"Blow Breeze" is a drama about the relationship between Mi Poong and Jang Go, a North Korean woman and a South Korean man. They met when they were children and Mi Poong's name was Seung Hee at the time. Her family was financially well off, but the situation changed and they ended up returning to North Korea.
Years passed, Seung Hee had to flee with her family, seeking asylum in South Korea, taking the name Mi Poong and starting a new life. Mi Poong and her family go through many difficulties trying to survive in a place they don't know, with people who treat them badly because they are from the North. She ends up meeting Jang Go again, who has become a lawyer and helps Mi Poong and her family.
The two fall in love and it was more than clear that their life would not be easy with Jang Go's mother always in the way. Mi Poong and Jang Go get married, but it doesn't last long. No one could handle going through all that, the constant humiliation, as if she were superior to them. It was obvious that it would culminate in their divorce, even though Jang Go begged Mi Poong not to leave him. I felt sorry for him at that moment, because Jang Go wasn't to blame for what his mother did, but Mi Poong didn't have to keep quiet either.
Shin Ae is the villain of the story, but at the same time I couldn't hate her completely. She stole, deceived Mi Poong's grandfather and stole her place, but if we look at it from Shin Ae's perspective, she did all of that to survive. After all, she ended up paying for her crimes.
The drama has 53 episodes, but the story is never drawn out or tiring. The romance is light and cute and watching Mi Poong's journey made for a great story. If I had to point out something, it would be that I wish Mi Poong had asserted herself more with Jang Go's mother. I didn't like how she put up with all that, like a victim. I would have liked to have seen her learning to defend herself and not depend solely on Jang Go.
