When My Love Blooms

The series overall is good with a very satisfying ending. It tackles a lot of current and past social issues through the romantic relationship between the two leads. The recalling scenes of the love story was actually very very interesting to explore. It was kinda the icing in the cake. It shows a different side to how relationships seem to get more complicated as we age. I would say that the series is worth the time since the ending of this series does really make it worthwhile.

Ah the drama was very sweet and heart warming, i loved it 🖤

I liked: the back and forth between our lead couple from the young to the older. Well written and filmed. Music good (although they could have turned down the melodramatic strings in the background a bit- sounded a bit old), acting very good, especially the young couple. Their chemistry was contagious. As with most Kdramas, a lot is repeated or reframed and, in this case, it slows the story down a bit. If you've seen Itaewon Class, you will possibly have some flashbacks but it's not a bad thing. Overall, worth the time. FYI, I will rate a fim/series a 5 if it is average enjoyable. No rating inflation here. 6 means above average enjoyable.

I loved, loved, loved this k-drama from start to finish! What a beautiful love story. I enjoyed it all from Episode one to Episode sixteen. It was a well acted, well directed drama. The flashbacks added to the depth of the story and explained their never ending affection/love for each other. Needless to say, I cried my eyes out throughout the series and I will do it again, because I will definitely watch it again and again. Kudos to all!

" When my love blooms " had a really sweet past story but the present one was not that great.

First of all, the retro one, when the characters were young, was almost made to perfection. From the poetic cinematography, to the nostalgic feeling, to the presentation of that era, everything was perfect. The timeline did get a bit confusing at times, but that was mainly due to the focus on the present story. Still, the chemistry was over the moon, the love story was sweet, dramatic and moving, and the whole college life along with the family drama were all interesting and nicely managed.

However, the present story was a bit boring. There was a spark between the couple at the beginning, but that kind of died out, as they kept repeating scenes and events, the drama of the business and family matters took over, and the characters were thrown into stereotypical types that had nothing to do with their old selves. I mean, sure they were bound to change, but they still would have kept some traits of themselves, wouldn't they?

Finally, the performances were really good from everyone, but there has to be given a special shout out to the younger actors and the kids of the cast.

So, overall, 6.5 out of 10, because the past story was really enjoyable but the present was boring and predictable.
