A Drama that Warms Up Quite Nice
Our Beloved Summer is a wonderful drama that does a fantastic job in telling the story of a cast of characters that have such a deep history that they share with actors that do a perfect job in selling that dynamic. I have to say I was initially put off with the first few episodes with how the main leads, Ung and Yeon Su were when interacting especially the main female lead, Yeon Su regarding how cold and distant she was as a female lead. But the drama didn't linger around that personality for far too long and explained her disposition and why she acts the way she does. The main male lead Ung was an extremely relatable and down to earth lead that was instantly connectable for me within the very first episode.The secondary love interests were good however I found Ji-Ung to be a sort of detestable character that had no real redeemable qualities. Most if not all of his actions towards his best friend were completely reprehensible. He has to be one of the worst secondary love interests I have ever seen. But the secondary female love interest, NJ, was such a breath of fresh air when it came to the secondary love interest category. Her bright and charming personality made me look forward to her scenes every episode and while Ji-Ung's detestable loathsome actions, NJ made up for it with her admirable pleasant actions. The rest of the supporting cast was enjoyable and did a great job in carrying along the story both inside and outside the main plotline.
The one thing this drama did absolutely perfect was allowing for the relationship of Ung and Yeon Su to have screen time. Dramas tend to only have the final episode or two be the time period where the main characters relationships to have screen time which unfortunately causes a lot of crunch time, however this drama started, well, re-started the relationship many episodes before the end which allowed the two main characters to interact in such a refreshing and lovely way.
The OST was perfect with great songs from 10cm, Ha Sung Woon, Kim Yung Hee, and especially The Giving Tree by Lee Seung Yoon. I'll definitely be listening to this drama's OST for months to come. The cinematography and quality of the drama was perfect as well, I like the way the drama presented the past, present, and recent memories with the different filming styles from the full screen to widescreen formats.
One final thing, also the drama definitely delivered on one thing, Ung's final drawing and who his first ever person he would draw. That made this drama an instant classic for me. I would 100% recommend this to everyone and definitely would be revisiting this to rewatch in the near future.

MY COMFORT DRAMA EVER!!!₊˚⊹ ᰔ
I don't know how to describe this drama, I fell in love with every detail!! I can't count how many times I have re-watched this drama, every time I feel bored I will return to this drama and my life feels more colorful✧˖°.The cinematography is very beautiful, I don't understand much about color, lighting, contrast and so on but what I know is this drama feels so perfect to watch and refreshes my eyes.
The music is also very easy-listening, I even made a special playlist for all our beloved summer OSTs on my Spotify which I listen to repeatedly every day.
STORYLINE??? I swear this drama is very similar to the reality of my life, maybe that's why I feel this drama really suits me well?? HAHAH idk but I agree that getting back together with someone from the past is not a bad thing as long as we can fix previous mistakes and not make new mistakes.
Kook Yeon-Soo, many people don't like her character because she is unstable and silent treatment but I can understand her because life having to determine priorities is very difficult to live. She looks independent and strong even though she is very weak inside, every time I see her I feel like I want to be her bestfriend :(
Choi Ung, cute and pure men but in his heart and mind he also carries many burdens. He seems to really not care about life and lazy because his parents are rich BUT behind it all he is afraid of failure because he was abandoned several times by the people he loves.
The love story of two weak characters who pretend to be strong, two characters who have emotional and mental unstable is depicted perfectly, proving that flaws put together can give strength.
The development of the characters from they hating each other, becoming couple, becoming enemy again and ending up becoming love again, is told in a very complex and quite frustrating way, but that's where the beauty of this drama is.
I always recommend this drama to everyone because the world should know that there is a drama whose story is not too complicated but is very impressive─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

Everything is messed up
I just want to say if the writer hides a story from the audience and bring out like it never happened earlier then I would say it's kinda look alike betraying with their fans. Mostly goes with this drama. In first episode it creates intense to go for the second episode. Nevertheless it revealed that there were more stories at their intermediate periods.Moreover, the relation between the lead characters are bit confusing! I find a quite lacking in the supporting characters story. And the story telling is a little bit slow.
Most of all, I am disappointed but never know other would loved it.

?Varios años después de haber formado parte de un documental en la secundaria, Choi Woong y Kook Yeon Soo, dos personas opuestas y con una relación complicada, vuelven a reencontrarse por azares del destino.
☀️Voy a empezar diciendo que la serie es muy bonita visualmente. Tiene una paleta de colores preciosa y unas tomas muy lindas, pero lo que más me gustó de este apartado es cómo se combinan los momentos del documental con los momentos más cotidianos. Me dio una vibra a Lovestruck in the City y quería destacarlo.
?En cuanto a la historia… No es la gran cosa. Es una comedia romántica más que tiene su fuerte en la química y en lo bien que se ven juntos Choi Woo Sik (Choi Woong) y Kim Da Mi (Kook Yeon Soo). Es tan fuerte la energía que manejan que yo estoy rogando porque confirmen romance en la vida real. Esto ayudó un montón a que les creyera el amor que tenían sus personajes, obvio.
?Otra cosa que quiero destacar son los personajes secundarios. Está bueno ver que no están ahí solo para interactuar con los protagonistas, sino que también tenemos escenas en las que interactúan entre ellos.
?Obviamente tiene cosas un poco cuestionables, como el mini misterio del protagonista y las razones por las que la protagonista hizo algunas cosas, pero la verdad es que esto no hizo que la disfrutara menos.
?¿Vieron que normalmente en los kdramas meten un conflicto en el último capítulo que separa a los protagonistas? Bueno, acá no faltó, pero por suerte el "conflicto" que surge es súper maduro y se resuelve de la misma manera, así que no me molestó como en otros casos *cof cof* Was it Love? *cof cof*
?Por último quiero hacer mención a la banda sonora, la cual es preciosa. Además, el tema principal de la serie está cantado por mi marido, aka Taehyung de BTS, así que me gustó aún más.
?En fin, si quieren ver una serie de romance con mucha química, buena banda sonora y un trabajo visual muy lindo: "Aquel año nuestro" es lo que están buscando.

OVERRATED and DULL!!!
This show has only big names attached to it. The series had sorta good premise but is unable to execute it.FL (Kim Dami) is playing almost the same exact role from Itaewon Class. But in Itaewon Class her character had growth and development. FL is quite toxic. She is a good actor but I didn't care enough for her as a character too root for her.
The main lead Choi Woo Shik, I just realized that he doesn't really have the charisma to play the main lead of a 16-episode show. I personally thought the chemistry was lacking. This is the first time I am watching him as a lead in a TV show and I thought of his performance as lack-luster. (I'm sorry if offended his fans, this is just my personal opinion)
The story had little potential but they fail to make it interesting. None of the second leads catch me interest, they were rather dull. The story does not pick up its pace and fails to include interesting plot twists.
I personally wouldn't recommend anyone to watch this show. Some shows have interesting characters but not great story and some shows have great story but dull characters. This show doesn't have strong storyline or any interesting characters.
My suggestion to the viewers would be "don't waste your time on this". But you are free to judge it for yourself.
