Is the happy ending and positive praise surrounding this kdrama series well-deserved? This is a recap for Our Beloved Summer Episode 16 Finale on Netflix.

Check out our previous episode review here.

So it’s been a long while since this series ended, and I still haven’t written my final review. Since I felt overwhelmingly negative after watching episode 16, I decided to take a week (or two) and collect my thoughts, reanalyze them, and see if I felt differently within time.

Spoiler alert: I don’t have any different feelings from my initial ones.

I Have Second Lead Syndrome – Our Beloved Summer Ep 13 & 14 Review

After watching Eun Ho and Sol Yi have such natural interactions, I now have a case of second lead syndrome. This is a review for Episode 13 & 14 of Our Beloved Summer on Netflix.

Check out our previous episode review here.

Another slow episode that gave us some hints at a romantic development between Sol Yi and Eun Ho.

To be quite honest, I enjoyed watching them have a conversation over shucking clams more than the ‘romcom’ scenes between Yeun Su and Choi Woong.

Then again, I’m not really a fan of the romantic comedy genre to begin with, so there’s that, too.
