Summer is nearly here, which means you get the yearly permission to relax and make the most of the warm days ahead. It is also the perfect time to chill with your favorite K-dramas. Summer is often a metaphor for nostalgia, the first brush of love, a time to rekindle a long-forgotten romance, or even start afresh.
Here are four K-dramas and movies which celebrate summer in its many shades and even have summer in their titles. Choi Woong ( Choi Woo Shik ) and Guk Yeon Soo ( Kim Da Mi ) have no idea that the documentary they had filmed way back in high school would become something of a cult a decade later. The two had become close during the course of filming and even started a relationship which lasted five years.
Now having gone their separate ways, they have not been unable to move on, despite staying clear of each other. Given the popular demand from viewers wanting to know how life panned out for the two high school students, the producers of the documentary cajole Woong and Yeon Soo to face the camera once again. It is a task in itself, since there seems to be a lot of animosity between the two, but they decide to go along with it.
As old feelings resurface, there are a whole lot of regrets and unresolved issues. “Our Beloved Summer” served as a sweet spot. The slice-of-life romantic narrative evocatively brought out how love is something that needs to be worked on beyond the romantic rose-tinted glasses.
Communication is key, as well as how partners need to care for.
