The Story

 

A young woman leaves behind the daily grind of city life to spend a year living off her savings in a small seaside town.  She quickly befriends a shy local librarian who teaches her how to live in the present and embrace the simpler things in life.  But a current string of vandalism brings back a painful time for the town residents, and most especially her new friend.  And when those petty crimes spin out of control, the effects will rock the lives of those who had hoped to leave the past behind.

Should I Watch

 

Summer Strike - Unspoiled Review

"Summer Strike" starts as a warm, slow-burn romance that turns into a darker mystery drama.  The transition seems a bit jarring, but if you enjoy this combination, it is worth watching.  While I'm not sure that it felt like the "healing" drama it was advertised to be, the story is interesting and the leads are sweet. I found the romance element much more captivating than the mystery plot, but if you don't like your romance muddied up with more serious storylines, you might want a more straightforward love story.   I give "Summer Strike" an 8 out of 10 ramen.
