DO OVER OF SOMETHING IN THE RAIN...
The Netflix writers liked SOMETHING IN THE RAIN so much that they thought they’d do it all over again and give it another name. Hence – ONE SPRING NIGHT.
One of the main characters in OSN has a “flaw” that has to be hidden from friends and family of his would-be girlfriend--just as in SITR.
ONE SPRING NIGHT – features some of the same actors playing characters remarkably similar to those in SITR–only with different names and, in some cases, slightly different personalities. The actress who plays one of the mothers softens that role, so she isn’t as rigid and snobbish as she was in SITR. Of the two, SOMETHING IN THE RAIN is the better drama.
This FL has a jealous, acting out ex-boyfriend, though this one isn’t quite as psychotic as the one in SITR. He’s pretty awful nonetheless.
I guess Tammy Wynette wasn’t available this time. However, there’s another equally nauseating song playing endlessly in the background.
The dialogue in SITR wasn’t scintillating. But in ONE SPRING NIGHT, it’s confusing. When translated into English subtitles, many of the conversations are incomprehensible. Hard to care when not much is happening, and what IS happening is kind of a mess.
