Gisangcheong Saramdeul: Sanaeyeonae Janhoksa Pyeon

Oh gosh I started watching this show and it was quite nice the first few episodes. But it ranks low on my list of shows to watch if you haven't . I found the script to be extremely trite. I found the casting quote annoying. The weather forecast as a device is an interesting and great idea. It's just unsatisfactory and feels inauthentic here!!

This is the first time I think Song Kang is playing such an upbeat and cheerful character, his character in this drama is like a breath of fresh air from all the other characters he played before.

Park Min-Young as always is fabulous and the queen of office romances.

(I was exhilarated to watch Ki-Jun (Yoon Park's character) being slapped. The whole scene was nicely written) The series has ended, and I have mixed emotions about it.

As an office romance drama, this show was just okay. It was a good attempt to relate weather and relationships, but a few times it got a little confusing to understand, and you will have to focus to know what they actually mean.

Song Kang has tried his best. But halfway through the show, his character lost its charm. His character that started out as cheerful and upbeat lost its impact a little, and more than a few times his acting reminded me of his character from Nevertheless.

I love Park Min-Young and as a fan, I will support her always because I know she has potential. But she does need to play a different character apart from an office worker as it's losing its spark and I know she can, so hoping to see her in a different role in the future.

The secondary leads played their part well and I have to admit in the end I did not hate them as much as I did at the start.

The ending is what we all anticipated.

I do have to confess though that throughout the show I was mesmerized by how fine Song Kang looked. I would watch the show just to look at Song Kang again.

Overall it's a good show, not the best but definitely at least a one-time watch.

Show is heart fluttering. It is new for me to see Park Min Young giving orders and not taking so this is refreshing. And what to talk about Song Kang, who is bad for heart, either toxic ( nevertheless ) or hopelessly romantic in this one.

I am liking this show. ❤

An interesting idea about a national weather service and the relationships of the staff within it. Each episode reflects on a type of weather phenomenon and translates that into the human interactions that mirror the weather. The main romance is between the director and a slightly younger but very smart junior, but other members of the team are also included. It is well acted and you will walk away from it more aware of the difficulties predicting the weather, but for me I was not really drawn into the overall story.

I think the reason so many people have given it poor ratings is because of the age difference between the male and female leads. The same thing happened with "We are breaking up". I think many ahjummas who watch K-drama cannot tolerate the fact that a 40 year old actress could play the role of a 32 year old who romances a hunk 10 years younger than her. If not for that fact I can't imagine why in the world anybody would give this brilliantly written, cast, directed and acted show anything less than a 9/10.

Park Min-Young is simply outstanding in every single scene, showing once again why she's the queen of comic timing. The ML also does a good job, but PMY outshines everybody else. The side stories about her sister's fumbling love life, and about her co-workers each of whom is going through their own struggle weaves a beautiful and heartwarming tapestry which is a delight to watch. Each episode is unpredictable and unlike many other Korean shows you want to keep watching until that last 16th episode even though you know whats going to happen for the most part.

It is not just the romance, the heartbreak and the drama which keeps you watching though. It is also the intricate details of weather forecasting which are ingeniously woven into each episode which are a delight to watch. Did I just say "delight to watch" twice? Yes, I did. That's because it is. I'm rarely left with such a good feeling after watching a show. Watch it and you will see what I mean 😊

My love for K-drama started with "What's wrong with Secretary Kim", was renewed by "Crash-landing into you" and continues to be deepened by lovely shows such as this one.
