One Spring Night has one of the best original soundtracks; given the storyline, the acting, and everything in between, the story is a perfect romantic drama to melt your heart.

A highly underrated drama and the perfect blend of all genres, the show is packed with emotions and keeps you hooked until the end. The characters are not dull, or repetitive which might be a problem for many shows. It is a drama about life and teaches you a lot about it and is definitely worth the watch.

A cute story about a bunch of friends living together, the story is simple, adorable, and nothing too extensive or elaborated. It is like a breather for the people who are stressed and want to watch something to release their stress and enjoy something funny, romantic, and adorable. It is worth the watch for those who like college romances.
