Flores de Cerejeira Depois do Inverno (2022)

adopted brothers who haven't spoken for the past 12 years, some how find love

The average for this one was 8.75 stars out of 10 stars. So I rounded down to an 8.5 stars out of 10 stars. I don't know what my headline is going to be yet. This was a light watch with a mid-plot. I am going to see what my reviews are for the episodes and just overanalyze because there's literally nothing else I can talk about. The show jumped around a lot, like huge time skips that left me confused as fuck. They could have filled them in, added a few more episodes, and pulled on our heartstrings some more. The acting was also pretty mid, but that's fine. Usually the plot makes up for it, but this time it didn't, sadly. Okay.

Starting off, it was a pretty cutesy show. I already knew it was going to be light work. Haebom's actor was a cutie, and I fell in love with him and the vibe of his character. We had some adopted brothers who hadn't had actual conversations since they were literal children. That was interesting because they were not even talking to each other at home or at school. I could tell one of them thought of the other as more than just an adopted brother, just because of the awkward tension and vibes the two of them gave off.

I would have finished this sooner, but work sucks. I started this 11 hours ago today, and then episode 2 three hours ago. We met Haebom's "friends" the two annoying motherfuckers. One who outmatched the other one in annoyingness. I could tell what Haebom's character was just by the way he was being treated by those two, the way he thought, and the way the people around him looked at him.

I was thinking that the whole Haebom going to college thing was going to be an issue because they brought it up like five times. It wasn't, which is good, I guess. We find out that Taesung has a crush on our baby, and I thought it was going to be the other way around for sure. The headline goes crazy; I just made it. It was some one-sided childhood romance on top of a high school trope. So they were just smacking tropes in here, lol.

The mom. I love her, but I could tell she was going to be a problem in the future because of the way she worries. That was the prediction I got right; the other ones I didn't get right. Then the high school phased out so fast that I didn't even know that they were going to college or university already. That made me very confused.

The two of them work themselves out and figure it out. And keep going, which was good, because I hate when we are waiting on the couple to work their shit out and not other people trying to tear them apart. That just gets on my nerves.

I was manifesting their downfall for some reason. I am going to bring it up again because they needed to explain the jump. Bro was like, Yeah, I talked to my dad. Who we didnt even see and the moms said no. And tae is like I am moving out and taking haebom. And the mom just lets them. Like what? Some confusing ass shit

The mom was unintentionally ruining them because of keeping secrets and all that jazz. In the end, she just wanted the best for them. So good for her. just poorly executed. Yeah, that's kind of it.

The ending was mid, but it was a short show that was cute and easy to watch. I liked the visuals and the vibes; just the plot and acting were mediocre, like the ending. That's really it. Okay bye!

Fluff, Flat, Forced

The story in Cherry blossoms after winter could have been interesting in some ways, however it doesn't work at all here. The dialogue, set environments and overall interactions between characters felt forced, flat, most of the time unnatural and not believable. The tropes and interactions are very cliche and cringey at times, and the story between the two leads feels very unfulfilling and spontaneous with the background we're given. I'll give some props to the lead actors for the amount of chemistry they were able to have at some points being there were some decently romantic moments, however the overall performances felt very mundane. I don't want to say it was the acting exclusively because the script was very clearly low quality. Any conflict felt too quickly solved, everything in general felt too sudden and more often than not, boring. The only story line that felt somewhat interesting was with the mother's, and even then It could have been done a lot better. If what you are interested in is an untraditional BL that involves "brothers" falling in love like Cherry Blossoms, I'd highly recommend "Unknown", a Tai BL adapted from the "Da Ge" Novel by Priest, which I also recommend. A way more interesting plot with heavy themes, lots of character depth, a believable world and love story; it really is on another level than Cherry Blossoms. Overall, I wouldn't recommend Cherry blossoms after winter, but if you're into fluffy romance and don't mind a very predictable, cliche, flat production then knock yourself out I guess.

Worth the watch

I already completed reading the manhwa with the same title. The plot and story is completely pure, cute and fluffy.
As of now, after watching the first episode, I found the same adaption from manhwa and drama is quite fast paced.

I am very excited to see the characters (from manhwa) in persons and I found every character played their roles well. Acting is to the point. No awkwardness.
For those who are not aware of the genre.. ITS BL?
Homophobes please skip it.
As a huge fan of BL, I really loved the manhwa and drama (ep 1) as well.
Though it may seem a bit early to give good review just watching first episode, I can guarantee that its worth the watch.
I totally recommend watching this drama.
