Serendipity’s Embrace is a reasonably fundamental romantic comedy. It has a easy premise with two highschool associates assembly once more as adults and having to cope with their emotions. It’s all fairly customary.
The primary battle surrounds Hong Ju and Hu Yeong remembering their previous and coming to phrases with their present emotions. We do have some minor points surrounding Hong Ju’s ex, her pal, and Hu Yeong’s mother. It’s all fairly laid again although.
Hu Yeong and Hong Ju have a pleasant relationship general. We get lots of flashbacks to them in highschool to see what their temporary friendship was like and the way they bonded. These scenes have been woven in properly and laid an excellent basis for the connection.
Though the present day curiosity is there pretty quickly, it takes a bit for them to behave on their emotions. We discover their points, cope with potential issues, and start a relationship. They’ve some good conversations and several other candy moments between them.
There’s a secondary couple of Hong Ju’s pal, Hye Ji (Kim Da Som), and a gymnasium instructor named Gyeong Taek (Hwang Sung Bin). They add a bit of additional humor to the sequence. Nothing too loopy, but it surely’s cute sufficient.
Total, Serendipity’s Embrace is fairly run-of-the-mill. The pacing is laid again and nothing significantly thrilling occurs. The couple is nice however fairly odd. There’s a splash of drama combined with humor and a little bit of coronary heart. I did fairly benefit from the soundtrack with this one which was utilized rather well.
However the sequence was on the tasteless facet and never very memorable. At solely 8 episodes, it’s good if you would like a easy, low-stress watch with a relationship journey on the middle and simply sufficient battle to push issues alongside.
My Ranking: 6/10
