When my Love Blooms was a refreshing Spring in a deserted land, an oasis upon which the cracked hearts may blossom again. In this drama, we take a look at the true nature of Love and the Human Spirit through the lens of time. I loved, sighed and cried throughout this series and largely base this review of my experience throughout the journey. Joo Yi Tae and Lee Bo Young became two of my favorite Korean Actors as their characters strive to find their way back to their hearts and to that which truly mattered within their Being. As they navigate the real chasm of their current life, back to each other, they have to face the long forgotten or denied aspects of themselves through the mirror of each other. Their younger versions played by Park Yin Young and Joen Seo Nee were endearing and moving. Their fresh, youthful idealism was delightfully portrayed as they came into themselves, who they wanted to be in this Life, and felt true Love for the first time. The writing and directing highlighted the perseverance of Truth in their Story. I was touched by the beautiful imagery throughout. It was sometimes heartbreaking and at others cathartic. All in all, very satisfying to watch. Highly recommended. It is rare that we get to examine a deep, mature experience of Love such as this in a Korean Dramas, which often favor the youthful infatuation stage of coming together. I truly appreciate this type of work. I hope to see Joo Yi Tae and Lee Bo Young continue to be cast and work with production teams that will continue to show and develop their talent as artists.
