'Spring Fever' has emerged as a new 'monday blues cure' by demonstrating the fundamentals of romantic comedy.
The tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Spring Fever' (writer Kim A-jung, director Park Won-guk, planned by CJ ENM STUDIOS, produced by Bon Factory), which airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m., is precisely targeting viewers' tastes with director Park Won-guk's direction that reached the peak of quirky romantic comedy and the heart-fluttering romance development between Seon Jae-gyu (Ahn Bo-hyun) and Yoon Bom (Lee Joo-been).
In particular, the lead male character Seon Jae-gyu's reverse charm of not hiding his feelings when he likes someone and acting before hesitating has acted as the main driving force behind the drama's popularity. In addition, the narrative in which the two protagonists heal each other's wounds through love satisfies excitement, vicarious pleasure and healing, earning praise. Here, we picked the most impactful ending scenes among the six episodes aired so far.
▲ 2nd episode: Seon Jae-gyu and Yoon Bom, impact no. 1 'tango ending' sends hearts racing
To find Choi Se-jin (played by Lee Jaein), who had suddenly run away because of academic pressure, Seon Jae-gyu and Yoon Bom headed to Seoul and learned from Seon Han-gyeol (Cho Junyoung) that Choi Se-jin was on the subway. The two hurried to the subway and saw Choi Se-jin being affectionate with a mysterious man, and just before the subway doors closed, Seon Jae-gyu threw himself in and grabbed Yoon Bom's waist as she staggered — a scene that has become one of 'Spring Fever's' representative memorable moments. The close moment reminiscent of a tango, combined with Yoon Bom's memories of Seon Jae-gyu from the past crossing over, simultaneously exploded curiosity about the two people's connection and excitement.
▲ 5th episode: Yoon Bom's sincere confession to Seon Jae-gyu 'confession ending' "I'm afraid I'll cross the line"
In episode 5, Yoon Bom for the first time revealed why she had pushed Seon Jae-gyu away despite her feelings wavering. In this episode, which exposed cracks in her emotions, Yoon Bom, who had suppressed her feelings because of wounds inflicted by parents in the past, confessed her true feelings toward Seon Jae-gyu with the words "I'm afraid I'll cross the line." The cautiously but clearly revealed mutual feelings became a decisive turning point that put the romance on the right track and ignited the relationship between the two.
▲ 6th episode: "I'm sorry. I couldn't wait" Seon Jae-gyu and Yoon Bom, pent-up feelings explode 'kiss ending'
After understanding Yoon Bom's situation of having pushed him away because he was a parent, Seon Jae-gyu declared he would wait until his nephew Seon Han-gyeol graduated. However, contrary to the promise, their feelings for each other grew, and despite bickering over misunderstandings and jealousy, the pent-up feelings burst in the episode 6 ending. Seon Jae-gyu's heartfelt apology, "I'm sorry. I couldn't wait," followed by a kiss signaled the start of a full-fledged romance and raised viewers' heart rates to the maximum.
Viewers have responded enthusiastically to this development, saying, "A proper rom-com has come out at the start of the year," "Watching the drama makes me want to live in Sinsu-eup too. It's an interesting neighborhood," "When will Monday and Tuesday come?", "You can feel how much Seon Jae-gyu and Yoon Bom love each other. Pure love itself," and "The beauty-and-the-beast pairing, the size chemistry is crazy." Through impactful scenes in each episode, it captures the essential fun of romantic comedy and leads viewers to become deeply absorbed so they naturally mull over each episode.
At the season's midpoint, with Seon Jae-gyu and Yoon Bom having confirmed their mutual feelings, viewers are looking forward to which direction their relationship will take. The tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Spring Fever' will air episode 7 at 8:50 p.m. on the 26th.
