This Korean series is just excellent, on all points.
Whether it is the shots, the music, the duration of a discussion to make us feel a specific emotion and immerse ourselves inside the scene, the themes addressed ( This is the first time that I see a series that introduces the LGBT theme as well and naturally ).
Everything was so natural and so well developed, until the very end the series was excellent.
It taught me a lot about life, its meaning, the love of a father, of his family, love for the one we love, the sense of friendship, the image we likewise, revenge, and the importance of our own principles.
I come away with a lot of motivation for my future projects, which is why, for me, this series is excellent, since not only did I have a great time watching each episode with such emotions and I come away growing up.
Thanks, IC!
This TV Show was AWESOME.
Not just your average revenge drama, Itaewon Class has a super diverse set of characters and manages to do each. one. of. them. justice while also delivering a properly satisfying ending. Tackles racism, transphobia & corporate greed among other things and idk this is defo my most favorite Park Seo Joon drama yet. FOR REAL. A socially inept character, autistic-coded, who’s the cutest cinnabon ever? I’m in LOVE. Oh, and Kim Da Mi?? Ahh-mazing. Gotta love how the classic villain types still managed to surprise AND we also got the real grey-shaded ones. Everyone reaped what they sowed and this is one drama I 10/10 would recommend.
Locking forward to this. 2020 Dramas We are ready :grinning::ok_hand:
The ultime search of sweetness in the bitterness that is life whilst providing perspective on the beauty of ordinary days.
Keywords:
Youth, ambition, loss, bullying, racism, discrimination, friendship, hardship, love triangles. How seemingly small decisions can change your life forever.
Sidenote:
Rooftops are essential for ultimate happiness.
This is a must watch. The diversity of the characters is a much need breath of fresh air. Hopefully this is the start of something bigger!
I really think some people don't understand the history behind the "history" that are watching at all. Many people 'see', but not 'observe'.
This series have a lot of connotations, such politics and social, from a showdown with a dictator; unto to release of real feelings. Almost all characters have a full evolution of her personality... even Naga hahaha.
At first I agree looks like a little child's series, but think is a masterpiece in all respects. I recommend this series to all public, seen or not any other series of the Avatar's universe.
PS. James Cameron's 'Avatar' not included. xD

This is the best drama I've seen in awhile with a great OST to boot.
Quite slow, uneventful and repetitive. Also, very predictable. I feel like this story would have worked better as a movie.
One of the most beautiful, brilliant, and poignant dramas I've ever watched. I'm crying as I write this.
One of my all time favorite Korean drama, I absolutely love the feeling it gave me and it has an awesome ost too.
Absolutely great anime!
Every episode makes you wanting for more.
I watched the whole 1st season in 3 days!
This is with no doubt the best anime I've ever watched...But to be honest I've only watched S.A.O and A.o.T.
A beautiful, minimalist love story. One Spring Night (OSN) tells a tale of two people who fell in love despite the whole world telling them not to. They tugged at my heartstrings with their beautiful relationship that not only had to bear the weight of internal struggles but also had to face the societal pressures that came along with being Korean.
First and foremost, let me just get this out off the way; I have been in the mood for slow-romance and I appreciate the one without the usual K-Drama Troupes ; like Memory Loss , Unreasonable Breakups , Misunderstanding and Jealous-Evil Second Leads ; and OSN fits perfectly in this category
One Spring Night is a take on modern Korea where the youth have to face the older generation, but not with guns or lawsuits, it's all about dialogue.
It's as much a social drama as it is a romance story, so please go into it keeping that in mind. The cultural differences will make some decisions hard to understand but all of them make perfect sense, regardless. Jeong In and Ji Ho's slow burn romance coupled with extremely lovable side characters, realistic and fleshed out "antagonists" (though I'm not sure if I want to call them that because they weren't inherently evil, just handicapped by their circumstances, upbringing and morals).
All in all, OSN offers what most dramas tend to lack these days: authenticity. It makes you feel like you're there with the characters and you grow fond of them.
One Spring Night is (once again) about growth, and I believe that the best score you can give to a drama is "I want to watch whatever this writer and director are doing next". Well, this drama is not perfect. It has its problems but that's what growth is. It's not a straight line to success and that you won't get annoying sometimes. But the acting, damn, the acting.....
I don't like to compare performances because I like to believe that actors can't only do so much if the script isn't good. But what an amazing performance by everyone.
Jung Hae-In and Han Ji Min were both superb in their roles as the couple deeply in love despite their 'flaws'. Their chemistry was electrifying, similar to Jung Hae-In's performance with Chase Soo-bin in "A Piece of Your Mind"
That's not to say that the side characters weren't also quintessential to the story. Unlike many of the other dramas, the side characters in OSN are seamlessly natural in their performance and appropriately impactful on the main characters. They aren't caricatures or plot devices used to fuel the story, but rather, they have their own lives and accompanying struggles.
The FL’s sisters were also great and their acting really conveyed how their characters were shaped by their shared upbringing. The mother is not a saint ; although she is from the old generation she understood and stood by her children.
If there are two people I would hate it would be the Father (Tae-hak) ; greedy old guard with self-interest and the wife-beater Nam Shi-Hoon ; these kind of men are a disgrace to Manhood . Ki-Seok is an acceptable character who just destroyed himself due to pride and not love.
The music in OSN was also flawless and appropriate to the story. It boasts the ensemble of Rachael Yamagata as well as a song from Oscar Dunbar and Carla Bruni. These songs aren't just great for their addictive repetitions on your phone, but they seamlessly blend into the settings of OSN. One song in particular, Spring Waltz by Carla Bruni. My lord, that song was perfect for OSN and an absolute delight to listen to. Even if you don't watch this drama, which I highly doubt by now given how much you must've read of this review by now, you should google that song and play it on repeat.
Overall, OSN has ranked definitively in my favorite Korean dramas of all time. It's needless to say at this point in the review, but the casting choices, music and directing styles were all impeccable. OSN showcases a captivating love from one to another with endearing characters from varying social backgrounds. It's truly a romance that will keep you engaged in the show from all their ups and down. There is this faith between the main characters that persists throughout the show, and it's a faith I have for the romantic dramas to come from director Ahn Pan-seok and writer Kim Eun
When I started it i thought it had 32 Episodes and I wasn't rushing through to continues which helped me to enjoy it more. Binge watch it, watch two episodes a week, whatever works for you. If possible, watch it on a Spring Night with your partner.
My absolute favourite anime. Watch it now if you haven't already.
I really liked the drama. I found it realistic and important for life learning. It's a bit slow, but since the first episode it gives ideas on the topics to be developed along the way. I like it because it's not the typical someone evil and someone good, it's about human beings trying to be the best of what they think it is the best.
I found myself reflected on some of the characters. It also made me think about decisions made and the arguments one uses to make a decision and/or to defend what one thinks is right.
