Introduction
Christmas is a time of holidays. Students who study overseas come back to their families, people take a break from work and try their best to relax, and couples spend quality time together to catch up on all the missed calls, messages, and frustration of the daily hustle and bustle of life and work. And this is also a time for K-drama lovers to catch up on the top K-dramas that they have missed so far.

When the Weather is Fine

A simple K-drama that’s set in a beautiful and peaceful countryside. When the Weather is Fine focuses on two individuals who find warmth in each other during a cold winter.
