You Are My Spring was slow-paced, touching, and relatable to everyone. It is particularly understandable to those who have been emotionally wounded or even those who just feel down because of the cruel reality of our society. The overall plot was subtle but I think is perfect for the spring-like theme of the drama. The romance was lovely and sweet and I think this is enough reason to watch the show!!

The characters were all nice and good people that it is impossible to dislike a person in this show! The characters help each other and even the leads, I sincerely wished everyone a happy ending. As for the character development, it was also good as we saw the characters grow from unapproachable, lacking, and wounded individuals into people who try to better themselves, accept their imperfections, and shone. Also, chemistry between the leads was amazing too particularly because A-list actors Seo Hyun Jin and Kim Dong Wook were able to add life into their characters and delivered their roles very well. I think their paring for this drama is another reason to give this show a try despite the low ratings. They really carried the whole show, and they are just absolutely adorable to watch! ^^

The only flaw I found from this show was its ambitious goal of mixing too many genres together, that ended it ruining the whole drama's theme. I wish they should have just stuck to slice-of-life and romcom, it would have been perfect. Also ending it up until episode 12 or 14 would have done its job perfectly. Murder mystery and romantic comedy k-dramas are highly popular and I think this is the reason why the writers included a bit of those genres in this show, but I think rather than categorizing You Are My Spring as something like that, this is really more of a healing slow paced drama.

The show wasn't outstanding as it has its downsides but it wasn't bad either. I don't get why people had given ratings so low, when it the show had its strong points, had finished the ending neatly, and delivered a good message unlike others that are overrated and had meaningless plot. Overall, if you like spring-like dramas with sweet and slow paced romance with a nice and good closure I think this shoe would be perfect for you.
