Summer Strike

This show is so adorable and heartwarming. It starts off with a somewhat cliche plot of a girl from a big city moving into a small town, but it does so very beautifully and detailed so that it didn't feel like anything else I've seen with that plot.

The romance isn't the only important relationship. The main character forms many wholesome relationships with many of the people in the town.

The characters are so authentic and I love how each one develops. Some are more evolutionary characters while others are dynamic or we just come to learn a different side of them.

This is my new comfort k-drama. It's so sweet and I learned so many life lessons. I want to see more of the characters and I honestly think that there was plenty of substance to carry on the show a bit longer. I'm a sucker for short shows, so I usually never say that, but I wish we got a little bit more.

This was the first Korean series I've ever watched (I watched it with English subs). I got into it because Netflix posted a collage of a scene in the first ep when Yeo Reum is tired of her pointless life that is all about work. It really caught my attention. After the first episode, this series was totally not what I anticipated. It was much better. It felt like a summer breeze - the scenery, the music, the characters, the jokes, just Angok itself and the (seemingly) simple, quiet lives of people living there. I wouldn't say the series was perfect, actually I think the crime parts were not very well executed, but I do understand that the plot needed something like that at that point. However, all in all this was a lovely experience. 12 episodes was just enough, but I'm sad it's over.

Based on webtoon called 'I don't feel like doing anything', is a slice-of-life, healing drama.

It tells a very precious story about human emotions, friendship, loyalty, love and how important it is to create a family with people that you care about and that cares for you.

It also gives valuable life lessons & uplift your mood.

This drama's leads are unlike other leads, they are shy, introverts. Their romance is slow burn unlike other kdrama couples, they don't do lovey-dovey things, just enjoy each other's company.

Unlike other kdrama heroines, here female lead decided to live minimalist life, with minimal things moved to coastal town & decided to do nothing for a year, to heal her soul. I envy her life.

The people who appears annoying in the beginning becomes likeable as drama progress.

2nd teen couple, Jae-hun & Bom add more colors to story. I liked how their character developed, they are super cute together. I also like Sung-min's character. Granny & dog are another cute things in the drama.

To add some drama, there is a murder mystery also.

The thought of staying in country side, doing simple things and staying happy is though provoking.

Happiness lies in simple things.

Life is simple, we humans make it complicated. We are all running in rat race and at one point we all chase peace and calmness. Everything else seems irrelevant....this is exactly what SUMMER STRIKE is all about.

I found the series, characters extremely calm, a simple story which is so relatable and those cute kids, a pet dog makes it more adorable. The main Lead was a protagonist in Misaeng, another not to miss series. I was looking for his other dramas and then finally got to watch this one.

Definitely a worthy watching....12 episodes series available in Netflix. No reason to miss on this one.

An exploited Seoul office worker played by Seolhyun faces a crisis when her boyfriend breaks up with her and her mother dies in a tragic accident. She decides to give up Seoul life and travel, on her travels she comes to a small coastal village with an underused library where she decides to stay and do nothing for a year. The librarian is played by Im Si-wan who is a maths genius but hides away from the world due to a tragic family incident. Both the main leads are shy introverted characters so the romance side is very slow burning but amusing to watch. There are great characters particularly Bom, who is played by Shin Eun soo and some interesting side stories which look at the things in life which money cannot buy. It is based on a webtoon and is beautiful story which is gently told.
