It's a hit and miss!
This show starts of pretty good and interesting however the plot line makes no sense by episode 4. It's rather unrealsitics in its portrayal of 'realism'. I think nextflix tanked ti show biig time by trying to maek it such a deviant from the normal kdrama love stories. The main couple is ok but honestly sometimes I wish they broke up and Ha-Kyung would go back to her ex as they had better chemistry on screen that her current boyfriend.There are numerous things to overlook if you really want to watch this drama:
1. The overbearing mother and disrespectful daughter Ha-Hyung- Like I get her mother is too much but she hangs up and her mom so much and chooses to threa then not talking to her when she diasgrees with her mother. Like seriously she lost her dad and has no real appreciation for her mom unless she in the hospital. The dr in one episode says don't stress her out to help with her health and by the next episode she is back to being at odds with her mother. Like they is a better way to deal with your overbearing parents.
2. The wife of Dong han is aweful to say the least, after 14 years apart she has no love towards her husband and not even slightly grateful to have him back. all she does is insult his attempts at making amends for being away for so long anf hardly ever tells him how she really feels not that he is perfect but man does he try to do stuff to help since being back. Like I get that resentment was had but at no point does she try to understand his point of view. And goes as far as stopping her own daughter from seeing her father like seriously.
3. Lee-Si Woo ex-girlfriend is truly unlikeable, she is a b@#$% for sure. She has no remorse for cheating on her ex as thoug him not wanting marriage was a good enough reason to dismiss him while still having cheating on him at the same time. Seh never once apologies and then she is jealous when he does move on from her and hates his new gf as though she has any right to when she was the one who left him. Like that's just unrealistic to me.
4. Ha-Kyung's ex is just irriatble but barely decent, if he didn't cheat on her I would say that she should have gone back to him. Just cus he clearly still loved her but just wasn't good at expressing his real feeling of incompetency with her and asking for more effort on her part. He stalked Ha kyung more than talking to his wife, so he clearly still loved her more then his new wife
and had more chemistry with her than his own relationship. Him appearing to “love” Ye-Jin felt force and inorganic to the plot line as they were always fighting and could never really trust each other til the end. This was a rebound relationship that wasnt meant to work out but in order to be unique they made them workout which really they weren't fix for each other.
5. This bizarre return to ex as friends right after having an affair with the current person is also unbareable like seriously that's toxic and unrealistic. This shows goes downhill slowly and comes hill even longer. The only couple worth watching is her sister falling for 1302 guy. It' watchable but probably best to skip it if you are looking for a sensible storyline with a cute couple cus this is not it. The lead's are just annoying and rude in the wrong parts of the story at times so it's mostlty skipabble.
6. It felt like netflix was trying real hard to be original by goind such drastic line of plot progession but it was also just downright poor writing in this way as it didnt match the pace of the characters one bit dispite the good acting from everyone.
7. May update based on ending as.

Another messed up relationship dynamic
Just three episodes in, but I find myself literally unable to watch more.The positives:
* The acting is actually quite good, IMHO -- the female lead is (appropriately) reserved and careful; the male lead youthfully smiling and happy. I actually love the secondary characters in this quite a bit -- their stories are ones that I might actually want to know more about :)
* The weather component of the show really captures attention! One positive thing about the Netflix Kdramas lately is that they are based in unusual and interesting settings, so that one learns a little bit about these different jobs that are all around but we don't think about much.
* The visual feel of the show is very nice.
Now for the negatives - listed in order of their awfulness:
* The relationship between the leads: It's not the age difference (not a big one, and its existence will likely play a role in later episodes), or lack of chemistry between them (again, we do not expect that at the start of the show -- it's supposed to develop) -- it's the work dynamic between the two. As a female executive, I felt revulsion from the very start -- to begin with, he calls her emotional, goes over her head, and acts pretty much like every stereotype of an overbearing guy in the workplace. And, of course, there are no real consequences to his actions. And she just lets it go! Completely forgotten by episode 3. Frankly, that did it for me -- I cannot imagine a circumstance under which an actual woman would ever get together with a man who did something like this.
* The two "exes" in the show are so atrociously repulsive as to be completely unbelievable. These are people our leads have known for years (decades in the case of the ex-boyfriend) -- and just now is when they find out what horrible people they are? Again -- completely unrealistic -- no one can "play" nice for 10+ years. It would take much too much energy, for one thing.
I am willing to suspend disbelief for a good show, but these two negatives are simply asking way too much.

Well paced, well acted and developed slice of life romantic drama
10/10 is my rating. This is a 2022 South Korean slice of life romantic comedy. It has 16, approximately 65 minute episodes. Alternatively known as Weather People and KMA: The Cruelty of In-House Romance.Synopsis
Jin Ha-kyung (Park Min-young) was on the verge of getting married to her fiance after a 10 year relationship. Both worked for the Korean Meteorological Administration (KMA) and were a well known couple in the office. Ha-kyung is humiliated when she finds out, on the brink of their wedding, that her fiance is being unfaithful with a young reporter who also works with them. Han Ki-joon (Song Kang) is a forecaster at KMA and Ha-kyung winds up being the Director of the section he works in. He is the ex of the girl Ha-Kyung's fiance cheated with. Ha-kyung vowed to never have a workplace romance again but when a one night stand with Ki-joon leads to something more it may be hard for her to keep that vow. Can the two convince each other and others that their romance was not just a rebound and that they had no intention of becoming a couple out of revenge? Can they keep their relationship a secret from co-workers who may judge them as a superior and subordinate as well as for the age gap?
Review
Korean dramas are rarely risque but this one has some moments that make it refreshing and also lead to some hilarity. I liked that they slept together and it created this dynamic tension between them. Overcoming the age gap and supervisor subordinatehurdles added a layer of intrigue. Getting a glimpse inside the complexity of forecasting and the political ramifications of getting things wrong was interesting. I loved how her team grew closer throughout the series. I found each of the bonus romances believable and did not feel irritated when time was spent in them as I was also very drawn into those stories.
Spoilers
I thought her fiancé and his girlfriend who slept together and cheated on them would be irredeemable but was pleasantly surprised the writers turned it around and I was not angry on the main character's behalf but even started rooting for the relationship. The fact that she was able to put aside the hurt and become a good friend to her ex fiancé made her an all the more likable female lead. Same with the male lead and his ex girlfriend, the fact that he was always there for her and she for him as friends was heartwarming. Park Min Young is such a great actress and Ienjoy watching her bring the characters to life. I recommend this for fans of any of the main characters, for those that like slice of life, and as a well paced heartwarming romance.

Climate Change agenda
Okay so as far as stories go, this one is just full of paraphernalia and NWO agenda of “climate change” and chaos instead of family.I definitely had my laughs and tears but overall - it lacked big time apart from the agenda of the above comment.
Watched it because of the brilliant cast layout and was thoroughly disappointed in the end.
When family is the core of society that leads to health and longevity (even if we’re told otherwise by those who are trying to break it down) is portrayed as something that pain cannot overcome because of parents bad choices then we have most definitely lost a very big blessing in our lives.
So glad that the couple decided to keep the baby in the end and they’re decision to overcome things together, again a family thing, shows what love can do.
The older couple who decide to fight to keep their marriage and family together also helped me continue to the end.
The modern idea that marriage is the “end of love” is a fallacy. Love is a decision, not merely a feeling that comes or goes with a whim. It’s the decision to stick it out through good, bad and ugly.
It also brings amazing blessing in life and society and family is one thing that you can come back to, yes even when it seems like the ugly kind. I’m not saying that there are those who don’t deserve to have kids or those who have been abused or are abusers but family is still family.

Weak storyline and weak characters too
I couldn't get past 3 episodes of this drama and dropped it after much eye-rolling and frustration. The storyline wasn't the most exciting (either from a romantic or thrilling aspect), but what killed it for me were the characters that we were supposed to be invested in were just so weak. The FL was just spineless and let her cheating ex walk all over her. How many times is the audience expected to just be satisfied with increasing scumbag behavior from the ex and only get an open-mouthed look of shock from the FL and nothing but acquiescence and silence? Is it her life's mission to not stand up for herself and be treated as a doormat? From reading other reviews, it seems this doesn't change much throughout most of the drama so no. Just no.Was this review helpful to you?
Me encantó pese a no verlo en el momento correcto
Mi problema con este drama es que a pesar de tener todo lo que me podría gustar, se me hizo tedioso y terminé bastante en terminarlo. Siento que no lo vi en el momento correcto o quizás por estar esperando a que Netflix lo emitiera. Pero no por ello lo voy a menospreciar porque ya es algo personal. Forecasting Love and Weather en verdad me ha encantado tanto su trama, los personajes y su evolución. Me ha gustado como ha tratada los temas principales: El matrimonio y el amor. Lo que sucede al enlazarnos con una persona. Contando así varias versiones de esta y agregando el punto de vista de la sociedad. Porque por culpa de ella normalizamos cosas que luego ni siquiera sabemos qué tiene eso de malo.Nos encontramos con historias tan diferentes y tan bien tratadas. Con una evolución bastante buena. Una cosa que se ha merecido mi respeto por este drama es que te incita a que casarse no es la meta en la vida sino, disfrutarla y ya ahí tomar la decisión que veas correcta para aplicarla a tu vida.
Vemos ese lado de el qué dirán, la familia, estatus, etcétera. Básicamente: La sociedad.
La madre de la protagonista está completamente entregada a encontrar un marido a su hija pequeña tras la cancelación de su boda. Esta tan empeñada que en vez de encontrarle marido acaba perdiendo la confianza de su hija. Porque nadie debe interponerse en una relación, da igual quién sea esa persona y menos exigirle qué prototipo debe buscar.
Según la sociedad es una vergüenza que a cierta edad no hayas cumplido lo que todo el mundo espera. Es un protocolo que pocas personas se saltan y así es como han normalizado y visto tan raro que no hayan cumplido este orden. Son tan curiosos e incluso quieren saber el estatus de la persona, edad, familia. Sacando todos los temas posibles sobre su vida privada y ya ahí calificar a las personas según vean correcto. Por eso me ha gustado todavía más porque en ningún momento lo han normalizado.
Tengo que mencionar que la historia de dos personajes me ha encantado su evolución pese que al principio no me importaban en absoluto. Se me ha hecho súper bonito y un claro ejemplo de lo que es amar realmente.
Me ha gustado mucho como han relacionado el amor y la vida misma, con el clima. Explicando ciertos sucesos que ocurren con los cambios climáticos. Porque así es realmente la vida.
La estética de este drama la he sentido muy bonita. Es una historia tan tranquila para verla mientras tomas algo. Y a veces este tipo de dramas se te hace muy reconfortante.
Mi puntuación es 9,5/10
La única pega que quizás le pongo y ya es SPOILER: No me ha gustado que perdone al padre solo porque tiene cáncer. Es decir, le ha robado, le ha tratado fatal. Podrían haber hecho algo mejor para mantener esa relación. Siento que fue puro relleno para ponerle historia al protagonista o una excusa, pero bueno, he visto casos peores. Así que como la trama no va de esto voy a dejarlo pasar.

Jolie romance même si ce n'est pas le drama du siècle
Je ne comprends pas les critiques assez sévères qui sont émises sur ce drama. A cause des 2 leads, les attentes étaient très hautes ce qui explique la déception ?? Franchement, ce drama n'est pas si mauvais ...STORY :
Le plot tourne essentiellement autour de la romance au sein du service de Prévisions Météo Nationales, entre 1 directrice = Park Min Young et 1 jeune météorologue surdoué = Song Kang (après leurs ruptures respectives).
Leur histoire est traitée de façon actuelle (on n'attend pas 15 épisodes pour qu'ils se mettent ensemble :), et assez réaliste.
On suit de façon détaillée le travail, les relations au sein de ce Département de Météo. Je n'avais jamais imaginé auparavant que des prévisions météo (que le téléspectateur regarde d'un œil distrait) puissent avoir autant d'impacts économiques, de sécurité publique, de conséquences financières !
D'autres thèmes sont évoqués :
- Pour avoir le sentiment d'avoir réussi sa vie, est-ce une obligation d'être en couple ? de se marier ? (les femmes subissent visiblement une très forte pression familiale et sociale à ce propos, bien plus en Asie qu'en Europe, j'ai l'impression)
- Équilibre vie professionnelle/ vie personnelle
- Relations familiales quand un des parents travaille à distance (longtemps)
- Angoisse à créer de nouveaux liens quand on a été blessé
Etc.
ACTING :
Hormis les 2 leads dont les éloges ne sont plus à faire tant au niveau de leurs visuels que de leur talent, tous les acteurs sont excellents. Les personnages secondaires (très nombreux puisqu'on suit l'évolution de chaque membre de la Team 2 et de 4 couples) sont bien développés.
TECHNIQUE :
La narration est assez lente. Il n'y a pas de longueurs, mais le rythme est volontairement très mesuré.
Le recours très fréquent à des navettes chronologiques (on vous montre le résultat d'une action, puis ce qui c'est passé 2 jours plus tôt, puis on revient au présent) est un peu agaçant.
Les images sont belles, tant les paysages que les phénomènes météo.
Les OST accompagnent bien les émotions, et j'ai beaucoup aimé les génériques de fin d'épisodes.
Pour conclure, si vous n'avez pas envie d'une série d'action, de suspens, mais plutôt d'une paisible romance, n'hésitez pas ce drama est fait pour vous !

Começa excelente, depois desanima
Clima do amor é desses doramas que começa com tudo, mas acaba se perdendo no meio. É muito bem feito em muitos aspectos, todo o ambiente construído de trabalho dos metereologistas e as cenas de desastres naturais, não deve ter sido barato gravar tudo isso e foi muito bem executado. Outro ponto forte é a denúncia de machismo frequente na sociedade coreana, várias mulheres sofrendo de invalidação no trabalho, sobrecarga materna, revitimizadas de traumas e alvos de fofocas constantes, o dorama não erra nesse aspecto e é muito bem retratado. O problema mesmo ocorre do meio do dorama pra frente que é o romance, avançou de forma excelente e depois ficou estático e passou a desnecessários momentos de sofridão exagerada. Uma pena, pois sou muito fã do Song Kang e da talentosíssima Kim Mi Kyung desde “Healer”.Was this review helpful to you?
Très belle romance et doublée en français qui plus est !
Je trouve personnellement que les dramas coréens ont la fâcheuse tendance à véhiculer leur lot de petites déceptions comme des personnages secondaires passés à la trappe ou les incohérences de scénario .Ce n'est pas le cas ici avec des personnages mis en situation dans cette structure d'état dont l'importance est soulignée: niveaux de vigilance, les médias, conséquences sur la population...
La trame de fond est somme toute assez banale avec le thème, réaliste si l'en est, des liaisons ( et ruptures !) sur le lieu de travail. Les problèmes apparaissant avec les conflits et potins mondains inévitables, en Corée comme ailleurs...
Cependant, je suis tenté d'adoucir ce dernier genre en faisant le parallèle avec "Le Jeu de l'amour et du hasard" de Marivaux et qui pourrait s'appliquer ici.
Tous les personnages entrent en scène pratiquement d'un seul coup, avec chacun son rôle à jouer mais le tout étant lié précisément par l'importance de leur activité.
Hormis les chassés-croisés amoureux, on apprend beaucoup de la vie des familles et collègues de tout ce petit monde auquel on va très vite s'attacher.
C'est, à mon sens, tout l'intérêt de ce drama qui permet en outre d'apprécier au mieux le très bon jeu des acteurs avec sa version en français.
En résumé, ne manquez pas ce titre ravissant, surtout si vous êtes du genre romantique.

Si puedes elegir otra serie… hazlo
La serie promete al principio, pero poco a poco se va convirtiendo en un sinsentido más largo que un día sin pan.Entiendo que es ficción, pero hay escenas que son demasiado telenoveleras y que, sinceramente, no entiendo qué hacen en la trama; sobre todo en los capítulos finales.
De hecho, la trama tampoco es nada del otro jueves. Entiendo que es una serie sobre relaciones humanas, pero creo que todo lo que se dice en la serie se podía haber contado con cinco capítulos menos. Y con menos explicaciones de meteorología que, a ver, como punto diferente de este drama respecto a otros es interesante, pero hasta un punto.
Y, por favor, basta ya de abusar del recurso del flashback. He visto la escena hace dos minutos, NO es necesario repetirla. De verdad, no. La recuerdo, lo prometo.
Grandes actores, pero poco que salvar. Una pena.
