TOXIC AT ITS MOST
Many people are going to disagree with me but this show is SO overrated just because the casts are famous people. If this show were to casts unknown actors and actresses it wont go far.First of, i hated the FL. Her character and personality in thr drama was too much for me. But then again, this is only my personal opinion. I read the review and ALMOST ALL the reviews said this was a good drama but when i watched it, i felt like i was watching a totally different drama. The FL annoyed me in every single episodes and their relationship, was HIGHKEY toxic. She was too dominant was him and he, was weak.
They kept breaking up OVER SMALL THINGS and then make up. If that aint red flag i don’t know what is. Overall, i did not enjoy this drama. Don’t get me wrong, i love both actors but i just did not see what the hybe is about.

Just Beautiful
Our Beloved Summer was one of the first K-Dramas I ever watched, I didn’t know anything about the actors or story at the time, so I didn’t have any set expectations when I started. And it remains one of my favorite comfort K-Dramas, even with the twenty I’ve watched since.Opinions about this show seem to be quite polarized, and I’m glad I watched it before reading all the negative reviews that might’ve scared me off. People love it or hate it, and I’m certainly one of the former.
The story spans over quite a bit of time and I thoroughly enjoyed both the flashback sections of the show and what's happening in modern day. The structure allowed for some beautiful parallel scenes too.
While I love this show, I do understand why some people don’t, it’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea. The story and relationship progression are both slow, so if you hate slow dramas, you’re most likely not going to like this one. But even with the slow progression, I was never bored.
Our main couple, Choi Ung (played by Choi Woo-Shik) and Kook Yeon-Soo (played by Kim Da-mi) were both perfectly cast. They made both hilarious rivals in the beginning and an awkwardly sweet couple later on. I thoroughly enjoyed all of their different dynamics.
I’ve seen several people bashing Yeon-Soo as a character, and while I will say initially, I didn’t find her very likeable, as the story progressed and her character developed, she won me over. I did like Ung from the beginning though, but as fellow sleep deprived artist I may be a little biased.
Honestly, I’m not usually a fan of second chance romances but this one got me. Through swapping between the current day and flashbacks of when the characters were previously together, it becomes quite clear why they didn’t initially work. But unlike many second chance romances, this one is able to take the reasons they didn’t work then and through a ton of character development, show why they do now. And they do work beautifully.
While much of the character development is shown through the lenes of a relationship, much of it is deeply individual. Ung and Yeon-Soo go from somewhat miserable individuals, both wallowing in their struggles, to two people who are able to make the best of their lives. And it was done beautifully.
Besides our main couple, there is a side romance with their friends, I found this to be the least interesting part of the show, ultimately though, it didn’t dampen my overall enjoyment.
I don’t fully know how to describe the overall tone, but mellow might be a good word.
Everything that I liked about the show was amplified by the OST. There isn’t a single miss in the soundtrack. The music helped set the mood phenomenally, and I’ve listened to it so many times that four of my top five most listened to songs in 2023 were from this soundtrack. It’s without a doubt my favorite K-Drama OST ever.
There’s so much more I could talk about in this review that I loved, from all the side characters to the family dynamics and beautiful cinematography, but this review is already long enough. So, I’ll leave it here.
Our Beloved Summer is a beautifully thought-provoking show, that made me laugh, cry, and reevaluate my life. Go give it a shot.

Yes, totally worth it..
I kept seeing this drama recommendation by everybody… so decided to check it out.It lived to the hype… caught me since ep1.
Their relationship is so natural, and both charismatic in their way.
Ung is so cool, relaxed… life pass in front of him without any hinder, Thats how he appears to be… except for her.
Yeon Soo is so relatable… excellent student, struggling to become excellent professional… she is accomplished and responsible, tough on the outside, but so soft inside, constantly faking her personality so no one can see how vulnerable she really is,.. not even Ung.
The break up scene was so horrible, detached, I hated her but later understood life was too much… and she underestimated her feelings for Ung, and eventually regretted pushing him away.
That happens so often in real life…. People simply makes mistakes because they take others for granted.. like YS did…
These 2 persons get together through a documentary film in high school…. Which lead them to become a couple.
Life happens and Yeon Soo broke up with no real explanation, leaving Ung heart broken and confused.
I spent 12 episodes crossing my fingers for them to get back together…. Both were miserable apart, but stubborn to get back together…. However, when they finally did, it was a bit anticlimactic… but ey… at least we had 4 episodes of them together.
I loved that both evolved in their own way… and once back together, they learned from the past and try to be better for each other, not taking their love for granted like they did in the past.
This is one of the dramas with much better development Inhad seeen so far….
Their relationship is very real, normal… they complement each other so good, there is no mistake… they belong together.
The onky annoying character was the friend /2ML… the producer…. Somehow he did not win my simpathy, even with his sad story.
Everybody else are adorable.
Do I recommend this serie? Absolutely Yes
Would I watch it again? I think Yes
Would I love a second season….. absolutely yes!

Hay un millón de pequeñas razones por las cuales me enamoré de este drama. Incluso si intentara enlistarlas, no le haría justicia.
Este no es sólo el relato de dos corazones rotos reencontrándose, es sobre el proceso de madurar, los errores cometidos, los traumas sin sanar, las segundas oportunidades, y la familia y amigos que te acompañan en el camino.
Los elementos de la narración –diálogos, música, colores, actuación, paisajes, etc.– crean una experiencia tan amena. Aun en los momentos de dolor y tristeza, me sentía reconfortada.
Siempre mantendré la calidez que Our Beloved Summer me regaló en un lugar muy especial y recordaré con gran cariño el amor de dos jóvenes personas que inicio como enemistad.

É lindo!!
Tem uma bela fotografia, uma ost maravilhosa e a atuação nota mil.O drama mostrou os desequilíbrios no relacionamento, a forma como a falta de comunicação deixa feridas e também como o amor pode durar.
Yeon Su e Choi Ung eram colegas na escola e gravaram um documentário juntos sobre o melhor e o pior aluno, acontece que eles brigavam igual cão e gato porque ela quer focar e está sempre estudando enquanto ele está sempre de boas, sem ligar muito para as coisas. Mas com o decorrer das gravações ambos começam a ficar mais próximos e acaba nascendo um sentimento e consequentemente acabam namorando.
Agora Yeon Su trabalha num escritório e o Ung se tornou um desenhista(mas ninguém sabe sua identidade), eles já não estão mais juntos, ela terminou sem nem explicar o porquê, mas devido ao trabalho eles acabam se reencontrando e depois por causa de reviravoltas do destino estão novamente gravando uma nova temporada do documentário o que não foi nada fácil já que agora eles se "odiavam" ( no fundo a gente via o amor deles )
É um drama nada inovador, mas que deixa um quentinho no coração, a química deles me deixou ligada na história, as cenas de passado e presente sendo intercaladas ajudou a entender todas as alfinetadas que eles trocavam.
Gostei demais de acompanhar "Our Beloved Summer", foi bom ver o desenvolvimento da relação deles

Chemistry between leads and coming-of-age theme supported by mellow cinematography and soundtrack
The chemistry between the leads is the highlight of this show, which the plot helps develop by showing them at different points in their relationship at different ages. I loved how they developed the ML. The FL was developed too, but it seemed more like just breaking down her walls, whereas the ML found himself over time. The coming-of-age theme was supported well by the mellow cinematography and soundtrack.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
green flag
tbh... i've watched this drama many times but somehow i don't get bored while watching it, i'm sure buddy. i really like the acting of both of them, the main character Choi Wooshik (Choi Ung) and the main actress Kim Dami (Kook Yeon Soo). they are both very cool in acting, i won't lie about that, this drama is very inspiring for couples who have fallen out of love but both of them still have great love, i as a man really want traits and personality like the main character Choi Ung, he is like an angel for her beloved partner, i also study what he does, what Choi Ung does in this drama, and yea... as you know, the character Choi Ung in this drama is highly coveted by many women out there, they call it the word "green flag" LMAO.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

I should have loved this
I wanted to love this. When I came across it on Netflix right after watching Hometown Cha Cha Cha, I thought it would be the perfect substitute with similar vibes. I was wrong.I know Our Beloved Summer is a well-made drama. I can see it through the acting, structure, story and other characteristics. However, I couldn't help but feel disengaged by it. I wanted to fall in love with the story really badly, but I was left hanging. I don't really blame the drama, I think this is on me. To each their own.
I love Choi Woo-shik and he was really good in this.
But yeah, overall, I wish I had loved this like everybody else.

"People Crave for The Normal."
As a person who enjoys binging thriller dramas, this one is sure to have ended up in my dropped/fast forward list had I tried binging it.The very interesting discourses and comments regarding certain characters is what drove me to begin watching this drama. Slice of life dramas are not my forté. But, seeing such intense character analysis for a seemingly sunny drama was what made me curious.
Probably one of the most well loved dramas that premiered last year, "Our Beloved Summer" is the chronicles of Choi Ung and Kook Yeon Su, two vibrantly different personalities who are forcibly put together in high school to film a documentary. The Proximity Principle proved true and it's not long before their hateful relationship morphs into love. After a disastrously earth shaking break-up, they meet five years later. Now, grown up and absorbed in their own career paths, they are unexpectedly thrown together again. But, this time, both of them are determined to change for the better…
I suck at expressing emotions in general and have a penchant for accepting characters and the story as it is presented, hence watching this was personally a purely fun experience for me.
Be warned… the slice-of-life tag doesn't lie.
The story follows the ordinary lives of both Yeon Su and Choi Ung along with one major supporting character (Kim Ji Ung).
Sticking true to the tag, it's the characters who are the soul of the story. Though it began with almost little to no emotional attachment from my side, I slowly grew attached to them by episode 14. There is not much purposeful happening with the plot, so, if you are a fan of strictly plot driven stories, this drama isn't for you.
Kook Yeon-Su can sit together with Kat from 10 Things I Hate About You and I wouldn't bat an eyelid. Studious and meticulous in every aspect, she sets vigorous boundaries and rules to who or whatever crosses her path. Including Choi Ung. She has an almost aggressive reaction to everyone, trenchant and assertive with her words… which naturally makes her one of the most unlikeable students in her school.
I found her bravado tiring. But, the writers did a good job, taking time to explain her actions and errors.
Choi Ung is far from her strict good-girl regimen. He slacks off at class, is meek like a puppy and knows more social skills than Yeon Su. He understands what he has signed up for once he begins to date her. I loved how he was not driven by goals, but rather went with what his heart wanted.
The life outside their perfect bubble has an almost domino-like effect on them. These polar opposite duos had their own ways of expressing their emotions as a result. Yeon Su was more on the *tell* side of the sphere whereas Choi Ung was on the *show* side. They each await empathic responses to unasked questions. To me, this lack of understanding and failure to express themselves was the prime reason for their break up. Now, as adults, their tables have turned. They are much more aware of their mistakes and are ready to accept the error of their ways.
40% of the drama is seen partially through the eyes of the Documentary Producer, Kim Ji Ung, Choi Ung's best friend. He was a character whose presence was pivotal in understanding the leading ones. We see a deeper side of Choi Ung through him, his own personal troubles, his support and ear for Yeon Su, the rapport with his workplace colleagues… even Ung's manager and Sol - I were important.
NJ, an idol, felt really out of place. She was not annoying… but I didn't understand why there was so much time being invested in her story, which could literally be spliced out and kept as a different special episode. Her presence did incite major changes to certain characters, but I felt that the writers failed to portray her with more depth or importance. The main reason seems to be her lack of interaction with the major characters.
It's the actors who breathed life into the chara ters. They lived them. Even the minor ones. Choi Woo Shik was mind blowing in portraying the very insoucient Choi Ung. Rather than appearing lifeless and boring, he was vibrant and unique. Kim Da Mi had less internal monologues than Choi Ung, but the process of unwrapping her various layers was smoothly portrayed.
I didn't find the drama too funny, though. There were a few slapstick comedy scenes, but there was always a serious shadow in the background for more than half of the drama.
The soundtrack was overall pleasant to listen to with "Home" and "Christmas Tree" being my favorites along with the opening theme by Kim Hwan Hee.
It's a drama that I'm sure I'll probably never rewatch. But, sometimes you stumble upon a coin on the road and check it out.
As Mr. Park said to Ji Ung, people crave for the 'ordinary'. And so do I.

Reconfortante estar diante de um amor de verão (que vai durar bastante) <3
Pera que tô impactada ainda!!!!!!Eu amei tanto our beloved summer, como eu disse em algum episódio o amor deles é reconfortante demais de assistir, como a Yeon su disse em um ep "é muito bom estar em um relacionamento maduro" e foi isso que eles conquistaram separados durante um tempo e depois juntos. Eles cresceram. Além do amor deles que eu amei, foi a OST que ganhou TODO o meu coração. São músicas tão gostosas de se escutar, lendo, fazendo coisas dentro de casa, pra relaxar a mente, escutar pela manhã ao acordar. É simples delicioso e passa o conforto do drama e do casal sabe?
E falando do verão, apesar do calor o verão é conforto também e aconchego, a cenografia do drama a coisa mais linda, acompanhando as estações, as roupas, cenário, tudo, tudo. Só não gostei de: Os outros personagens digo na forma casal primeiramente, achei que pudessem ter sido mais desenvolvidos sabe? Eu esperei que fossem e senti falta. O ji ung pelo menos se resolveu com a mãe mas acabou me deixando chateada a relação dele de gostar de Yeon su e demorar tanto pra ele se livrar desse sentimento (eu sei que pra parar de gostar de alguém demora mas demorou muito pra mim) e eu queria TANTO ter visto ele com a Chae ran!
Eu amei o formato do drama, misturado junto com documentário, assistindo me lembrou muito lovestruck in the city que eu amei também.
Estou apaixonada pelo Woo shik e a Da Mi, uns fofos, uma química gostosa demais, atuação belíssima!
Foi um drama gostoso demais de assistir! 💛

Personagem injustiçado.
É obvio como os dois protagonistas mereciam e precisavam ficar juntos, eram perfeitos um para outro.A questão é a coitada da NJ, ela merecia um amor e poderia ter sido o Choi Woong.
NJ não merecia acabar triste e sofrida do jeito que acabou, ela precisava vencer no sentido amoroso e sentimental.
Estou publicando a resenha para angariar opinioes sobre a NJ, não posso ser a unica pessoa no mundo que acredita que ela deveria ter ficado com o Woong. O Jeito que ela estava lá quando o Woong precisava era extraordinario, sempre o apoiou e ajudou ele quando ele precisava. REPETINDO não sou contra o casal protagonista MAS ela seria um match perfeito pro Woong.

Muito mais que um clichê
As pessoas costumam dizer que clichês não ensinam nada, ou que são apenas histórias bobas para passar o tempo. Ok, não que isso não possa ser verdade, mas Our Beloved Summer é um exemplo para provar que enredos aparentemente clichês podem ensinar sim, e muito.Inicialmente, a história parece algo comum: dois ex-namorados que se odeiam, porém são obrigados a interagirem novamente, o que faz antigos sentimentos ressurgirem. Porém, o que mais surpreende em Our Beloved Summer é justamente seu roteiro, junto à ótima atuação do elenco e trilha sonora.
Em primeiro lugar, a trama apresentada em Our beloved summer é de muito fácil identificação. Por meio do cotidiano dos personagens, seus dilemas, peculiaridades, inseguranças e características, podemos de certa forma nos ver representados em vários momentos: seja na maneira de agir dos personagens perante a uma situação nova ou difícil, ou pequenas atitudes tomadas no dia a dia. O que estou querendo dizer é que Our Beloved Summer traz personagens muito humanos, que são construídos e desconstruídos ao longo da trama. Digo "desconstruídos" porque dificilmente vamos terminar essa história com a mesma visão de um personagem que tínhamos no início dela. O roteiro demonstra aos poucos as camadas de todos, o que torna um drama muito precioso de acompanhar.
Acho que não há um personagem que eu não tenha gostado nessa história. Gostei muito da forma que cada trajetória foi construída e quais reflexões foram trazidas por meio deles.
Outro ponto que me conquistou completamente nesse drama foram os recursos utilizados para contribuir na narrativa. Mesmo sendo uma comédia romântica, esse drama possui bastante monólogos. O roteiro é também muito metafórico, com alusões que apenas compreendemos percebendo todos os detalhes da história. Aqui em Our Beloved Summer foram contadas histórias a partir da comparação com um cachorrinho, chás de jujuba e pequenas ações. Histórias essas que nos fazem ter um entendimento maior sobre a trama e os personagens, e novamente, trazem aquela identificação ao qual citei anteriormente.
A ost desse drama é linda. Uma mistura de músicas animadas, românticas e melancólicas. De certa forma, algumas delas me trazem uma sensação de nostalgia. Na minha opinião, as músicas possuem uma bela sintonia com a história, e muitas passam totalmente o sentimento de saudade do "verão", de lembranças calorosas da nossa vida. Um exemplo disso é a própria música de abertura ,"Our Beloved Summer".
E não apenas o verão possui significado nessa história. Todas as estações do ano adentram na narrativa de forma metafórica, o que deixa tudo ainda mais bonito.
Com esse drama, refleti muito sobre o amor e a amizade. Sobre o amor romântico, amor pela família, amor por nossos amigos. Isso foi sendo construído em cada cena de Yeon Su com sua avó, Yeon Su com Sol-i, Choi Woong e Ji Woong juntos, Choi Woong e sua família.
Outra questão que achei adorável foram os nomes dos episódios, que diga-se de passagem, são nomes de filmes conhecidos. Eu achei isso tão genial e divertido. Eu até esperava ansiosa pra saber qual seria o nome do episódio.
Além disso, a mesclagem com o gênero documentário trouxe um diferencial para esse drama. Achei muito divertido - e ao mesmo tempo emocionante - como utilizaram isso para mostrar as vidas "reais" das pessoas. Assim como diz Ji Woong: "Não estou em um filme, mas sim em um documentário". Our Beloved Summer também é uma história sobre o cotidiano.
Enfim, por essas e outras razões difíceis de serem explicadas que considero Our Beloved Summer muito mais que um clichê. Esse drama entrega além da história divertida e apaixonante, um roteiro reflexivo sobre a solidão, as inseguranças e o amadurecimento.
