KBS drama “Lovely Horribly 러블리 호러블리” ended its run on a low key but sweet note last night. In my eyes, for a drama of such high calibre, it was probably the most under-rated and under appreciated Korean drama this year. And I am not mincing my words.
Having seen Park Sihoo-ssi’s superb acting skills in the past and how much care he takes to choose his every work, I had high expectations when it came to “Lovely Horribly 러블리 호러블리”. And I was not disappointed!
This time, his Philip Yu and the drama itself far exceeded my expectations on every count, with the exception of the audience rating that left many of us bewildered.
Park Sihoo-ssi’s brilliant portray of Philip Yu left a strong impression of this top star. A good study of human nature, accentuated by his own creativity and presentation, with an over-exaggeration at times though not overwhelming unnatural, he showed us the multi-facets of Philip.
The lovable, the coward, the obnoxious, the caring, the unforgiving, the ruthless, the determined, the sensing, the sacrificial, the comic, the man with pride…so many different aspects of Philip played to perfection! His facial expressions alone were priceless, each an interesting study, and especially when they can change in an instant from one extreme to another….engagingly superb!
The success of a drama of course does not hinge on just one person but of the team. From co-stars to other actors to the cast and crew, to the writer and the director…every one plays a role. Prima donnas just don’t fit! The chemistry of this “Lovely Horribly 러블리 호러블리” team was evident and what made the different parts of the drama gel and gel so well.
No doubt there were issues and problems…which production does not? It is just a matter of what the press picked up, what they blew out of proportion and how cohesive and co-operative the team is in managing them and their desire to deliver a good drama together. And the “Lovely Horribly 러블리 호러블리” team delivered, so beautifully!
Together, they have given us, their audience, an incredibly enjoyable drama that they can be proud of and stand tall. A well written, performed and produced drama that can rival any Korean production this year. So refreshing the genre and so un-Korean in its production technique and standard. So well done!
Our deepest appreciation to Team “Lovely Horribly!” Million thanks for the wonderful times, the joy and sorrow, the laughter and the fear, the highs and the lows! Please take a bow to your applauding audience! Let’s do it again, soon!
Our deepest appreciation! We love you!
可爱恐惧:最深切的赞赏
KBS电视剧“可爱恐惧 Lovely Horribly 러블리 호러블리”昨晚低调但甜蜜的结束了。在我看来,这么一部高水准的电视剧,可能是今年最被低估的韩剧。真的非常的异态。
看过施厚君过去精湛的表演技巧以及他选择作品的特别关心,我对“可爱恐惧 Lovely Horribly 러블리 호러블리”寄予了厚望。从都到尾,这部剧没有令我失望!
这一次,施厚君的刘弼立和这部电视剧本身远远超出了我的预期,除了收视率让许多人感到困惑。
施厚君对刘弼立的精彩描绘给这位顶级明星留下了深刻的印象。他对人性有很好的研究和把握,用自己的创造力和表现力去演角色,不会过于夸张到不自然,但他精致的展示了弼立的多面貌。
可爱的,胆小的,讨厌的,关怀的,无情的,坚定的,感觉的,牺牲的,喜剧的,骄傲的男人…..弼立的许多不同方面都发挥得栩栩如生!他的面部表情本身是无价的,每一个表情都是一项有趣的研究,特别是当他可以一杀那,180度的从一个极端变到另一个极端……非常的棒!
电视剧的成功当然不仅取决于一个人,而是取决于团队。从演员,工作人员,到作家和导演……每个人都扮演着一个角色。 Prima donnas 自我离群的态度是不适合的!这个“可爱恐惧 Lovely Horribly 러블리 호러블리”团队的化学反应非常明显,是使电视剧凝胶和凝胶得特别好的原因之一。
毫无疑问的是这剧也存在问题……但,哪个剧的制作没有呢?大小,是媒体所汲取的内容,他们如何去炒爆炸新闻。只要团队管理好,凝聚力和合作的去决绝事情,一起有着共同创造好的电视剧的愿望。“可爱恐惧 Lovely Horribly 러블리 호러블리”的团队做到了,而做得非常的精彩!
他们一起给了我们观众一个令人愉快和有趣的电视剧。他们可以为此感到自豪和高高在上。这是一部精心编写,表演和制作的电视剧,可以与今年的任何韩国制作的电视剧相媲美,不管是制作技术和标准,都让人耳目一新。干得太好了!
我非常感谢“可爱恐惧 Lovely Horribly 러블리 호러블리”的团队!感谢给我门这段美好的时光,欢乐与悲伤,欢笑与恐惧,高潮与低谷!请向拍掌的观众鞠躬致敬!希望很快再有机会观看类似的佳作!
我们爱你们!

May all of thevcharacters in this drama achieve the best in their life
💝💝💝👏👏👏這套是我十分滿意的施厚剧!📺🌟
I also have hoped that oppa could choose a strong plot after so many years and also after my golden life but after drama finished every one said that drama was such a mess it really broke my heart after i know their idea i really hope that in near future oppa can choose a better drama .
@ftemeh96 For me personally, he chose well. I love Lovely Horribly because it is refreshing and thought provoking. One needs to think about the plot and to want to be challenged to appreciate it. I am already going to watch it again from the very beginning and I see myself appreciating it even more. I don’t know who you heard from that says the drama is a mess…I certainly have heard and seen only good feedback among the real viewers. The negatives I read was a few press articles that called it a “humiliation” because of the 1% rating for one of the episodes…this, I totally do not agree and shall address it in an article shortly.
As for me.. lovely horribly has it own strengths and maybe abit weaknesses but it has veeb covered well by the actors. As Song Ji Hyo fan I feel very pleased to see her first time acting like that.I never knew who is Park Si Hoo.. Slowly I start to like him when looking at his acting. No wonder he was chose as the best and great actor before this.Everything about his acting is superb for me.. His facial expression, his speech..I could understand and feel it very well.He is THE best!!!!!! As for my darling Unnie Ji hyo, she also look so sincere.. And personally looking at her acting with Si Hoo Oppa,I feel like they are not acting.. Feel like it’s real. The genre of this drama is very good. The writer of this drama indeed are good at putting my emotions flow very well with it. I love Ji hyo Unnie, Si Hoo Oppa and all the characters in this drama. Thanks again to the crews of LOVELY HORRIBLY @ LOVEY-LOVEY@ ROBBILEE HORROVELY.. or whatever the name is.. I really wish and hope in the future my beloves Ji hyo unnie and Si Hoo Oppa will acts together again in the future and may god bless them with good health and happiness.❤️❤️❤️ I hope also IF they COULD BE A REAL COUPLE in real life it will be aa great bonus for us as tgeir fan. 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
@parksihoossi totally agree with your comments! Having followed and loved every of Park Si Hoo’s past dramas I know he has the knack to choose well on which drama to act in. He just doesn’t want to be an eye candy and is daring to venture into new genres to push his acting talent to the next level of excellence. So I have very high expectations for Lovely Horribly! And my I am completely satisfied with the outcome. From beginning to end enthralled by the many aspects of this classy top calibre K drama. So yes I am equally mystified with the response from the Korean viewers; not sure if it’s due to its infamous pressure cooker society and they continue to crave for entertainment that appeals to the eye and does not require thinking. Perhaps that’s why there are some amongst them who even have the audacity to give the description “ messy”. Shame on those who say so and huge humiliation on those with negative comments on this drama. And to the cast and crew, they can stand very tall. We on behalf of all international viewers are proud of every one of them for the creativity, hard work, professionalism and talent poured into making LH. We salute them all!
I feel that it is good plot and good drama that i never touch before. I do not care rating as it can test that drama is better this drama .
@marktawee yes the litmus test for a great drama is always when viewers are engaged with the story because it’s rich and thick in plot and are willing to think intelligently on how the plot will unravel with each episode and participate in joining the dots to come to the possible outcomes —- this is what refreshingly unique LH has achieved, for discerning viewers, and will continue to do for those yearning to follow a good story. My prediction is LH will do well in international markets— to viewers with good taste
@cassaurelius it’s a common feedback – those who don’t know Park Si Hoo, even those who are fans of his leading ladies – end up enthralled with his expressive talents and acting skills. And end up as his fans. It’s my humble view – he’s one of the best K actors around, if not the very best! 😊
@dorothyooi I’m Ji Hyo unnie’s fan, then now Park Shi Hoo’s fan 😊😊😊 Really want them to work together again.
