À Distância, a Primavera é Verde (2021)

At A Distance, Spring is Green (2021) - I guess pain became my friend. I coped with it for too long. So leaving it behind felt like I was parting myself from the past. - Joon.

Since I haven't read the webtoon, I didn't have anything to compare. Having seen In Hyuk here and in My Roommate is a Gumiho both watching them at the same time, I was really amazed with his acting skills. He is good. His characters in both dramas is so different and he manages to pull it off.

Park Ji Hoon having his own main lead role, it was kind of awkward for me to watch him acting but I did see his improvement. I really like the story of this drama, more of like slice of life genre and also I like that the friendship is emphasized between
two different personalities. I just think that the role of Min Ah as So Bin was not really emphasize and it's regretful.

One of the best characters development in kdrama

I'm super impressed at the good characters development writing and it's super natural , not over the top! I do kinda hope NSY show more affection towards YJ but then it will be against his character too much but i'm so happy with everyone characters development! it's really a light romance slice of life drama , to be honest i kinda like watching the bromance and brother complex more than the main couple XD and i just noticed Na In woo in this drama and OMG that eyes!!! he's so good in portraying the character you can feel the pain and sacrifice in his eyes. I don't know but the OST by PJH kinda annoyed me at first hahahah but Rothy song is good here. The story is good but for me i think it's kinda weak in the end.
.
Rewatch value? maybe none but i do will recommend it to my friends , It's a good light drama to watch since most of kdrama these days are quite heavy. A good drama to take a break in life once in a while.

This drama is the perfect coming of age drama and is perfect for youths!! This was a very heart warming and heart wrenching drama. This was totally without a doubt worth watching and would definitely recommend anyone to watch it. If you are someone who is about to go to college / a university, this would be perfect for you!! I don't know why people are being negative for this drama whether it's about the webtoon or whatever but trust me it's a very nice drama and you can learn a lot from it. Make sure to watch out for the "quotes" in the drama as they are very heartfelt, deep and inspirational. The storyline shows how the lives of different college / university students like for example, Nam Soo Hyun came out of the darkness which prevented him from meeting different people and making friends. In their hard and busy life, they seek for love, attention, peace, and for happiness and it isn't easy. This drama is the perfect masterpiece!!!!

it's just an ordinary story and that's why it's gorgeous

Oh, guys, At a Distance, Spring Is Green is a show which really surprised me and I finished it (so that’s another suprise because these days I am having hard time to complete my „currently watching dramas“). I should somehow warn you – this story doesn’t contain many action, drama or something like… (I don’t even know how I should name it) big boom? Maybe. The thing which matters the most here is ordinary life of students who tries to find themselves and create friendships between each other. And this story takes a lot of time. So if you don’t like stories which flow slowly and you don’t want to see ordinary plots, this definitely won’t be your cup of coffee. Yeah, and one thing we should clear, it is not a BL. But I think everyone would probably think this way when they watched first or maybe second episode.

I am not gonna lie. I found this drama on Viki, when I just didn’t have energy to do other things I needed to do and I actually thought this would have be some funny rom com. Drama which will not give me anything special. Oh man, how wrong I was!
From the beggining, we watch many characters, but the main ones are three. The boy, Yeo Joon, who wants to be loved by everyone because he has problems in his family, the only way out for him is to be popular, but then he realizes he wants to be loved truly. Then the boy, Nam Soo Hyun, who is poor, he needs to work all the time for paying all of his expensives, he is actually very nice, but he doesn’t want to owe something to someone so he only relies on himself and tries to stay away from people. And then our last main character, So Bin, the girl who gives up easily, doesn’t know exactly what she wants in her life, but her probably only desire (and that’s only my opinion) is to be happy and more confident than she is.

What should I say, I really love characters and the vibe of the story. I wouldn’t say that characters are described badly. I know many people assume that So Bin is the most bland character and that she doesn’t have an identity… that’s maybe a true, but if we look at it from another side, aren’t in our lives also people who are somehow bland? Who just don’t know what they should do? They are not happy, nor sad, they are just living something which should be their life. I saw me from five years ago in her. I actually like So Bin’s character because for me she was very refreshing to see – she just didn’t know what was going on with her, she had many weaknesses like her easily giving up thing and many others. So for me this idea was perfect - to describe ordinary life.

Although sometimes you just don’t like the characters you will say "this is a life, girl, you can’t be okay with everyone", so after that you again aprecciate the ordinary story which has a lot to say. I think there is a magic of this drama.

Only thing I just didn’t like that much was a bit of romantic part here (Mi Joo), but I understand what producers wanted to say to us. But for me, this was a thing which didn’t have to be here. However, again, I am here saying, this is a life and there aren’t always things we want to see. Maybe even this part is somehow valuable for me.

The vibe of the story just hits totally different and I am living for that. How I mentioned before, the storyline flows slowly because we have chance to see character‘s developments and because it is slow, that character’s change makes sense.

For acting skills, let’s appreciate Ji Hoon, please. I watched Love Revolution half a year ago and it was very fun. There I got to know Ji Hoon’s acting and I was impressed. But here, he again does amazing job and I am shocked. I can't wait for other dramas with him!

Also I really love music background. There are many songs which are stuck in my head right now and I need to download them to my phone.

I should sum it. If you don’t like slow dramas, this won’t be for you (but I said this thing immediatelly when I started write this review). But if you want ordinary drama, where characters try to find themselves, many amazing interactions between characters, just a bit of romantic line, story which will give you something more, this is really great choice. I am still shocked how good it was.

At a distance spring is sweet and tough

This is a really sweet drama that combines allot of sweet and fluff with some pretty deep and sereus issues as well as teach us that boys do cry.

The OST in this drama complements it perfectly adding to the sweet fluffy tone but I can not help but wonder if the fluff gets the best of this drama only letting the important issues touch te surface without actually getting in to them. To be honest I can't decide if it is both good or bad to do so since acnowledging these issues without letting them take over could actually be a step forward towards breaking the silance and just showing that they are just one part of a persons life but not all of it.

The main couple is sweeter than cotton candy but the chemistry between the bromance is way more interesting than the romance.

The characters development in this drama is great and though some actions made me mad I did enjoy the friendships and the dynamics in the group yet still felt that something is missing.

All in all worth your time but not a masterpiece.

At last, REAL friendships!

Honestly one of my favorite slice of life kdramas. I just wished it had more eps... it's such a pity! The story had so much potential, but with 12 eps, it's barely possible to deliver everything in time!

I have not read the webtoon so will only review the kdrama.
This was actually one of the few times i've watched a kdrama with REAL friendships. Like when you have a problem and need to cry or confess your worries, you go to your friends! The dialogues felt very real as well. That one speech of Joon saying how he didn't know how to feel anymore cause he was in darkness for so long that leaving his sad self behind actually made him feel empty, really impressed me a lot! There's a few memorable convos and quotes from this kdrama!

But there's also a few things that were either rushed or just didn't make a lot of sense. SoBin's best friend took her for granted for a long time (cause that's what often happens when you think people will never leave your side) but because of that you kinda stop talking to someone that protected you for so long? i mean she didn't even bother to ask him if he was still dating the girl or not (when she was just an ex). That part didn't make sense. Let alone falling in love immediatly for a new guy after being so dedicated to someone else for so long. Cause they actually had a long story together... those years don't just go away... not even after they somehow hurt each other. The feelings stay for awhile.

I really didn't need Joon to have a romantic relationship with anyone. SoBin could've accept him and be kind to him as a friend. Cause if you think about it, everytime he had a crisis he either needed to be alone or went to Soo Hyun. Usually when you are in a love relationship, although you can always count on your friends, you also rely a lot on your partner, cause if not... then they are only there for the fun parts?! That didn't work that well in the kdrama.

But apart from little things like this, this was still an amazing watch in my opinion. Goes to my favorites list!

If I were to choose 2 words to sum up this drama, they would be "youth" and "healing".

At A Distance Spring is Green is a drama that depicts the hardships that young adults face as they transition from teenagers to full-fledged adults in the real world. We follow our main characters Yeo Jun and Nam Soo Hyun, two people who have very contrasting personalities and lifestyles, yet we find out that they're actually pretty similar as they carry their respective struggles and burdens. They learn to heal through each other and we watch as they help each other to grow as individuals. Now AADSIG doesn't have the most intricate plot whatsoever, but what makes this drama so compelling is the characters, their journey towards growth, and their relationships between one another, whether it's a brotherly bond, friendship or romance. Another thing that is note-worthy, in my opinion, is that even though the story had the overall impression of being lighthearted, they still successfully touched upon heavy subjects such as child abuse, child neglect, poverty, bullying, and anxiety, all while covering the question regarding the true nature of youth.

I do think that there are a few cons to this drama, a HUGE huge one being the writing direction they decided to take for Soo Hyun and Young Ran's relationship (yeah, call me bitter because I hella am. we were ROBBED), and the lack of depth for some of the characters. But overall, I love this drama. I honestly didn't expect to like it as much as I do when I first tried watching it, but this drama was definitely a pleasant surprise for me. Being a young adult myself, I found a lot of aspects very relatable, so that definitely added up to its overall charms. The cast did a wonderful job as well, considering how most of them are rookies. It is a drama that I would highly recommend and one that I can see myself rewatching, though I'm not usually the type to.

In the past month and a half, I've grown very attached to its characters, so saying goodbye is quite hard. Alas, it's been wonderful to watch Jun and Soo Hyun's journey. I will definitely miss this drama.

Not my type of drama....

I don't know if I'm the only one, well whatever i just not fond of the ML acting, i think that it was soo bad.... I'm confused what feelings he wants to deliver to the audiences, he wants to deliver sad but he's face looks tired, and he looks more in love with the SML than the FML. Besides, i can't feel the love between the ML and FML. I knoww they are based on a BL webtoon but they should really just choose one between bl or normal romance. The ML sudden shouting was also ANNOYING!! Arggghh I hope next time he gets a shouting scenes, pleaseee make it less annoying....

The plot: i think it's just typical types we've seen, childhood trauma, sad past, ect...(nothing really special). Talking about the plot i don't get why the ML tells everything to the SML instead of his girlfriend (FML), if you can't rely on or trust each other about your past, i don't get why you guys are together. Instead, both guys care and depend on each other, eventually change each other's life for the better...(like I've said, choose one, do BL if you want to)

The music was okay i guess...

I definitely won't rewatch this...kinda feels waste of time (i would have drop this drama if I'm not watching with someone else) but this is just my opinion
There are people who like this drama too, maybe they can see what i can't from this drama so if you're thinking of starting this drama after reading the review, enjoy watching!!

A great drama

I saw the first review and they said it’s average but I think it’s amazing and maybe it’s because it’s my first coming to age drama that I actually got hooked on. Now they were right when they said it’s just an average one but this one is special for some reason. The way they portray their emotions is amazing. Like I don’t usually cry but I feel for them but I don’t like how some characters treat one of the characters but I understand why and what they were trying to do and I think they’re slowly warming up. In conclusion, I think the acting is top tier and I hope they get more future roles. (Sorry if this isn’t worded the best)

At a Distance, Spring is Green was a good drama that highlights the highs and lows of youth. It wasn't perfect but I think it conveyed the message well.

Story- I liked the story and how different each character was. I also liked the fact that despite their differences all of them were somewhat similar in the fact that they had healing to do. Yeo Joon's story even made me cry and I usually don't cry for fictional characters ?. The best part of the show for me was the bromance and everyone finding a solution for their problems. I loved watching everyone become stronger and wiser when they were able to close certain chapters of their life. One of the things I didn't like was the development of Yeo Joon's relationship. I think it would have translated better if it was slower burn considering Yeo Joon and his girlfriend's individual situations. With that said, I thought their relationship was cute! Also, love is a part of some people's youth so I think it was a nice addition to the story :) I don't think the relationship was the main focus at all either. The main focus was really Yeo Joon and then Soo Hyun's story.

Acting/Cast- Everyone did a great job portraying their character!! I will say I'm really not a huge fan of the super frail female character and Soo Bin was kind of like that. Her back story kind of explains why though so I could understand somewhat. I also think Soo Bin and Mi Joo could have had better character development but I enjoyed all of the characters :)

Music- The music is good!! My favorite song is We Will Be Not All Together by Rothy and Han Seung Yun <3
I also love WAY by Chancellor!

Rewatch Value- I usually don't rewatch shows but if I did I would mind watching this one again because it was a good story :)
