"Love Revolution" by Seo Joo-wan Review: A Meeting of Fate

avatar

Intro

I have watched a lot of teen romance movies and TV series but none of them made me feel like a teenager. But when I watched "Love Revolution" it made me remember my teenage days and it made me feel teenager once again. It was during the pandemic that I started watching this series and got addicted to it.

Narrative

The narrative of this first episode of the series is all about the cute and cheesy struggle of a high schooler to talk to another high schooler girl from his school. It is also a very teeny series that started on the right foot, giving the viewer a very teeny vibe that is set in a high school environment.

Thoughts

At first, I noticed that the background music used in the first scene of this episode is very likable and very light and makes you feel very light. The ambiance is also very very clear (all details of the surroundings are very clear). The background music used in the introduction of the characters is also kind of cute and perfectly fits the teen vibe of the scene.

The first meeting of the main characters of this episode is unexpected to me since I never thought that they meet just under two minutes into the first episode of the series. The use of the drawing is brilliant to make the main male character think that the girl (see image below) he met while moving to a new apartment is "destiny".

Then a funny scene comes and I actually looking forward to a teen romance whenever I watch one. The funny scene is probably the first time that I have seen it in a series or a movie. I must say that the scene may be simple but it perfectly captures a situation that can only happen between teens (see image below).

Another unexpected scene that I have seen in this first episode is the group pose (see image below) of all the high school friends of the series and I must admit that all four of them are kind of cute. They all have their own personality and looks. I also noticed that the clothes used in this first episode are very casual but still very classy.

I also would like to add that the style of introduction of the characters of this series is also kind of cute (see the image below when the main female character was introduced). I have actually seen a lot of this style of introducing a character in movies and series but still, this series made it a lot more artistic than those of the previous that I have seen.

This series perfectly shows how a male high schooler behaves when he is so shy to talk to a girl that he obviously. The acting of the main male character is cute and is much like that of a typical high school boy today who is very full of shyness.

There's also this stalker thing in the singer which makes me remember when one of my friends used to stalk a girl once and then he didn't do it again even once. The stalker scenes of this episode are very cute as the male protagonists once dived to avoid being caught and also hid behind a wall so that the girl he is stalking is not going to see him.

The scene where one of the supporting male characters breathes on one of their friends is kind of hilarious which also makes me remember when one of my classmates did it once.

Another cheesy scene that I like very much in this first episode is when Wang Ja Rim run and then only hides on a wall so that she can catch Gong Jo Yeong red-handed that he is actually stalking her. As she successfully catches him by surprise he attempts to run away but she apprehends her by grabbing his backpack and pins him to the wall to which he has no choice but the divulge that he is only following her because he wants to pay her back for the bus fare she paid for him a few days ago. The scene is so cute and unexpected to me because I think it is the first time that I have seen such a scene. The shyness of the protagonist is also very cheesy as he shows that he has a liking for her.

When he handed her the envelope containing the payment of the bust fare a few days ago I expected that she would giggle if she was going to see it. Instead, she immediately used it to pay for her bus fare that day.

After what has happened on the bus fare payment I have no idea what will happen next. Guessing what will happen next actually makes me very excited and interested in what I am watching which is good because it is usually what I am looking for a movie or a series to get me interested in watching.

The scenes inside the classroom are also a perfect imitation of a high school environment where you can see a lot of things that should not be happening like a student sleeping and some students that are having fun with one of their friends. When it comes to the boys in high school this episode perfectly captures what boy are doing on their classroom and in case of the girl this series also perfectly captures how girls behave inside a classroom when there is no professor around.

Conclusion

All in all this series is so fresh. It perfectly captures a high school environment and it perfectly captures how a boy would react and behave when it comes to the girl they like most of all this series did a great job in portraying how boys (high school boys would behave when they are with their friends). If you are feeling lonely this is perfect for you as it bring out your teen self.
