ONE OF THE BEST CDRAMAS THAT I'VE WATCHED!!!
At first, I was not really interested in watching The Early Spring since I barely knew the actors. The only one I knew was the female lead, who I have seen in other shows a couple of times. But since I was in a Chinese drama slump era, I just played whatever, and without a doubt, it was the best decision ever.I thought this would just be a series that I would watch when I had nothing else to do. But in just episode 1, girl, I was hooked. The visuals of the actors are just an extra bonus. The acting, the cast, and even the styling are perfect. The story started with a girl from a province who chased her dreams to the city without knowing anyone. I loved how they really showed Flora's grit to achieve what she wants. She made me want to believe that everything really works out if you do your best. When you first see her, you can tell that nothing is exceptionally special about her, not her physical appearance or even her school background. That is why the words Tracy used when talking about Flora really fit her character. She said that people with natural talent might shine immediately, but people who work hard will be the ones who surprise you in the long run. Flora started as what you could call a basic girl and became the very accomplished person she wanted to be.
Luke's character was a typical cold guy who is not good with words. It was much easier for him to say the rudest things you could ever think of than to praise you for something. You could even say that more arrogant things come out of his mouth than good ones, lol. But you can tell he really loved Flora from the moment he saw her. There is something special about her that can only be felt by him. I also have to mention the insane chemistry between the actors, especially the way they look at each other. Jing Boran, who acts as Luke, has these intense gazes that gave me the wildest butterflies in my stomach! I loved how his character developed throughout the series. You know that even though the worst possible things come out of his mouth, he means well. Him as a boss is really a dream. It is great having someone who will back you up and push you to do even better, even if he might be more attentive to Flora. No matter how much I talk bad about him in this drama, I could never really hate him. Just like with Flora, there are a lot of things that could have been avoided if they had just talked about it more, but it is part of the plot sooo... What makes them so great is how incredibly realistic their relationship feels. They are not perfect, but they both have their weaknesses and strengths as a couple and as individuals that they must work out to make the impossible possible. I am really happy with how they turned out.
One thing I appreciate about this drama even more is the relationships between the characters. It shines not just with the main leads but also with the supporting cast. People who go away to find their dreams in an unknown city will find this heartwarming. It shows how a single soul alone in a vast city found other people who probably feel the same way, and they became a second family to them. I love the friends she shared a house with because everyone is special in their own way. This also shows that no matter how happy a person looks from the outside, they still experience things that are hard to talk about. I loved how mature and relatable those friendships are. Another person I really liked here is Lumi. Her character made me wish for a senior coworker just like her. She is someone who will support you and value you so much as a friend and a coworker (another season with her and Will plsss).
This series also does not just focus on romantic love. It shows different kinds of love through friends, family, and even pets. At the same time, it addresses important issues in our society. It touches on mental health, the effect of your background on your work, and even the exploitation of women in the working environment. On top of that, you can learn so many things while watching. The characters' words and realizations will somehow just hit you right in the heart, offering genuine comfort and mature life lessons.
I highly recommend this series! Everything is perfect from the characters to the story, and even the OST is a hard YES!!!! My only problem now is having nothing to look forward to watching every night before going to bed huhuuhhuu, after finishing I feel like I'm on cdrama slump again hhhhuuuh
May we all find someone like Luke (minus his rude mouth hahahahah)

YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS THIS DRAMA!!
I was actually 50/50 if I should watch it because I already saw spoilers about it. But watching it is one of the greatest thing I did this week, Imagine I finished it after 2 days when I'm super busy at school!! In the 1st part I don't pay much attention but as the story goes on I'm freaking hooked at it!!!The visual of the two lead is given, but their acting chefs kiss!!! Even the side characters, I really like the build-up of the characters interaction. Mixed emotion crying then getting excited for the next scene and crying again. But the ending is lacking for me, I know that those things really happen in their industry. And I think it's the real ending from the webtoon but I guess I'll just work with the next event from the last scene of the show with my imagination. But I'm very happy with their success in the show. So still a very good series in 2023 🤗Was this review helpful to you?
