I went into this drama with great and high expectations because JBR.

I really like this actor so much! He's so manly, so handsome, so tall, so strong ... I loved him in "Road Home" and was looking forward to watching him again in "The Early Spring".

I do not really know the female lead but I saw her briefly in "Islands" for the first time and she made quite a positive impression on me. I found her charismatic and she seemed to have the elusive X-factor.

Having watched just a few episodes of "The Early Spring", I was quite torn. On the one hand, I wanted to see JBR on my TV screen. On the other hand, I was quite shocked by the manner in which this drama started off. It was "in your face" and "forceful" and even "rude"... JBR's character was a biting monster and the FL was this meek and subservient puppy. I kind of understood that this drama was about growth - how she grew up and glowed up and how he grew up and matured as a person who knew how to love better (?) But, I could not understand why a 20+ year old would behave like this even as a newbie in the workforce. Also, why would a mentor be so biting and scathing? It seemed uncalled for to treat a newbie in this harsh manner. I truly think that there are such detestable people in real life for sure. However, watching their forceful "push pull" made me quite confused and uncomfortable. It felt very different from POJ's etc... vibes which I much preferred. (Of course, I am not saying that this is POJ and should be POJ. They are vastly different.)

However, I was rather taken aback by the first three episodes and I did not have the motivation to continue watching "The Early Spring" . I have put it on hold because I am not sure if I want to drop it or not, simply because of JBR. Let's see... However, the motivation is low.
