Sweet, Real and Comforting
"Our Beloved Summer" really shines with its cute and realistic take on relationships and growth. The show nicely shows the awkwardness and warmth of first love and second chances, all while avoiding overused tropes. The main actors are super believable which made the characters’ journeys feel genuine and easy to root for. The whole vibe is feels like a fresh take of youth and summer so it even felt like a new genre experience for me.
But honestly, the pacing is a big issue, especially in the later episodes. It slows down a lot, to the point where it feels like the story is dragging its feet. While the leads are strong, I really wanted to see more development for supporting characters like Ji Ung, Sol Yi, Eun Ho and Chae Ran as they just felt left out. Because of these pacing and plot gaps, I don’t think I’d be excited to rewatch it. Plus, the OST just isn’t for me.
