Irei Quando o Tempo Estiver Bom (2020)

Mengkesel

Sinematograinya ciamik banget, sangat calming. Latar perdesaannya terasa banget, kehangatan warganya sampai ke penonton. Sayangnya si tokoh utama (mok hae won & lim eun seop) ngeselin banget. Euh pengen w pukul itu mereka berdua.

Mok hae won sosok yang paling egois di cerita ini. Dia merasa cuma dia yang paling menderita di antara semua orang. Bener kata kim boyoung, mok haewon cuma mau nerima sesuatu yang flawless tanpa goresan sedikitpun. Dia mau semua orang membagikan cerita mereka ke dia, sedangkan dia sendiri kalau ada masalah hobinya lari ?

Sedangkan lim eun eunseop ini terlalu baik. Hadeeuuuhh cowo yang terlalu baik itu emang ga baik, bund. Apalagi dia yang gabisa bilang 'enggak'. Selain itu juga daya juangnya rendah banget???? Euh. Bikin turn off sih kalo gue ketemu cowo modelan kaya begini. Malah kerenan si oh young woo kata gue mah.

Justru menurut gue kisah para side character yang malah lebih menarik. Apalagi kisah Ibu dan Bibinya Haewon. Lim hwi juga gemes banget actingnya, annoyingnya pas buat sosok adek. Lee jang woo sama ji eunshil juga malah lebih gemes.

Soal musik dan ost biasa aja, ga ada yang spesial. Tapi narasinya oke!

My personal opinion only

Acting: Seo Kang Joon as Jin Ho was excellent. He didn't say much, but then he doesn't have to. He just has to BE. What he said in the voice overs was beautiful, but I kept wondering why he never verbalized any of his thoughts. Park Min Young as Hae Won - in my opinion, she can do no wrong, she's that good in everything she does. However -
Characters: Jin Ho kept everything bottled up inside. Hae Won reminded me of Eeyore, she was so morose all the time. There were some other interesting characters in this show as well. I loved the scenes with the book club meetings.
Music: The music was wonderful and went perfectly with the show.
Cinematography: There is no question that this show was beautifully filmed. The camera angles, the scenes in nature, the close ups.
Story: Here's where it goes wrong for me. The story itself might have been really good, but this was one of the slowest shows I've ever seen. I like a good story as much as the next person, but when you show scenes again and again of making coffee and tea (are we in a Folger's commercial?) or take five minutes showing the female lead walking up a road dragging her suitcase behind her, that's just too tedious for me. There was so much quietness in this that I felt like no one was talking to each other.
I would, however, say to give it a try for yourself, since I am definitely in the minority on this one.

I started watching this because I'm a stalker-ish fan of Seo Kang Joon and also enjoy dramas featuring Park Min Young. I thought Park Min Young struggled to get into her character because of the amount of melancholy her role carries, Seo Kang Joon was very good and, as usual, portrays an enormous amount of emotion through his eyes. Those are moments I envy the cameraman. That being said, all of my anticipation for the two main leads was absolutely diverted by the actresses portraying sisters, Jin Hee Kyung and Moon Jung Hee. These two absolutely crushed their parts and became the coolest female characters I've seen in a while. Rewatch value is nil for me because in the current corona-times, I struggle with shows that have a lot of emotional realism, but I would highly endorse it just for the actresses mentioned above. I'm seriously considering sunglasses at night because they made it look so freaking awesome.

so...you did all that for what?

this was a strange one. i watched it purely because i like park min young and i've never seen seo kang joon act. i wasn't necessarily disappointed since i had no expectations, but it was just too boring for my tastes. i watched it less than a week ago but i feel like i can't remember anything other than beating around the bush.

it's a very cute story but i think i'm too gruesome or something. i expected his sister to get kidnapped since they kept on showing her riding at night. i quickly learned that this is just a cute drama about a small town love. that being said, even though it's cute...it's kinda not that great. park min young was cute and great, that's what we expect from her, but the plot didn't offer much. it just didn't offer much. her family dynamic was so whatever that that's how i felt eventually

slice of life to the bone. give it a try if you like love. they seem to do that

i will say that they did a good job casting the mom and aunt. those actresses looked identical and i kept on getting them mixed up. so yay, they look related. i just think it's interesting how much everyone said they're beautiful when the mom looked kinda...average (maybe a lil botched)?

Each Chapter, a Bedtime Story

This show is slow paced. It moves so slowly that its pace is an integral part of what makes When the Weather Is Fine itself. It's very serene, and beautiful. Please don't come here, complain that nothing happens, and say it's boring. It's like looking for fresh salad in the canned goods section; you're looking for the wrong thing in the wrong place.

Now we've realigned your expectations, let's get into what makes When the Weather is Fine so charming.
I'm sure many have heard of the term slice-of-life, but as it's less of a common genre in dramas I'll brush over it. As the name implies, the genre explores the everyday lives our characters experience. These shows are often quiet, relaxing, and nostalgic. They treasure the mundane moments that make us smile, and focus more on developing characters than plots (although that isn't to say there never is one). This is what makes them so slow, because unlike other genres, which cut the fluff to move on to the next exciting thing, here, the fluff is the story. Now, before you think "well that sounds naff, I'm out of here" please don't think that you get nothing in exchange for the usual mix of tension and excitement. The time you spend getting to know characters intimately in their quiet and average moments, allows them to burrow deep into your heart before you realise it. There is a great sense of sincerity to be found in good slice-of-life. When the Weather is Fine is just that.
For those of you who watch other foreign media, this show may remind you of independent European films in its approach, the long silences that allow you to breathe. It's as cathartic as listening to waves on the shore, and just as relaxing. I fully invite you to fall asleep to this show after a long day. You'll have peaceful dreams, I'm sure.

However there is an intriguing story in here too, so if you do take up that offer, be sure to re-watch the parts you missed. Rather than a story, perhaps I should say a series of events, that unwinds and unravels the past to allow the characters to move on in the present, and gradually builds as the series progresses. (You've probably heard of that apparently disposable thing called character development, even if you don't see it as often as you might. Well, now you have a village's worth of it.) It gives the show a great sense of healing, and this is also where that catharsis really comes in.
Aside from the changes in the characters lives, spanning the course of the series, each episode is named after a short story, or poem, initially told to us by the good night book club. What makes this special, is how the characters receive these stories, use them to reflect on their own situation, and return them to us with a personal meaning. It makes you consider the different feelings they might bring to different people, but at the same time it's as though you are receiving a precious secret, a part of their heart, and then again like you are part of the book club, sharing snacks and jokes. It makes you care for the characters differently when things happen to them, because they feel like real people you've spent time with.

If you're looking for something to put you on the edge of your seat, this is not it. But if you're looking for something to wind down with, something to heal your soul or warm your heart, then this is quality content. Cosy up with your hot chocolate and blankets, and to all dear readers, I wish you a very, very good night.

Slow paced, beautiful, haunting

I only gave this a chance because I saw it was centred round a bookshop, and as a book lover, with a weakness for anything about books, libraries and bookshops. I saw so many reviews saying "slooooow" and "boring" that I wasn't expecting much.

Well yes, it is slow paced, very slow placed but for not a minute of the 16 episodes did I feel bored or not want to carry on watching. In fact, I now want to live in The Goodnight Bookshop, the coziest, quietest book shop I have ever seen, with just the soothing sound of Eun Seob pouring the coffee.

I really enjoyed the slice of countryside life, the beauty of the passing seasons and how the seasons are marked, both on the land and in people's lives. And the scenery and cinematography, just stunning, The backstories for all the important characters come to light very slowly but that's as it should be. It adds depth and richness to a story of simple, ordinary people. It is Eun Seob's character that ties the whole drama together, despite him not saying a great deal, his eyes say all that needs to be said.

If you are in the mood for edge of your seat, thrill a minute, laugh a minute, this isn't it, but if you are looking for something quiet, slow, real, life affirming, give this story of loss, betrayal, secrets, sadness, forgiveness and the happiness to be found in small things, a chance. I think this is a drama that will appeal to those of a particular taste, and I am definitely one of them.

Many good qoute in this drama

My favourite quote is by Lee jang woo character
" People may call its mundane life . But working hard and living ordinary life is also happiness"

I'm just finished watching this drama.
What i like :
A good drama for winter season. I like the cinematography and the bookstore settings. I like the scene when all the bookstore club member get together, read book and share their opinion. The supporting character is interesting like hae won auntie, eun seop sister and lee jang woo.

What i disliked:
I like this kind of genre but maybe just for me, the flow is soo slow. It takes me a almost 1 month break before continue finishing this drama. Maybe i not too fond for the both main character that why i feel like that. But its still a okay drama and for me maybe i would never rewatch its again. It too slow paced for me.

this drama start so slow. okay let's say it's over all slow drama they force that "we are warm" "that place is warm and people who live in there are warm" in your face in the start with some poems here and there. but honestly that was the weak point in the drama.. but i some how end up enjoying it
if we look in the drama after that warm push, it start give us good story with nice characters. i was surprised that they have good back ground to the characters and why they are like this but they didn't push it on the start instead the push the warm feel that i don't buy..
Honestly i was ready to drop they drama in ep2 but i loved Eunsub character so cute and warm not the usual lead , if not for him i would have drop this for sure especially i'm not fan of the FL acting but then i'm glad i didn't because i love Eunsub back story and the story of the sisters (the FL mom and aunt ) that they tell so late on the show. another weak point to the writer if you have good story use it well.
ah if you going to watch this for Jae Wook don't!!! he appear for 2 min every ep i hate this the most they have a lot of time that he could use but they use it on stupid things.

acting was good for me this is kang joon best acting , as usual Park Min Young just act the same that's why i'm not fan for her.
Music was nice but the osts are forgettable.
over all i don't count it as bad drama

Leia Mais

garbage

I am on episode 15 at 51 minutes and 31 seconds and the FL is telling the ML that she is leaving. After he making a big deal of confessing her love to him and making him go along with her love bullshit. The ML even said everyone leaves. His uncle said it too but he went against his gut and experience for her. After this is when i decided to read spoilers and found this:

"Ok good movie BUT, The lead actress takes off leaving the boy behind then gets (and this is reason for question) no job offers to play music and has tough time making a living in city, so she decided to go back home, but, not because she loves the boy, that is part I can’t figure out, is she just coming back to play with him till a better job comes around? Plus the aunt leaving left questions to her future, just didn’t seem to fill out the final product..if someone has a better view on these issues please let me know..thanks"

Both are enough to make me drop this dumpster fire of a kdrama!

I love love loved this, the simple healing slow winter mood was perfect. the couple dynamics was beautiful, but I think they failed to balance that and the "melo" feel..

when the drama started we had a looming dark cloud. Mok Hae Won left the city to "get away" from something traumatizing, and Im Eun Sub had a "dark" past, but as the drama progressed both stories felt too simple?

Mok Hae Won story was that her workplace didn't appreciate/mistreated her and Im Eun Sub's parents weren't his real parents.
also, when we finally reached Im Eun Sub's arc, he just met his uncle and made it seem like he's being forced to leave the village and he had to make a big decision, either he leaves or Mok Hae Won would leave him becasue apparently just becasue she lived in the city for a while it meant that she isn't supposed to be able to choose to stay..

then fast forward to the end, and suddenly she breaks up with him and moves to the city, as if they couldn't keep it long distance until she figured out her own "feelings" with her mom/aunts arc... as if her problems was with him ;/

speaking of the mom/aunt. from the mom's letter in the last ep, it seems like the husband was beating her for atleast 10 years, and yet Mok Hae Won was still upset that he was accidentally killed (also, why couldn't they just talk it out! lay everything on the table), sure she loved her sweet dad, but he was a psychopath, and they didn't mean to kill him...
and this is why I think it gets messy, the writers didn't balance it well, they got greedy for melo and forced breakups..


I loved the book club meetings, but again it felt like most of those characters were just fillers.
Im Hwi was kinda really annoying, she forced her crush on people, that's not normal. of course they'll run away.. she was kinda the opposite of Im Eun Sub who kept his feelings hidden for 10+ years xD
but this is what I liked about Mok Hae Won x Im Eun Sub. sure the long time crush might get weird, but when they met again he was subtle about his care, and Mok Hae Won naturally fell for his sweet caring side.
and she was such a normal person in a relationship while Im Eun Sub was the easily flustered type and they made a sweet couple.

Lee Jang Woo was wasted potential. he was a normal friend not involved in a main love triangle, he had a normal beautiful friendship with Im Eun Sub. he was kinda the outgoing vr of Im Eun Sub. and he also had his own 10+ one sided crush and he was too good for that girl. unlike Mok Hae Won, she knew Lee Jang Woo liked her consistently ever since they were in highschool and she always teased him about that, while never actually looking at him, and it took her 0.1 seconds to suddenly "fall" in love ;/ and then she blamed him for not saying those things the 1st time he confessed ;/

anyway, the ost was nice and I never rewatch stuff :)

Some dramas are disliked due to its silliness. Some are disliked because it stroke a wrong but true cord in our heart. That is how I feel when watching this drama, the later one.

Watching Hae Won felt like watching myself being made into a show. Her coldness, her silliness, her stubborness, her love toward Eun Seob and her family, and her pride hit a little close to home. That's the reason why I don't really like her and criticize her misdeeds so much. I can see myself doing the same thing. Well, except that love scene, that is too irresponsible for me. Everyone here felt like a dream, except her. They don't show any flaw, at all, even the mother and the aunt. She is the most human out of everyone, because everyone else behave so reasonable and according to moral values so much.

But actually, that is just my rant because her character became a really selfish person in the last 4 episodes. When everything is revealed and we can see how she reacted. So, watch at your own risk.

There are plot holes of course. Ones that I think are major plot holes, but alrighty then, Writer-nim. It can be assumed what actually happened in those gap of knowledge, although it doesn't feel satisfying.

The pacing was just per-fect. Some may say it was awfully slow, but that's its charm. Enjoy this with a cup of hot tea or any beverages that you like. Better in a snowy or rainy night. And sleep when you feel content and enough. Then, repeat on the next day!

The cinematography and music is straight above the standard. They made me fall in love the first time. It felt like, you know, watching those ASMR daily life or cooking channel on youtube that has calm music and beautiful pictures. Also, I've said this but, you can really study using this drama as a white noise. Well, just skip the chaotic parts, which were so few. And what can we really say about the acting, except that it is perfect. Everyone played their role remarkably well.

I would say, people should rewatch this for its moral value, for its beautiful scenes and sounds, for its happiness and calmness that people would feel, and for its quotes and beautiful sayings.

Somehow relaxing

I'm glad I had a change of heart and watched this drama. While there were a few things I would have changed, overall I ended up really enjoying it mostly. The pace is slow but it has a relaxing feeling. I so loved the feeling of the community and the ordinary lives of the characters. And yet, there was also some underlying seriously dark issues that the drama dealt with, while still maintaining a warmth that kept me coming back.

PMY and SKJ were wonderfully cast as the leads and had a surprisingly palpable chemistry. The showed their acting chops as they both had to convey a lot of emotion sometimes with little dialogue.

The music was lovely, and fit the mood of the show well.

Don't miss the epilogue for each episode where the ML writes a bit in his journal. It's probably the biggest insight into his mind that you'll get! :)

I would definitely recommend for people that can handle slower paced dramas and/or slice of life style shows. But not if you prefer constant action or big dramatic scenes.
