This is such an heartwarming drama that's perfect when you want something light and want to feel better. This drama doesn't have a big plot. On the contrary, there are some episodes where it doesn't seem there is a point. But I don't consider that a fault (although I understand that those who love plot twists will find this boring).
The main focus of "A Poem a Day" is reality and the routines of various people of different ages who work as physiotherapists. The story followed what they went through (even though it focused on some characters more than others) and the hardships or joys of their lives, all of that accompanied by beautiful poetry. I think the purpose of the story wasn't to engage the viewer and make him/her wait for the plot twist, but push the viewer to reflect on life and to be comforted by the words of the poems. Like I said, the drama followed the routine of these people, and it showed that sometimes life gets better while other times it's not the right moment yet and we have to keep holding on to get what we want. Of course there were also funny moments (I laughed a lot watching this drama) as well.
The main storyline mainly revolved around the female protagonist Woo Bo Young. She was very likeable, at times naive, but very enjoyable and realistic as a character. I think the point here was to see her grow up, especially in the love department. She easily likes people, so this drama as a "sort of" love triangle that was shown to make us see how Bo Young grows from immature love (represented by the immature Min Ho) to mature love, represented by Doctor Ye. But Boo Young also grows by doing her job, and gains more experience. So "A Poem a Day" is most of all Bo Young's journey. After all, she is the one who wanted to become a poet.
Regarding the cast, I had watched Lee Yoo Bi in other dramas and I knew she was good. This drama made me discover Lee Joon Hyuk (who I think should be the male lead somewhere, sooner or later). I really liked their pairing on the drama because they had chemistry. I also liked the rest of the cast because you can tell they all got along while filming, making me believe that they were a tight group of friends IRL.
I can just repeat that this drama may not be anyone's cup of tea. But if you're in the mood for light, cute, no strings attached, emotional... then you should watch this. If you want a drama that'll play mind games with you... then this is not good for you.
