At a Distance, Spring is Green 2021

Now that I've watched the series, I somewhat agree with the popular opinion about this series: lost potential.

I thouroughly enjoyed the course of 12 episodes; there was drama, acting was superb, OST was good, most characters were very well fleshed and lastly, I loved how by the last episode, all of them had built a good dynamic. Knowing about the original story, the drama had noticeable differences (like, making the drama a straight story which it originally wasn't, misleading hints about Soo-hyun's possible crush on somebody, and many more). There were key incidents and characters which could have been utilised to improve the storyline; though it didn't take away from the enjoyment.

For me, this was the kind of drama I could just go in and find myself hooked despite the tropes being used multiple times. I think it was because the other aspects of scenes make it worth watching, no matter how many times. Giving basis to the fabulous chemistry between you-know-who and you-know-who would have made this drama a definite 9.0+ for me. I do agree though, given the MC Jun, “At a Distance, Spring is Green” sure was a healing drama.

This is a drama that nobody should miss, and serves its purpose well. But I guess, don't place your expectations too high.

Good story ! Bad Acting

If you are here for BL vibes don't look away !! If you are skipping thinking this is a BL don't!!!

The story is about three troubled individuals with different that come together overcome their traumas and the present hurdles.

The acting in the show has been very sub-par. I have seen the main trio cast recently in three different shows

Park Ji Hoon as Yeo Joon brings the same vibe as his character in Love Revolution and always trying to be too cute or cry .Slowly this has gotten to my nerves and i couldn't enjoy the show in the fag end. I think the actor made the character worse with his acting style

Bae In-Hyuk as Nam Soo-Hyun is as expressionless as I have seen him in My Roommate is a Gumiho ; although this suits for the cold character he played initially but you wouldn't notice any difference in his expression.

Kang Min-Ah (True Beauty) is the best of the trio in terms of acting but her character is so under utilized that she almost feels like a 3rd wheel between Yeo Joon and Soo-Hyun ; might as well as shipped her with the first love.

The have introduced two other girls as roommates and tried to force couple them but decided against it in the end ; so don't expect many happy endings

In the end it depends on what you are looking from the show. They should have drawn a clear line b/w bromance and BL but the blurry lines make the drama little displeasing ; I would have been fine with either but not the cat on the wall. Half way through the show I was contemplating to drop but I managed to finish it with a lot more skip button by the end. A better cast and a resolute story writing could have made it a good show.
