Flores de Cerejeira Depois do Inverno (2022)

É linda demais !!!

Plots coreanos quase sempre surpreendem, até mesmo quando são clichês eles inovam. Normalmente o plot de irmãos que se apaixonam vem de pais que se casam quando já tem filhos, mas nesse caso a "irmandade" veio de forma diferente. A história tem uma dose de drama, mas que não é incômoda, assustadora, é apenas um pouco de tempero em meio à tanta fofurice. Não cheguei a ver o webtoon, mas vi as críticas que são excelentes. Como já é um padrão coreano as séries com poucos e curtos eps, geralmente a história gira em torno de um núcleo central, até pq não fica muito tempo para desenvolver outros núcleos, algumas séries ate conseguem, mas é perigoso...

Apesar de muito simples, essa série nos encanta e envolve muito, os dois atores principais nasceram pra esses personagens, mas todo o elenco tem muita química também, a atuação de todos é excelente.

Essa série BL é surpreendente! Ela apresenta uma história encantadora e leve, mesmo abordando temas mais sérios. Embora haja alguns problemas, isso não prejudica o enredo como um todo. Apesar de ser uma série curta e com uma produção mais simples, ela transmite momentos adoráveis e emocionantes. Fiquei completamente apaixonado pela série e recomendo sem hesitação! Assisti logo depois de ler o webtoon, e fiquei muito satisfeito em ver que a adaptação é fiel e mantém a qualidade da obra original. O clichê de personagens com personalidades diferentes é visível

Jo Tae Sung enfrenta dificuldades na comunicação, mas revela sua gentileza, à medida que compreendemos seus motivos e nos conectamos a ele. Seo Hae Bom é delicado e sensível, porém também é trabalhador e resiliente. Ambos os personagens demonstram como as pessoas podem ser diferentes dependendo do contexto em que se encontram, e eles se complementam de maneira muito bonitinha. Embora não sejam perfeitos, lidam muito bem um com o outro e formam um casal muito fofo. A atuação não é impecável, mas ainda assim é agradável e não compromete a história. A questão familiar não é algo problemático ao extremo, os amigos são os melhores, e afora alguns erros na continuidade, não tenho reclamações. O bônus é ver o valentão da trama se dando mal e levando um belo cacete!

Não há como não recomendar essa série maravilhosa, amo demais, desde a ost, fotografia, filmografia, enredo, locações, tudo é lindo...

É FOFO MAS NÃO É GRANDE COISA

Esse é um romance fofo entre 2 meninos que vivem na mesma coisa e foram criados como irmãos mas na verdade eles se amam. Eu amo essa premissa e acho fofo quando eles estão juntos mas eu sinto mais amor do que paixão entre eles.
O que estrega muitas histórias pra mim é como a intimidade de casal não é construída na relação, parece bobo e eu me sinto assistindo um bromance. E é exatamente isso que acontece aqui.
Algumas cenas são legais e criam uma boa construção mas logo depois vem uma sequencia de cenas mais ou menos ou até mesmo ruins (não quero dar spolers), até a hora em que eles assumem a relação pra mãe eu não sinto muita paixão entre eles e isso é um problema pra mim, estraga minha experiência e eu me sinto vendo um romance entre duas crianças (culpa principal do Seo Hae Bom).
Enfim, não é pra mim.

Um BL leve, curto e perfeito

Me surpreendi muito com a Coreia com esse BL, a história é simples mas não é comum, dois amigos de infância que começaram a morar juntos e começaram a se amar de forma romântica. Até o momento é um dos melhores BL's que eu já assisti, a produção é bem simples, os episódios são poucos e curtos, mas eles conseguiram entregar um dorama perfeito com um ótimo roteiro em apenas 8 episódios. Apesar de poucos episódios eles souberam equilibrar bem os acontecimentos e nada ficou muito corrido ou incompleto, a história do Tae Sung e do Hae Bom é muito fofa e doce, mas mesmo assim os diretores não romantizaram totalmente o relacionamento dos dois e eu achei isso ótimo! Eles mostraram as dificuldades que os dois enfrentaram mas mostraram também que eles conseguiram resolver as coisas de uma forma saudável e madura, gostei muito também da forma que desenvolveram o relacionamento dos dois e a forma como as pessoas ao redor deles reagiram a seus relacionamentos, afinal sabemos que em uma relação fora do padrão nem tudo vão ser flores, mas mesmo assim eles não pesaram o clima da história e mostraram que não tem nada de errado com a relação dos dois.
Oque eu mais gostei além dos protagonistas terem sua própria história, foi a mãe do Tae Sung, achei que ela teve uma história incrível e complexa, e souberam desenvolver a personagem muito bem.
Como disse no começo dessa review a produção é simples, mas não tira a magia do BL, eles conseguiram utilizar muito bem seus recursos e achei que o dorama tem uma ótima qualidade. Os atores são incríveis e gostei bastante de conhecer o trabalho deles, eles tiveram lindos momentos juntos e conseguiram tirar grandes sorrisos de mim com vários momentos fofos e emocionantes.
Recomendo muito!!

Apesar dos problemas, eu realmente gostei muito, é tão fofo que pode te fazer vomitar arco-íris.

Essa série BL é surpreendente! Ela apresenta uma história encantadora e leve, mesmo abordando temas mais sérios. Embora haja alguns problemas, isso não prejudica o enredo como um todo. Apesar de ser uma série curta e com uma produção mais simples, ela transmite momentos adoráveis e emocionantes. Fiquei completamente apaixonado pela série e recomendo sem hesitação! Assisti logo depois de ler o webtoon, e fiquei muito satisfeito em ver que a adaptação é fiel e mantém a qualidade da obra original.

A série tem poucos episódios de curta duração, o que é algo que eu particularmente prefiro, e possui uma abordagem básica e encantadora, totalmente reconfortante. Os atores são talentosos e a trilha sonora é perfeita, eu realmente gostei. A trama não se torna cansativa e os episódios são curtos, possibilitando uma maratona rápida e envolvente.

Jo Tae Sung enfrenta dificuldades na comunicação, mas revela sua gentileza, à medida que compreendemos seus motivos e nos conectamos a ele. Seo Hae Bom é delicado e sensível, porém também é trabalhador e resiliente. Ambos os personagens demonstram como as pessoas podem ser diferentes dependendo do contexto em que se encontram, e eles se complementam de maneira muito bonitinha. Embora não sejam perfeitos, lidam muito bem um com o outro e formam um casal muito fofo. A atuação não é impecável, mas ainda assim é agradável e não compromete a história.

As amizades e os relacionamentos familiares neste drama são adoráveis, o que com certeza foi um dos meus pontos favoritos, assim como no webtoon. Fiquei muito satisfeito em ver essa dinâmica presente na adaptação, e especialmente gostei do personagem Cha Gun que nos dois formatos, escrito e visual, é o melhor de todos.

Definitivamente, vale a pena assistir. É fácil de maratonar e oferece muitas cenas reconfortantes. É como um bolo macio para a alma, com figurinos suaves, cinematografia suave e momentos delicados.

Série ótima e super fofa

É um BL muito bom e bem leve, mesmo quando a história fica um pouco mais séria eles conseguem entregar uma história suave. Acredito que o único defeito é que em algumas cenas de fim de episódio ao invés de ter continuidade no próximo episódio eles apenas cortaram (mas isso é uma opinião minha) mas nada que afete a história. Apesar de ser uma série curta e com produção mais simples eles conseguiram entrar muitos momentos fofos e emocionantes, você realmente se interesse pelos personagens e seus sentimentos e quer saber por que da atitude de cada um. Eu adorei a série e super recomendo!

Low quality but fluffy

This story may seem like just another teen romance, Icicle knight in shining armour (School uniform) saves the bullied "damsel in distress". But it actually does have quite a bit more to offer and has s slightly different angle than the one we are used to seeing.


Icicle ML seems to have spent 10 years completely lacking the ability to communicate when he now suddenly has to take it all at once and is therefore slightly obsessed, and oddly clingy... Hover he is very kind and we as viewers to ge too understand the reasoning behind it.

Weak ML is so weak it is almost made me wonder how he survived so far, he is however kind, forgiving and oddly enough the one character in this drama that is probably the most hard working self aware person in this drama,

The way they interact with each eother shows very clearly how people are different depending on the context they are in, and these two seem to bring out the best in each other, at least if you support clinging...

Non of them are the type to make you swoon but they do seem human , and seem to deal with their imperfections pretty well. Though I must add that the acting was far from perfect... it was still enjoyable and did not distract from the story.

The friendships in this drama are sweet and so are the parental relationships. There Drama has some tension ant there are definitely parts to make you nervous about their future parts that may raise your pulse and keep this from being too bland.

Deffenetly a decent watch, easy to bine and has lots of feel good fluff... soft clothing, soft filming, soft petals... soft cake... yep fluff all around...

A Blossoming Love that’s sweeter than Cherry !!

Lovely story and adaptation!

CBAW is a famous BL Manhwa with a cute high school love story. Even though I was having some higher expectations, I am glad it could prove its worth to me and hopefully other viewers too. One can definitely see the improvement in the idea of the adaptions and stories, as well as the growing attention for Korean BLs. I would recommend “Cherry Blossoms After Winter" when one strives for a cute LGBTQ+ series.


Production / Music 6.5 >> 7.5

PASSABLE - Same as "Oh! Boarding House" the series is not extra outstanding nor is there something they failed in. The story feels less forced and rushed than the older gay romance series we got from Korea, and I am sure we can expect similar dramas to be produced soon. However, what is to criticise is the choice of airing only one episode per week. Even though their general duration of episodes increased compared to the Korean LGBTQ+ shows we know from the past, with all the other series airing (Cutie Pie, You´re My Sky, ...), 25 minutes a week is not enough to keep their watchers attention. It may look like a minor problem at first but it can negatively affect the entire rating of a series that could have gotten more attention if it aired 2 episodes a week. A bit of wasted potential, not by the actors or the production, but by those who made the decision to air only one episode a week. Nevertheless, I like the implementation of the music! It matches the overall mood of the series.

Plot / Story 8.5 >> 8.0

REMARKABLE - The plot of the Manhwa got implemented very well, with no major criticism from my side. It is not easy to produce an adaption that doesn´t offend the original fans but I see no problem with this cute series. Both the characters and the actors are a visual match and the story is catchy, exciting and emotional. The story revolves around the fact that Tae Sung and Hae Bom, for the first time ever, got into the same class, despite sharing the same roof for ages. This reveals a secret that causes their relationship to flourish. I can´t get enough of high school dramas and youth romances even if they are that cringe!


Cast 8.5

SATISFACTORY - Ok Jin Uk and Kang Hui did not disappoint. They executed their roles well and captivated me with their chemistry. So cute! The Supporting Cast also showed an admirable performance. I´m at a loss for words for their performance this time, because I don´t have much to criticize.


Rewatch Value/ Overall 8.0 >> 7.5

"Cherry Blossoms After Winter" offers some incredibly cute scenes and is light to watch.
Therefore I would recommend this show to anyone who likes high school romances with a little bit of drama.

1080P story with 360P portrayal ?‍? Actors are 4K tho!

Edit/Overall: My complaint has been the same since day 1....too much story, too less time, hence skipping too much and only having canon shots. Other than that, the leads have been bomb since second 1. The supporting cast just supports like some columns to a building and do nothing more which is a little disappointing. But again it's a very big story but in 8 eps and we can't expect the writers to give big portions to the supporting cast. While I still love the manhwa more than the live adaption, I would still suggest you to watch it atleast once. It's good to watch it once.
Overall the series is OK.

Is it okay to write a review while only one episode of the show has come out?

I was very excited for this show for a long OBVIOUSLY because of the manhwa. I decided to make a weekly review if edits are allowed on reviews on MDL. If not it's still kwenchana. Go watch the series!

Ep 1: I liked the casting. Especially the mum. She looks so young man 🥲 for 49. I loved how they cut short a lotttt of scenes into just a few dialogues making the series jump to the main story right from the first episode ending. Can't wait for the second yay!

Ep 2: I was a little late with some work but here is it. There's nothing much canon in this episode, it's more like getting into the story that's it. We have two or three scenes which tell us about the pattern of the leads. So far it's all good. I personally LOVED the leads. The height difference is ✨ I think the series won't cover all life like the manhwa but would only focus till the time they get together or so. I liked the outro song. It's got really simple lyrics and simple meaning ❤️

Ep 3: This episode is quite disappointing to me. I understand they are skipping a lot of stuff just to focus on the main plot but in this episode the skipping game went overboard. There's a lot of things that missed pieces. Suddenly ML's friends knew that the MC and ML stay together? And in the camping the mom goes missing all the time and appears to deliver three dialogues? Kinda disappointing but let's see..

Ep 4: Hi besties! I'm back with ep 4 review. It is soft and goes really calm. The plot itself is really calming and the leads did right justice to it. But I still feel the lack of continuity from one scene to another. It might be because of the need to fit the whole story into 8 episodes. There could have been a better transition from one scene to another. For now that's a complaint. They got closer by ep 4, have to see how they'll tackle it here on. Also, I guess they made modifications in the story, as per the ep 5 preview. I'll be back soon!!

Ep 5: A big complaint I have is on Tae Sung who doesn't do/put his dishes away after finishing them. This episode felt extremely rushed to me. Extremely. As I already have the basic outline of manhwa (outline cause I forgot the details of it too, I read it a long back) I could comprehend the story pretty well. But if I were someone to watch it without knowing about the manhwa NGL I'll be pretty annoyed and drop the title. What does the mother do? Why does she always run away from here to there? Very accepting friends who can just get everything in an instant and get accustomed to the new changes? The noona from hae boms part time, she knows what he is going through with no single dialogue???? And Hae Bom changes his mind/answer within a few minutes of screen time??? SHOW US SOME GODDAMN BACKSTORY!! Sorry for yelling (caps mean yells). I mean yeah, I understand the time/episode limitation. But too much skippage (Idk if it's a word XD) is something that is taking away the essence of the story. There's no angst, I feel. It's just too much of 'having a question/problem', & 'finding it's answer/solution within the same episode'. But despite all this rush, they STILL managed to picture Tae Sung as the guy who reflects on his actions and apologizes. I really liked it when he said sorry for what he did. That's some green flag nature. We love green flag people. So yeah, if we exclude the extremely rushed plot or the ornamental support roles, the series even at ep 5 is still worth it to watch; Atleast once. And putting it here again, the leads are wonderful. They're not only attractive but are acting real real good. How is Hae Bom such a pretty cry-er? 🥺😭

Ep 6: It felt extremely sped up. The series is just jumping from one canon scene to another. I am not liking it much now. But I guess I'll still complete it

Ep 7: Why are they so cute? Actors and story are a 10/10 it's the time skippage and only filming canon scenes took away the whole flavour 😔

Needed two seasons for the amount of plot it covered (minor spoilers)

Overall: enjoyable but they needed 1 season for high school and a 2nd season for college. I read the beginning of the manhwa but don't remember it well. Watched on Viki.

Content Warnings: non-biological brothers raised as brothers from ages 7-17, bullying, punches, slap (not between m/m ship), manhandling, attempted non con kiss

What I Liked
- sweet moments like that jump hug/kiss
- good production value (except shaky camerawork)
- Hae Bom is a cinnamon roll who has character growth by the end (more confident/takes initiative)
- Tae Sung did apologize for something he did in episode 5 that was bad
- that Tae Sung respected Hae Bom's boundary at the cafe in episode 7

Room For Improvement
- my major complaint is it was too choppy/not fleshed out enough. For example, they say they are going grocery shopping and then the next scene 1 guy is in a shower...
- in episode 5 I really didn't like Tae Sung pushing Hae Bom against a wall and putting his hand around Hae Bom's throat, especially since Hae Bom has been bullied and then the mom's pretty calm about it...
- in episode 5 there is a dream but it looks like Hae Bom is actually remembering something and that would be non con because he's so drunk (but it was a dream)
- cliche evil wannabe girlfriend
- unknown time jump at the end
- the intro was too long/gave away too many future scenes

A bit cringy, a bit boring

Sadly, this korean bl suffers from what most korean bls I've seen suffers from. Low budget. It is so painfully obvious that they're just acting, it is almost impossible to imagine, even for a second, that it could be real.

No offense to Ok Jin Uk and Kang Hui, who did the best they could with what they had. But something about their interactions always feel off. I think it has to do with the sound. The sound of their dialogue sounds so harsh in all of their scenes. The drama in general sounds as if it was filmed by a couple of high school students. It feels cringy watching two people supposedly fall in love, when I'm constantly aware that they are just actors, who, let's be honest, are probably straight.

That coupled with the awkward script, and the too short episodes. As well as music that feels disjointed in the scene; makes you constantly aware that this is just a drama. Not once did I get lost in a scene because of how good it was. Not once did I feel giddy, or sad, or annoyed, or any other emotions. No feelings were evoked watching this.

So, although I am happy that SK is progressing so far as to produce lgbt dramas at all. I can't wait until some major networks greenlight lgbt dramas. But until that happens, be it 1 year or 10 years from now. I suppose I'll just have to abide by these web dramas.

And unfortunately, I usually find them very hard to watch. A for effort, but C for everything else.

Not even cute.

I think I’ve finally worked it out. For the longest time I’ve been scratching my head over how these shows are getting 9 and 10 stars, but I am confused no more - it must be that the Viki rating system is NOT, in fact, an indication of how good a film is, but a cuteness factor rating.

And yet, even armed with this new revelation, Cherry Blossoms did not rate a 9.6 on my cuteness radar, no matter which way I tried to look at it. 🤦🏽‍♀️

So let’s start with some context. This show is based on a webtoon of the same name, one which I didn’t necessarily love but still persevered through. I’m all for steamy romances but 150 chapters worth of smut was a bit hard to walk through, especially when webtoon Haebom looked uncomfortably too much like an underaged boy. Still, I skipped through it because it was hugely popular and I wanted to see what the fuss was about. I come across a lot of this weird combination in BL manga: super cute art in bright colours (in this case, lots of pretty pastels) paired with a truck-ton of explicit sex. It can be a very unsettling experience.

So why on earth did I watch the live-action drama, WHYYYYYY? Again, I guess curiosity got the better of me. And we all know what curiosity did to the cat.

Look, I’m a big fan of slice-of-life college romances in all forms and sizes. I love the newness, the thrills and the angst - oh the angst - of young love. But this really was nothing to write home about. If Kim Bok Joo is a deliciously fragrant, warm cup of tea in winter and I Told Sunset About You is a single origin, equal parts bitter and sweet latte, complete with expertly poured art on top, Cherry Blossoms is … is …. like a coffee franchise ice-blended red bean special that you thought might be a good idea cause you’re dead tired on an airport layover and thought you’d just give it a go.

So, some positives: they casted two fairly good-looking actors with a reasonable amount of acting chops. The support cast were also okay. The producers did what they could within their limited budget to still deliver the “pretty” settings - the house they grew up in looks the part as a “wealthy” home and the apartment they end up in is styled to a T. This is the least we’ve come to expect from a mid-level budget K-webdrama, so no surprises here.

I think ultimately that was precisely the main issue with this show: there is really nothing new here, not even by BL standards. Story aside (hard to rate the problematic storyline, because they were just being faithful to the original manhwa), the acting was okay and the chemistry was also okay-ish. The pacing was really not great and neither was the cinematography. Use of slo-mo in truly uninspired moments, and not even paired with a good score to try and improve these weird bits. The first half was actually better for me than the second half - at least the school bullying arc was interesting, as was seeing the boys trying to come to terms with their feelings. In the end the serious, dark bits ended up coming across as too incongruous with the rest of the show, which was just so much ice-blended red bean filler - a bit like the manhwa. It could have been cute, but it was largely dull or problematic, and quite a bit cringe.

Still, good shows don’t need to be life-changing. We still watch a lot of rom-coms with the same tropes over and over again - and we still enjoy them, as long as the show is done right. Unfortunately, Cherry Blossoms just came across as bland and uninspired. I’ll give it a 6, because it wasn’t God-awful, but just terribly meh.

So, should you watch it? Maybe, if you were dead-tired on an airport layover and didn’t have much else to do.
