It’s another disappointment in terms of ratings for tvN in the Mon-Tues time slot, after Doom at Your Service now You Are My Spring is underperforming in terms of rating and critical feedback though the reasons differ. While Doom was a vacuous pretentious nothing burger, Spring comes across like there is too much going on under the surface and yet the drama writing isn’t managing to convey it properly. It was always an ambitious take of combining light healing drama with stalker suspense/serial killer echoes When the Camellia Blooms which by all majority accounts did it well hence the high ratings and critical acclaim. I’m three episodes in and Spring confuses me but I’m still intrigued but not enough to have the urge to quickly watch the next episode. There is a lack of “grab” if you may, despite the fantastic acting of leads Kim Dong Wook and Seo Hyun Jin, their lovely chemistry, and the fantastic moody and artistic directing. Much like Doom, I think the biggest weakness is yet again the script which resides solely with the screenwriter. The drama premiered to 3.390% and now through episode 8 it dropped to the lowest yet with 1.989% which is below 2%. Perhaps the screenwriter has an amazing complete and cohesive drama up her sleeve but I don’t think viewers are sticking around for the landing. Much like a joke with too long of a windup, even the most epic punch line loses its effect.

Such a great comparison about long winded jokes and punchlines having no effect.
I tried this drama for a couple of episodes and yea, the script is the issue definitely. The direction is okay - maybe a bit too whimsical for its theme - and the acting is great. But the script is a bit of a mess. Not even SHJ is enough to make me watch this.
I didn't even know this had started yet. Alot of these kdramas are just blending together from me, can't tell them apart because nothing about them in particular stands out. just BLAH.
Nothing to watch these days it seems, alot of these recent k dramas are not my cup of tea at all, let's just hope with a lot the big guns involved in atleast a drama we'll have something to watch.
Upcoming dramas I mean
I would have watch if the male lead is handsome
They should find better looking male second too
I'm watching it still although I'm still disappointed this was not what the posters sold. The 4 leads acting is great and cinematography is even better. One of the things I don't like and also didn't like in Run On is that most scenes with the two leads are with both sitting or he clearly is standing on something to look taller...what's wrong with a couple being the same height or him being shorter?
I did not notice this before but now I think of Run On you are right skskssksksk
wow amazing i like
This is one of the few shows I'm watching right now and I'm enjoying it. I don't care much about the murder mystery but other than that the cinematography is beautiful, the dialogues meaningful, the chemistry is great and the supporting casts are all fun to watch. This drama does a good job at balancing out the dark, emotional scenes with light, fun, quirky moments. Some scenes are so hilarious you'll find yourself rewatching. Ratings could be better but perhaps being a Mon/Tue drama as well as most people watching on Netflix (it's top 1 ATM and has been top 1/2). I think it might be a little slow for some and it didn't grab the audience within the first few episodes but if you stick around it does get better. If anything it's just nice and refreshing to watch two mature adults in their 30s navigate their developing relationship and deal with life issues like real adults.
Tvn hasn't been having much luck in their M/T slot since last year. Awaken and LUCA had okay ratings but mostly everything has been between 1-3% ratings. JTBC has cancelled their M/T timeslot for the same reason of poor ratings.
I was watching it for SHJ but ended up liking the second female lead more. It definitely is the writer's problem. I am now thinking of dropping it because I got bored while watching it. It's a huge disappointment for me because I also like both male leads.
It's not like Doom which I immediately drop at episode one. But there's something lacking and I blame both the PD and the writer.
I loved this so much! The couple has a great chemistry with honest and sincere conversations, there are so many funny moments too. The supporting roles bring a lot of of fun too. The mystery is pretty well mixed with the main story. It doesn't take too much place but keeps us intrigued. Im Dong-Wook is so charming in this role and Seo Hyun-Jin suits this kind of role. It's one of my favourite airing drama with Racket Boys.
