Heartbreaking and worthwhile

Since you know from the first moment that the story (and the synopsis) Seasons of Blossom is a look back at the loss of someone (death) from six years prior, this drama gave me more of a poignant feel than a crushing sense of unexpected loss.The writers do an amazing job addressing regret and atonement. These two topics made for so much heartbreak and grief that as a viewer it is painful to watch... yet the way they film they scenes keeps the viewer from being too overwhelmed.By continually flipping from present to past, allows the viewer to focus on multiple "blooming" love stories and breaks up the sense of impending doom...The series reminded me a bit of The Sound Of Magic (and for that matter a lot of kdramas) in the sense that it deals with parental expectations and the burden they can become.So my take away is yes ... this is a tragic story and it is heart wrenching! BUT... since there has not been any "gotcha" moments of unexpectedness, I have not been crying my eyes out... even though my heart has been aching from the very first episode. So if you go into it with that in mind ... this is one the the most beautifully written dramas I have seen this year. The acting has also been some of the best (and most of them are young/ newer actors/ actresses).Coming from me who's first question is always ... does it have a happy ending?!?!? I have no regrets starting this drama. I can not wait to see more projects from all of these actors/ actresses!
