Why You Should Give Blow Breeze a Try
The drama itself is quite lengthy and at times could be dragging, unlike popular dramas you might have watched already. This seasoned writer keeps you interested through an ever-changing story without relying on fillers. You can find gold diggers, psycho lines, and ridiculous moments along the way. Though the overall story may get on your nerves because of the over-the-top plot, the story is still endearing, and it’s actually a quite fun drama to watch. It’s also interesting because not many dramas tell a story of a runaway North Korean family. But, as mentioned before, because the main characters kept getting trampled on, there are so many cliffhangers that may test your patience while watching this drama. Forget the typical romance drama, here we offer you the chance to witness a romantic-yet-crazy-and-makjang Romeo and Juliet of South Korea 😉
