The Hindu ‘Our Beloved Summer’ review: Like a languid, feel-good breeze - "There’s something very endearing, and yet heartbreakingly familiar about the lead couple in the visually-pleasing Our Beloved Summer. It takes quite a delicate balance to make a K-Drama like this one click; one which follows characters that aren’t always perfect, but who are, in equal parts, sweet and frustrating."

Tangential FYI in case anyone is confused in the same manner I was:
The phrase "The Hindu 'Our Beloved Summer' Review" does not mean that Our Beloved Summer is a Hindu film. It instead refers to a review for the film which appeared in a newspaper that was itself called "The Hindu".

Ha, oops. The site names for kdrama reviews run such a gamut of traditional news-ish sites and kdrama-fan-puns, it didn't register as odd. I was just happy they hadn't disabled the right-click like some of the kdrama review sites do.

I also watched and I thought it was lovely. There were so many scenes that I rewatched because they were so perfectly filmed and framed: the kiss in the rain, Yeon Soo tossing the cherry blossoms, the change to black & white in the exhibit hall. I especially loved the staging of Woong’s living room with its large window and trailing plants as a backdrop. The pacing was deliberately slow and some of the music (Christmas Tree, for example) worked like a lullaby for me and my eyes sometimes drooped shut but it wasn’t because I was bored. This is a show that I’ll enjoy rewatching.

Loosely based on true/real documentary from 2015 which had zero romance. You can watch it on YouTube. Looking at these screenshots, the low ranking student's drawing was very good.

I wish the YouTube documentary had English subtitles, but even just watching a few minutes without any translation it looks adorkable.

I enjoyed this one, just the right mix of angst & sweetness. The leads looked both believably teenaged in the flashbacks and adult in the present, and the OST featuring music by BTS was lovely.
