Life Lessons

Before writing this review, I came across many other reviews regarding this series. Many of them focused on general aspects like story, characters, plot etc. But according to me this series is really a different one. Lets begin with the title itself. " At a distance, Spring is Green". Youth is something considered to be the "Spring season" in every ones life. People will experience different emotions during this stage. So generally youth is full of spring, but at a distance. In reality it is the most struggling period in ones life. Struggle with career, money, compromise everything. So youth is not that springful. It carries lots of pain and struggles. This is what exactly the series is all about. Three main characters, depicts three different life situations. Joon, even though he is rich, and has all luxuries in life, he does not have a faithful person in his life. He is always in need of affection and love. What does this shows? Money and luxuries cant assure you happiness. Isn't it a very striking reality. Many of us are running behind money, without even realizing that money alone cant make you the happiest person. Coming to the next male lead, he is sacrificing himself. He thinks that a person who is poor, is not just poor. He doesn't even have the freedom or don't have the right to dream. But the positive aspect is that he is struggling with all odds to have a happy life. Then comes the female lead, She is hardworking. As Jonn says, " you are the only one person who does not know how perfect you are". She lacks confidence. She is not able to realize herself. But the most positive part is three leads coming together and sharing their moments, helping and caring each other.

The drama is very different, as it focuses to convey many harsh realities of life. Apart from usual clich'es and melodramas, this is definitely a must watch series. As rightly pointed out at the beginning of the series, At a distance Spring is Green. Go closer and observe, you will see something different. So viewers go to the depth of the series to see what it really contains.
