Our Beloved Summer is a nice, light, and sweet romance with opposite-attracts leads who show believable personal development throughout the drama. I like watching Choi Woo Shik's acting, which is always on point. And even though one can anticipate what is going to happen, the whole drama is so feel good that it doesn't seem to matter too much. Scenes are filmed in an ethereal light (outside) or cozy warmth (inside), which contributes to the fuzzy feelings.

I was not a fan of the manager/bar owner story line at all but the second leads and other assorted characters grew on me, especially NJ.
