This is the only drama I repeated watching immediately after finishing the whole series.
I first chose this drama because of Park Min Young & Seo Kang Joon. PMY first attracted me in Sungkyunkwan Scandal. Since, I have watched most of her dramas. SKJ was so adorable in the Cunning Single Lady. After feeling disappointed by the drama ‘The Third Charm’, I was really excited to find him as the male lead actor in When Weather is Fine.
In fact, the first episode was too slow for me. If it were not PMY & SKJ, I would have given up (I had even hanged on to The Third Charm for 4 episodes before letting go). Interestingly, as the story unfolded, I found myself deeply attracted to the screenplay, production and acting. In addition, the OSTs are so beautiful. I later delightedly learned that all singers/artists are my favourites.
Initially, I had stopped when each episode ended and missed the Bookstore Diary (may be called something else as I watched this drama in another language) that followed. This note further expressed the thoughts in the mind of Im Eun Sub and helped to understand why he acted in certain ways.
Both have played the characters so well; PMY displayed her anger and frustration quickly while SKJ was reserved with intense eye expression.
The whole production team is commendable. The Director, Screenwriter, music composers and, of course, the cast should be given awards in 2020.
It is ashamed that the viewer ratings were low in Korea.
