A "Healing" Show
Although many people depict this show as a "healing" show, I feel like it's much more than that. It didn't feel particularly healing to me. It was a show that definitely had healing aspects, however, the storylines felt a little rushed, and not fully thought out, so the ultimate resolution of healing through whatever conflict there was didn't feel complete.Whilst the female lead is a main part of the story, her main purpose has more to do with the side storylines than her own. Which, turns out well since the side plots were really interesting, but it might've been nicer to get more details on her story and have good closure. Her ex-boyfriend isn't a MAIN part of her problems at the beginning, but his small contribution felt kind of cast out. He was mentioned once after the fact, but it would've been nice if she had been a little bit more affected long term, considering it had been a six year relationship. A little detail like that could've made the story super interesting, and would've been an amazing incorporation of her beginning conflict. Her brother as well, could've turned out to be a MAJOR plot point in her own story, however, the fight she has with him has little effect on it. It would have made her relationship with Bom and her family a lot deeper if it had been carried out further.
The male lead's storyline was probably one of the best carried out. It feels like out of everybody, his story had more closure and was well developed. His "healing" portion was well enough, even if it would've been nicer to see more of his interaction with his dad in the end. The whole "not talking to strangers thing" was a nice detail if a little useless, since it's not really ever seen again after the first episode. It would've been great if he had taken a little longer to warm up to the female lead.
Bom's story was one of the main ones. It felt more developed than the female lead's. It's also amazingly written in my opinion. However, this main storyline had little healing, or at least, healing that felt rushed, and unrealistic. Her story deals with the most trauma, so her healing should have been slower and better thought out than it was. It feels as though one second she's falling apart and the next she's mostly fine. I would've really liked if it had been gradual, and if the experiences she went through left more of an impact on her and everybody involved. It felt like a low-consequence ending for the amount of things she goes through.
This show is also not a romance-centered plot. Although the romance very much exists, it's never the main focus, as it's more supposedly about healing than the actual aspects of romantic love. However, love is a huge theme in the show. Not just romantic, but familial and platonic love. A lot of bonds are made with all of the characters, and in the end you feel like they've all fallen in love with something. Whether it be someone romantically, or a bond of new chosen family, or a feeling of happiness, love plays a role in everyone's ending. However, approaching the show with expectations of a major romance storyline will probably disappoint, since it doesn't have a particularly satisfying ending in that way.
There was also aspects of a murder mystery, which although interesting, was also not a huge genre throughout. It was solved fairly quickly although in the last few episodes, since it only surfaces at the very end. It was unexpected, but also felt like it ended too quickly without much to go on. It was exciting to have some of the genre show up, but it wasn't anything major.
Overall, it was a pretty emotional show and although I felt the end was a little abrupt, I definitely felt like the show was worth my time. Although I approached it with different expectations, it was a pleasant watch, and I would probably choose to watch this show again in the future.

Summer Strike: Felicidade é o estado de ser suficiente.
"Pensei no que é a felicidade. Procurei no dicionário: felicidade é um estado de satisfação, realização e alegria na vida. Achei a definição muito longa, então resolvi encurtar: felicidade, o estado de ser suficiente". – Yeo-reumTudo neste dorama é palpável, desde o primeiro episódio até o último. Seja a dor, as alegrias e as frustrações. Consegui senti tudo isso juntamente aos personagens, e me identifiquei muito com a Yeo-reum e também sou "meio" Dae-bum.
Os protagonistas exalam uma química incrível através da troca de olhares, pelos diálogos e os detalhes que permeiam na relação deles. Sobre os secundários, preciso falar que esse personagem é o papel da vida da EunSoo. Eu já tinha visto ela arrasar como Cheongah (Twinkling Watermelon), mas a Kim Bom me tocou do início ao fim. Ela com o Hae Jun sendo um casal de adolescentes com uma troca impecável.
Os demais personagens e até o plot foram suficientes pra fazer de um dorama "simples", uma obra prima e capaz de ser facilmente apreciada. É sempre sobre a simplicidade da vida e as pessoas ao nosso redor, sobre os detalhes escondidos no dia a dia, no final é sempre sobre viver a vida. Summer Strike apresenta, com maestria, que independente dos tropeços, das ciladas do destino, dos finais de ciclos e até do luto, somos capazes de recomeçar porque tudo que nos resta é viver a nossa vida. Mesmo que o processo seja lento.

The drama is slow, I believe it is good to watch if you like calm dramas or if you have just watched something very heavy.
However, he talks about important subjects such as murd*r, mental illness (although not as explored, I wish it had been), abuse at work, harassment, school violence and trauma. Even though it was calm, this part was well explored.
The second couple, the teenagers, had more development in their relationship than the main couple, which saddened me because the scene between the two would have been really beautiful. I hope they are recruited for another drama together, this time exploring the ''romantic comedy'' part of the actors.
Anyway, it's a good drama. I recommend.

I finished watching this drama a few months ago so my review on it might be a little patchy but in all honesty it was a decent drama to watch and I liked the overall atmosphere of it. At one point though, the main characters yoreum's illogical decisions and judgment in regards to the little girls incident where she got stabbed frustrated me so much. The death and everything felt forced and not needed. The romance was cute but definitely not the focus of the drama at all. Siwans acting was on point as always... Cet avis était-il utile?
Un drama refrescante
Me ha sorprendido lo que me ha enganchado este drama que aunque tenga pocos capítulos y de poca duración, han sido los suficientes para que me gustara. Me encantó ese cliché de familia encontrada, el desarrollo de personajes y lo natural que se iba viendo. También debo mencionar que supieron reflejar muy bien el estrés y ese ahogo de las grandes ciudades para luego mostrarnos las escenas en ese pequeño pueblo o ciudad.Mi única pega en que algunas actuaciones no las sentí tan buenas y tampoco algunas tramas secundarias que se ven muy ambiguas.
Muy recomendable para el verano, es más, al ser un drama corto es perfecto para esta temporada. Ojalá muchos den la oputunidad a este drama tan maravilloso.

What a beautiful piece of work that just feels like a warm hug
This show is such a positive breeze of tranquillity and calmness that is reflected in the setting, story and acting. First things first, the story is well written, keeps you hooked and engaged and does not get boring or stretched out at any point. So while some people feel like there could've been more, I feel it is the perfect length and I'm happy that it is not stretched to include unnecessarily old and boring tropes. They have nicely depicted the calmness of a rather rural setting, the kind of bonds you find there which are rather difficult to find in your average city life and I have loved the entire concept of a rather simple living and enjoying your life, the harsh reality our female lead faces after facing certain setbacks in life. I also quite enjoyed the storyline with the boss and the brother, for once I did not see the female lead being stepped upon left right and centre by all the possible characters. She stood her ground. Hence, the story has been well written in these aspects. I also quite enjoyed how the whole thriller aspect of it was not overdone and was easily hashed out. Sometimes, shows get so entangled in it that you fall short on everything else in the show, in this case, the simplicity of life in general. So, the balance between the genres was perfect, for me.Secondly, I quite enjoyed the acting of all the people involved. There was no one I found overbearing or expressionless. I've thoroughly enjoyed the journey of these 12 episodes with these brilliant actors who have wonderfully portrayed these characters, some of whom, I've grown to absolutely love. I also quite like the character development of some of the people like Kim Bom and Ji Young. These were slightly different characters, very well written and nicely portrayed. Though, special mention to a.mond and Kim Yo Han for their stellar acting, I've become a fan!
Overall, I'm quite happy with the show and I've already watched it twice without skipping. I like such shows that provide me a respite from the otherwise overdone and usual tropes and hence this is a very peaceful watch for me. I wish more people find solace in this show and come across this quite underrated gem of work. A must-watch as per me!

Estaremos nas trincheiras por Summer Strike
Bem, terminei summer strike, fiquei enrolando um tempo pra terminar um episódio, pois não estava pronta, entretanto toda via, encarei de frente e fui assistir o último episódio, confesso que eu já estava suspeitando do velho da imobiliária o filho dele nem passou pela mente, mas o velho eu senti que ele tava escondendo algo, enfim... Muito obrigado yuri por me fazer assistir esse dorama, tive o prazer de experimentar todas emoções da raiva a tristeza em questão de segundos, summer strike foi tão bem desenvolvido no meu ponto de vista, até mesmo os dois protagonista numa forma sútil de se construir uma relação sem forçar enredo encima dos dois, o foco não foi o romance e isso é muito bom, porque já vi melodrama focando nisso disvirtuando do real motivo, sei la eu to me sentindo muito feliz? eu chorei horrores e quando disse que me identifiquei com ambos foi pra valer, digo com tranquilidade de todos os dramas que ja vi esse com certeza ficou no meu top 1.Eu amei sentir essas emoções do início ao fim e agora estou triste porque simplesmente acabou, com muitos ensinamentos e sobre os valores que nós como seres humanos deveríamos praticar. Enfim...
to muito triste porque acabou, porém feliz por ter essa experiência muito incrível 💖

충분하다 - It's good enough ;)
Constantly on the edge of being something memorable, not really succedingy, but always a pleasure to watch. No unnecessary angst, but felt like parts of the story were forcibly left out.A bit too many exceptional circumstances within the story, and a bit careless about the editing. FL is unrealistically beautiful for the part but the acting feels very natural. ML seems underutilized as an actor. The other characters are there, not the most loveable but not caricatural either. OST is surprisingly nice, not as in your face as other dramas, but still memorable.
Re-watch value is also ok, I believe.

"Minha vida é suficiente"
No começo, eu tinha uma ideia muito diferente do drama, achei que ia ser uma coisa "buscar propósito, relaxar" e no começo realmente mostrou ser isso, ele é bem lento, então talvez muitas pessoas podem não ter gostado disso mas eu senti um conforto na maneira que foi contando a história, esse lento não foi enrolação, foi como eu tinha imaginado que o drama ia se desenvolver. Mas daí começou um suspense e sinceramente porque sempre fazem isso com os dramas? Não tem necessidade sério.Vamos lá:
O primeiro ponto seria a questão da irmã dele, em todo o drama não dava a entender que o pai não tinha matado dela, mostra pra gente que provavelmente era o pai sim, mas com o geun ho surge a hipótese de "quem será que matou ela?" Mas juro que eu sempre sou a desconfiada mas não esperava esse plot todo, depois que se perguntam "quem mais sabia que ele pichava?" Aí me toquei que era o policial... Mas aí já foi drama demais pra mim ...
O segundo ponto seria a Bom, a bixinha sofreu viu? Mesmo que ela tenha encontrado ali a felicidade, mas eu não acho que a avó dela merecia morrer desse jeito, ela era tão adorada, uma querida e outra o amigo dela que pra mim foi muito jogado no meio do drama, sem eira e nem beira, não consegui nem me conectar com o personagem direito na história e o jae hun, um fofo o romance deles mas que ficou morno por causa de tanta confusão e do nada ele voltou? Achei confuso, gostei, mas ficou jogado pra mim. E ainda tem pai, pra onde ele foi dessa vez e de novo? Não fala também, além dos bullying e todo resto também.
Na verdade esse último episódio ficou tudo muito jogado na verdade...
A conversa do dae bum com o pai, nem mostra pra gente, o que eu achei mais triste foi o fato de ele achar que fosse o pai por tantos anos, não tinha nem como resgatar alguma relação, além de a confusa dele com o estudo e aquele professor nojento aproveitador, não dá muitas informações pra gente.
A Jin yeong (acho que é assim o nome dela) mostra muito do laço dela com o saeng e o filho mas ela tá sempre querendo ir pra Seul, achei que o final ia ter um desfecho dos dois pelo menos.
Enfim, tudo que eu falei foram algumas das pontas soltas que eu achei que ficou no drama e que me incomodaram.
Acho que a conexão do Dae bum e da Yeo reum se dá porque os dois estão fugindo de algo e mesmo que não seja perceptível eles criam um laço, gostei de ver o crescimento dos dois, lendo e agradável de assistir mas eu queria mais sabe? Mas também ainda bem que não colocaram seila um beijo do nada no final que ia ser jogado também. Mas o que mais achei legal é o fato de eles terem encontrado o lugar deles em Angok, não só isso como a Yeo reum, fiquei feliz por ela, ter pessoas que se importam e se preocupam com ela, minha parte favorita no drama todo foi a relação dela com a Bom, fiquei feliz como o relacionamento delas cresceu. E uma coisa interessante que ela falou, na vida a gente tá sempre procurando ser feliz, mas a gente não olha pra quando é suficiente, as vezes a gente só precisa do que é suficiente e que nos faz bem. Além de ficar procurando mais e mais que enchem os olhos mas não o coração. Tem momentos que a vida ela precisa ser assim suficiente e boa, e a lição do drama é essa, a simplicidade é o suficiente também pra viver bem.

Healing
This is exactly the kind of K-Drama I was needing! It 100% gives meaning to "healing drama" genre.My heart was full and touched by the end of it. I cried so much, but I also smiled a lot throughout it. I was very empathetic to the characters' struggles. The female lead put into words so many feelings/thoughts I have. Yet, at the end, she left me thinking.
We might feel like we're not enough or achieving some great dream and we must hustle to make a life, but... Are we really living for ourselves in the process or simply doing it due to expectations of others? There's a scene at the end that was very sobering where the female lead lists simple things in life we might take for granted, such as drinking water, hanging fresh laundry, etc... and she says that "it's enough." We might think we'll never truly be happy, but... happiness is technically contentment. In such moments when you realize you have "enough," you're content. This scene will stick with me long beyond finishing the drama.
All the characters/actors are great. You can't help but connect with them. I loved Siwan in "Run On," but I think I love him even more in this! I also appreciated how he and the female lead have such great chemistry and form such a wholesome relationship. Despite little to no skinship (there's not even a kiss), you never question their feelings for each other. It was nice to see how a couple showcases love without sex.
My only complaint is honestly how heavy it got near the end with the murder mystery. Sometimes, I'd like to watch a slice-of-life free of such tragic content, but this storyline was wrapped up much better than other dramas I've seen lately (*cough* Crash Course in Romance *cough*), and ultimately it delivered a powerful message of how people can overcome tragedies and horrific circumstances and still choose to live life and even find happiness.

I love platonic relationships !!
This was in my watchlist way before it was released, was planning to watch after it got over but hesitated after that thinking there are no romantic scenes that I would like ...I was watching unlocked and Im si wan was looking very scary to me since then so i planned to start this drama to make his dandy gentle handsome boy image back to me ...
I don't like the concept of relationship irl but it seems cute in dramas ... But this is the only drama that made me feel single ... Im Si Wan's character is so amazing ... So his the FL but the ML made me want him 😭 ... I wish such men actually existed ... Him never getting anger ... Mature and understanding.. trying to heal ... Even the FL taught us a lot about life.
Whenever u r feeling depressed or overwhelmed, do watch this drama ... It make u feel relieved..
It taught us to just let thing be and let things go even though it's difficult irl but I'm sure at some point these lessons could help someone at some point in life ..
This is a short drama so u can complete it in 1 day if u r free ... Or 3 days max ...
I highly recommend it to everyone.
Everyone should watch such dramas at least once in their life.
I can't express in words how much I loved this story ... I hate side characters cuz i get confused and overwhelmed but this story was well paced and set... I loved everything about it...
You will love it too especially if when u r feeling down or frustrated about something... This drama and console u in so many different ways. 💜

This series is well-balanced mix of life and romance.
I find this series very comforting. This is a fresh take on living your own life and finding genuine happiness.The writer seems to include the mystery case to have a wider audience, but in my opinion, this isn't needed in the story. Many viewers will still watch this series because of great portrayal of the characters. The story will still be good even if it only focused on life and romance. Being simple is also extraordinary nowadays.
The music isn't praise-worthy but not a bad one too. I easily recognize music if it deepens the emotions it portrays to or if it doesn't match the scenes at all.
"Know what you truly like. If being extravagant and living in a big city is what you like, then go for it. If living a simple life is what you like, then so be it. You can't find your happiness if you don't know yourself." ------ this is what I think of after watching this series.
I always check my drama list before finalizing the rating. The suggested rating is 7.5/10 but this series is a little above my dramas that I rated 7.5 so I will give this an 8/10.
