"Our Beloved Summer" is a South Korean drama wherein the story revolves around a former couple who are forced to be together again when a documentary they shot in high school goes viral.
It is starring...
Choi Woo-shik as Choi Ung -a free-spirited building illustrator more known by the name "Go-oh", and placed in the last rank in high school
Kim Da-mi as Kook Yeon-soo - a PR expert, and a top student in high school
Kim Sung-cheol as Kim Ji-ung - Choi Ung's best friend and a producer in charge of producing the documentary, and Kook Yeon-Soo is his crush since high school
It premiered on SBS TV last year, 2021. And it is also available for streaming on Netflix. To have more idea of how good this kdrama is, you can watch the trailer...
I just finished watching this last Tuesday, July 26.
In my personal opinion about this kdrama as a viewer, I had a high expectation of this because it is one of the most famous kdrama last 2021. It was aired along with my other favorite, Twenty Five Twenty One. At those times that the two were airing at the same time, it was our second semester and I only chose to only watch Twenty Five Twenty One, because I just think that I don't have much time to watch 2 kdramas at the same time. Viewers who watched both at the same time kept on saying na lumilipat daw sila sa panonood ng "Our Beloved Summer" pag nas-stress sila sa "Twenty Five Twenty One", and when I finally got to watch "Our Beloved Summer", I have finally understood what they meant. Hahaha.
Anyways, was my high expectation met when I watched "Our Beloved Summer"? Yes, it was.
The reviews about it are really true. The cinematography is great. The settings are amazing! Very youthful, calm, and peaceful. Although it was a kinda cliche romance story, it is still good because of how the story goes and how it is also being shown.
The chemistry between the two main characters is just insanely good! Kim Da-mi and Choi Woo-shik gave justice to their characters indeed! ❤️
When it comes to OSTs (Official Soundtracks), they didn't disappoint at all, because almost all of the OSTs are amazing! One of my favorites is this "Christmas Tree" by V of BTS.
I also hella LOVE the house of Choi Ung here! The industrial interior design! The exposed unfinished cement, wood furnishes, huge glass windows, landscapes around his house, etc. Ugh! 😍
Also as an architecture student, I admire Choi Ung here so much because of his immense talent, disciplined, and consistency in drawing buildings. Sana all. He's probably one of my favorite character in kdrama because of that. Hihi.
Closing Thought
I rated this kdrama a 10/10!
Highly recommend this to everyone who wanna watch something that isn't stressful that much, and wants to feel kilig. 😊
