You Are My Spring

You Are My Spring started off with a bang - it was eerie, dark, interesting, and with just a splash of romance. However with each episode the romance took over that eerie creepy plot line, and they switched from suspenseful to cheesy. Don't get me wrong, I was happy with the main couple, I thought they were super cute and I loved Young Do, he was such a sweet and comforting character. As a couple they were a tad cringe though, it sometimes was a bit too much.

The show pretty much did a complete 180 about halfway through and left me feeling somewhat empty. I was expecting a thriller with a romance and the thriller part really fell through. I liked the plot twists, but they weren't executed with enough punch. This was I think a case of two genres mushed together that should have been separate shows/story lines. I really started to lose interest as the last few episodes aired, and only finished the show to finish it, not because I was engaged anymore. There were still some big questions left unanswered, which perhaps led to that empty feeling once I finished watching. There was also a lot of filler in the second half, focusing mostly on all the friends of the main couple and who they end up with and are dating. I liked the side characters but not enough to care about their love lives.

Overall this was rather disappointing. I really loved the first half of the show, I was fully engaged and really invested in the story. Somewhere along the way the show lost me. I would skip this one.

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.

Not an usual cliche drama it is.. if u want to relate with something in real life this drama is for u!! The maturity, psychology, romance everything is full package in this drama..!! Don't know why it's so Underrated . Actor actress give their best to make I feel as if it's a bunch of people's real life struggle.. so much enjoyed tht still can they over this drama ... Though felt bad abt tht dead brother..I wanted a happy ending for the brothers too..

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.

The lives of three people who met briefly in childhood intersect again in later life. The main story is between a psychiatrist who has an office in the building a hotel concierges lives at, and their relationship. Each character has a troubled past and each carries that weight in different ways. I enjoyed it and I thought the entire cast did a superb job with an interesting storyline and unlike many of the other reviewers I really enjoyed the comedic element particularly the ex-wife of the psychiatrist. If you are looking for a gritty murder mystery this is not for you, but if you are looking for a drama about healing then give it a watch.
