After The Rain (2018)

This heartwarming 2 episode short story has more impact than some of the long dramas. It is definitely worth watching more than once.

Summary: A short and sweet drama with enough suspense and romance to make it worth watching. The set of well experienced cast members along with the good storyline created a solid drama with nothing lacking. Viewers that like the disheveled oppa version of Kim Kang Woo from the drama My Husband Oh Jak Doo will get to see a bit more of it here. 8.5/10

Cast: The cast is well seasoned with plenty of varied experiences. The male leads, actors Shin Goo as the father and Kim Kang Woo as his restless son, are perfectly paired for their respective roles so much so that one forgets they are acting out a drama. Their timing and delivery are in sync with each other. Kim Kang Woo sheds his modern Seoul smooth style and contemporary model looks to reprise the back country scruffy man similar to his role in My Husband Oh Jak Doo. They are matched against actress Lee Seol who provides a believable combination with the male leads. There are not many credits to her name. But, she definitely has the talent that will land her more lead roles

Story: The story moves very quickly being only 2 episodes. There were nothing lacking and it built up intensity to the end. Saying much more will spoil the drama. But, I was very satisfied with the ending.

Music/Sets/Costumes: These are all in line with the plot. The small family store setting could be anywhere in agricultural small town areas. They added to the story without being obtrusive.

A very cute & romantic mini series (or a 2 hour movie) of 2 ep. with Kim Kang Woo ❤❤❤.

Plot: a ML disgusted with life, survives in a restaurant with his grandfather. He recruits a mysterious FL (refugee from the North, pursued by smugglers/traffickers).

Well played, well written, realistic.
A little gem!

Short but well-paced

This drama is only two one-hour episodes, but the pacing was done really well and I didn't think there was too much or too little conflict, though it was a little predictable. I also was not a fan of the female lead, whose personality was very boring and sparse, despite having such a rich backstory.

I did like how there weren't any needless misunderstandings and miscommunications.

I also appreciated the little tidbits of humor, but I honestly don't think they were altogether necessary, and I would've preferred it if they spent a little more time with the dad, who was just wholesome and lovable.
