A Well Paced Romance Drama With Solid Acting And A True Soul
I don't watch many full on romance dramas let alone finish all the 16 episodes, but When The Weather Is Fine managed to keep me invested in it's story line and characters from start to finish. The pacing of the love story felt very natural, never making me feel annoyed like many others do. The main story line often surprised me with its turns and never giving away too much about which direction its going.But I would argue that half of the power of this drama actually lies in the side characters and their relationship with each other and the main characters. Instead of being there just for for comic relief or to create a love triangle, they felt real and important. Many of them having their own story and character arc. Their opinions, secrets and actions having serious influence on the lives of the main characters and the main story line.
I partially started this drama because I was curious to see how Seo Kang Joon would deliver in a more serious drama and I was not left disappointed. He manages to take his character, who on the outside seems like a happy perfect son, and hints at us through his subtle acting that there is much more to him. He creates little cracks in this carefully crafted mask and shows us the loneliness and trauma that hides beneath. In many ways Seo Kang Joon's character reminded me of Kim Soo Hyun's character in It's Okay Not To Be Okay. Both hiding away their pain and true self in fear of causing pain to their loved ones. After finishing this drama a few days ago I caught myself thinking about his character from time to time. I feel like he delivered a solid performance leaving me at the end with the feeling that I truly got to know his characters and all his weaknesses.
Its been years since I've seen Park Min Young in a drama and was surprised to realize she was the FL. Similarity to Seo Kang Joon, her character was a bit of a mystery to me in the start, never giving much away about her thoughts or feelings. It's only through the flashbacks to her youth that you start to understand the pain and betrayal she's has endured and that have created this emotionless mask she puts up. It was honestly hearth warming to see both characters shed their past and come back alive the more they developed their relationship. I felt Park Min Young was well cast for this role as she was able to play the emotionally distant version of the character convincingly but without feeling too cold or dead. And as the story progressed she also managed to pull at your heartstrings in the emotional or happy scenes with her convincing acting. The more I watched the more I cared for her and loved her.
In conclusion I found the drama very engaging through its realistic and captivating characters, convincing acting and good pacing. I think this is a perfect drama for people who are interested in slow moving realistic romance dramas that really focus on character development and acting.

Rewatched 4 times..
Watching many dramas this is probably one of few at the very top, although it is a slow melodrama it really pulls you into the story of each character emotionally. It brings you back to life which not many kdramas do, its pure therapy. This drama has a very warm and cozy feeling that goes along with it. I recommend giving it a go, first few episodes are pretty slow but it is sure worth it!!Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Life isn't Fine it's Stormy & Messy
This series is a perfect example of having multiple diverging storylines & doing them well. Wrapping up each one with a conclusion that the viewer can empathize with & appreciate at the same time. I developed my love for the Actor Seo Kang Joon in this series. He has the most expressive face & his eyes tell all. I re-watched & enjoyed it the 2nd time more than the 1st. Park Min Young played such a beautiful character, she depicted how devastating it is for a friend to betray you especially in school. The story really shows how emotional devastation effects each character. The actors Moon Jung Hee & Kim Bo Young are significant in the movement of the story Fantastic series a must watch But do not expect a fast pace it is a slow pace like the country side it is depictingEsta resenha foi útil para você?
A light hearted drama with a right heart
When The Weather Is Fine didn't received much recognition like other dramas that aired in 2020, as it should have. A slice of life drama with a slow pace that tells us about the way of life through healing, loving and forgiving.The drama contains numerous thematic threads that are poignant and generally strikes a balance between melodrama and comedy. By exploring in great detail the relationships between characters, When the Weather is Fine underscores the small but precious responsibilities that come with love.
The true hero of this drama is its characters as they narrate their stories and show their perspective which feels quite relatable. Won't forget to mention the OST and BGM of the drama, it was one of the best soundtrack that I have heard in K-Drama. It was peaceful, soothing, melodious and at times, emotional as well.
This drama needs more attention and recognition that it received (stating on the basis of Ratings and # of watchers).
My Rating : 8/10

Watching this drama was an experience.
This one's a bit hard to summarize. It definitely qualifies as a slow burner. It's very immersive. Two main stories unfold: the love story, and the hidden family secrets story. Some side stories work; others are annoying.The love story works and the family secrets storyline is absolutely gripping. The acting is superb. Watching the primary cast play off each other was immensely satisfying. And it's all set in this moody, introspective winter environment with an ambient score. There are layers, revelations, poetry and philosophy, all metered out at a satisfying pace. I didn't watch it as much as let it wash over me.

heart feels warm and happy
Cinematography: Brilliant soft focus. Great shots of conversations at the bookclub and also a great capturing of the scenes of rural life. Park Min Young and Seo Kang Joon GLOOOWWWWMusic: I love that the music was more on the instumental side, I will not forget the theme. And also the comedic sound, beautiful.
Characters: I loved the side characters so so much. Each felt like a well embodied character and especially love the little forays into backstory that come from the characters... and the varying relationships within the plot
Plot: Just love love love the way it handles poetry and literary prose into the episode structure. A story within a story moments were my favorite. The love story mattered of course, because it was about two people who have past trauma coming together. Not too overwrought on the melodrama. I love the women centric and especially issues of consent and violence handled. A soft tribute to honest relationships... refreshing nonetheless.
Pace... not for the content overloaded social media scrolling addict. Its about relaxing, experiencing love and giving it time.
overall such a loving and warm drama. loved all the side characters and also the exploration of trauma. without cliche and the plot line felt consistent throughout. Will watch again in the winter time.

An under rated K-series
"When the Weather Is Fine" is a beautifully crafted series that often flies under the radar, yet it deserves far more recognition than it receives. The show delicately weaves a story filled with innocent emotions and poignant moments, making it a standout in the realm of romantic dramas.The performances of both the male and female leads are particularly noteworthy. They bring a depth and authenticity to their characters that is truly captivating. Their chemistry radiates warmth, and their slow-burn romance unfolds in a way that feels both genuine and refreshing. It’s a reminder that love doesn’t always need grand gestures; sometimes, the simplest moments are the most profound.
The series also touches on domestic issues, but it does so with a light touch that prevents it from becoming overly preachy. This balance allows the narrative to remain focused on the characters and their emotional journeys rather than being weighed down by heavy themes. The gentle exploration of life’s complexities only adds to the series' charm, inviting viewers to reflect without feeling overwhelmed.
Overall, "When the Weather Is Fine" is a treasure that beautifully encapsulates the essence of love and human connection. It’s a romantic slow burn that warms the heart, making it a must-watch for anyone seeking a heartfelt series that captures the intricacies of life and relationships.

this show surprised me
I was not expecting this but I am so pleased.Sometimes warm, sometimes heartwrenching, sometimes sweet, sometimes bitter... it was a rollercoaster of emotions.
Got really attached to the hometown and almost all of the characters I am going to miss some of them dearly. The actors did such an incredible job I was amazed by all of them, even the small roles.
In conclusion, such a classic! A k-drama staple which is worth to rematch for comfort <3
The couple also had a lot of chemistry which sometimes can be hard for slow slice of life k-dramas but they made my heart beat so fast!!

good but expected more…
i was looking for a winter-y kdrama and this is one of the most recommended dramas i found on reddit… everyone said it was super good/one of their favorites and so i thought it had to be a 10/10.the show was nice, it was cute, but i got bored for half of the show… personally i think it could’ve been more like 12 episodes. maybe i went in expecting TOO much from it. the only plot lines i didnt get annoyed with were jangwu and im hui’s stories. i thought they were both adorable and brought fun.
