I get a Camellia Blooms without the serial killer vibe.
Alone in Love was great.

I mean... OFC they knew each other as kids lol.
Should I watch this to see if I actually like a PMY drama post-Healer... I mean what :P
Actually I think what I'm most looking forward to about this (other than books) is that it's not set in Seoul...

I will watch it. I like both Seo Kang-Joon (I seem to be one in a million according to what I’ve read lately) and Park Min-Ju, so it’s a Yes for me.

I couldn't quite get into Are you human too and Third Charm so I don't know how good of an actor Seo Kang-joon is but I love Park Mi -Young so I'll probably watch this for her.

I can not say how much I'm looking forward to this. Fingers crossed.

Ooooh they look so cozy and warm. I really like Seo Kang Joon after seeing him take on a serious role in Watcher. He did well.

Can't wait to see all the books and the smaller setting in the countryside. ^^ Hope the story and romance doesn't become bland.

I love park min young and so whatever she’s in I’m excited. I definitely missed her in a melodrama. I’m still warming up to this pairing so fingers crossed they pull at my heartstrings. Also PMY really needs to escape the childhood trope..sigh

Seo Kang Joon from a quick glance looks like he could be the long lost brother of Shin Sung Rok. Or is it just me, lol?

I thought Park Min Young was going to have bangs but I guess not? I hope it is a slow burn, and a warm and heartfelt show (I've heard people who read the manhwa say this).

@tccolb, thank you for the update on I WILL FIND YOU WHEN THE WEATHER IS NICE. You had me at "independent bookshop." I agree that the stills conjure up an introspective atmosphere of curling up with a good book in the dead of winter while swaddled in layers of cozy wool.

I'm tickled to learn that the director worked on ALONE IN LOVE, one of my top Kdramas. From the information that I've been able to turn up on Han Ga-ram's only other drama to date (a 2-part TV movie that aired in late 2017 on JTBC and has yet to be subtitled), the title can be variously rendered as SUMMER DAYS; HAN YEO-REUM'S MEMORY; MIDSUMMER'S MEMORY. Based on a description on a streaming site, that looks like a trick title. I may end up watching it raw because of the cast: Choi Gang-hee (PETTY ROMANCE; HEART TO HEART), Lee Joon-hyuk [1984] and Lee Jae-won (both in THE SPRING DAY OF MY LIFE, whose title had a double meaning), Tae In-ho (philandering fiance in ROMANTIC DOCTOR, TEACHER KIM; MAN TO MAN), and Heo Young-ji (formerly of "Kara" who was a hoot as An-na in OH HAE-YOUNG AGAIN -- another show with a trick title).

It looks as if screenwriter Han Ga-ram is a member of the production design team (along with Lee Ha-joon, Jo Won-qoo, and Jo Hee) that snagged an Oscar nomination for PARASITE.

My fingers are crossed that there will be no terminal illnesses, family tragedy-induced mental scars, birth secrets, fatal paper cuts, mad robotics scientists, serial killers, or kidnappers lurking in the stacks. I'm still attempting to recover from THE THIRD CHARM, ARE YOU HUMAN TOO?, and WHEN THE CAMELLIA BLOOMS. Please spare me from WHAT'S WRONG WITH BOOKSELLER IM. Truck Of Doom, please take a detour and park for a spell in a scenic rest stop for a well-deserved break after all your hard work in 2019 and early 2020. ;-)

oooh looking forward to this! finally seo kang joon is paired with someone i like lolololol

I like Seo Kang-joon, and this synopsis is giving me Taiwan type drama vibes (i.e. Yong-joo Grocery Store). A good thing.
I'm not a Park Min young fan, but mostly because I've usually seen her as a chirpy character in most of her romcom dramas and I'm tired of that type of role. If she can be more solemn and sad for a change as this suggests, I might like her. Would love to see her as a totally different type of character, like maybe the bad guy for once, or an action drama, etc.

This does sound like a good replacement for Chocolate, which just ended. I'm liking the out of Seoul setting in dramas lately. It puts you in a calm, relaxed mood -- a perfect way to wind down from your busy day.

It's not winter where I come from. Am I still welcome to watch this drama, OP?

I really can't wait to watch it. I'm craving for some good melodrama. I've been waiting of chocolate to end so I can binge watch on Netflix.

After Watcher, I have a newfound appreciation of Seo Kang Joon. He did an excellent job in his role. I've always liked Park Min Young. Melo isn't my favorite genre, but if it's more of a sub-genre I'm fine with it. I'll probably watch this.

Finally figured out why I don't care for Park Min-young. I no longer see her as a character in a drama, but an actress playing a character.
However, I really really like Seo Kang-joon's acting. He's always the character, not the actor playing the character.
So, when I try out this drama, who will win? If I'm taken out of the story by Park Min-young playing a role, then no. If I see Im Eun-seob, then okay.
