You Are my Spring

Good cast; Good script; Beautifully portrayed scenes;

You watch the first fifteen minutes, and you can't give up watching the rest of it no matter what.

With its forgivable flaws, this drama mesmerizes you like an intriguing novel.

And the storytellers play with your mind, having heavenly voices and remarkable narrative skills.

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.

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.

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.

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.
