Personal Insights
My Review and Rating
‘Serendipity’s Embrace’ is a short, 8 episode romantic drama that tells the story of first love and second chances. It is sweet and binge-worthy. The leads have a nice chemistry, there is a fair share of warmth and comedy, and the drama manages to fit an awful lot into 8 episodes. We get some nice secondary characters and a relatively drama-free tale of romance.
Unfortunately, the multiple storylines are also its biggest weakness. By trying to pack so much in, we lose some of the focus on the lead couple and their growth together. All in all, this drama makes a nice, quick watch, the characters are likable and the story is pleasant. But I wouldn’t say there is anything exceptional about it. The pieces were there, but it just came off feeling a bit ordinary and rushed for me. I give ‘Serendipity’s Embrace’ a 7 out 10 ramen.
