First of all, don’t hate me, I’m just being honest. This isn’t a rant, but the reason why I decided to drop the drama. Sometimes a story can be breathtakingly beautiful and still fail to reach your heart. Blossom is one of those rare cases for me.
Perhaps I expected too much, carried away by the waves of praise and endless hype. Everyone seems to be sailing on a sea of rapture, while I drift quietly on another shore — wondering if we’ve been watching the same drama at all.
Blossom started like a painting slowly unfolding — each frame delicate, poetic, and full of restrained emotions. The cinematography is breathtaking, petals floating silently through the air, carrying the weight of unspoken feelings. At first, I was drawn in completely. The story felt elegant and thoughtful, with Meng Zi Yi(Dou Zhao) graceful performance and Li Yun Rui (Song Mo) quiet, wounded strength giving the drama its soul.
But somewhere after episide 18 the pacing grew slower, and the chemistry I wanted to feel — that rush of butterflies, that swoonworthy pull — never quite arrived. Their connection remained poetic yet distant, more beautiful than passionate. Even the emotional moments felt muted, like whispers carried away by the wind.
By episode 22, I realized I was watching with admiration, not emotion. It’s an undeniably gorgeous drama, but it lacked that heartbeat I was searching for. Blossom is art — graceful, melancholic, and visually perfect — yet it left me untouched. Maybe it’s not meant to make you fall in love, but simply to make you sigh.
Im sorry for being too picky. But, nah, this is not for me.
