in my head
it's just an ordinary story and that's why it's gorgeous
Oh, guys, At a Distance, Spring Is Green is a show which really surprised me and I finished it (so that’s another suprise because these days I am having hard time to complete my „currently watching dramas“). I should somehow warn you – this story doesn’t contain many action, drama or something like… (I don’t even know how I should name it) big boom? Maybe. The thing which matters the most here is ordinary life of students who tries to find themselves and create friendships between each other. And this story takes a lot of time. So if you don’t like stories which flow slowly and you don’t want to see ordinary plots, this definitely won’t be your cup of coffee. Yeah, and one thing we should clear, it is not a BL. But I think everyone would probably think this way when they watched first or maybe second episode.
I am not gonna lie. I found this drama on Viki, when I just didn’t have energy to do other things I needed to do and I actually thought this would have be some funny rom com. Drama which will not give me anything special. Oh man, how wrong I was!
From the beggining, we watch many characters, but the main ones are three. The boy, Yeo Joon, who wants to be loved by everyone because he has problems in his family, the only way out for him is to be popular, but then he realizes he wants to be loved truly. Then the boy, Nam Soo Hyun, who is poor, he needs to work all the time for paying all of his expensives, he is actually very nice, but he doesn’t want to owe something to someone so he only relies on himself and tries to stay away from people. And then our last main character, So Bin, the girl who gives up easily, doesn’t know exactly what she wants in her life, but her probably only desire (and that’s only my opinion) is to be happy and more confident than she is.
What should I say, I really love characters and the vibe of the story. I wouldn’t say that characters are described badly. I know many people assume that So Bin is the most bland character and that she doesn’t have an identity… that’s maybe a true, but if we look at it from another side, aren’t in our lives also people who are somehow bland? Who just don’t know what they should do? They are not happy, nor sad, they are just living something which should be their life. I saw me from five years ago in her. I actually like So Bin’s character because for me she was very refreshing to see – she just didn’t know what was going on with her, she had many weaknesses like her easily giving up thing and many others. So for me this idea was perfect - to describe ordinary life.
Although sometimes you just don’t like the characters you will say "this is a life, girl, you can’t be okay with everyone", so after that you again aprecciate the ordinary story which has a lot to say. I think there is a magic of this drama.
Only thing I just didn’t like that much was a bit of romantic part here (Mi Joo), but I understand what producers wanted to say to us. But for me, this was a thing which didn’t have to be here. However, again, I am here saying, this is a life and there aren’t always things we want to see. Maybe even this part is somehow valuable for me.
The vibe of the story just hits totally different and I am living for that. How I mentioned before, the storyline flows slowly because we have chance to see character‘s developments and because it is slow, that character’s change makes sense.
For acting skills, let’s appreciate Ji Hoon, please. I watched Love Revolution half a year ago and it was very fun. There I got to know Ji Hoon’s acting and I was impressed. But here, he again does amazing job and I am shocked. I can't wait for other dramas with him!
Also I really love music background. There are many songs which are stuck in my head right now and I need to download them to my phone.
I should sum it. If you don’t like slow dramas, this won’t be for you (but I said this thing immediatelly when I started write this review). But if you want ordinary drama, where characters try to find themselves, many amazing interactions between characters, just a bit of romantic line, story which will give you something more, this is really great choice. I am still shocked how good it was.
