fantastic in every way!!

rollercoaster of bizarre mix of tragic and comic but charming〜 only K-drama seems able to capture this mix of comic and tragic, light and serious in each episode。as it goes on it goes far from original idea of going into dreams with all kinds of scenarios crossing between afterlife and life and the back stories of main characters and their soul relations that adds interest〜what a fantastic finale:I had to watch last two episodes together and really did not see all that coming and I am happy with the ending〜and unlike some K-drama this was very well-judged length not too drawn out to lose the tension and fascination with the drama 〜I thought I saw Yook Sung Jae's cute face before and of course it was in Goblin!look forward to more by these lead actors *(*´∀`*)☆

Basically korean version of yorozuya

contains of 3 mebers with their own characteristics and role in the team.
some people might complain about main cast character development. but honestly their character development is actually the best so far than any msystic problem solving korean dramas i ever watched.

its not about how you solve the current problems. but its about how those you helped will proceed in their life/afterlife after it.
the concept is like "only you that can save yourself, what we give is just a single little push and some extra hands if you ever need it". love it

Captivating

I had no expectations in the beginning. I only started watching this drama because of the lead actress since I loved all of her dramas but man did the story capture me along with the whole other cast. It’s a beautiful drama that keeps you interested on what to happen next. I was eager to watch each and every episode. It made me smile, cry, laugh and definitely took me by surprise at times. The director and the editors did an amazing job too. It’s one of the very few dramas I’m genuinely willing to rewatch.

It was fine. It was warm, zany, short and sweet, and a little bit mediocre. I will say that I enjoyed it more the more I watched it. I really love Choi Won Young for some reason, so that was my motivation for starting the show. The structure is "case of the week" with an overarching plot that takes over near the end. I felt like there was too much foreshadowing for me. It was heavy on the dramatic irony, which made me pretty frustrated. So while I don't feel like it was a waste of time, it's not one of my favorites.

the story is very very simple. this was better as a binge, tbh I don't think I'd have given it a chance higher than the 1st four eps and I'd have dropped it if I watched it as it aired, but it was also not as engaging as I'd have hoped. it got better by eps4-6 but as soon as it got it's footing it was so obvious how their "big picture" was going to turn out that I lost interest in the plot.

the side plots were related to the big picture, each case reflected Wol Joo's own situation and concerns but they were somewhat really flat, idk, it was hard to connect to the side stories? though the messages were great and really inspirational, but they just felt too fleeting?

I know, I might be complaining too much so one would wonder why the high rating, but something the review ratings doesn't cover is the characters, their relationships and their depths.
the 3 mains had a really sweet chemistry and I highly enjoyed their bickering and "grudge" fights and I wished they'd have tried to make them a little more active outside the pop up bar, I know that was their home base but I wanted more action (and I don't mean fighting)
and even though their family bond was sweet I kinda wish they weren't related and just found comfort in each other regardless of the destiny makjang move "he's your long lost son/love" ;D

the best part for me was Kang Yeo Rin who's going to join my favorite female characters list, she was refreshing, independent, smart and always made the 1st move ❤ and I loved their chemistry, Kang Bae truly deserves the "sweet male lead" tag though I wish they focused more on them ;)

which makes me wonder, are romances better in non romance dramas because they focus on them less, so the "chase" is longer and there's no space for misunderstandings and inevitable breakups?

HWJ was slightly as overreacting as ever, but since this was a comedy it kinda fit the vibes well and I wish she'd act in another drama with Choi Won Young minus the long lost lovers theme ;D I want a pure secret like makjang


the OSTs were nice enough and I never rewatch stuff

cute but frustrating

I love most shows/movies SIG is in, and this is one of them but them disapearing and leaving eachother was very frustrating.
The ending felt a little unfinished, I wish we could see more of their relationship bloom, and I would have wanted to see more of the side couple's relationship.
But honestly this drama was super sweet, I think a lot of people could relate to MC, it was an emotional watch, especially if you've suffered from an illness yourself, both SIG and MC portrayed their emotions extremely well, and this has become one of my comfort shows.

A spirit who settles grudges

Ahhh this is the best drama trust me. If you have watched goblin, death game or tomorrow. You sure are going to love it. For me it was very good. It has fun elements it was so so emotional like u really have to cry in every episode, laugh like crazy in every episode too. It was a mix of bitter sweet. The stories were so good.

The fact that they presented social issues in the series were so good. The relationship with parents were also so good.

Its so funny because yook song was just suffering in this drama and was neglected in goblin too. But his character was so kind humble and patient in the whole series.

A trama se desenrola de maneira dinâmica e rápida, ganhou meu coração neste primeiro semestre

Esse trio dinâmico e entrosado começa apresentando um drama engraçado, algumas cenas até meio caricatas, mas com tempo vai se tornando mais reflexico, sem perder o ar comédia.
O entrosamento dos personagem e a relação que eles vão estabelendo é incrivel e a evolução é nitida em cada episodio, assim como o amadurecimento de cada um e da relação entre eles.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Podia falar de vários aspectos que chamaram atenção nesse dorama, mas escolhi trazer pra vcs algumas mensagem e reflexões que me marcaram:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
>O resentimento te aprisiona: em alguns episódios isso é mostrado através da mágoas dos mortais que precisa da ajuda do trio. Também é abordado nos problemas individuais dos protagonistas.

>Perdoar a si mesmo: as aventuras envolvidas em cada mágoa abordava o autoconhecimento, aceitação e o perdoar-se, para então se consolidar no exterior toda mundaça e ação que fosse necessária.

> Importância de se ter alguém para conversar e como isso ajuda na saúde mental: acredito fortemente que essa tenha sido uma das mensagens mais centrais do drama. Ter alguém para se abrir, aliviar suas dores. Elas nem sempre teram a solução, nas maioria das vezes isso dependerá de vc, de suas ações, mas o ato de falar com alguém te alivia e te auxilia a enxergar a vida de forma mais leve, ver uma luz no fim do túnel.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Milagres acontecem todos os dias. O milagre de estar vivo. O milagre de ter alguém ao seu lado. E... o milagre de poder beber alguma coisa junto com essa pessoa" Weol Joo

a trama se desenrola de maneira dinâmica e rápida que ganhou meu coração neste primeiro semestre, concorrendo seriamente a ficar nos meus TOP 2020 pelas reflexivas mensagem e algumas boas risadas.
_⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ps: o último episódio foi corrido demais, mas não atrapalhou a lindeza do drama.

Um drama perfeito.

Esse drama foi simplesmente perfeito em todos os sentidos. Emocionante e engraçado na medida certa, cada história era comovente e te fazia se apegar a cada personagem, os protagonistas eram envolventes e ver a evolução de cada um ao longo dos episódios foi incrível.

Cada um teve seu momento e até os secundários brilhavam em certos pontos, te fazendo torcer e se apegar a cada um desses, sejam os do pós-vida, do supermercado ou alguém que precisava da ajuda do bar.

A amizade, as histórias de mágoa de cada um, e o sentido de família desse drama fez com que ele entrasse para minha lista de favoritos.

¡Imperdible!

"El místico bar efímero" es de esos dramas que son "joyitas ocultas", ya les digo los motivos.


Primero (y en mi opinión, en punto más fuerte de este drama), es la historia. ES BRILLANTE. Si bien, el tema de reencarnaciones, fantasmas, etc. No es algo del todo nuevo (muy visto en Goblin, por ejemplo), pero Bar Efímero las cosas avanzaban a un buen ritmo, no creo que hubiera capítulos de más ó menos, sino los exactos y en cada uno te dejaba un aprendizaje (el perdonar, el arrepentimiento, etc.) y además poco a poco a poco había un desarrollo de personajes que siempre que terminaba cada capítulo me ponía a pensar una serie de teorías en mi cabeza que siempre me daba esta sensación de intriga de querer saber más.

El cast es otro de los puntos positivos del drama, la química entre los 3 actores principales es muy buena, basta con ver uno o dos capítulos para verlo y eso es algo que agradezco, no siempre tengo la fortuna de encontrar casos así.

En la música me hubiera gustado que las canciones OST, hubieran aparecido un poco más entre las escenas pero por puro capricho personal, ya que así hubieran brillado un poco más, sin embargo estos fueron un poco compensados por los sonidos divertidos que se agregaron.

Como comentario final "EMBE" es un drama que necesita ser más apreciado por todos, sobre todo por las actuaciones y lo brillante que fue la escritora al acomodar todas las "piezas del rompecabezas" de la historia de una forma tan justa. Este drama es tan entretenido que fácilmente volvería ver, para poder apreciar pequeños detalles y analizar a fondo las enseñanzas de cada capítulo. Y por supuesto que pasa a mi lista de favoritos sin duda, definitivamente una historia de fantasía muy recomendable para maratonear que trae un bello mensaje. Imperdible.

Quando soube sobre este dorama hesitei a ver nem sei porque, mas não me arrependo de ter dado uma chance. Ele tem um estilo Hotel del luna e há comédia, mas as estórias tocantes que me envolveram.

Os mistérios que vão aparecendo trazem mais curiosidade, em certo momento tenta te enganar, mas mesmo caso descubra, ele te faz continuar vendo para entender como tudo aconteceu.

Sempre fico impressionada quando vejo algo que rompe a quarta barreira, o personagem conversado com quem está assistindo como se estivesse lá, aqui foi usado em momentos perfeitos.

O final foi emocionante e fofo, não senti falta de nada, foi muito bem construído e tudo foi resolvido e explicado.

Apesar da resenha ser pequena, eu realmente amei, mas sendo curto, seu único defeito aliás, acho que a graça de conhecer os personagens aos poucos pode ser perdida. Então apenas digo que vale muito apenas o dá uma chance.

Un très bon moment de fou rire

Si je devais donner autant d'étoiles, cela serait surtout grâce à Hwang Jung Eum et Choi Won Young ! Ils ont été magnifiques et tellement drôle.
Hwang Jung Eum est une actrice que j'aime beaucoup et elle prouve encore ici tout son talent. Son débit de paroles est toujours aussi impressionnant, si ce n'est plus. En mode bad ass, elle en jette. Elle n'a pas été autant sexy et méchante que IU dans "Hotel Del Luna" mais, suffisamment pour nous scotcher pendant toute la durée du visionnage.

J'ai été encore plus impressionnée par Choi Won Young qui nous avait habitué à des rôles de vilain et de psychopathe pas très sympathique. Ici, on adhère totalement à son personnage. Drôle, émouvant avec cette petite touche de bad boy quand il sort son épée (trop stylée ! s'est exclamé mon fils). Un personnage qui nous aura donc beaucoup touché.
Je trouve peut-être dommage que les couples formés ne soient pas à la hauteur du drama. Les couples ne sont pas fades mais ils sont loin d'être "effets papillons dans le ventre".

Kang Bae est un personnage attachant et un peu maladroit mais j'avoue que je ne l'ai pas trouvé exceptionnel. Et c'est un peu dommage qu'on ait pu voir un tout petit peu de son pouvoir (à la fin). Pourquoi nous mettre des personnages qui ont un pouvoir qui déchire si ce n'est pour "l'activer" que pendant 30 secondes sur un seul épisode...(Hum, cela me fait penser à Novoland Eagles Flag...). Sa douce moitié Yeo Rin est un peu à son image. Attachante. Mais je ne me suis pas prise au jeu. Ce fut d'ailleurs le cas avec tous les autres personnages secondaires. Sympathiques mais pas inoubliables. Et je trouve que c'est le défaut de ce drama. Les deux personnages principaux, Wol Joo et Chef Gwi, sont vraiment fantastiques mais pas le reste de l'équipe. Cela n'empêche nullement de regarder le drama avec plaisir bien sur, de rire et de se poser des questions sur la trame principale. N'hésitez pas à vous lancer dans cette série, un scénario alléchant, des personnages attachants et un happy ending (suivez mon regard "Hotel Del Luna" !) vous permettra de passer un bon moment.
