Not review just a lot of spoilers actually

‌

★★★I didn't like

★Helping her while she is drunk
★Looking for her money & not saying what that the kid mistakenly took the money
★★& & & His face? why so handsome vai
‌★ BTW morning walk became useful in the last few episodes ?

‌★★★ now me actually this is the life I want not caring about others just live for yourself in right way some time doing good things for others. Sometime reading books in a library, see the sea & the clear beautiful sky everyday a peaceful life & some time maybe some people to care for me

‌★★★Ok so I thought these thing ?? when I was watching the drama but they were just the characters & I really liked their acting. The cast was great. But still I would like to say that there is something lacking I don’t know what but I wasn’t really satisfied with the drama. Maybe because of the sudden plot twist as I thought it to be a healing drama? ..

‌★★★spoiler: Plot twist was the police thing he didn’t really get much screen time but at the end he became the villain. But one more thing people who Watch a lot of dramas might have guessed that something is wrong with him ?

Give it a chance.

I think this kdrama is very suitable for marathoning, so much so that I finished it all in one day and enjoyed it. I think its length is sufficient, it didn't bore me nor did I think about fast forwarding through it, I think it had just enough of everything... except romance, although I guess I say that because I'm more used to this type of series containing more romance and that's why I expected more in the main characters. However, that doesn't detract from the plot of the series, the way the characters connected I thought was unique and certainly cute. Some people didn't like that the characters somehow didn't change that much over the course, but I think that's a pretty real thing, in the end our personalities are hard to change 180 degrees, but the characters did have a lot of growth and gained more wisdom about life, but they were still them at the end of the day, and that's fine from my perspective.
I want to highlight the cast, it was adequate and they executed it very well.

I would recommend this series without hesitation. I liked it.

it's the most amazingly well done kdrama

So I watched it and let me tell you something if you didn't watch this. WATCH IT. Its so amazingly well written and makes you relate to some parts especially in the beginning of the kdrama where she felt she was running and running with no destination work,sleep and everything whole over again. She decided for herself for once to go to a place where she can relax and get better. And that's something I wish I done too mine days are always the same school,go home worrying about school watch some tiktoks and sleep and then whole ever again. But this kdrama when it aired and finished made me realise life is sometimes hard but we have people around us that make it way better some people not but still "happiness: is the state where we lack nothing". This kdrama got some amazing quotes made me feel so much better for mineself I watched the last episode little bit sad cause of some real life issues and. When I watched it I felt so much better. if you didn't watch this. I really recommend watching it you will not regret. :)

the definition of “comfort show”

guys. i can’t believe this drama is not talked about enough??? HOW IS THIS NOT TALKED ABOUT ENOUGH???

let me begin with the casting. they really chose the most perfect main leads they could’ve casted because oh my god the casting was *chefs kiss*. the actors fit so well with the characters, i almost forgot that im watching a kdrama for a second. as always, siwan did a spectacular job soaking himself into the role SO WELL. the female lead was also so perfect in her character and she was so natural the whole time that i shed so many tears with her because i just felt so connected to her. also, im literally in love with siwan’s character because oh my god how did he just portray it SO WELL???? the quiet, kind, shy country boy LIKE IS THIS THE SAME MAN FROM UNLOCKED???? of course he always just slays his roles because of his phenomenal acting ??

the vibes of this show are literally the best, this is THE drama you’d wanna watch under your warm blanket with a warm cup of tea. THIS IS IT. the sweetest, innocent type of romance that i missed watching so much, they gave it to me. the supporting characters were also amazing and the found family trope is just *chefs kiss*

summer strike is truly SO WELL MADE i truly hope people do watch this because this is going to be your go-to comfort show!!

Lovely Kdrama

Its such a calming kdrama..watch it when you're feeling low or in need of an escape. This show will make you want to escape just like the main character. It makes you intrigued and makes you wonder just how much can your life change if you do one thing thats huge and out of the ordinary. Will your life change for the better? Will you regret it? Who will you meet.. will you meet someone who will change you? Waahh.. all I have is good review for this kdrama. Though some episodes can be slow paced and a bit boring but i swear they quickly make up for it. Also another great Siwan role!

One of the best k-dramas of 2022

This drama is the perfect representation that a drama doesn't need so many extravagant elements to be an amazing and memorable drama. Summer strike is that drama that leaves messages of self-discovery, what life means and what happiness is, so watching this drama is a journey with the main character in search of those answers but it's also a drama with characters so real and human that it's easy to identify with any of them. This is a drama for any type of person because it not only fulfills its goal of entertaining you but it also ends with a sense of happiness, comfort and leaves you wanting to begin your journey in search of your own answers.

Got comforted by this drama at times when I least expected it

Guys, at first I hadn't liked the drama much on its first two episodes. So I had even dropped it but then again later on I carried on and tried to watch it. Guess what I loved it so much more than before. It brought me sincere happiness to my heart even if it's just for a while. Thanks to this drama "Summer strike", I felt at ease. I tend to enjoy any movies and dramas based on my current interest, mood and my current life circumstances. It was raining today and I kinda felt myself being stuck in my life and I had nothing to do. But I started giggling like a child and there was a sincere smile on my face while watching. The camera quality was somehow darker and unusual than any other dramas like Hometown Cha cha, Welcome to Samdalri, but it was comforting to me despite of not having a brighter screen, I guess that's the speciality of this drama. To comfort us at times when we least expect it to.

A breath of fresh air

When I first read the Korean title I was like, "what in the Bruno Mars?? " and was curious what the story had to offer. I didn't expect the mystery in this at all, since it had more of a melodrama vibe (from the poster). A corporate worker decides to take a break but ends up quitting her job and moves out with no solid plan on what to do next, somehow ending up in a town and renting a place for cheap. Tbh, I was a bit jealous of her for her bold decision, but also saw her as very naive.
Overall, I loved it; library, introverts trying to figure out how to date, countryside, sense of community- the screenwriter made all these work together. If you love these, this will be a great and refreshing show to watch.

short, realistic, cozy

cozy small town vibes with all the elements of life and characters that you would expect from such a place. depressing at times, hopeful at others. peace and messages of being content in life, however it is, at times, stories of human anguish and tragedy at others.

watched only for shin eun soo - great job and very multidimensional character for her. really loved FL's acting and character too. she fits perfectly with the realistic plain vibe of everyday life the drama wanted to portray.

although i wish they focused more on her mental health and personal healing too (more than just her helping others through theirs) because the girl did go through some trauma. from work pressure to breakip to losing her mom and then moving to a small town where she was unwelcome at first, seeing death and losing people again. taking care of bom and her bro. all this plot though understandable wasn't very concise or clear. what happened to bom's father in the end i wonder. an alcoholic would always be one was that the message, or should it have been a stress point against drinking work culture and peer pressure to do so in thr country.

good and content ending ig. wish we could have seen more of the ml and the lead couple together. by the end i felt like i haven't really seen him all that much?

their relationship - the initial awkwardness, interactions, mannerisms, shy smiles - all veryy wholesome and realistic.

ofcourse there is a murder solving our lead sherlock couples undertake haha along with some high speed running and chasing ?

A kdrama that has all my heart <3

One of my favorites <3

Este drama me transmitió tanta tranquilidad, dolor y amor al mismo tiempo ): Me gustó muchísimo, no creí que fuera a gustarme tanto, es un drama que se convierte en mi comfort zone <3

Me vi muy reflejada en Yeo Rum y Dae Bum, muchas veces sentía que una parte de mi habitaba en ellos y por eso me sentía tan identificada.

Es un drama muy realista que te hace sufrir y cuestionar la vida, pero es un drama que te da esperanza también.

Creo que no hay nada de malo en sentirte mal y querer escapar de todo, y no hay de malo en hacerlo y encontrar tu paz y tu bienestar. <3
