Lee Hong-joo (Kim So-hyun) and Kang Hu-Young (Chae Jong Hyeop) were classmates who's lives inter crossed even though Hu-Young was a maths genius and Hong-Joo was a little scatterbrained. Years later they meet up and through circumstances they end up in each others company and over time they rekindle the bond they had and slowly it develops to be deeper. It is only eight episodes and the series offers little but a gentle easy going drama. What makes it worth watching are the two leads, the flash back sequences to when they were at school and an excellent supporting cast. If you want a short fluffy romance then this hits the target.

Korean Drama '' Serendipity's Embrace '' is a romantic melodrama.

The drama presents the current storyline, with what has happened in the past slowly being unfolded as the story progresses. That way, the drama got nostalgic and also kept the interest high, as the main story was more or less predictable.

The romance, in addition, was sweet and was nicely paced, though, in the final episodes, things got weaker.

Still, the side couple kept things interesting when the main one got boring.

On the other hand, the performances were all enjoyable.

So, overall, six out of ten. For serendipity's embrace.

This drama is super good. I think because of this, perhaps, I'll be very hopeful? If I could see my first love after 10 years? It relates to what I have experienced though. Haha, anyway this drama is cute, portraying coincidences and fate, it's cool, its funny how the characters act on their respective roles.

Unrequited Love can be learned only if you'd confess. Everyone also has different hurting points to the point that leaving someone without saying goodbye is very heartbreaking. I would recommend others to watch this. It's a perfect 10 rating for me since my favorite cast is in this drama.

This show is for the sweet tooth! It is light and enjoyable, much like savoring a piece of candy, filled with familiar Korean drama tropes for romantic comedies, like high school connection, friends to lovers, tight knit friends. It is binge-worthy with only eight episodes and a dessert for the eyes and heart.

This show has a straightforward, uplifting style. It avoids the usual, multi-episode, drawn out misunderstandings. It is filled with feel-good content, minus the miscommunication melodrama. If you're looking for something short and sweet, without much angst, this is for you.

It is even better if you already adore the actors. Don't expect anything groundbreaking. This series is ideal for an easy, enjoyable watch.

Okay, I have to be honest-Chae Jong-hyeop is great, and I found him quite charming in Eye Love You, but that is because he's not playing a character who keeps a stone face 90% of the time. His usual charm just feels muted in Serendipity's Embrace, and it's a little frustrating because I know he can do better.

As for Kim So-hyun, she's one of my favorites, so I was really rooting for this pairing. But... I just couldn't feel the chemistry between them in this drama. Individually, they're solid actors, but together? Something just felt off. The emotional pull that should have made this romance captivating never quite landed for me.
