At A Distance Spring is Green is a drama that depicts the hardships that young adults face as they transition from teenagers to full-fledged adults in the real world. We follow our main characters Yeo Jun and Nam Soo Hyun, two people who have very contrasting personalities and lifestyles, yet we find out that they're actually pretty similar as they carry their respective struggles and burdens. They learn to heal through each other and we watch as they help each other to grow as individuals. Now AADSIG doesn't have the most intricate plot whatsoever, but what makes this drama so compelling is the characters, their journey towards growth, and their relationships between one another, whether it's a brotherly bond, friendship or romance. Another thing that is note-worthy, in my opinion, is that even though the story had the overall impression of being lighthearted, they still successfully touched upon heavy subjects such as child abuse, child neglect, poverty, bullying, and anxiety, all while covering the question regarding the true nature of youth.

I do think that there are a few cons to this drama, a HUGE huge one being the writing direction they decided to take for Soo Hyun and Young Ran's relationship (yeah, call me bitter because I hella am. we were ROBBED), and the lack of depth for some of the characters. But overall, I love this drama. I honestly didn't expect to like it as much as I do when I first tried watching it, but this drama was definitely a pleasant surprise for me. Being a young adult myself, I found a lot of aspects very relatable, so that definitely added up to its overall charms. The cast did a wonderful job as well, considering how most of them are rookies. It is a drama that I would highly recommend and one that I can see myself rewatching, though I'm not usually the type to.

In the past month and a half, I've grown very attached to its characters, so saying goodbye is quite hard. Alas, it's been wonderful to watch Jun and Soo Hyun's journey. I will definitely miss this drama.
