One Spring Night (2019)

First of all, i love han ji min and jung hae in. I think they perfectly fit well as a couple. If only for the acting, i have rated it 10 but the storyline was a bit too cliche already. Although the story is quite okay but not very good. In my opinion, as a reviewer, they could've done a bit more twist to it. Plus the middle part of the episodes became too draggy. But as expected, jung hae in can really make you fall in love by just looking in his eyes. You can feel the emotions with his body and facial expressions. I just wish that there were more to it in the story. Neverthless, the drama is still okay to watch one time. But nothing new for me.

Very slow story

I haven't watched Something in the Rain yet and decided to give OSN a go. It's different to other kdramas as the pace of the story is extremely slow and some scenes are added without being necessary. There are moments of daily live - like showing them doing many things that we don't really need to watch/aren't interesting - there are lots and lots of dialogues and not many action-focused elements. This drama is therefore focused on small details and conversation and directed to an audience who appreciates that and won't get bored by the lack of actual things happening.

I usually never skip any scenes but here I was jumping a lot because I didn't care to hear the same, repetivive dialogue over and over. Lots of the side characters were simply uninteresting to me and I didn't care about them.
The female lead was very difficult to like. In the beginning I struggled to understand her motives, her reasonings and her decisions. She was very harsh and had a mean and somewhat bullying attitude at times, but then she kept being indecisive and not acting as tough as she pretended to be. It honestly didn't make much sense and I couldn't relate to her at all. In the middle of the story she became more likeable and I started to connect more with her, then later on she started to act up again. She seemed very much the center of attention, as if the world revolved around her - her friends/colleagues, her sisters, her mother, everyone seemed to run after her and pay so much attention to her personal dramas (even though her big sister had much more pressing issues tbh). It was that typical "lead character" thing - but I prefer kdramas where even the side characters have their own lives and don't just exist to support the male leads.
The same goes for the male lead - his friends, his colleagues and his parents all focused their whole attention and support on him. It seemed like neither of them had their own lives. That was very lazy from the writer.

The beginning was dragged for such a long time while the ending left many things in an unsatisfying way....I definitely feel like the writing was very lacking and I don't know if I will watch Something in the Rain, even though it seems to be very popular/well known.

Cansativo

Para começar que trilha sonora chata pra caramba, fica repetindo toda hora cansativo e enjoativo de escutar isso está me dando nos nervos, nem mil palavras descreveriam quanto é desagradável escutar a Ost. Eu já estava cansada de assistir isso no segundo episódio e isso é um péssimo sinal mais como sou teimosa continuei , tudo é tão arrastado chato a história dos protagonistas é lenta demais para meu gosto, fica num loop infinito e nunca sai do lugar eu já estava no episódio 18 e nada cada episódio é a cópia do anterior nada muda ou progride é muito chato isso. O romance não te prende não consigo ver química nem sentido no amor dos protagonistas.

Nem tudo é ruim aqui pelo menos temos boas atuações e a história é boa só foi mau executada, gosto da forma que todas as histórias abordadas são realistas , poderia ser a vida de alguém que você conhece ou até mesmo a sua, é bem pé no chão e adulto, mais só esse acerto não segura a decepção que é de ver esse drama. Não me julguem mal não ligo do romance ser arrastado porem tem que ser bem feito , tem que te fazer ter vontade de assistir, um exemplo de um drama lento que deu super certo e eu amo é ‘When The Weather is Fine’, .

Em fim acho que você pode encontrar dramas melhorares para ver.

i was hesitant to watch this drama after reading some of the reviews, but if you're in the same boat as i was, i would recommend watching it. the first few episodes were a little slow for my liking, but as the drama went on, i fell in love with many of the characters. i rooted for the main couple, i wanted to kill the ex and the fathers, i loved the sisters and overall rooted for a happy ending to all the storylines. i guess that's all you can want from a drama... interest in a resolution. the acting was also pretty good, with a few blips (the main actor wasn't so amazing at showing sadness and the fake cries were quite cringe-inducing). i also LOVED the inclusion of the son... i find this lacking in many other dramas including single parents. it's usually overshadowed by the romance, but it was pretty well incorporated in this one.

now onto the negatives. i can't talk about this drama without mentioning its never-ending looped soundtrack. seriously. the same few songs play over and over and over again - to the point of them losing all meaning when used over a dramatic scene to convey meaning. the songs themselves aren't bad... but you may just want to bang your head against a wall after hearing "No Direction" for the 5 millionth time. moreover, the constant repetition of the scenes with the ex and the main characters' fathers sitting down and plotting ways for them to be married despite her having already broken up with him and moved on with someone else is tiring to say the least. i think they could've come up with a more interesting conflict to cover the latter half of the drama. it was just ridiculous after a certain point, as you knew it was never going to work and was just a waste of screen time.

despite my little rant, i would still say this drama is well-worth the watch. perhaps not the best one out there, but still filled with many sweet and heart warming moments that i would like to think outweigh the bad.

LOVED IT!

It hasn't been too long that I started to watch K-dramas. I am sure glad that I discovered how entertaining they are. Every time I watch a new one I discover another great actor and do binge watching on his/her dramas/movies. I am now binge watching Jung Hae In dramas and I just adore him. Besides his great looks, his gorgeous smile I really love the portrayal of the characters in the dramas I have watched so far. I just completed One Spring Night and I really enjoyed it. Thank you for your hard work in doing such a great job on entertaining us. Keep up the great job and smiling for your fans. This new fan will be following your future work.

Deep, Intense and Heartfelt

I postponed watching this series several times because I just didn’t know what to expect however I am really glad that I watched it. It was so sweet and heartfelt. I must admit that the writers did an amazing job revealing so much depth and character growth in those 32 episodes. If you watch it on Netflix it’s 16 episodes because they show a full hour instead of a 35 minutes. I just feel that the series was a welcomed refresher. It really displayed how relationships grow and stem from the smallest of things but it also reveals how some people stay in relationships not because of love but because of familiarity or consistency. I love the family dynamic in this series I love the sister bond in their relationship and commitment to support and love each other. I really really enjoyed it and if I could change one thing about this series I would change the ending just a little bit. When you finish watching the series you’ll have a really warm and pleasant feeling because you know that “hey everything is great.” I enjoyed it. I also want to point out that the chemistry between the two leads was absolutely amazing, the acting was amazing, the display of love and devotion among the mother and the daughters was truly awesome. Overall it is so worth the watch.

Jung Hae In who played Yoo Ji Ho and Han Ji Min who played Lee Jung In romance chemistry is there, my problem with this romantic drama is the back n forth between these two. I'm not blaming the actor and actress but I am blaming the story writers. My other problem, the writers chose the female main lead to show tendencies of emotional abuse towards her partner in the present day which tapered towards the end to have a happy ending. Domestic Abuse is rated high in most countries presently. I know this is a story but stories project to the audience ideologies to commit abuse by copying a scene. Other than that the rest of the story was good. Thanking the cast for a job well done.

Amazing

I find this drama amazing in many levels, I have to congratulate Jung Hae In for always giving his all in these roles, because it can’t be a coincidence that every drama he stars in is at least good. This was amazing, though some may not agree I found this drama, while similar, better than Something in The Rain. Not to say that SITR was bad, but this story was so fluid and cozy. The soundtrack was amazing, the camerawork: superb.

I would honestly sit here for hours just talking about this drama, but I’ll keep it short and sweet:

If you’re looking for something to binge-watch, that will make you feel mega connected to the characters and overall vibe, this is it. The song will be stuck in your head for months.

I find this drama very well written, I find little to no plotholes or continuity problems (from what I remeber) and every once in a while I come back feeling like rewatching it again, it’s so satisfying!

I went into this drama thinking it was “what Something In the Rain could’ve been,” and even though a lot of plot things are different, I agree and can’t help but compare the two as I watched, considering how similar the vibe and style are.

I was nervous to start the second half, fearful of it going downhill the way SITR did. But that never happened. I felt like the entire drama was paced well, and I loved the mellow atmosphere. There are some moments I felt were a bit repetitive — after all, how many times does a girl have to say "let's break up"? — but ultimately the slice-of-life feeling was calming.

The best of this drama for me was undoubtedly the sismance. It’s honestly rarer than it should be to see sismance in kdrama, and this one did it beautifully, with the way Jeong-in, Seo-in, and Jae-in all supported each other through everything. The mother was also great in this one, as was Ji-ho’s parents.

Because there was a support system around both of our characters, the drama wasn’t nearly as frustrating to watch, even if we knew there were social stigmas and other disapproving family members and annoying exes that would stand in the way of our main couple.

As a huge fan of friends-to-lovers, I bought into SITR utterly and completely because of how natural they were around each other right off the bat. And because of that reason, it took me a while to love Ji-ho and Jeong-in, who were just so awkward for the first half. As the show went on, they definitely started feeling more natural and I grew to love them. I still feel like the chemistry in SITR’s first half was more heart-fluttering, but OSN did an amazing job of portraying head vs. heart and highlighting the insecurities in a relationship that still exist even if you’re a 100% sure you want to be with someone. Jung Hae-in is amazing at acting "taken aback + in love" and it's adorable every single time.

Jeong-in's character development was subtle, but it was there, and I love the type of female lead that's strong, not in the "can do taekwondo" sense, but in the ability to sure in her convictions and decisions.

Despite that, I think my favorite part of this entire drama was the sub-plot with Seo-in trying to divorce her domestic abuser. It gave me all my crying moments, and doubled down on the sismance moments which gave me all the feels.

I do wish Jae-in got a stronger sub-plot too — personality-wise, she was my favorite out of the three. and it felt like she came back to Korea, said she would find something to do, and just never really did, even though as a sister character she did everything the show called for.

I know a lot of people complained about repetitive OST in SITR and OSN, but I honestly did not have any issue with the songs, which I loved. They added to the mellow mood of the entire drama.

Also: Eun-woo is the most adorable bean ever.

This is obviously very good, so the 8.5 rating is definitely justified, having seen the other reviews here all the good points were already mentioned, so I'll just focus on what I did not like.

The OST is just as repetitive as in Pretty Noona, yes it's very good, but there are only like 5 songs & there are episodes where the "seasons change" song plays more than 4 times.
Pretty Noona has become terrible after the midpoint, here the start is not quite as explosive, but still very good and the show never becomes terrible, but there is a lot of forced drama in the second half that I did not like. Especially episodes 14-15(28-30 in the stupid numbering system) were quite eyebrow raising at times. Having a second male lead like this is fine for maybe 2-3 episodes, but for 16 it's just ridiculous, at least this was handled better in Pretty Noona. People talk about how real this show feels, but this character is completely immersion breaking & the same is also true for how Jeong-in interacts with him.
From a Korean viewer's standpoint this show is probably quite progressive, but frankly I don't like it when the dark side of Confucianism is showcased this much. (parents forcing their will upon their grownup kids , the barbaric Korean divorce law and Korean social stigmas) Also there were some acting hiccups here and there, overall the acting performances were incredibly good for the most part, but I felt that nearing the end the actors have ng-ed scenes at times, but the director just let it go for ehm reasons, but I realize that this could be considered nitpicking. The flow of the story & character progression have some inconsistencies , I sense that there were some script rewrites & character micro adjustments, I feel that I would not have noticed much, have I not been watching all episodes over the course of 3 days.


edit: I was bored and rewatched the show.
I was impressed by the early episodes a lot more than the first time around. They way how fate and extreme attraction is brought to life in this show is just beautiful and there were just so many great conversations & touching scenes all the way to the end.

Bro's before hos

Just like her parents, I'm not in favor of her relationship with jiho. Well, first thing, there wasn't any proper back story to actually hate gi seok. If she wasn't happy with him in a long time then why even drag it for that long. She's just a bitch plain and simple. Also with jiho, where's the bro code dude?

I like to think that the story was to address some hard situation women are facing in Korea. But that's not how it's supposed to be. Like I can understand how the older sister is in a bad marriage and the stigma of divorce in a very conservative society. But jeong in and ji ho's relationship is just plain cheating. You cant possibly make an excuse from that.
