Disappointing and Unsatisfying
I started this show with alot of excitement. I have never seen a kdrama based on the Weather Forecast. This seemed really new and exciting. But the story left me very unsatisfied.
What i liked:
i liked the weather aspect alot. It opened my eyes to the difficulties and hardwork that comes with this job, especially as a person living in South Asia, where theres only 2 seasons.
The OST was great, and increased the quality of the show and so were the actors. I watched Navillera and Her Private Life before so i was looking forward to this drama.
What I Did Not Like:
Sad to say, there's more I did not like than the things I liked.
1. The show making Ki Joon and Yujin (esp Ki Joon) seem like good people, after they cheated their way out of their previous relationships. I hated that Hakyung and Siwoo kept going to these two horrible people for advice, like who does that? Ki Joon did nothing good to be deserving of forgiveness. Yujin especially never even apologised to Siwoo for wronging him and blamed him. Their characters were not written well at all.
2. The overused "My Mostly Absent Sort Of Terrible Parent Has Cancer/Terminal Illness So I Will Forgive Him" trope. This was in 2 other shows I watched and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth each time. These parents force their kids to give them a ton of money for gambling while they never actually cared for them in the first place. And then suddenly they get sick and now all is okay?? They apologise because they are close to death, not because they actually feel bad. Writers need to realise that, parents can be horrible, and the children CAN leave them forever and still be happy.
3. Yujin and Ki Joon's screentime. They should not have gotten this much screentime, esp in the second haf of the show where they got more than the main characters. Like what??
4. Senior Forecaster Um's relationship with his family getting developed so so so slowly was killing me. We only got like uh 3 minutes of screentime with his family not fighting?? in a 16 episode kdrama?
5. The constant breaking up and making up cycle that never seemed to end, between the first and second main couples. It's just overdone and boring. Especially when the development between the Mc's relationship wasn't even properly done. Their entire Relationship was based on lust, and this happened not long after they got CHEATED on?? We never knew why they both liked each other, or any scenes where they shared an actual deep moment. Only time I felt anything was when they were at the restaurant where Hakyung was treating Kijoon's wounds.
OVERALL: basically, The first half of the show was fun to watch. The second half got tiring very quick. I don't know what the writers were trying to do. We never got any development between Hakyung's team. I expected we'd see more on Hakyun'g growth as a young Director, but it was all break up make up break up make up and then we got a tiny Director moment at the middle of the last episode?? Disappointing.
I expected better. But we can't always have what we want.
