Welcome to Samdalri Sequence Highlights
A candy romance unaffected by time passing
The lead pair has by no means stopped loving one another. Yong-pil selected to not transfer on and maintain Sam-dal in his coronary heart. Sam-dal couldn’t have an honest relationship and all the time questioned why the person earlier than her wasn’t Yong-pil.
The break-up wasn’t about them however the household issues that acquired in the way in which. Yong-pil’s father compelled them to interrupt up though they by no means needed to.
The reunion made Yong-pil and Sam-dal understand how flawed of a call that breakup was. And with that realization in thoughts, they resolved to face it head-on and finally acquired Yong-pil’s father’s blessing.
The Energy Rangers Squad
Sam-dal’s dream has been to rise from the small stream to the large metropolis. And within the course of, she lower ties together with her childhood associates and led a lonely life. However as Yong-pil places it, nobody can rise from a small stream “on their very own.”
If something, the one perk of Sam-dal going again to her hometown was her reunion with these boys who all the time acquired her again and made positive to comply with Sam-dal’s information and couldn’t be any prouder of her even when she had no thought about that.
It felt satisfying watching the boys educate the dishonest ex-boyfriend and the evil assistant a lesson and kick them out. And even ultimately, they have been those who uncovered the reality and helped Sam-dal comply with via together with her exhibition.
The three Dal sisters
Along with Ha-yul, the sisterly bond our three troublemaking sisters shared was one in every of my favourite arcs within the present. They couldn’t be any totally different however have been all the time there for one another. Be it exhibiting up with suitcases within the yard of their household house, nagging one another, or ranting about their messy lives, these three have been a delight. And having a love story for every of the sisters made it extra entertaining.
Welcome to Samdalri Sequence Musings
A visit again to at least one’s hometown to heal and reunite with an ex-boyfriend is such a fascinating premise, and paired with Ji Chang Wook and Shin Hye Solar as the principle leads, viewers have been anticipating this collection. And whereas the drama delivered on a number of factors, it had some points that took away the enjoyment.
I perceive how heartbroken and devastated Sam-dal might need felt over her profession happening, and everybody turning their backs on her, however spending 4 episodes on Sam-dal getting drunk and refusing to say something about what actually occurred was irritating, to say the least. This was billed as a therapeutic drama, but the present didn’t fairly ship on that entrance.
Additionally, an excessive amount of time was spent on the gossiping ajummas and the pointless love triangle that felt compelled on the plot so as to add useless pressure. That point would have been higher spent on Sam-dal and Yong-pil’s relationship as adults, the Energy Rangers squad, or the opposite two sisters’ love tales that had barely any display screen time. We gained’t be beginning in regards to the assistant’s arc, which was dragged out and acquired an excessive amount of display screen time.
All in all, it was a present with strengths and weaknesses. What’s disappointing was the wasted potential, which might have made for a therapeutic masterpiece if solely the present had lower down on the annoying elements and centered on the extra fascinating ones.
All episodes of Welcome To Samdalri are streaming on Netflix.
