You Are My Spring

I've watched 7 episodes of this so I don't think it's going to get any better. I really enjoyed the serious parts of the show, the tragic childhoods of the three main characters, the awkward attempts of two damaged people to start a romance and the ongoing murder mystery. I didn't like the comedic scenes because they were over the top to the point of farce and there were far too many of them. Kdrama is famous for mixing comedy and drama together, but it only works when done with a careful touch. The writing and directing fails to deliver that in this case. It gives the impression of a show that doesn't know what it wants to be. The acting is excellent and the leads are appealing and sympathetic. Worth watching, but a little disappointing.

I personally enjoyed it a lot so far. Excellent cinematography. Looking forward to the upcoming episodes.

I'm usually pretty critical about shows but idk what everyone who neg reviewed this show is on about. The murder plot wasn't abandoned and there was nothing awkward about the funny scenes or love scenes. I found them pretty sincere. The only bad part of the show would be Eun-ha the main female character's bff. She was dumb and annoying but other then that the side characters were interesting and necessary to not make the plot line monotonous. Don't listen to the bad reviews they didn't seem to be watching the same show.

I have two major problems with this drama

1: What should have been the main plot ( the murder mystery) was turned into subplot. In some episodes there wasn't even more than a scene or two about it.

2: What in the world did the do to Kim Dong Wook? I mean his dressing, his hair style, everything was so awful. They gave him such an unappealing outlook. One scene when he looked rather good and neat, he was forced to go back to his idiotic buttoned to the top shirt and stupid hairstyle.

I agree with another reviewer about the murder mystery disappearing into a rom com. The first two episodes were amazing and this show would have been so amazing if they had stayed on that trajectory. Instead of keeping with the thriller vibe they turned it into a slow rom com. I can't stand it when dramas do this, a lot of dramas start with an amazing first 1 or 2 episodes like they're just trying to hook you, and then everything changes to something totally different. It's to the point that I can sometimes predict if the show is going to start slow down, and I usually prefer dramas that start slow and build up over time instead. This drama was one of the worst I've seen as far as that's concerned, the first 2 episodes are nothing like the rest of the show. Itaewon Class is another one off the top of my head that did this.

I wish 2ML had come back to cause trouble, unknown to everyone if he was the twin or not, while also seducing FL in the meantime and maybe ML tries to keep her from him. Kinda like how it was going down in the first few episodes, but instead they ended it abruptly and then the rom com started and we got to see the two going to the beach, sitting and talking, etc...nothing like the thriller we were given a taste of.

It does have good things about it. The cinematography for one is simply amazing here and worth the praise. It's too bad they totally lost me with the plot.
