One Spring Night
a.k.a 봄밤
Yoo Ji Ho (Jung Hae In), a pharmacist and a single dad, meets Lee Jeong In (Han Ji Min). Of course, things are not easy for Ji Ho since he needs to work for his child. Lee Jeong In has her share of problems too. Her dad is insistent that she should marry her longtime boyfriend. Despite her boyfriend's impressive credentials, she decides to weigh her options.
Will Jeong In decide to get married? Will Ji Ho give love a chance?
To be honest, I was hesitant whether I will give One Spring Night a try or not. It had a similar concept with Jung Hae In's previous drama, Something in the Rain. I admit that I was NOT fan of the show. I didn't like it. I think it was mainly because of Son Ye Jin's character. She was a pushover during the start so I got annoyed and decided to drop the show.
Sorry, I can't help but compare the 2 shows because of the similar story. Not only that, the two also shared the same production crew. Ahn Pan Seok directed both Something in the Rain and One Spring Night. The latter was supposed to be Jung Hae In and Son Ye Jin's reunion project, but she declined the offer. I am glad she did because I don't think Son Ye Jin fits the role anyway. Han Ji Min did justice to Lee Jeong In.
I can see how her character (Lee Jeong In) is fierce. She knows what she wants. I like that in a person. I love how she fought for her happiness. Just because her sister Lee Seo In got married, it does not mean Lee Jeong In has to. Look at these snippets from episode 1:

This scene was when Lee Jeong In's dad asked when she's going to get married. She just said, Who knows what will happen? No pressure on when that is exactly. I like that about her.

AND THEN, this happened. She finally told her dad straight to his face that she wants to think about it carefully.
"I won't be pushed into it (getting married) like her (Lee Seo In.) I want to weigh my options and get married on my own terms when I am ready." - Lee Jeong In
