Test of Friendship
Spring Waltz dances around childhood memories, love, a sentiment with a ballad all their own. The storyline is cliche, but it is through the characters' struggles and development we find attachment. All around, it is a sweet story that might have benefited from 16 episodes instead of dragging out to 20 episodes. The bland and tiresome plot hampers the actors' skills significantly. A person into slow-paced dramas it is well worth your time to watch when you have nothing else to do and watch.
Koreans and Japanese do a marvelous job encompassing a scene through the sound of music. In regards to the soundtrack, it is one of the most memorable and captivating musical pieces I have listened to in K-Drama history. Every time I hear the humming of "La La La" and the music starts to play, I get all jittery with the feelings of lost friendship finding its way back. Every time I listen to the song "One Love" by Loveholic, happy and sad memories stir my emotions like a warm breezy spring day.
It is a melodrama with breathtaking cinematography and beautiful locations shot in Hallstatt and Salzburg, Austria, and Cheongsando island. It was the final installment to Director Yoon Seok Ho's Endless Love series, in my belief, the second-best season out of the four Endless Love series.
The relatively unknown actors Seo Do Young, Han Hyo Joo, and Daniel Henney were one the reasons why the show worked to its advantage. It was the first time I viewed Han Hyo Joo in anything. It was such a treat as I followed her ever since this drama aired. Daniel Henney's character is somebody I would want to be friends with if a scenario like that ever occurred in my life. Seo Do Young's character is difficult to execute because of the sentimental story of the frustration and pain welling up inside his closed heart. The lack of acting experience the lead actors possess shows, but it did not diminish the quality of the show.
On that note, I have seen this seven times since it aired as it is my go-to Romantic Drama in times of stress. The show's audience might be limited in scope, but people might take the opportunity to go on this unforgettable journey. Maybe watch it towards the backend of Winter and the beginning of Spring. Spring has a floral aroma that flaunts itself in familiar places.
My Final Rating: 8.41/10
My, rewatch value is eight because I have seen this too many times, except I can watch many times and not get bored.
