Would be great if it had nothing to do with the weather forecast.

Yes, the title of this review essentially means this drama would be amazing if they basically changed the entire plot. Personally, the fact that the story is based around a group of workers in a weather forecasting agency is so pointless and DRY. I understand they were trying to bring a new kind of setting to a kdrama that hasn’t been seen before but honestly I found myself skipping every single moment they were talking about the weather.

Every single actor is TOP TIER i must say. I have to say especially Yoon Park’s character. He was absolutely amazing from start to end, you hate him in the beginning and gradually grow to love him. I think his character is the reason I kept watching to be honest. The comedic relief at some points yet immensely emotional when needed. His character development was absolutwly awesome so I hope he gets recognised a lot for his role. Again, Lee Sung-Wook was equally as amazing in this drama. So if you are like me in that you watch kdramas more for the great acting and being INVESTED IN CHARACTERS RATHER THAN THE PLOT, then maybe this drama is the next one for you!

IT’S A SHAME THAT you can tell there was so much thought into each individual character and their background and their development BUT, it was all so disjointed and it just seemed quite messy to me. Even with the second lead love interests (not KiJun and Yoojin) involving hakyungs sister, I just couldn’t feel myself getting invested in their story WITHIN THE PLOT, it just felt like they were off in another kdrama world completely.

THE PLOT AT THE BEGINNING was essentially, the main couple trying to avoid people at work figuring out their relationship and I thought OKAY, this is what the plot is going to be, it should be interesting. Especially as hakyung said if anyone finds out then they have to break up. I genuinely thought that would be the plot, theyd keep it a secret most of the time, get to ep 12/13 and they get figured out, break up and then by ep16 theyre back together for good. BUT THAT PLOT WENT COMPLETELY OUT THE WINDOW. It was about their secret for about 3 episodes and then it completely strayed and the plot became so so confused. I feel like, because there are so many different characters who the writers are trying to show and express, the episodes dont actually move anywhere? It just focuses on individuals. As I said this can be a positive for those who are okay with an EXTREMELY SLOW MOVING PLOT BUT QUALITY CHARACTERS.

To round off, WOULD I RECOMMEND IT? NO. WOULD I REWATCH IT? ABSOLUTELY NOT? WILL I WATCH THE NEXT DRAMAS THESE ACTORS ARE IN? YES FOR SURE!
EXCEPT!!! I do love Song Kang don’t get me wrong but honestly, his characters have been so 2D since Love Alarm. Nevertheless was one of my favourite kdramas of last year but even then his character was just lacking for me. I don’t know if it the roles he chooses (I can’t speak on sweet home as i haven’t watched him in that)but for me, he comes across quite awkward. That’s my only criticism of him.
