Summer Strike

Life is simple, we humans make it complicated. We are all running in rat race and at one point we all chase peace and calmness. Everything else seems irrelevant....this is exactly what SUMMER STRIKE is all about.

I found the series, characters extremely calm, a simple story which is so relatable and those cute kids, a pet dog makes it more adorable. The main Lead was a protagonist in Misaeng, another not to miss series. I was looking for his other dramas and then finally got to watch this one.

Definitely a worthy watching....12 episodes series available in Netflix. No reason to miss on this one.

This show is so adorable and heartwarming. It starts off with a somewhat cliche plot of a girl from a big city moving into a small town, but it does so very beautifully and detailed so that it didn't feel like anything else I've seen with that plot.

The romance isn't the only important relationship. The main character forms many wholesome relationships with many of the people in the town.

The characters are so authentic and I love how each one develops. Some are more evolutionary characters while others are dynamic or we just come to learn a different side of them.

This is my new comfort k-drama. It's so sweet and I learned so many life lessons. I want to see more of the characters and I honestly think that there was plenty of substance to carry on the show a bit longer. I'm a sucker for short shows, so I usually never say that, but I wish we got a little bit more.

An exploited Seoul office worker played by Seolhyun faces a crisis when her boyfriend breaks up with her and her mother dies in a tragic accident. She decides to give up Seoul life and travel, on her travels she comes to a small coastal village with an underused library where she decides to stay and do nothing for a year. The librarian is played by Im Si-wan who is a maths genius but hides away from the world due to a tragic family incident. Both the main leads are shy introverted characters so the romance side is very slow burning but amusing to watch. There are great characters particularly Bom, who is played by Shin Eun soo and some interesting side stories which look at the things in life which money cannot buy. It is based on a webtoon and is beautiful story which is gently told.

It tells a very precious story about human emotions, friendship, loyalty, love and how important it is to create a family with people that you care about and that cares for you. Not always blood is what's important, family is chosen.

You will be left with a valuable lesson about how not everyone in this life is destined to follow what society has prepared for us.

We live in an extremely shallow and materialistic society where the aim of most people is to get as much money and highest status possible, sacrificing very important things like time, self care and sometimes even family and loved ones.

This drama will show you how we can live with only the bare minimum necessities and be immensely happier that way.

Some say that romance is a bit lacking and slow burn but I don't agree, from the very beginning there's an amazing chemistry and attraction between the two leads and you will find yourself smiling and watching them awkwardly flirt with each other, such innocent and genuine love story.

The series has also a very well paced suspense plot that will keep you super hooked and will shock you at end. Nothing is predictable at all.

This drama was a very pleasant surprise, it's very well written and its a wholesome and all rounded watch.

I really enjoyed this drama. Who has never dreamed of leaving the soulless life in a big city behind and escape to the countryside and do nothing? I love seeing how the friendship develop between the female lead and people in her new town but in my opinion don't think the huge shock late in the show was necessary for the storyline. The protagonists already have a sufficiently tough life as it is and I personally don't think we needed a tragedy of such magnitude for the show to demonstrate how they survive adversity and overcome yet another hurdle. Plus it takes away time and focus from the romance, which I like even though it was very timid and of a very slow pace. The ending is fortunately not overly dramatic but believable and uplifting. In retrospect, the story only lasted the short time of a summer in our characters' lives but we are happy they found each other and came out strong, ready for the future, together.
