“Even though we’ll regret it someday, we’ll take center stage in our youth, to love, to be hurt, and then to love again with all our hearts.”

The last moments of the series gave a light and warm-hearted ending. Each character parted ways from their past and gave themselves a chance to bloom again.

Yeo Joon finally gets the ‘real’ freedom Jun Wan wants him to have. He and his father settle, and Yeo Joon escapes from his father’s abusive hands. 

Furthermore, he can now smile genuinely and form honest relationships. He and Kim So Bin strengthen their relationship by continuously understanding and communicating with each other. 

On the other hand, Yeo Joon’s and Nam Soo Hyun’s friendship shows with their love-hate relationship. The two reminisce about their first meeting and are thankful for meeting each other. 

Their last group project also tested their growth and honesty. By being open while discovering each other’s weakness, it helped them to ace their presentation.

At A Distance Spring Is Green Series Peak Points

Relatable Characters

Recent K-Drama stories focus on realistic and relatable plots. It’s clear that the series targets the youth and adds relatable scenarios found at school.

Furthermore, the pandemic forced students to study virtually and made them miss many experiences as a youth. 

Like the characters from the series, teens experienced heartbreaks, romance, nervousness, braveness, and alike. 

Mi Joo’s character relates to every woman who falls in love. The feeling of liking someone mixes heart fluttering, jealousy, and wanting to confess. 

In addition, many audiences also relate to Young Ran’s character in terms of friendship and love. Many youth treasure friendships rather than risking confessing their feelings.

And lastly, many students sympathize with Nam Soo Hyun, who hates group projects. In a group, there would always be a member who doesn’t contribute much. 

Leaving Toxic Relationships For Self-growth

At A Distance Spring Is Green showed different kinds of relationships. But it emphasizes one’s relationship to himself.

Many influencers have taught everyone the importance of spotting toxic relationships. It’s easy to leave a romantic and platonic relationship.

What’s difficult is cutting out toxic characteristics of ourselves. It showed on the series how damaging our toxic self is to our growth. 

Nam Soo Hyun created a habit and barrier for the people who care about him. He thought that pushing away others and depending on himself will take away his suffering. 

Not only he hurts others but also himself. Everyone on the series has a past that created them to be that way. 

Cherishing The Season of Youth

At the stage of adolescence, many worries about their future and their weakness. Everyone has their struggles, but it should not hinder enjoying the present.

In the first few episodes, viewers easily empathized to see the sad situation of Nam Soo Hyun. He sacrifices his and his youth for the future of his family.

When it comes to his academic performance, he forgets to enjoy the process. 

But as he took off his mask, he slowly becomes more “human” and shows his true identity. The moment he accepts Yeo Joon’s help doesn’t mean he accepts his defeat. 

Soo Hyun’s character symbolizes ‘darkness,’ while Yeo Joon embodies ‘light.’ The two are very different, but because of that, it helped them to leave their shadows. 

In addition, those differences also made a way for them to enjoy their lives. They appreciate what they have by only knowing that they are not alone.


At A Distance Spring Is Green Series Musings

As a teen, I see myself relating to the situation of every character. Not only the main characters took the spotlight but the supporting characters as well. 

The series balances with different levels of emotions but mainly focuses on a light-hearted genre. 

Furthermore, it’s a good addition to your watch list if you had absorbed too much heavy series. It is a feel-good drama with deep messages for all ages who wants encouragement. 

I like how the development of each character tells different stories to its viewers. They broaden their audience by including real-life scenarios of students and teachers.

Though there are not many scenes that stick to me, the message they want to impart on will surely remember by their audience.

In addition, the journey of every character is also a journey of the viewers. From the beginning, I saw their struggles to their growth. 

The viewers will remember every character of the series and have learned from them. 

If you’re looking for encouragement and a warm-hearted story, At A Distance Spring Is Green is made for you.
