in love with someone from another culture - there should be more of that, and I think this series is a sweet little contribution to that.

Super kawaii
TheodoraEh18 March 2024
This is super cute, so definitely not everyone's cup of tea. I wasn't expecting it but personally I loved the first five episodes, the rest are coming in later.

The reason why I enjoyed it so much is that basically I took it as an anime with human actors. It feels very cartoonish, how everyone's character is so exaggerated, and they all seem like cartoon characters. As well as the whole premise of being telepathic of course.

So anyways, the cuteness is exaggerated too, they have literally made the sweetest, cutest, nicest ML to ever have existed in any series, which reminds me of stuff I used to watch when I was a kid, and right now I don't mind it.

Bonus points, my two favorite languages in one series! My ears are in bliss.

For enthusiasts of romantic series
Menghi1330 March 2024
This series is for everyone who likes romantic stories as it is a sort of permanent back and forth between the CEO of "Dolce and Chocolate" Yuri and her Korean intern Taea-O. Even if at times a bit lenghty and too much forced, at some point the series grips the attention of the viewer and we want to know more about the love story of the protagonists. It might be the right thing to watch on a lonely evening as the characters are all very cute and it is easy to connect to them. Havent't we all been there when we couldn't tell someone that we have feelings?

It it not the kind of series in which the characters evolve much or in which the plot abruptly turns, but it is a cute amusement.

Good Enough
PennyReviews1 May 2024
Japanese Drama '' Eye Love You '' is a fantasy-office romance with a cute couple, but a messy fantasy story.

First of all, the love story was enjoyable. The couple had chemistry, which aided the drama a lot, and the comical misunderstandings were cute. The second couple was entertaining as well.

The office drama was also nice and the relationship between father and daughter was so sweet!

However, the fantasy element was all over the place. The drama seemed to forget about it for most of the series' length, and then, they tried to add some melodrama to it towards the ending, but they only ended up mishandling the whole affair.

Finally, the performances were great by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, six out of ten.

You need patience for this series
michaelb_mannheim6 May 2024
Warning: Spoilers
A love story in ten episodes, where a Korean blessed with infinite patience and gentleness falls in love with a Japanese woman, who can not only read minds but also possesses an extremely challenging personality. A character who fundamentally gets in the way of herself and her relationship, which she herself doesn't even recognize. Since she doesn't understand Korean, she can't understand her friend's thoughts either, and her emotional intelligence seems to be rather low due to her ability to read minds. Well, there are sweet scenes in this series and also some good acting performances, but I have rarely seen a love story so exhausting for the viewer. Those who find complicated and exhausting characters attractive can look forward to a few really annoying episodes until the big happy ending comes for everyone in the end.

Lets hope Ep. #5 doesn't become the norm for this show.
divemabini2 April 2024
This was quite an enjoyable show. Cute story. Lots of charming and interesting characters. A mildly interesting back-story.

But then episode 4 comes along, and you can start to see it....that failing of every less than stellar writer out there: The typical "Let's make the entire plot revolve around miscommunications, misperceptions, or total lack of reason." But episode 4 ends kind of meh....maybe OK.

But the transition into episode 5, which makes zero sense considering episode 4, brings all the typical tropes to the forefront. The lead, who is quirky, cute, and unsure, rapidly becomes unlikeable and annoying in her behaviors. And the writers don't help any by making the motivations behind every scene she is in justify a completely different outcome, or at least a completely different response from her.

Her actions become completely random and unfathomable that you stop caring, simply because you know she is going to say, act, or do something stupid.

I know it is only 5 episodes in, but if this show continues to revolve around using these cheap overused tricks to generate any sort of conflict (where any sane person wouldn't have any) then this show isn't going to get any better. And note that I said "sane". Sure, she has an ability that others don't know she has. But it does NOT justify her actions, and hence it becomes clear she has a serious psychological issue as well. And her traumatic back story can't, or hasn't, justified it one bit.

Again, lazy writers using lazy inconceivable interpersonal responses simply to move the plot/conflict along is just painful to watch.

Eye Don't
geewhiz4613 March 2024
Maybe this could have worked - despite the silly premise - but the FL hams it up to such an extent that your attention is distracted constantly.

She reacts to every situation with jerky head movements and over pops her eyes at every opportunity. She acts like a two year old in the cleaning up leaves scene and gets angry when she is hungry to a nonsensical degree. When she is eating she grins idiotically.

She is a terrible actress.

The story - if one can call it that - deals with the fact that although she can read the minds of others she can't read that of the ML. After first meeting him as a delivery boy - coincidence is stretched to the limit when he becomes an intern at her company.

For his part the FL is a pleasant enough character and acts with restraint and believability with the silly situation. Of course there is a third wheel in the shape of her boss who also seems to like her and a fourth one in a co-worker who is attracted to the ML.

This is candyfloss entertainment with no substance and no plausibility - don't expect anything and you wont be disappointed.

Is this it?

Warning: Spoilers
I watched this on Netflix which showed 5 episodes, unfortunately it doesn't look like the end of the story - is this all there is? If so this is a real crappy drama with one of the worst endings ever. I'm hoping there are additional episodes but Netflix still shows just 5 and IMDB.com also shows just 5 episodes so I'm wondering. The actual story is pretty good but the execution is sub-par compared to other Asian dramas, technically it's measures up but the writing does not. The FL isn't great, she is the CEO but is very timid for a CEO so lacks credibility. Many female characters in Asian dramas are written that way, especially Japanese female characters. In the 5th episode the ML confesses to the FL and asks her if she likes him, she answers no after anguishing over liking him and not being sure if he likes her for nearly the entire drama - what? Bad ending, if 5 episodes is all there is you should skip this drama, it's not worth your time.

This would fail as a story in any universe
barrytookas19 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
This started off like a cutesy drama/love story with the fantasy premise that the FL can hear peoples thoughts after some meaningless accident. The problem with this whole story is that the writers create completely unrealistic situations such as she must break up with her boyfriend as he will die if she doesn't, because some lame story book that has no real relevance to anything was written by someone who also hears voices. Apparently, and it is never explained why, a person that can hear thoughts can never be in a relationship due to the extreme danger it will bring their partner, and eventually cause their death. Everyone goes into a panic and manage to convince the FL to break up with the guy she is totally in love with because of what is in some picture book. Yeah makes complete sense, (if you are on drugs).

Every character in this drama is over acted and worse than the story lines and acting in Nickelodeon, with only the ML having some redemptive qualities.

These plot lines are so ridiculous, that I am sure the writers must deliberately set out to destroy any possible sense of a believable or credible script, either that or there are two sets of writers, one who come up with a story outline and a second set where they are not allowed to know what the first writers intended for the story plot and have to pad out the last 25-50% of the episodes without any need to adhere to a logical or realistic progression from the previous episodes. This could have been good, not great but good, instead it leave the viewer feeling like they have been treated like a gullible fool for witching to the end.
