I love slice of life and I'm so happy it's making it's way into the drama world. On one hand we've got more big production dramas like The King: Eternal Monarch and on the other hand we've got Something in the Rain and this drama right here.

Wiki's description of slice of life is a 'narrative technique in which a seemingly arbitrary sequence of events in a character's life is presented, often lacking plot development, conflict and exposition'. That description makes it sound boring and it's true that if done poorly it is boring but when done well, and this drama has done very well, it delivers the emotional highs and lows that an 'everyday' person experiences.

This drama sets up that emotional experience from the start - in the title 'I'll go to you when the weather in nice'. What do you feel when you hear that? For more context how do you feel when looking at the poster of a snowy day with 2 people standing together staring out at the snow with their backs against a warmly lit building. Can you imagine those days where it's freezing but the snow is beautiful and relaxing, holding a cup of hot chocolate and staring out at the snow drifting, falling? If not snow, how about a rainy day? At your back is a warm heater that is safe and cosy and by your side is your best friend, your partner, who is all you need in dreary times, your comfort and your shelter.

The characters were great and there were all these little nuances that were needed to truly bring these characters to life. The cast delivered more than I ever could have expected. I've always known Seo Kang-joon to be amazing but Park Min-young was a surprise, she may be a veteran and Healer may be my favourite drama but I'd not have expected to see her being able to pull off the despondent, quiet Mok Hae-won. Her characters have always had more spunk.

I loved Kim Hwan-hee as Im Hwi, her character was the light of the drama as much as Im Hwi was for her family. Lee Jae-wook came out of nowhere last year and he is killing it. I went from watching Extraordinary You to this and did a double take at how different he was.

It was amazing how I was feeling those cold snowy days where you feel so alone and wonder what am I doing here, I have no where to go. But I was also feeling those warm moments of discovery and joy especially in the scenes where they would all gather next to a fire in the middle of a cold snowy night and chat and laugh while eating hot snacks and drinks. I travelled with Mok Hae-won through this journey and it was wonderful.

The music is as beautiful, soft, sweet and comforting as the drama is. Unlike other dramas they might use loud music for a dramatic moment, this one does the opposite and cuts off that music to descend into silence. Stillness. Like the tree that's lost all it's leaves and is silent, barely swaying in the wind.

This drama is all about the little joys in life, what do we really need to be happy? To feel secure? To be comfortable? Who is there for us when we are down? It's a beautiful masterpiece balancing the cold and lonely moments with our warm serendipitous ones.

Quote: All My Firsts by Cha Yoon Taek
Do you know what warmth is?
She asked me, and I answered
It's when my cold hand touches your cold hand and we both become warm.
When loneliness meets loneliness and becomes cosiness.
When sadness meets sadness and becomes happiness.
When a cool breeze collides against another cool breeze and becomes soft snow.
That's what warmth is.
