A spring breeze eventually comes...HEARTFELT DRAMA!
This is what i love about kdramas... the little moments of hope that shine between the cold and desperate seasons of life.
No one does it like kdramas!
PROS:
-CHARACTERS: While the story seems very simple, What sets this kdrama apart is the characters wholesomeness.
we can't help but really get attached to Chan's way of smiling through everything. And Haran!! powerful play by our FL... her winter characterization was spot on. the fear of thinking something bad would always happen to spoil your happiness, or feeling that you don't deserve happiness were poignant and well delivered!
-VISUALS: everything is stunning and full of symbolism!
- The nuance of leaving things out: the dilemmas and tough choices Chan was going through in how to help Haran or clarify things( also other characters went through similar dilemmas) were realistic!
-SEASONS: The theme of seasons is also very well integrated. in the animations, the cinematography, the snow... We can't help but feel hopeful in our own journey through seasons while watching our main characters Chan and Haran heal each other at different seasons...
-COUPLES: honorable mention to all secondary couples and the symbolism of each sister, shining in their own way!
Cons:
INTRUIGUE: the main tension in the story gets dragged way too much. As a viewer, i was so ready for that secret to pop by half of the episodes! too many replays of same moments...
FAIRYTALE: this is part of the kdrama magic... all the coincidences that happen to make the plot moving in a certain convenient direction. I usually don't mind it too much, because its fun and dreamy! but it was overdone a few time here. I did appreciate when the characters were partially responsible for making some coincidences work.. but the big letdown is that the drama and tension didn't feel sustained. As if they all had some fluff and soft wrap around them!
QUOTES:
many moments feel like a warm hug...while you probably saw quotes on the seasons and radiance, or having walls around us... i have to quote our youngest couple ' we can cry about it later, but for now we can try'
and also our ML saying' a spring breeze eventually comes...'
this show wasn't about a pretty perfect, but about being there for each other in the most supportive way.
LOVED IT !
