When the Camellia Blooms
(2019 - Netflix, 20 1:10 eps)

Some romance, a bit of comedy, & a serial murder mystery. 20 eps is enough time to move gracefully between the genres. Motherhood, the flaws & heartbreaking sacrifices of the moms is the central theme.

It contains the I-can't-be-with-you-because trope. Aside from that personal peeve, the show is very well done. The sinister mystery has unexpected twists.

FL's name means camellia, representing faithfulness & longevity, which fits. They also represent spring & this series is about the awakening of the FL.

The cinematography was part of the story - not grand sweeping vistas, but good at conveying the scene's emotion. It also has the most beautifully coordinated neighborhood costuming I've seen.

The last eps was not what I expected, but tied up all the story lines nicely.
