A Short Drama with the Heart of a Full-Length Film
Summer Rose is one of those rare short dramas that doesn’t feel short at all, it feels like a complete, beautifully crafted movie. The acting is outstanding, with both leads delivering some of the best performances seen in the vertical-format genre. The script breaks away from typical C-drama formulas, offering a raw, sincere, and emotionally grounded story that feels refreshingly real.
What truly sets it apart is the honest portrayal of a relationship its struggles, miscommunications, pain, and growth. There are moments when you want to shake the characters for not communicating, yet you still root for them every step of the way. Their emotional journey feels genuine, heartfelt, and deeply relatable.
The drama also stands out for what it doesn’t rely on kidnappings, dramatic deaths, or over-the-top angst. Instead, it focuses on the simple truth that marriage isn’t always roses; it requires commitment, patience, sacrifice, understanding, and love. The final part, where each character expresses what happiness means to them, is especially impactful and beautifully done.
Unexpected, emotional, and incredibly well-acted, Summer Rose is a must watch short drama that delivers far more than its length suggests. It is easily among the most thoughtful and well-performed vertical dramas to date.
Excellence mature watch, It's a roller coaster ride of emotions watching this storyline. FL was willing to marry if there was no love attached, being fearful of loving someone and getting hurt like her mom did. The minute she fell in love with ML she broke off their engagement and left without sharing her feeling to him. ML was older with a stoic personality, in loved her, but not knowing how to communicate it to her. I hurt for him, he was sad, but he pursed to win her back. Only then I was able to see his gorgeous smile! This was beautifully written, and the leads are excellent actors, with great chemistry together!
