Forecasting Love and Weather managed to receive a decent amount of hate since it came out earlier this year. I personally was very excited for its release because it is starring one of my favourite K-Drama actresses - Park Min Young - whose work, never disappoints.

Its start was quite slow, the first few episodes dragged out a little and the writer really liked to experiment with messing up the timeline or omitting certain details from viewers which completely change the perspective of a scene at the start and throughout vs the end. This is also a technique the writer kept close to heart throughout the drama.

The relationship between the FL and ML developed very quickly and in my opinion at a very bad time; they both had just broken up with their partners and their lives were a depressed mess where a new relationship didn't make sense, yet they fell in love and wanted to be together.

I feel like a lot of people are needlessly comparing this drama to A Business Proposal which came out at the same time as Forecasting. However, comparing the two is a big mistake. A Business Proposal is a quirky, fun rom-com meanwhile Forecasting Love and Weather is about relationships and life.

The drama analyses three different types of relationships:
- Romantic
- Family
- And professional.

It toys around with hard-hitting themes like parents manipulating their children or being way too nosy and pressuring their children into marriage, the line you draw between colleagues and lovers and where you stand with your exes.

I was gassed to see a female lead, finally, who was in a superior position at work to the male lead - she was his boss. And this new perspective gave office romance dramas a new theme to work with.

The couple's relationship comparison to the weather also spoke volumes to the drama's central theme. I like how the relationship between the ML and FL wasn't pink and colourful all the time, but instead, blue and grey because relationships are never like A Business Proposal or Her Private Life, they require work and understanding and most importantly communication (which was a long way coming for the main couple here).

A lot of people also discussed the FL's ad ML's relationship with their exes. Personally, I think the drama portrayed the relationship one has with their long time ex pretty well. Not everyone can just block their number and forget them - even though that would have been the healthiest way to deal with things - sometimes people from your past linger in your contacts a little longer than you hoped they would, other times, they become your friends.
