aaaand it's finally my all time favourite and the best
our beloved summer
bringing to us from the witch, kim dami and choi wooshik. and damn, do they look cute together.
our beloved summer is about growing up, problems of a distracted mind, and problems of am overly focused one. it describes how despite all hardships in life, sometimes all you need is someone to push you through those difficult times.
picture twenty five twenty one, but with a happier ending.
we have choi ung, the artist. kook yeon su, the strict one, and ji ung, the one sided pining lover (the horse boy from vincenzo ðŸ˜).
i. the acting. dear heavens. keep in mind, this was one of the first dramas i watched. i was completely unimpressed by ung's hairstyles and mannerisms and yeon su's coldness. ji ung seemed expressionless and i was not hooked at all. BUT THEN, like a saviour, came the salt and water scene. it was actually then that i understood - the show isn't going to be known for its grand gestures or huge confessions. it's going to be known for the little things, the deeply buried doubt and insecurities of both ung and yeon su.
ii. there's a constant shift between the past and the present, in both of which they're shooting a documentary. typically, there's no reason for such a documentary to be shot again. but once we see the nostalgia of the producer, it all makes sense. from the immature kids they were in high school to the still maturing adults they are. nothing beats yeon su saying she wants a guy who's mature and ung waving a broom from behind. yes ma'am this is the guy you ordered
iii. emotion management top tier. as someone who's lived in the constant struggle to be liked and to stay on the top, yeon su's multi layered character gave me a sense of comfort. as a distracted mind, always here and there for acceptance and finding something that makes me truly happy, i found my home in ung. there's no grand confession that makes everything happy and dandy. it made me wonder if these gestures are overrated after all.
this was such a long rant.
ive had longer reviews than this, but i think if i stretch this longer you're gonna get bored.
to all my people who got bored and left this drama halfway between - give it a chance. try to not see it as a kdrama with quirky music and funny leads but as real people, through layers of experiences and failures.
if you still don't like it, watch the wooga squads review live review of obs 🔪

OUR BELOVED SUMMER Ep. 12
she cited her source !
i genuinely don’t understand how people call our beloved summer boring just the cinematography alone is enough to make me watch it not even talking about CHOI WOOSHIK and KIM DAMI i’m having such a good time watching this show you guys don’t even know
do you ever think about how woong’s love language is acts of service and yeonsu’s is words of affirmation
yeonsu being more vulnerable oh my god… when she never let ppl see her cry and now she’s crying to her grandma
the our beloved summer webtoon is so cute and giving us more insight into what they were like in high school hehehehe
i keep thinking about how it would make so much more sense for jiung to have a crush on ung rather than yeonsu because half of jiung and yeonsu’s conversations are about ung anyway ðŸ˜
ep 14 was so short and no previews 😞😞😞 i’m scared u guys !!!! yeonsu pls open up to ung he wants the best for u
that whole episode was amazing it genuinely felt like we just saw their happily ever after im so glad they all grew as people and became the best version of themselves AHAJSOSKD SCREAMING CRYING!!!!
