?Looking for a Masterpiece? Why You’ll Fall in Love With 'Our Beloved Summer'
Our Beloved Summer (10/10)
I've rewatched this drama 5 times. Back when it was airing, I watched it every week while waiting for each episode to drop. I don't know why I'm writing this now on my 5th rewatch, but I just wanted to do it.
I love this drama so much because every episode either makes me emotional or gives me butterflies in my chest. When an emotional scene comes up, the acting, the music choices, and the cinematography just hit different. I always bawl my eyes out, especially during episodes 1–7 when they have their misunderstandings. And the sweet moments always give me butterflies—I notice myself just smiling like an idiot at a love story that can't be mine.
The Characters & Dynamic
I love how different Choi Ung and Kook Yeon-soo are, but they're still attracted to each other like puzzle pieces made for one another.
The OSTs
I love all of the OSTs, but if I have to pick my top three, they would be:
V – "Christmas Tree"
BIBI – "Maybe If"
Lee Seung-yoon – "The Giving Tree"
Those top three always stick in my head, but I love all the other tracks too—like "Drawer" by 10cm, "There For You" by Kim Na-young, "Summer Rain" by Sam Kim, and "I Will Make You Happy" by Jang Beom-june.
The Documentary Style
I enjoyed the documentary aspect a lot. The thought of being a producer or a cameraman gives me a dream. I don't know why, but I've always liked creating content even though I feel like my mind isn't that creative. Holding a camera and capturing other people's lives and my own personal life seems like the most fun thing.
Even though I'm stuck in my room right now doing nothing, dropped out of college, unemployed, and not knowing what to do anymore—just sleeping, eating, and watching dramas—I just wish I could reset my life. Going back to the beginning and trying to be a producer or a cameraman would be enough. Maybe living in this country doesn't give you opportunities like that, or maybe I'm just not okay in the head. But it's just a dream I want to pursue. Maybe someday.
