Growing (2020)

Good Enough

" Growing Season " is a drama between the more mature ones that Playlist Global started producing in 2020 and the more cute, romantic ones, like Love Playlist. It had a more realistic approach to how young women see love and romantic relationships, but it also had some adorable pairings and some entertaining love stories.

However, I must admit that those love stories were predictable. They were adorable, don't get me wrong, but they were a bit 'cheesy' because the main mood of the drama was too realistic for that approach. Fortunately, the main highlight of the drama was the friendship between the three girls, their girl talk and their struggles, so that let down can be overlooked. The girls had real-life problems and real-life concerns and the drama did not shy off from subjects like intimacy and STD.


Finally, the pace was just right for the story and the performances were very good from everyone in the cast.

So, overall, 8 out of 10.

Interesting

"Growing Season" is all about love, sex, finding and loving yourself, and having a good community. The story was predictable but satisfying. I love how they all took care of one another, physically and emotionally. They left the ending of Hayoung open-ended which I didn't like because that would mean a season 2. I don't like season 2s especially for this mini-drama because I think the writers are just going to drag it out. I honestly liked the "friend" dynamic between Soo Ha and Ah In more than their "lovers" dynamic. Ji Yoo and Seo Bin had pretty good chemistry. One thing that didn't satisfy me was the kiss scenes. For a mini-drama that is based on sex, I would say that I expected better kisses. But, who am I to judge? Overall, I would recommend it for a mini-drama.
