Summer Strike Episode 12

the greatest chemistry ever seen

summer strike was the first korean show i've watched and it's one of the greatest and most comfortable shows i've ever seen, and the reason for that is that there's a sense of simplicity in its story, two introverts falling in love in a library and seolhyun and im siwan are SO talented actors that thay managed to transmit this without saying ONE word of romantic declaration for each other, i found myself having butterflies watching their scenes together, the feeling i had was as if i was in his shoes.i think what makes this drama so different from all the others is that its main characters are the definition of loving through attitudes not words, like what do you mean the guy measured the floor for buying her new shoes?? THATS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!something i had a problem is that when it comes to their romance, the story unfolds relatively slow — i didn't know at the time that's is a strong feature of korean dramas — they didnt have the hurry to create their approximation, and usually that's a good thing but in this case i thought it's very delayed. also the mystery vibe works fine but they build it without any importance throughout the season, it has a great plot twist at the end but it almost felt like it was another show on the last 2 episodes, it creates kind of an inconsistency of genres, but it's not like that'd ruin the experience, it keeps being perfect.and the fact that you know it's a limited series with no chance to have more seasons genuinely HURTS. it's such a GOOD atmosphere, i'm astonished (and stuck). i'll always come back to watch this show again whenever i feel i'm needing it.now potential spoilers ⚠️🚨the fact that ended up the whole series without having ONE KISS is quite disappointing. yes, i understand why they chose this path, but after waiting so much and the characters exploding a chemistry never seen before, finishing the last episode without giving us a physical scene was the only flaw of the entire show for me, i'm truly sad. even though the season story it's pretty round and conclusive, i'd die for a second season.9/10. recomend 100%
