Han Ji-Min plays a strong willed librarian who, just off of a withering relationship with the arrogant son of her father's employer, happens to meet a pharmacist (Jung Hae-In, Something in the Rain) and falls, head over heels for him, despite all the social conventions that would argue against it. She is very convincing in her portrayal of a wide range of emotions. Her true beauty didn't strike me until a few episodes in when she began to show the more vulnerable side of the character.
This series adds an interesting complication to the usual relationship issues in K-dramas: the pharmacist has a son whose mother abandoned them at birth. There are also some intense side plots that explore Korean culture and the heavy toll it takes on women. One Spring Night gives more depth to many of the characters and paints an overall more somber picture.
Half the cast of Something in the Rain seems to be in this series as well as music by Rachel Yamagada. Overall this series is a bit more mature, three-dimensional, edgy and more realistic than Something in the Rain, which is why I give it one more star.
