Something in the Rain

I finally finished it today. And what a beautiful happy end it was. I’m satisfied. :)

More with minor spoilers behind the cut.

It too me some time to finish it because I had to take a break after watching episode 10. Jin-ah’s mother’s hysterical reaction after finding out about Jin-ah and Joon-hee kind off soured me on the whole drama. The sexual harassment plot at Jin-ah’s work was also becoming more and more hard to watch.

So I took a 3 months break and started to watch again last month. But since both of the above-mentioned parts were still prominent in the drama I couldn’t watch more than 1 episode per week. But it was absolutely worth watching just for Jin-ah and Joon-hee’s relationship. And there are a few other secondary characters I liked, especially Geum Bo-ra and Vice President Jung Young-in. They were both fantastic.

I wanted to watch Romance Is A Bonus Book next, because I read good opinions about it. But then I saw that Netflix in Poland added One Spring Night recently. It’s Jung Hae In’s new drama and I really want to see something else with him, because he’s so adorable and pretty and a very good actor. So I plan to start One Spring Night tomorrow.

Yayay! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! \o/ \o/ \o/

(I got sadly disillusioned from about episode 12 or 13, and kept waiting for them to pull out of their spiralling failure to communicate and learn to be a couple. I really wanted Jin-ah to stop making the same mistake!! So I didn't find the ending very satisfying from a Jin-ah/Joon-hee POV -- it was too little, too late, for me -- but by that stage I loved Bo-ra so much that she was some consolation. I'm still bitter at how the sexual harassment storyline turned out, though! *sigh*

But those first 10 or 12 episodes were so delicious, I can easily imagine just watching those again (over and over and over).)

I'll be really interested to hear what you think of One Spring Night!
