@kurama - The two main leads don’t seem to me to have much chemistry. Is this just my confirmation bias or seems to be the case?

I have lived in the Great Lakes area and in parts of the US with the same combination of mountains and sea as one has in Korea- and the professional meteorologists actually agree that for forecasting the later situation is far more difficult. What you have experienced is what can happen in places like Texas where, being relatively flat, there is very little stopping airmasses from moving very quickly- and the temperature can drop fifty degrees in a few hours. One can go from a pleasant sunny day to a snowstorm in that time (in Texas they used to call this a "Blue Norther")- Such a sudden snow actually played a part in Texas history: When General Santa Anna invaded Texas his army was caught in such a storm and lost a considerable number of soldiers as a result.

So you will still experience extreme changes in weather where you are but at least you should have fair warning now as to when it is coming.

We may have to suspend the logic centers of our brains to enjoy this show. I'm in for PMY but also giggled at the use of the word observe rather than forecast.
Wonder if they will discuss what forecast modeling program they use in Korea? Hmmm, off to research.

Yes, the premise of this, difficulty of forecasting or not, looks a little iffy to me. But then, I would have said the same for the last show in which I saw Park Min-Young, Her Private Life, which had unexpected depth with its comparison of curating art and curating celebrity lives, plus fan-fantasy love vs. real person love. Unfortunately the writers threw it all away in the last episodes with a tedious childhood connection and focus on the male lead trauma, which rated at best a 4 on my K-drama traum-o-meter. Hopefully this show keeps the focus on Park Min-Young, and picks up on some "forecasting" themes that aren't simple-minded "coming storm" metaphors!

Also, that picture in the lift gives me severe anxiety during COVID times. Why are you all so close together???

@ladynightshade: It was hardly a rant! Totes agree.

And I can't imagine breaking up with Park Min-Young! Of course I'm one of her biggest fan-geezers.

I'm also offended on Yoon Park's behalf. He is definitely not that much shorter than Song Kang yet he's tiny in that last poster. (facts: Song Kang is 1.86 m. tall; Yoon Park is 1.82 m). I hate it when the second lead is sidelined even before the drama starts. If you're gonna have a love triangle in a weather drama, it should be more like a Bermuda Love Triangle, not a boring predictable forecast.

omg it makes it worse when they deliberately accentuate the age gap with a haircut. I swear they would have more chemistry if he just showed his forehead (this is a joke, but at the same time it's not)

They deliberately made him look younger? Why does this drama keep sabotaging itself? In shows like these, you try to accentuate features and characterization that bridges the age gap between the lovers, not shout it out to the world with flashing lights.

Hope people don't jump on me but by now i'm fed up with their obsession for pure...

@marcusnyc20 Park Min Young seems to like dramas with the word "Weather" in the title. 😁 I also did not feel the age gap with Seo Kang-joon, but it looks very obvious here.

I might sound weird, but I like her best when she's not trying to look perfect. I remember the whacky girl in HEALER who danced around a cafe with her dad and wore frumpy coats and hats. With the exception of WEATHER (at least until ep. 13) she has only played glamorous perfectly dressed characters recently. Also, I'm likely to die of indigestion if this drama is mainly a romance, like HER PRIVATE LIFE (which I dropped when I realised the drama did not care in the least about a plot).

So yeah, this will be a pass for me, though I know that Weather Bureaus can be very exciting places. I worked at one myself with @greenfields a few years ago. We surveyed the battle between Ye Liner and MinhoYoung from the safety of the Island of Neutrality. It was very hard to forecast anything accurately. I almost drowned while out doing fieldwork. #APAD😁

I have nothing against Song Kang, I even liked him in Sweet Home but it honestly baffles me how some people can't see what a weak actor he is. The same goes for Jang Kiyong, maybe it's the roles Jang Kiyong has been choosing lately but the last time I remember him being good was in Come and Hug Me

Song Kang was very lucky Navillera was as well-written as it was. A weaker script - therefore, a worse character - would’ve been disastrous as Chae-rok is such an essential figure to the drama. He has the charisma and acting acumen of a loaf of bread, but he’s real pretty so the mostly younger, heterosexual female audience for kdramas eats it up regardless.

Kim Kwon was great even in his limited screentime. Somebody please give his man more roles. He’s incredibly talented and deserves more opportunities.

I agree with you. There are some actors that are not so good but have charisma. He's not one of them.

Although I agree about Song Kang, I do notice his acting has steadily improved since he started out, so maybe he will surprise us. Like a lot of male K stars, he doesnt have a good voice for acting. It seems the main criteria are a pretty face and enough height to tower over the other guys.

For me, it looks predictable. But for a rom-com, I won't say it's wrong. PMY is great... song kang, I don't know, but he looks cute... the rest will be filler, possibly.... But then again, it is a light show. It will fit the taste of many of us, including myself 😅😂😅✌🙋

Good question!

Yes, it is.
