One Spring Night is a slice-of-life so it follows the mundane day-to-day activities of the main characters and how they deal with challenges.

Especially the main couple, they talk things over and over again till they come to a solution and a conclusion.

3. Characters have their individual personality and lives 

All characters in the drama have their individual and independent lives and while the romance is the central plot of the drama, love and romance are not the central parts in the characters' lives. Love is one of the parts of their live and they also juggle family, friends and their jobs along with it. Never does love become toxic and take the central stage. They give their partners time and priority but they are also living their own lives. 

4. Relationship with families

The drama also deals with the themes of family and how they affect a serious relationship. Families often disapprove of partners or sometimes may even force to marry someone of their liking. One Spring Night deals with such themes with maturity and gives the characters the space to grow through such situations as their love story also advances. 

5. Portrayal of romance

The romance depicted in Once Spring Night is subtle and slow paced. The amazing slow burn romance evolves through the episodes and the characters grow with one another. They are ready to take responsibility of the relationship and the baggage that their partner might come with. The main leads know what they want from the relationship and work together to make it work. 

Though the romance might sound boring, their love is passionate and intense while being mature at the same time. 


More about One Spring Night 

This is an underrated piece starring Jung Hae In. Leading opposite to Han Ji Min, this drama is a mature romance. While it has all the heart-fluttering moments that are present in a K-drama, it is also slow-paced and realistic. Han Ji Min plays a librarian and Jung Hye In plays a single father who is a pharmacist. He falls for the librarian and asks her to date him. She has her concerns about the man but also slowly ends up falling for him. This beautiful piece shows how two adults navigate the challenges of family amongst other things to make their relationship work. It is another masterpiece by the director of One Spring Night. It is also accompanied by a splendid playlist of soundtracks.
