"When the Weather Is Fine" & "The Third Charm" are my slow, savory, insightful writing gems. I won't count "Summer Strike" - it's almost there, but the criminal activity puts it in a different genre for me (not bad, actually really good, but just a bit too much suspense for a savory watch).
Note: 3rd Charm has a horrible MDL rating & you have to get past the 1st few episodes before it becomes solid.

I love this drama. I think it is very underrated. I will admit to hating the lead characters through the first few episodes, but the drama keeps getting better and better.
I watched because I love the ML & then also, because like you, saw the FL in "Because This is My First Life"
In-between Jeongnyeon episodes, I started 2018's #TheThirdCharm starring Esom. I adored her in #BecauseThisIsMyFirstLife and she was a surprise cameo in this year's movie Escape.
Episode 3 has me crying already. I love that in episode 1, the ML's family is watching a kdrama and comment how the money-grubbing networks always delay the kiss for the next episode, and we get the kiss in that first episode! 😄
This show also has a young Lee Sang Yi as the ML's best friend.

Here's my review. It has a warning. But I'd highly recommend it.
Attached: 1 image #kDrama The Third Charm (2018 - Netflix, 16 1:15 eps) Wow! It has a 6.7 rating on MDL, so I had been putting off watching, even though I enjoy Seo Kang Joon's acting. After I saw Esom in another drama, I thought I'd try. Around eps. 4 I was going to drop it, which I rarely do. I hated the main characters. But I kept going: 1) I had seen the leads' work before & couldn't believe they would have accepted parts like this. I was right. The characters improve so much. 2) Part of this drama is set in Portugal. I am visiting in a few months & I wanted to see it through a kDrama lens. Totally worth it - so beautiful! The FL has a lot of tragic things happen in her life, one of which hit close to home for me & caused a lot of crying - therapeutic.

The Third Charm (continued)
Much of the show is about power imbalances in relationships. Who confesses first? Who loves more? Who is willing to sacrifice more? There is SO MUCH symbolism in this show, some profound dialogue & 1 scene involving an apology, forgiveness & reconciliation with no dialogue - just beautiful. Seo Kang Joon can tell a story with his eyes.
Many didn't like the ending. It's one where, if you follow the symbolism & where the leads are in their lives, it makes complete sense. If you hadn't been looking for clues, you might be disappointed. I want to go back & catch all the things I missed when I was hating it. It may seriously become 1 of my favorite heart-wrenching dramas.
