I stopped watching after Episode 5. Do we have any updates? Fern, are you still watching this? 🙂 Was my wild theory correct? That this odd church transition scene in Episode 4 was a foreshadowing of EunSub’s own family? That it was a hint to us that EunSub was a foster child and his real […]
When the Weather is Nice: Episode 5
This is tough episode to review because I don’t like what I’m watching. There’s a big chance that I’m dropping this after the 8th episode. Mea culpa. I think many recappers and viewers are glossing over a significant topic in this episode. 1. Episode Title: “Noblewoman from the West” The title was the giveaway. I […]
When the Weather is Nice: On Jang Woo
I’m answering @GB’s post here. Thanks for this @pkml3. The thought that ES was angry over HW’s trek in the mountain did not strike me until you mentioned it. Now the question is if he was angrier over the fact that she almost discovered his hidey hole, or because he just did not want any […]

When the Weather is Nice: Episode 3

When the Weather is Nice: Episode 2
Pardon me for being a slow-top lately. I finally got why these first two episodes have been excruciatingly slow for me. It’s because the slow-moving pictures imitate the tone and cadence of a melancholic poem. 1. The Poems Here are the two poems in this episode. The first one was deliberately omitted in the Viki […]
When the Weather is Nice: Ep 1 First Impressions
Ep 1 Title: The Wind Blowing through a Willow Tree Opening scene: a young man leisurely makes coffee for himself. He looks outside the window at a tree shedding leaves. Next, a woman walks down an empty road with her rolling luggage. She receives a phone call from a “Headmaster” and disconnects it. She stops […]

I’m leaning towards a yes. Alternative Titles: I’ll Visit You When the Weather is Nice, I’ll Find You on a Beautiful Day, I’ll Go to You When the Weather Is Nice. Start Date: Next Monday, February 24. Actors: Seo Kang-joon, Park Min-young, and Lee JaeWook (the 2nd male lead in Extra-ordinary You) To be honest, […]
