Incredible Drama with Unforgettable Performances!
I have been watching The Early Spring up to Episode 19, and I am completely blown away! This is NOT your typical office romance drama—it feels so much more grounded, mature, and intense.Jing Boran gives a phenomenal performance as the male lead. He doesn't even need words—his eyes say everything. His intense micro-expressions, every gaze, and every emotion conveyed through his eyes are just unforgettable. He has nailed every single detail of his character!
Sun Qian is brilliant as the female lead. Her portrayal of a strong, stubborn, and resilient character is so natural and captivating. She brings so much strength and personality to the screen.
The dynamic between Jing Boran and Sun Qian keeps me glued to the screen every single episode. A huge shoutout to the director and the entire production team for making every episode up to Episode 19 so compelling. I cannot wait to see how the rest of the story unfolds!

I binge watched this and I loved the female and male lead- the world building was pretty good but I found myself less attached to the characters and like mildly unimpressed with them. Also I got to episode 34 and I stopped there because as soon as I hit episode 35 the SML did a full 180. I couldn’t be bothered for that because all his character development went out the window so I just skipped episode 36 to their wedding and it was done. It was pretty good to pass time, especially during exam season. Was this review helpful to you?
suprisingly an easy watch
i have been out of the loop with k-dramas for a while now. i stopped watching about a few years ago and have only missed watching IU in dramas this year so i gave this one a try since it was fairly short. i'm aware that it had multiple issues while airing, and that both leads even had to apologize for some trivial things i could not care about. but it was okay!things i liked:
- the relationship was mature, and they didn't have unnecessary miscommunication. i guess since the drama is so short, if they suddenly add something to break them apart on the third act, it will ruin the experience altogether and i'm glad they didn't go down that road.
- the side characters, especially the palace maids and attendants, are hilarious and i love their relationship with the royals. i especially find both secretary do and secretary choi funny. i like the switcharoo that happened and it definitely made the episodes so much more fun.
- i'm glad the queen mother had a redemption. she of all people really needed it.
- iu's role somehow reminds me of the past roles she had. it seems like she's being typecasted, but i don't mind. i like most of her character e.g. in scarlet heart or in hotel del luna. i like how she's a strong character who also has her weak moments. her relationship with her family is one of the most realistic portrayals of complicated familial relationships i have ever seen, including her banter with her older brother. i'm glad they gave us that.
things i didn't like:
- quite predictable plot, e.g. the "big" reveal in the end. from the very start, you can very much feel that they're setting up the villain, so it wasn't a surprise at all for me.
- byeon woo-seok's acting is good, but i get why people say he has the same-face syndrome in some cases. he cries, but only his eyes are lonely. the rest of his body language doesn't seem to follow suit. maybe that's why the chemistry between him and iu can be a bit on and off in some cases. i can definitely see him matching more comedy-heavy dramas than serious ones. his comedic timing is golden, and that's where he shines the most.
- plot is almost a copy-paste of some of the famous historical dramas in the past that tackles the same thing, but with 12 episodes, i doubt they can do much anyway.
overall, highly digestible episodes! i was able to finish it in one day. hilarious watch, and definitely a good palate cleanser after watching something heavy. it's a shame iu won't be coming back to lead in hotel del luna 2.

NEW COMFORT SHOW UNLOCKED ?
I love the novel so I have to compliment the author, Tsubaki Yuzu, for making such a cute and comforting story 🩷. I also adore the drama with all of my heart.The actors do such a great job and the chemistry is so sweet. Suzuki is the most relatable character for me. And I love how Serizawa is such a ray of sunshine and a sweetheart that carefully considers Suzuki's feelings every time. He's the type of extrovert that gets along with introverts too, which makes him and Suzuki so compatible. THIS is the kind of opposites attract story I really enjoy. It makes me believe in love again.
AND it reminds the audience of the importance of having friends that care about you. Takeuchi, Saeki, and Iwasaki are amazing characters too. The entire main cast is so loveable!!!
Seriously. I adore this show and it brightens my day with every new episode. I made an account just to leave this review. 🤣
I will be sad when the show ends.. We need a season 2 🩷 and more of the novel too 💕 Or I will just have to rewatch it over and over again.. which I'm okay with!

Are people allergic to good things now?
I don't understand why so many people are unsatisfied with this series. It is very well done and beautifully executed as well. I can't BELIEVE the amount of people hoping that phob had died. Like are people seriously allergic to HAPPY endings or something?I understand the emotion of bringing more sorrow to the series, but i feel even a very serious and gloomy series can absolutely have a happy ending. Demeaning people by saying things like "they made this a happy ending for them fan girls" is VERY DISRESPECTFUL and RUDE. liking happy endings does not make you less interesting or bare you from having an opinion. Each to their own i guess, but i personally loved the ending! And if that makes me a "fan gurl" then so be it i guess. The story is well written guys, definitely watch it!

Need this kind of Female Empowerment Drama
Okay i have guilty pleasure about liking Aviation drama and Female lead as pilot are quite uncommon for me since most of aviation drama always making Female lead on aviation drama works as flight attendant. And the drama are journey for FL from Flight Attendant to Pilot are quite new for me. I enjoy Liu Xuening main lead acting debut, even she has many point to improve but she taking this role seriously and it was relaxing to see her as Si Xian. Hope she got more prominent main role.I don't have any complaint about FL characteristic since her emotion comes from her family problems and scriptwriter did a good job for making foundation from FL problem. People complaining about her way of respond to ML but i find Si Xian is quite realistic.
For Male Lead, Wei Zheming nailed on his CEO role (again) but he is not really scumbag. I think the chemistry between the main lead are not showing since FL repulsive and career-driven. I feel this drama could be Slice of life or Self-Journey instead of romance.
The supporting casts are not NPC and since i used to work on aviation i can relate for FL's friends.
As far, i prefer this kind of show. Relaxing to watch.
