I found the premise interesting and the discourse insightful. I didn't realize that such a strong stigma existed against single parents in Korea. I also enjoyed seeing that contention play out within the female lead - what to do in a situation where you will face personal backlash and also negatively impact your family. Those aspects were good, but it was very slow overall.

The second male lead was relentless to the point where it didn't make sense. The female lead was insufferable at the beginning, and despite understanding the turmoil she must've experienced, she was acting unfairly and playing with both leads' feelings. The wishy-washy attitude, which persisted throughout the drama, was underwhelming to watch. The female lead's dad constantly trying to use his daughter to advance his career was infuriating. I'm so tired of the narrative where parents' views are the end all be all (as was also the case in Something in the Rain) for women who are in their 30s (albeit it was substantially toned down in this drama). It's getting old.

I can't give this drama higher than a 7 because there isn't anything special about it. The story isn't that great: it's essentially a mirror of Something in the Rain, except instead of age being a factor along with a dad who remarried, throw in a single dad instead. One Spring Night has a repetitive OST, frequent lack of chemistry between the leads, and uninspiring storytelling during many episodes. I am glad I finished it but I am not too sure I would recommend it to anyone else unless it is for a specific reason.

I may be in the minority, but I much prefer Something in the Rain. While SitR may have been more frustrating, the passion and romance at the beginning made it exciting to watch.

TLDR: an indecisive and frequently selfish female lead who isn't afraid to hurt others' feelings (I did like her character a bit more as the story progressed but not significantly); a second male lead whose actions rarely make sense and an obsession that doesn't seem to be rooted in anything. Watch it if you want to learn more about single parents in Korea (or at the very least how they may be viewed by society and the hardships they face). Don't watch if you want an exciting drama. Although it is thought-provoking at times, I don't think that is redeeming in itself.
