A Slow-Burn Healing Romance That’s Cozy… Until It Isn’t
"The weather was fine. The pacing? Absolutely not." 🥶
When the Weather Is Fine: 5/10 – A Beautifully Shot Emotional Fridge With the Energy of an Expired Snowflake
✨ THE GOOD:
Park Min-young & Seo Kang-joon – Talented, pretty, and tragically trapped in a plot coma.
Cozy vibes & snowy views – Honestly? The town had more chemistry than the leads.
Supporting cast? Decent! But even they looked like they wanted to escape the script.
💤 THE “SOMEBODY PLOT SOMETHING” MOMENTS:
Nothing. Ever. Happens. 16 episodes of waiting for someone to say more than 3 words per scene.
Emotional constipation – Everyone’s sad, but nobody explains why for 12 episodes.
Potential wasted – Great cast, gorgeous setting, and yet… this thing never leaves neutral.
🫠THE “JUST BLINK IF YOU CARE” FACTOR:
Romance? Under a blanket. With no heat.
Drama? Passive-aggressive snowfall.
The only spark was the match I almost lit under the remote.
🎯 VERDICT:
"Like staring at a snow globe for 16 hours—pretty, quiet, and emotionally numbing after minute 5."
Watch if: You love mood pieces, minimal dialogue, and nothing happening at glacial speed.
Skip if: You want romance, pacing, or literally anything resembling a pulse.
Best paired with: 🧊 A cup of cold tea, a heavy sigh, and a friend to complain to after every episode.
