I picked up Seasons of Blossom because of the ratings. I had no idea what this drama was going to be about and I will admit, within the first 15 minutes of watching the show, I wonder if it would be my jam. I usually like lighter dramas so when I realized the tone and feel of Seasons of Blossom would be a little more melo-drama, I went into it with trepidation.

To my surprise, I REALLY REALLY REALLY enjoyed this emotional roller coaster show. It made me feel a range of emotions.

I feel like this drama really redeemed So Ju Yeon from A love so Beautiful. She’s so tiny with a high-pitched voice, she doesn’t really scream leading FL role, but she completely nailed her character. The chemistry between her and Seo Ji Hoon was probably my favorite part of the drama. You really do feel for both characters and root for them to the very end. I would like to see him in a leading role not as a High School student.

Despite the melo-drama undertones, the saving grace of the show was the present day storyline between the 4 kids. I really enjoyed going back from light to heavy storyline. It just made it exciting to watch and you want every character to have their happy story.

The casting was really good, I’ve never seen the new kids act and they were very good at their roles. You have the two good looking students, the misfits side characters and the loner second ML you want to get the girl.

I really enjoyed the mature storyline / script. There was really no misunderstandings or stupid back-stabbing. It really was about caring about others, finding your first love and awkwardly surviving your high school years. It was VERY refreshing to watch a HS drama about these issues.

I loved both storylines equally, in regard towards the past and present timelines. I really ached and my heart moved watching the relationship between the two leads.

Overall, a beautiful story about that precious brief time of finding your first love, regardless if it’s lasting or not, it should be cherished and always remembered.
