One Spring Night is often compared to Something…

One Spring Night is often compared to Something in the Rain because it has the same scriptwriter and director, there might be similarities with how the angles, flow, shots, ost, and vibes probably because for us to know that this is Ahn Pan Seok’s work that he has a certain kind of technicalities on his hands but to tell you the truth it’s different especially with the story; the characters are not perfect, they are selfish, they have flaws, they even admit that to themselves. Also, the story somehow often associated with the subject of ‘cheating’ between the three characters as for the first impression but for me I think it’s more than the subject of cheating but the series shows the emotional depth of the characters in its layers and how they deal with their conflicts in a way you could feel irritated, satisfy or sympathize with them. The characters are straightforward as well as the story. It’s a slow pace but it’s the kind of slow that burns. The side characters also have an interesting subplot that actually blends with the main plot and I love the side characters as they are really a foundation for the main characters. The simplicity of the flow, the possible metaphors & symbolism in this series and how it’s very humane, really got me. I love how each episode doesn’t lose its momentum and I hope it continues throughout the series.One Spring Night is not yet finished but we’re already half-way to it. The first week of pilot episodes really didn’t disappoint me and they meet my expectations. I have good expectations to Ahn Pan Seok’s work and the following weeks after the first two episodes didn’t lose its momentum. There is a lot of variety of dramas airing in a week but One Spring Night is the only one that really gets my feels. I’m glad that Han Ji Min and Jung Hae In are our main leads. I think I haven’t seen a lot of people crediting Han Ji Min but she really owns her scenes and this woman can contain her emotions, she is lovely on screen and even off-screen during their making film; she is the reason why I anticipate this drama the moment she confirms the casting. Jung Hae In, tbh I feel sorry for him that people often tells how he’s typecast for this kind of dramas & it’s true that we want to see him on another genre but the man can act, you can see his improvements as an actor, I bet he consider Ahn Pan Seok as a mentor and he finds the script good that’s why he agrees with it but we can't deny Jung Hae In on melo-romance is very charming. Han Ji Min and Jung Hae In has that calm yet palpable chemistry on screen and if you’ll watch their making film which by the way not available internationally, the two main leads work together as partners and even working together to make their scenes effective and palpable and during their making film they all have laughs, smiles & good conversations, you can tell how the cast & crew gets along.I also like to add a little trivia, around 2014 Jung Hae In got asked who is the most beautiful actress he has ever seen and he answered Han Ji Min, he complimented her visual as doll-like, as he already met her that time during a cast dinner of Han Ji Min’s film & on the dinner table he shared that he sat in front of Han Ji Min then on 2015 he got asked who’s actress he wants to work with and he mentioned Han Ji Min, he also shared that he met her in 2014 then Haein at that time thought that he has a low chance of working with Han Jimin because she is a very busy actress & a senior in the industry but he has high hopes to work with her then years later, 2019 Jung Hae In and Han Ji Min are main leads to a beautiful project, it took years but thank you kdrama gods for Han Jimin & Jung Haein. I hope the scriptwriter gives a good development and resolve that the characters deserve.I think a lot of people burned out from Something in the Rain and there's a part of me wish this headline first but yes, if SINTR didn't came first then the changes & improvements from the writer wouldn't be visible so yes I thank One Spring Night for filling in my weekly feels.
