Synopsis:
The episodes are a bit different from other dramas. Each episode highlights the lives of people from various places who visited Jeju Island or the locals themselves.
Unique stories of the locals
I’ve visited Jeju Island but what I’ve seen during the trip are only the beautiful spots of the province. On the other hand, this drama gave us a glimpse of the locals, both their happy times on the island and the struggles they had to face in their province from their own point of view.
Shin Min Ah from Hometown ChaChaCha to Our Blues
The bubbly and cheerful character of Shin Min Ah as Yoon Hye Jin in Hometown ChaChaCha did a 360-degree turnaround of her character in Our Blues. Still, what remained is the hometown, and countryside background of the story where she lives.
The storyline
Having different main characters every two episodes, I love how the series managed to showcase the story of every character in various POVs. Each of the stories higlighted in the show gives life lessons and you’ll probably be more cautious on the feelings of the people around you after watching the drama.
The beautiful Jeju Island
Our Blues, mostly filmed in the beautiful island of Jeju gave us a glimpse of what life is in an island where the beach is just a few steps away from your home. the drama also showed that despite Jeju being a province, there locations where progress is very visible and you’d still get a feel of what a developed country could provide its citizens.
Our Blues is available on Netflix.
