Não só de um romance fofo se vive.
Tenho muito o que falar sobre "Nosso eterno verão" mas serei breve. O drama apresenta o romance de uma forma diferente da qual o público está normalmente acostumado, o que poderia ter sido ruim, mas pelo contrário, trouxe as emoções, os sentimentos e as ações de maneira humana, profunda e complexa. Os personagens também tão complexos e muitas vezes frustrantes, eram puros e imprevisíveis. Alguns momentos senti o drama um tico arrastado mas não atrapalhou tanto no ritmo. Our beloved summer é calmo e ao mesmo tempo intenso. Se aprofunda nos protagonistas de maneira que podemos sentir suas dores, aflições e paixões. Recomendo para quem gosta de roteiros sensíveis e poéticos.Was this review helpful to you?
Our Beloved Summer Review - ZyKuu
"A documentary that reunites two exes" - The story was special in it's angled approach, I loved the actors, it was one of the most balanced and talented casts I've seen and I enjoyed everyone's role. Both main leads Choi-ung and Yeon-su were perfect and had great chemistry. I loved their personalities as individuals and relationship dynamic. The second and third couples were interesting in their own regard as they had different dynamics. One critique I have revolves around the relationship between Ji-ung and his mother, as the unexplained animosity did not make sense to me. Besides that, I admired the relationship Choi-ung had with his parents along with Yeon-su and her grandma. The show is funny and excels in the romance department. Overall the acting was superb and the OST was nice. I took my time watching this series and one thing I know for sure is that this show will go down as a classic.Was this review helpful to you?
This series is a warm blanket around you, keeping you warm in a cold winter.
How difficult love can be sometimes! How many misunderstandings can we tolerate in one single life? It's insane how many were in this series. This series may have a slow pace during some episodes, but we can not expect something to happen in every second of it.I was overwhelmed by this, because I saw myself in them. Sometimes we expect a lot from some people, and we realize that we never told them what we wanted in the first place.
I can resume this series as follows: misunderstandings (a lot), lack of communication (both), falling in love, second chances, and resilience.

I FEEL GOOD!!!
*sigh* "ahhh...that was good"It's not that often I am left feeling like this after watching a drama, where I just feel satisfied with everything. A simple shift in perspective and mindset made a life of turmoil produce the beauty of spring, the warmth of summer, the comfort of winter, and the renewal of autumn.
Learn life, live life, feel life and rinse and repeat. This drama taught of the gifts life brings both in the good and bad times. We may not always see the beauty in the pain or peace in happiness but with time and change, we will learn to grow and overcome.
This is what this drama shows, through the cast, production, soundtrack, visuals and narration. Life may not be perfect but some moments make it worth living.

Both witty and touching.
A gentle, reflective and quite tender story of opposites attracting and squabbling their way to romance.It is pretty slow paced; some might find it dull, but personally, I didn't. It is realistic, based on their lifestyles. Some very funny and touching parts.
Great casting. Maybe it's me, but perhaps having worked together on The Witch Pt1: The Subversion, made a difference, because Choi Woo-shik (Woong) and Kim Da Mi (Yeon-soo) just clicked. It felt like a real relationship ~ very believable.
Her character could be intense and irritating, but the foundations of her personality become clearer with each episode and I went from not being keen, to really liking her. Dry, assertive and great expressions.
He was a perfect fit for the talented, humble, simple and uncomplicated loner, Woong.
Woong's parents were a delight, their relationship is definitely a couple goal!
Lots of nice supporting characters (and cast), with no real nasties, but some sad circumstances that lead to irrevocable hurt that's carried into later life.
There is a love triangle, but it doesn't exactly take centre stage and, again, is quite realistic. It doesn't make the person mean or vindictive. Friendship remains both important and intact.
Allowing others to make their own decisions, without assuming our own valuations of self-worth are shared, comes over strongly in this too.
If we are satisfied and happy personally, that is enough and should not be benchmarked by the aspirations or desires of others (peers, family or anyone).
I liked that both MCs had struggled to reach their more successful adult selves. Slowly opening up and becoming honest with one another and themselves.
The final episode was my favourite. Everything really came together and several moments had me reaching for tissues. It amusingly came full circle in many ways.
Lovely.

slow but sometime fast, comedy romance
quite good, the story seem very slow and little boring but sometimes it feels fast, both leads did their bestand I think maybe this drama is more suitable if the episodes are reduced by a few for example 12 eps? 16 eps is too long
at first I was hesitant to start, sorry but I don't think FL looks beautiful in the profile pic, because there is no drama I tried, and in the drama she looks prettier ,,sometimes the feeling of the cast we got after watching it also for OST,, , and I quite enjoyed it even though it seemed slow I just had to speed up the playspeed,
before this drama I had dropped some boring dramas and didn't meet other dramas, even anime

everything good except main male character
thank God for all the supporting cast and the FL! otherwise I would have stopped watching. as it was I fast forwarded every scene when the ML was alone. I have never seen a more morose, self absorbed, and ultimately odious character in any K-drama. and the "explanation" at the end was lame. all imho of course. many others disagree with me. vive la difference! and as I mentioned, worth a watch as every other character was great, and fast forward on Netflix is fantastic. btw, no problems with the lead actor. the writing was the problem.Was this review helpful to you?
A gentle touch to your heart
I strongly believe that showing true emotions should be the main concern of any love story. Can you tell if someone is in love if they don't say a word? If they just stood there looking at each other, would you tell if that was true love?Luckily, this was the main goal of this show: to bring you into the perspective of someone who is in love with their complete opposite. As cliché as it may sound, opposites do attract each other in most cases.
Of course, there were things that could have been fixed in order to make this truly masterful piece of a love story. For example, the secondary characters are not really relatable, and sometimes you may even feel bored by them. But when the two main characters were put together in the same frame, you immediately forgot about everything else, and you were driven into a wonderful place, and you wish with all your heart that this kind of love happened to you at least once.
The soundtrack of this show is now in my top 10. So I can't really praise it that much without looking like a fan, but I do have to say that it was perfectly matched with some scenes, which resulted in them being engraved in my memory.

Incredibly Well Done - But Not a RomCom
I don’t have a lot to add beyond what other reviewers have already said. But I’d thought I’d make a few points to perhaps make it easier for folks to make a decision to watch, or not.This series is not a RomCom. While there are comedic moments, most of the time this is more of a drama. There is lot of sadness as things don’t go well for the main couple. The picture on the movie's page makes the couple look super happy. This was not the case for many episodes.
Having said that, there are quite a few positives aspects to the story. For example the ML’s family is a very positive storyline (with some backstory, or course).
The storyline is intricate and well crafted. The different threads weave seamlessly together and come together well at the end.
The acting is really good. I think this was a tough assignment for the actors, but they pulled it off so well. I’d also call out the casting as superb.
I think I could point out a few things I would like to have seen come together a bit differently, but that does not at affect my recommendation. Despite the fact I thought this might not be my cup of tea:
If you OK with a story that some might consider a bit “slow” and that is not very happy a lot of time, then by all means watch this series. It is well done, well acted, and quite touching. I give it a 9/10 rating.

A warm hug of a drama to provide comfort this winter
Initially I wasn't planning to write a review but GOD this is so good.Ep 6 had me crying, screaming, throwing up so let's get into it.
Storyline:
It sets such a different tone to the drama as a whole. The whole idea of ex-lovers uniting after 10 years to reshoot a documentary is so fresh but it had me questioning how it would realistically be possible to convince them to do it. The drama explains it perfectly and additionally makes it entertaining. There are a lot of tropes (it's a romcom what else would you expect) but it's used so perfectly, that it doesn't make you cringe or make it seem 'ordinary'. The main characters are beautifully written, making you sympathize with them for their circumstances and decisions. Yeonsoo is your cold, logical female protagonist who makes small gestures to her loved ones, completely opposite when you compare her with Ung who is laid-back, impulsive and sensitive (in the best way possible). It's so so enjoyable to watch them banter. Kim sungcheol's Jiung is a wonderful character who's personality falls in the middle of both Yeonsoo's and Ung's with his story. There are additional side characters who you love and hate. I HAVE to mention Ung's parents who are literal angels. Something about how welcoming and warmhearted they are makes me tear up.
Cinematography:
It's so aesthetic. The sites where the scenes occur are all beautiful. The yellow filtering adds a beautiful nostalgic, film-like texture to it. The art work is brilliant and the transitions are pretty as well.
Soundtrack:
It's so beautiful and melodic. It just suits the drama perfectly. I love how V's track is the one that always plays during Ung's art scenes. My personal favorite has to be 10cm's 'Drawer'. That track is PERFECT. The little heartbeats before the instrumental starts? BEAUTIFUL.
Dialogue:
Ok I had to make this a separate section from storyline because of how painfully beautiful it is. Episode 6's ending broke me. That one line 'It's us of all people.' You hear that sound? Yeah that's my heart breaking. The contrast in how their dialogue matures, the words that are used in arguments all of it seems so natural. It's probably my favourite element of the drama after its storyline itself.
Acting:
The performances are as expected really good. Yeonsoo's character is something that Kim Dami embodies to the T. (not a spoiler) Than scene in the bathroom was so beautifully portrayed, it refuses to leave my mind. Choi Wooshik is perfect for Ung's character. He gives the character a certain flavor that makes him seem so charming, but I can't quite exactly place what it is. It was so enchanting to see how in the one episode where there's a little flashback montage of Ung's childhood, and I don't know if it was the child actor mirroring Wooshik's mannerisms as Ung or the other way around, but the resemblance is uncanny.
Rewatch value:
I'm resisting the urge to go rewatch it right now and just wait for future episodes. That should say enough.

Anyway, I gave the series a chance and I don't regret it, it's really nice and I think it's great for fighting boredom
