Um drama com um ar melancólico e relaxante
Sinceramente um dos melhores, se não o melhor dorama que já assisti. Amo toda a atmosfera e ambientação feita pelo diretor, há um ar de melancolia e de maturidade conseguindo ao mesmo tempo possuir um ar de comédia romântica, e bem mais natural e menos forçado que alguns filmes/séries.A narrativa não é nada muito criativa, é a história de uma mulher comprometida que se apaixona por um homem que possui um filho e o cria sozinho, porém, apesar de não ser criativo é muito bem construída de uma forma que não seja nada muito forçado igual a outros dramas com enredo similar. A atuação é outro ponto fortíssimo da série, claro, há algumas exceções, mas no geral o elenco fez um bom trabalho, um ponto de que gostei na atuação foi as cenas românticas, que geralmente são meio "tímidas" em doramas, aqui não, as cenas são ótimas e bem realistas, é visível a química dos protagonistas.
A direção de arte é muito competente, eles conseguem passar um ar de melancólico e mais maduro a série, porém, conseguem também transmitir um ar mais cômico e relaxante. Um dos defeitos (um dos poucos) é que o ritmo é meio lento e monótono em algumas partes, mas nada que faça o dorama ser um tédio, porém, vale lembrar que nem todos iram gostar desse ritmo que é bem conhecido nos doramas do Jung Hae-in (Something in the Rain e A Piece of Your Mind).
A OST também é perfeita. Eu recomendo demais ver este dorama, dê uma chance para ele.

Por que voce assistiria?
Em um dia qualquer da semana, você acorda atrasada para o trabalho e com ressaca. Você dormiu na casa de sua melhor amiga. Com a cara toda amassada e sentindo mal-estar, resolve entrar numa farmácia qualquer que encontrou no meio do caminho. Imaginou? Uma situação corriqueira, né!? Mas essa não é uma farmácia qualquer. O balconista será o grande amor de sua vida. Em uma noite de primavera, uma paixão nascerá.É um dorama sobre pessoas, suas rotinas e as conexões que elas têm ou desenvolvem ao longo do tempo. Não há grandes vilões e obstáculos surreais.
Quando estava assistindo à serie e vi como Ji-ho era desprezado por ter um filho, achei um absurdo (ainda mais que a criança é fofa demais). Mas quer saber? eu não namoraria alguém que tem um filho se eu fosse solteira. Esse tipo de preconceito não é exclusivo da Coreia do Sul. Obviamente, lá, isso é muito mais forte, porque entra na parte de tradição familiar, reputação e imagem etc e tal....
Eles tentam se afastar, se botam em situações difíceis e confusas, pois não sabem como lidar com tudo aquilo. Mas em nenhum momento sentimos que eles são pessoas ruins tomando decisões questionáveis. Eles são duas pessoas boas, que se conhecem em um momento não tão ideal, mas que se apaixonam genuinamente e passam a lutar para ficar juntos. Não tem maldade.
Eu morri de amores por esses dois! Não tem como não sorrir ao ver a felicidade que eles sentem por simplesmente terem se encontrado. Viraram um dos meus casais preferidos da vida!
SPOILERS ABAIXO
Sobre as irmãs da protagonista: Essas três são mulheres fortes, determinadas, mas sensíveis e gentis. Elas se apoiam durante o dorama inteiro, se protegem e se amam.... Amei, amei, amei.
A mais velha ( questionamento: Uma mulher que está sendo violentada por seu marido tem que continuar aguentando o casamento por que ficou grávida?) é uma mulher incrível. Ela não teve um casamento fácil, passou e passa por diversos momentos complicados, mas continua firme, lutando pelos seus direitos e pela sua liberdade.
Já a mais nova (Questionamento: Uma mulher querer viver sua vida livre conhecendo vários lugares sem se preocupar com casamento, é errado?) é aquela personagem que você olha e acha que vai ser doidinha, mas é justamente o contrário. Ela é muito sensata! Sempre direta, dizendo o que pensa não importa para quem. (VOCE IA BATER NELA?? BATE EM MIM!! VOCE GOSTA DE BATER EM MULHER?? que cena! ) Ela não é grossa, mas fala o que pensa e está sempre ali para dar suporte as suas irmãs. Resumindo: elas são TUDO para mim.(caiu uma lágrima quando lembrei de uma cena das 3)
SE TEM PARTES QUE EU NAO GOSTEI ? SIM, afinal , eu nao sou a roteirista. ahaha
AHHH Gente que OST maravilhosa, meu marido nao é dorameiro mas ele toca essa musica no violão até hoje, baixou ela no celular e é uma musica preferida dele.
Resumindo? Esse dorama é puro amorzinho e vai te ensinar muito sobre respeito, felicidade e liberdade. É uma lição de vida sobre escolhas, amor e família. Se você gosta de dramas assim, pode correr e assistir. Se não....

Um dos meus dramas favoritos da vida!
Acabei de assistir esse drama maravilhoso pela terceira vez. Recentemente assisti pela primeira vez Something in the rain e depois de toda a frustação que passei assistindo aquele drama, eu precisei voltar para One Spring Night para me sentir em paz. Como escrevi na minha resenha de Something in the Rain, tudo que é um problema lá, em One Spring Night é resolvido.As temáticas são parecidas, mas One Spring Nigth a execução é superior. São duas gerações em conflito com relação a como entendem o casamento.
One Spring Night conquista o expectador nos primeiros momentos, você sente no clima que uma história boa vai ser contada e você para e presta atenção. Aliás o clima é realmente algo importante para a construção da narrativa. Quando a Jung In fala pro Ji Ho "a primavera me levou até você" faz todo sentido porque é esta a sensação. A cena do primeiro encontro dos dois na farmácia, mesmo assistindo pela terceira vez ainda foi capaz de me dar borboletas na barriga. A química entre os protagonistas é maravilhosa, aliás todo o elenco é ótimo.
Mas desta vez tive uma percepção diferente do Gi Seok. Nas primeiras vezes que assisti achei que ele só queria casar para cumprir um protocolo e estava chateado por ter sido trocado por outro que ele considera inferior. Embora de fato ele tenha se sentindo ofendido por ter sido trocado por alguém que ele considerava socialmente inferior, desta vez me pareceu que ele genuinamente amava a Jung In, então tive um pouco mais de empatia pelo sofrimento dele. Infelizmente o namoro deles estava fadado ao fracasso, pois antes da Jung In conhecer o Ji Ho ela já não estava mais envolvida naquela relação com o Gi Seok. Como disse a amiga dela, "relacionamentos longos chegam ao fim sem você se dar conta", e quando ela começa a sentir todas aquelas emoções diante do Ji Ho, se dá conta de que o relacionamento de quatro anos com o Gi Seok já acabou faz tempo. Ela estava ainda ali pela comodidade. Mas ele ainda tinha sentimentos e por isso foi difícil para ele deixar ir.
Adoro o clima nostálgico do drama. A química entre os protagonistas é adorável e além do romance fofo entre eles o drama ainda trouxe algumas questões sociais interessantes para o debate. Amei muito! Uma ótima trilha sonora também.

Eu AMO doramas realistas, mas esse dorama não é realista. Ele é chato, lento e repetitivo.
Assisti pra ver momentos do casal (que em Something in the Rain foram maravilhosos) mas nem isso valeu a pena, nem os beijos. Desperdício de completo de tempo, eu quase dormi assistindo. Toca a mesma música 300X, o tempo todo. Eu queria esganar o diretor.
Nada salvou, nem um momento emocionante e fofo. Todo mundo na história é um saco. Revoltei total com esse drama.

Cansativo
Para começar que trilha sonora chata pra caramba, fica repetindo toda hora cansativo e enjoativo de escutar isso está me dando nos nervos, nem mil palavras descreveriam quanto é desagradável escutar a Ost. Eu já estava cansada de assistir isso no segundo episódio e isso é um péssimo sinal mais como sou teimosa continuei , tudo é tão arrastado chato a história dos protagonistas é lenta demais para meu gosto, fica num loop infinito e nunca sai do lugar eu já estava no episódio 18 e nada cada episódio é a cópia do anterior nada muda ou progride é muito chato isso. O romance não te prende não consigo ver química nem sentido no amor dos protagonistas.Nem tudo é ruim aqui pelo menos temos boas atuações e a história é boa só foi mau executada, gosto da forma que todas as histórias abordadas são realistas , poderia ser a vida de alguém que você conhece ou até mesmo a sua, é bem pé no chão e adulto, mais só esse acerto não segura a decepção que é de ver esse drama. Não me julguem mal não ligo do romance ser arrastado porem tem que ser bem feito , tem que te fazer ter vontade de assistir, um exemplo de um drama lento que deu super certo e eu amo é ‘When The Weather is Fine’, .
Em fim acho que você pode encontrar dramas melhorares para ver.

Let's start with the story, One Spring Night tells a tale of two people who fell in love despite the whole world telling them not to. They tugged at my heartstrings with their beautiful, mischevious relationship that not only had to bear the weight of internal struggles but also had to face the societal pressures that came along with being Korean. It's as much a social drama as it is a romance story, so please go into it keeping that in mind. The cultural differences will make some decisions hard to understand but all of them make perfect sense, regardless. Jeong In and Ji Ho's slow burn romance coupled with extremely lovable side characters, realistic and fleshed out "antagonists" (though I'm not sure if I want to call them that because they weren't inherently evil, just handicapped by their circumstances, upbringing and morals). All in all, OSN offers what most dramas tend to lack these days: authenticity. It makes you feel like you're there with the characters and you grow fond of them. A beautiful, minimalist love story.
The acting is so extremely well done that I don't even feel like I'm watching Jung Hae In or Han Jimin (or any of the actors for that matter). Everyone, EVERYONE, did a brilliant job of internalizing the characters. From the minor characters to the major ones, all of them gave a very natural performance that made me think that the characters were people that could actually exist IRL. I would also like to applaud the writing and directing. There are plenty of scenes whose artistic value could be seen even through my inexperienced eyes. The drama is a treat to watch.
I also really, really loved the music. It fit really well with the setting of the scenes. Best of all, I feel like the OST wasn't used to manipulate the mood of the show which gave it an even more authentic feel. It complimented the scenes and wasn't distracting at all. They do have limited songs playing in the background but tbh I didn't mind that at all. I'll think of OSN when I listen to We Could Still Be Happy haha.
I want to add that another reason why this drama is so special is because of its exceptional secondary characters. All of them feel like you could be friends with them. They're flawed yet extremely raw and realistic. They aren't caricatures or used as a plot device to further our main couple's story but instead they power through struggles of their own. They're all very different from each other but equally endearing. This show deserves an award for creating characters like them.
Anyway, I really loved this drama and it has become one of my favourite dramas of all time!

Redemption
You can't talk about One Spring Night without mentioning Something in The Rain.Because OSN is the result of what SITR could've been. It's about growth to both the drama and especially to the writer. One Spring Night is a take on modern Korea where the youth have to face the older generation, but not with guns or lawsuits, it's all about dialogue.
The first two episodes give the viewer an amazing introduction to the story, something most kdramas really fails to do, and the supporting cast is probably the best of the year. Every single person here has a story, no matter how much screentime they got. I dare to say that at least 3 or 4 supporting characters could easily have a drama to call their own, even if they just appear for a few minutes each episode. The music is soft and the editing makes the transitions between conflicts fit in nicely with the narrative.
Remember when I said this drama is about growth especially to the writer? Well, this drama is not perfect. It has its problems but that's what growth is. It's not a straight line to success. Don't come to this thinking all the missing points from SITR were fixed and that you won't get annoying sometimes. But the acting, damn, the acting.
I don't like to compare performances because I like to believe that actors can't only do so much if the script isn't good. But what an amazing performance by everyone.
One Spring Night is (once again) about growth, and I believe that the best score you can give to a drama is "I want to watch whatever this writer and director are doing next".
For the first time in a while, I feel bad that I can't see a drama on my 'currently watching' list anymore. There's no "I want to finish this quickly so I can watch another one" with One Spring Night. In a world where people consume so much media, not seeing a piece of content as a simple checklist is one of the best adjectives it can get. That's what happens with OSN.
Binge watch it, watch two episodes a week, whatever works for you. If possible, watch it on a Spring Night.

Many of you will know that SitR ties closely with One Spring Night, whether it be the casting, music or directing styles. This doesn't mean that OSN is simply a carbon copy. No, it's much more than that. This show is a picturesque amalgamation of modern romance, societal pressures and conservative values without the unnecessary plot devices employed by other Korean dramas. But that's just Ahn Pan-seok's (director) style, and it's why I am a huge fan.
Lets go through this methodically so I don't lose track of my objective here. OSN is a story of two people with their own complicated situations, falling madly in love despite the inevitable backlash that will result from the stigma imposed by their cultural values. This is also something that should be kept in mind. This is a story based within Korean culture and society so there may be huge differences in values to what you are used to. Nonetheless, there may be decisions and moments where the character's rationale is incomprehensible. I understand that, but try not to let it detract from your experience. All that aside, this is a drama that provides an important social commentary on modern day Korea's outdated values, something that Ahn Pan-seok (director) and Kim Eun (writer) have successfully conveyed in their earlier work, SitR. Akin to SitR, OSN provides a realistic take on the romance in question. While it is a gradual progression burdened by eventual complications, it is an authentic romance between two people that can't help but tug at your heartstrings and make you feel all giddy inside. There are one or two unresolved story points, but I feel that is largely appropriate and shouldn't be taken as a gripe. This is a realistic story and not everything can be resolved at once. The essence is that things have fallen in place and the rest will be resolved in due course.
Acting/Cast? Perfect. Jung Hae-In and Han Ji Min were both superb in their roles as the couple deeply in love despite their 'flaws'. Their chemistry was electrifying, similar to Jung Hae-In's performance with Son Ye-Jin in SitR. I truly do not believe that anyone else could pull of Han Ji Min's role as well as she could. That's not to say that the side characters weren't also quintessential to the story. Unlike many of the other dramas, the side characters in OSN are seamlessly natural in their performance and appropriately impactful on the main characters. They aren't caricatures or plot devices used to fuel the story, but rather, they have their own lives and accompanying struggles. Side note, it's a bit jarring seeing Kil Hae Yeon as an endearing and accepting mother in OSN, given that her character in SitR is quite the antithesis (and one of my most hated characters).
I feel like it's also appropriate now to talk about directing styles. As you can probably tell, I revere Ahn Pan-seok's modern-romance directing style. He has a way with capturing a scene that encompasses all the quiet nuances and raw emotional value in a colourful, minimalist fashion without any unnecessary distractions. These scenes convey a beautiful and somber melody that truly captivate viewers like myself. It's a style hard to perfect, and something that a lot of directors and producers should aim to achieve nowadays especially when grappling with romance.
The music in OSN was also flawless and appropriate to the story. It boasts the ensemble of Rachael Yamagata, who produced many of the OSTs in SitR, as well as a song from Oscar Dunbar and Carla Bruni. These songs aren't just great for their addictive repetitions on your phone, but they seamlessly blend into the settings of OSN. One song in particular, Spring Waltz by Carla Bruni. My lord, that song was perfect for OSN and an absolute delight to listen to. Even if you don't watch this drama, which I highly doubt by now given how much you must've read of this review by now, you should google that song and play it on repeat. These songs are limited, just like in SitR, but it shouldn't really be an issue.
Rewatch value is ambiguous. Personally, I'll be going through this again very soon (maybe in 2 or so days), but for others, it depends on your enjoyment for romance. I highly believe that this is a drama worth at least one rewatch. For the sceptics, give it a couple of weeks after you've finished the last episode to play it all again. I do concede, however, that I have seen SitR about 4 times by now, so there may be some slight bias but I know OSN will give it a run for its money.
Overall, OSN has ranked definitively in my favourite Korean dramas of all time. It's needless to say at this point in the review, but the casting choices, music and directing styles were all impeccable. OSN showcases a captivating love from one to another with endearing characters from varying social backgrounds. It's truly a romance that will keep you engaged in the show from all their ups and down. I will definitely miss seeing this on my 'Continue watching' list on Netflix, but all good things must come to an end. There is this faith between the main characters that persists throughout the show, and it's a faith I have for the romantic dramas to come from director Ahn Pan-seok and writer Kim Eun.

Where Something in the Rain tried and failed, One Spring Night tries and scores a home run.
He is "flawed", he is a single dad of a son. She's got a boyfriend at the start and are starting to talk about Marriage, but she's not on the same page and frustrated with the relationship. This sets up the tone for a story with lots of factors working against the couple, whether it's the notion that she might be considered to have "cheated" on her boyfriend, or whether others will accept that she wants to get involved with a single dad and all the "baggage" that brings. Parents on both sides bring challenges but they're different, the ML's parents are over protective about things that might bring him the kind of sadness that left him a single dad and the FL's parents are traditional and "difficult".
I was absolutely delighted with the FL's mother in this, you can see her growing and evolving around the changing situation around her and reacting in a really great and supportive way - even if it takes her a bit to get there. The same actress played the absolutely nasty mother in Something in the Rain so this was a redemption from my perspective, as odd as that might sound :)
Initially I was confused about why the FL wasn't being more direct about breaking up with her boyfriend, and I must confess that I'm married to my first love (24 years now) so... i'm totally inexperienced in this kind of thing... but as the story progressed I grew to appreciate that it hadn't been a binary switch-off, it made the time that things properly change that much more valuable when it happened, and also meant that her previous relationship wasn't trivialised and thereby her attitude to relationships in general wasn't.
It did also somewhat talk to one of my other general meanderings - if someone cheats, betrays a partner, and goes to someone else... surely the new partner must always have in the back of their mind - that person has already demonstrated that they have the capacity to change, to betray and to move on, what worked in their favour today could happen again but against them. The ML's insecurities about this surface at an important point and it creates some tension but I thought it was dealt with well.
There are other arcs in this as well, I think that the general arc that follows her and her sisters around and the things happening to them is probably just as important as the main love story.
I struggle to find flaw with this, I was just so happy watching it all the way through, other than towards then end when I realised I was going to run out of show and this amazing couple were no longer going to be in my life, but, i'll probably get over that when I start my next drama :-P
Highly recommended, and as the flow is not really ruined by knowing what happens, it makes it all the more easy to re-watch again if you want 16 episodes of lovely warmth to keep you company on a cold weekend.

This drama is so tiring to watch, and that's the reason why I loved watching this drama. It made me tired not because of its literary elements, rather because of its resemblance to the reality that we have as humans. How bounded it's by realism and its relatability is how it's able to sell itself to the large population of viewers. This isn't a drama you should watch when you need an escape. Rather, this is a drama you should watch if you want to be slapped by reality.
Arguably, this drama is welcomed with mixed reactions because of our own moral dilemmas. Some are saying that this drama romanticizes cheating. However, I think that's not the case. In our reality where cheating is usually seen as black-and-white, we realize how there are different shades of gray that comes into it. While the act itself is bad, we can see more of its complexity, giving us more room to understand. However, that doesn't mean we are condoning the act. The themes that the drama has are cliche but the way it's presented made it so interesting.
The characters in the drama are complex WHICH I THINK IS ONE OF THE IMPORTANT FACETS AS TO WHY THIS DRAMA WAS ABLE TO PRESENT ITSELF MORE EFFECTIVELY. Almost every character in the drama has an interesting and complex characterization which enabled the story to tackle several issues we see in our reality. Despite being a drama, its effectivity can serve as a commentary on modern Korean society with how raw and fresh it feels.
This drama is the second drama that Kim Eun wrote. With the reminiscent style of writing and vibe, I can confidently say how this drama highlighted her growth with regards her craft. While Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food felt like a prototype, One Spring Night felt complete and more realized.
I can only have praises for the acting and the casts of the drama. Most of the cast present in this drama can also be found from Pretty Noona Who Buys Me Food. With this drama, we can see their improved capabilities especially for the fresh faces like Jung Hae In. A year difference showed a lot of growth not only for the writer but for the actors as well. I honestly can't critique them negatively for the acting as I find it so compelling to the point that I really wanted to strangle Giseok and Sihoon because of how pathetic they are. ELECTRIC CHAIR!!!
I also have a lot of praises for the music this drama has. This elevated the emotions and the quality of the drama. It gave a nostalgic vibe with a spice of hopefulness and tranquility in every listen.
Overall I'm giving this drama a 9.5/10. It's not perfect in all honesty. However, the growth and charm the drama possess made it deserving of a high rating :>.

Story:
I will be honest and say the story outline is similar to SitR, focusing on a relationship that is heavily critiqued by the leads’ friends and family. I believe there are 2 key differentiators which are the strength of the supporting stories and the methodical pace of character development. The supporting cast gets a fair amount of development throughout the drama, and they, themselves, change instead of folding into 2D one directional characters. This actually adds to the “slowness” of the drama as precious time is diverted away from the main leads.
However, I do not find fault in the slow pace. I admit the 16 (32 halves) episode format changes the standard for pace, but I also believe that there is a range of acceptable pace in kdrama. I find bigger fault when the writer/director strays away from the slow pace to try to close certain plot points or make characters behave erratically, which OSN does not suffer from. If anything, OSN is not shy in leaving interactions with little explanation and limited expose/monologue.
This may make it harder for viewers to buy into the relationship between the main leads, but I thoroughly enjoyed the romance that resembled something out of real life rather than a kdrama. One lead doesn’t have to save the other or be connected via childhood past to develop feelings for one another. OSN is the closest example of a life-like relationship in a Korean drama; any more and it would be no fun as a drama (you know you’re trying to escape reality watching kdramas).
I applaud the director/screenwriter for running it back by producing such a comparable drama within one year. They improved on all areas of the plot from SitR and remained true to their style instead of bending to every criticism levied at SitR, which I still ranked at 7.5. I look forward to their next projects with a small longing for something more different.
Acting:
Let’s begin by looking at the Male Lead since, again, it's easy to compare to SitR. Jung Hae In’s acting is markedly improved from SitR. This may be due to his growth as an actor, the improved writing of OSN, the chemistry with the cast, more trust from the director, or some combination of all of the above. He displayed a wide range of thoughts and emotions throughout the drama, and I was especially impressed with his acting when facing the second Male Lead.
Similar compliments can be said for the Female Lead, Lee Jung In. And her chemistry with the male actor was amazing. The biggest evidence of this being how electric the dialogue between the 2 felt; Their conversations conveyed more chemistry than any of their skinship scenes. The acting of the 2 main leads really complimented the direction of the drama, which heavily focused on interactions rather than monologues.
The supporting cast also performed admirably. For example, seeing the FL’s mother in OSN can be quite a shock after watching SitR (or vice versa), but she still nailed both roles and truly deserved to be part of this cast. The FL’s sisters were also great and their acting really conveyed how their characters were shaped by their shared upbringing (and I have a soft spot for “sismance”).
Music:
Funnily enough, even a good chunk of the OST is sung by the artist who contributed to SitR, Rachael Yamagata. Although English in Korean media is improved, it does not compare to having a native English speaker. This should significantly improve the drama viewing experience for international viewers given that some subbers do not sub Korean lyrics.
The actual music works very well with the story and pace. I thought each of the songs in the OST carried tension, even the “happy” song. This tension is well utilized because the story does not have the outrageously tense moments of a thriller or typical melo, so the combination of the story and song was important in conveying conflict and emotional resolution.
Rewatch Value:
There is a high rewatch value for this drama given that it covers a multitude of nuanced issues. Even as a native Korean speaker, I plan to go back and rewatch the drama to better understand and enjoy the conversations and chemistries between all the characters.
The next episode previews were the worst part of this show, so I look forward to not having to deal with them now that it is fully aired.
