Uma Noite de Primavera (2019)

Authencity and realistic story

If you started watching this drama after "something in the rain", you might want to reconsider or wait a bit. Even through there are similarities , dont watch "One spring night" as season 2 .


The characters are really realistic . I like the attention given to the second charactereS : they aren't caricatures or used in order to deepen our main couple's story but instead they power through struggles of their own. They're all very different from each other but equally endearing.
The acting is so well done , all of them gave a very natural performance. It really made me think i was witnessing a slice of life of real peole.

The story show us different people struggling with the korean society expectation ( societal pressures and conservative values ). The romance is really slow burn ( a bit too slow for me) but reinforce the aunthencity of the story.

On the negative side, the music. The style fit the drama fut it felt like the same song was playing during the whole se

This is the drama to watch if you are looking for realistic story without the plot employed by other Korean dramas.

Am huge jung hae in fan after I watched him in prison playbook.
I just read the synopsis and jumped to my screen with popcorn and binged this beautiful drama.
I havent watched SITR which is so much said in other reviews. Well tbh I skipped a few scenes of the supporting character as they were really annoying.
•Story-The synopsis is just a tip of iceberg the story is more vast,developing,romantic and deep.
This show had lots of heart-wrenching moments.
Even though the breakup was taking longer episodes, but that was where the character developed.The three sisters bond was amazing.

•Acting- junghaein, as Yu ji ho was very mature and intense. He just blended in the character. His handsome face was real appealing to this role.
Hanjimin as Lee jeong in was confident and powerful acting.
•Music- each song was beautiful and meaningful. The lyrics,the music, was soulful and catchy. I even updated my playlist with osn songs.
no direction was a catchy song with upbeat music, makes me humm it while it plays in background.we could still be happy, when this was played as BGM it was so apt for the situation. Spring rain, is it you, spring waltz were also worth listening.
•Rewatch-its a beautiful romance, I would watch it when I have forgotten the story to fresh up my mind as I already know the story.
•Fav scene
When eun-u calls jeong in mom I couldn’t stop my tears.
Bonding of mothers even though there was no dialogue,the emotions kept overwhelming.

Jung Hae In has become one of my favorites, and this show was redemption for his last drama - Something in the Rain which ended so disappointingly. He was perfect in this, as was Han Ji Min, who has risen up to my favorites as well this past year.

My biggest complaint with the storyline is that the issues with the ex-boyfriend drag on way longer than they had any need to. I thought his role in the story would be done by episode 7/8, and they could move on to other issues. But that wasn't to be the case. As with SitR, One Spring Night has that realistic, raw feel to it, with great use of mood and tone.
My second and last complaint about the show is that, as also in SitR, the music was played too loudly in some scenes and although gorgeous music choices, they overplayed them quite a bit.

I loved the emotional Ji Ho and the forthright Jung In. I could relate to them. I loved Jung In's sisters as well, and wish their storylines had been explored a little more rather than the continuous merry-go-round with Gi Seok. Gi Seok's character was tied with Jung In's father as the least likable characters on the show. It made me both sad and a little angry thinking that Korean parents might actually be anything like Jung In's father. The other parents of the main couple were really enjoyable and sympathetic to me. And little Eun-Woo was adorable! I would also liked to have seen them interact with him a little more.

You'll see many of the same actors/actresses that Ahn Pan Seok likes to use, and they all are amazing.
But I'll warn anyone off of it that hated Something in the Rain. All the things that you may have disliked about it are still present in this drama, just with a better last few episodes. I'm well aware that my 8.5 rating is because I personally enjoyed the show and loved the actors, the music, and the romance, and for the sake of the romance with 2 of my favorite actors, was willing to overlook some flaws in the storyline.

I write review based on my feeling around 24hrs after watching a drama. I fee this is enough time to sit back and think of what went on without judgement being clouded.

The casting I believe was all wrong. Ji-Ho character was fine but Jeong-in looked far too mature on screen for her age. I thought nearly the whole time (until it was mentioned) that she was older than him and that it was going to turn into a forbidden love due to age. The clothing was all wrong! Who wears her kid of outfits/shoes even to work in your early 30’s? Not sure if they were trying to dress her as an image of her job but imho it looked stranger.

Even as a well educated lady, I struggled with the dialogue. Whether it be the translations or not but I found a lot of it was question and answer. Why do this and why do that. I struggled to comprehend in part exactly what the problem was as the answers were never straight forward.

The music we all know was rubbish. The songs themselves were easy on the ear but by the end you know the lyrics off by heart it plays that often.

Overall, it’s a good watch if you like realistic stories of Korean culture. For me, it seemed to far fetched and frustrating at times due to the push and pull of the love triangle, the MF family and don’t get me started on the secondary storyline of Seo-in.

Um drama com um ar melancólico e relaxante

Sinceramente um dos melhores, se não o melhor dorama que já assisti. Amo toda a atmosfera e ambientação feita pelo diretor, há um ar de melancolia e de maturidade conseguindo ao mesmo tempo possuir um ar de comédia romântica, e bem mais natural e menos forçado que alguns filmes/séries.

A narrativa não é nada muito criativa, é a história de uma mulher comprometida que se apaixona por um homem que possui um filho e o cria sozinho, porém, apesar de não ser criativo é muito bem construída de uma forma que não seja nada muito forçado igual a outros dramas com enredo similar. A atuação é outro ponto fortíssimo da série, claro, há algumas exceções, mas no geral o elenco fez um bom trabalho, um ponto de que gostei na atuação foi as cenas românticas, que geralmente são meio "tímidas" em doramas, aqui não, as cenas são ótimas e bem realistas, é visível a química dos protagonistas.

A direção de arte é muito competente, eles conseguem passar um ar de melancólico e mais maduro a série, porém, conseguem também transmitir um ar mais cômico e relaxante. Um dos defeitos (um dos poucos) é que o ritmo é meio lento e monótono em algumas partes, mas nada que faça o dorama ser um tédio, porém, vale lembrar que nem todos iram gostar desse ritmo que é bem conhecido nos doramas do Jung Hae-in (Something in the Rain e A Piece of Your Mind).

A OST também é perfeita. Eu recomendo demais ver este dorama, dê uma chance para ele.

One of the rawest, most honest, passionate romances I’ve seen.

Crude. Feels like open flesh
If feelings could kill I could’ve died.
It is so frustrating. And also, frustratingly good.
I cannot express enough.
I thought I wouldn’t feel this way watching a drama again. I thought it wasn’t possible to fall in love with another drama this way. The burning passion.

Burning, passionate, warm, frustrating, raw, expressive, heated love story.
It is anything but cliche.
It is incredible how the story is told. Realistic, yet intensively romantic.

I have stopped caring about the world for 10 continuous hours. And felt like I walked in spring’s breeze.

The story really could have gone bad if it wasn’t for the director (and writer). It could have been another slumping cliche.
I have respect for the director Ahn Pan Seok, and I can’t help but feel greedy and want him to cast the same cast and crew he does every time, especially Jung Hae In.
Yes, I hated some characters, but I loved the writer for including them. They’re all given almost equal importance.

I wish that in the future more directors and writers learn to capture our feelings the way they did; with an original story and captivating characters.

Parting with it is so hard and so difficult. I wanted a painful love story, and I got it.
This might feel like a cozy drama, but it is a devil of pain in disguise. Definitely not light.
I read what someone said in their review “this drama is so tiring to watch” and I 100% agree with that.

It's so memorable down to the lines.

I have written so much but nothing about the acting. That is because it was not...

IT DID NOT FEEL LIKE ACTING. It felt so real. So, so real. Really.
(and it gave me a hard time trying to believe that it’s not real and get over it).
It was like their eyes were speaking to you; pouring their emotions out. As if they weren’t the actors but they were the characters themselves. Everything felt so sincere. I’ve fallen for Jung Hae In's acting in SITR, but he was someone else here, but still with a big loving heart. His body language spoke louder than him.
Han Ji Min has a very special place with me now and I regret not appreciating her more seriously before this.
Joo Min Kyung is a show stealer!

They felt like real people, real families, real friends, real sisters, real fathers, real mothers, real parents, real grandparents, real children, real incidents, real problems, real world, yet it was just a melodrama.

I don’t understand the way many people say that this drama is similar to SITR …
Yes, if you look at the big picture they may seem similar. I would definitely recommend one if you liked the other.
But not if you look closely. They are both romances, that start in secret, about two people falling in love, and then trying to get accepted by their families. But in reality, the stories are so different. A whole different kind.

The music that many people criticize, it beautifully carried the show with passion. It was perfect.
I couldn’t get the drama out of my head and I had to listen to the ost but then…
I cried my heart out listening to the ost. I sobbed, when I didn't shed a tear while watching it. I was engulfed then.
It makes me go crazy, this drama.

I really like older dramas (from before 2013) much more but this drama makes me forget that I miss them.

A line that broke my Heart: “If I go after the thing that I want, will I get punished?”

Por que voce assistiria?

Em um dia qualquer da semana, você acorda atrasada para o trabalho e com ressaca. Você dormiu na casa de sua melhor amiga. Com a cara toda amassada e sentindo mal-estar, resolve entrar numa farmácia qualquer que encontrou no meio do caminho. Imaginou? Uma situação corriqueira, né!? Mas essa não é uma farmácia qualquer. O balconista será o grande amor de sua vida. Em uma noite de primavera, uma paixão nascerá.

É um dorama sobre pessoas, suas rotinas e as conexões que elas têm ou desenvolvem ao longo do tempo. Não há grandes vilões e obstáculos surreais.
Quando estava assistindo à serie e vi como Ji-ho era desprezado por ter um filho, achei um absurdo (ainda mais que a criança é fofa demais). Mas quer saber? eu não namoraria alguém que tem um filho se eu fosse solteira. Esse tipo de preconceito não é exclusivo da Coreia do Sul. Obviamente, lá, isso é muito mais forte, porque entra na parte de tradição familiar, reputação e imagem etc e tal....

Eles tentam se afastar, se botam em situações difíceis e confusas, pois não sabem como lidar com tudo aquilo. Mas em nenhum momento sentimos que eles são pessoas ruins tomando decisões questionáveis. Eles são duas pessoas boas, que se conhecem em um momento não tão ideal, mas que se apaixonam genuinamente e passam a lutar para ficar juntos. Não tem maldade.
Eu morri de amores por esses dois! Não tem como não sorrir ao ver a felicidade que eles sentem por simplesmente terem se encontrado. Viraram um dos meus casais preferidos da vida!

SPOILERS ABAIXO

Sobre as irmãs da protagonista: Essas três são mulheres fortes, determinadas, mas sensíveis e gentis. Elas se apoiam durante o dorama inteiro, se protegem e se amam.... Amei, amei, amei.
A mais velha ( questionamento: Uma mulher que está sendo violentada por seu marido tem que continuar aguentando o casamento por que ficou grávida?) é uma mulher incrível. Ela não teve um casamento fácil, passou e passa por diversos momentos complicados, mas continua firme, lutando pelos seus direitos e pela sua liberdade.
Já a mais nova (Questionamento: Uma mulher querer viver sua vida livre conhecendo vários lugares sem se preocupar com casamento, é errado?) é aquela personagem que você olha e acha que vai ser doidinha, mas é justamente o contrário. Ela é muito sensata! Sempre direta, dizendo o que pensa não importa para quem. (VOCE IA BATER NELA?? BATE EM MIM!! VOCE GOSTA DE BATER EM MULHER?? que cena! ) Ela não é grossa, mas fala o que pensa e está sempre ali para dar suporte as suas irmãs. Resumindo: elas são TUDO para mim.(caiu uma lágrima quando lembrei de uma cena das 3)

SE TEM PARTES QUE EU NAO GOSTEI ? SIM, afinal , eu nao sou a roteirista. ahaha

AHHH Gente que OST maravilhosa, meu marido nao é dorameiro mas ele toca essa musica no violão até hoje, baixou ela no celular e é uma musica preferida dele.
Resumindo? Esse dorama é puro amorzinho e vai te ensinar muito sobre respeito, felicidade e liberdade. É uma lição de vida sobre escolhas, amor e família. Se você gosta de dramas assim, pode correr e assistir. Se não....

mature, understated, yet juicy melodrama

This is my favorite drama. First off, let me say I actually love stories, books, movies, and shows about complex people making decisions that might not be seen as morally correct. To me, that's what makes things exciting. The question of whether she was cheating and whether that automatically makes the drama bad is so funny to me. Personally, I believe it was "morally grey" of her to do what she did and I loved that!

But even besides my tendency towards loving messy characters, I've watched this drama three times because I love the themes! ! ! And I enjoyed the dialogue so much. I understood their intentions and in the rare moments I didn't, the script and direction let me in again. I love the actions the main characters take to be in each other's lives, I found it satisfying and easy to watch. On top of that, I cared about every single thing that every single character was going through because of the script and acting was so realistic and believable. I was invested in every plotline and I felt that the pacing was perfect, even though there was some scenes where "nothing happened." I felt that every moment was perfect in telling us what the characters were feeling or thinking of doing without loads and loads of narration. The direction was soothing and understated, letting the script speak.

I thought the chemistry between the leads was immediately fantastic, perfect tension and beautifully sweet moments later on that felt earned. Jungin was so headstrong and clear, but at the same time exhausted and conflicted by her situation which is why others may have called her wishy-washy. And Jiho....like? That's my man, for real. I loved everything he did and said, even when it may have come off as clingy. I love a simp, sorry.

I think the idea that characters should always do what is "right" or what you want them to do is so silly. If they made different decisions, we'd have an entirely different story. And if you want an entirely different story, maybe this one isn't for you. To me, this one is about navigating prejudice, expectations, difficult relationships and feelings. It's about what happens /after/ you confess and all the challenges you may face.

Disregard for my time

Starts interesting, but quickly drops the ball.
Absolutely nothing happens on most episodes. One after the other you feel like you've watched the same episode all over again.
Too many times I felt like the show did not respect my time, and was just forcing itself to fill the 55 minutes of screen time.
It doesn't make any sense that the ML and the FL feel attracted to each other. Other than the first episode, all they do is exist in the same room. They don't do things that are attractive, don't demonstrate affection, no nothing. It's only because it's on the script really.

Would I recommend this? If you're a sucker for romance, want some eye-candy (Jung Hae-in), a realistic storyline and don't mind slow paced dramas, Yes.

One spring night starts off really well. Episode 1 is everything you would want a drama to be and more. As it progresses though, watching it sadly becomes somewhat tiresome. It just drags on and on and on and nothing really interesting happens. Of course there are some tension filled scenes but for the most part, its not all that gripping. But towards the end it picks up again thankfully.

At certain points it was also like 50% dialogue and 50% staring at each other, or the main characters would just be shown looking super sad by themselves. It makes sense though because the slow pace of the drama kinda makes it more realistic but then it's not exactly entertaining. As a result, the rewatch value for this drama is close 0. It took me about 2 months to watch the whole thing, that's how uninterested I was.

The acting was superb though. Everyone did phenomenally well so I don't think any of the actors/actresses could have done that much better to make it a bit less boring.

The music was really good but there were certain episodes where it felt like it was 50% drama and 50% music, that just makes you get sick of the music at times.

Overall I am satisfied with the way things panned out but I kinda wish the time spent showing Yoo Ji-ho and Lee Jeong-in being sad was used to explore other aspects e.g. the complicated and toxic relationship between Lee Seo-in and Nam Si-hoon and/or the fun loving dynamics between Lee Jae-in and Park Young-jae.
