Hmm... Hi Guys, there are some people who claim that it is sad ending, and there are also some who claim that it's a happy one. I will explain you some details then why this drama has SAD ENDING for GISEOK (Jang Dong Yoon).
1. When Hyerim (Chae Soo Bin) came to the park while crying and looking at Giseok's back from behind, and then decided to leave, she realized that Giseok might want to confess his feeling to her. It is true that both Giseok and Hyerim might be liking to each other because THEY ARE USED TO DO EVERYTHING TOGETHER SINCE BABY. But, after the new guy Dongyeong (Jinyoung) came and made Hyerim's heart fluttered, she seemed to be affected by his charm, and SHE COULD NOT HELP IT, just like her father did. That's why after hyerim saw what her father did then crying and dongyeong tried to comfort her, she asked to dongyeong "why do you love me? It's just one month after we met" then dongyeong answered, "no reason for that, no reason to love someone, you just couldn't help it". Then hyerim realized her true feeling. She was fluttered toward dongyeong. However, she was too comfortable with giseop and she was also afraid to hurt giseok who had been together with her for so long. She was once afraid that she could become cheater if she accepted dongyeong's feeling. However, she could not help it.
2. The phone call that Hyerim received when she entered her room at the end scene, it is actually from Jinyoung where she mentioned: "See you later in Seoul". This drama clearly said Dongyeong is from Seoul. It means Hyerim and Dongyeong have been together (dated).
3. At the end scene when Giseok hugged Hyerim, he said that "I should say good bye" and then "a tight hug for an ending to warm your heart." The one who hugged first is Giseok, he might remember that Hyerim ever said that hug may have meaning that it is not ended yet. Giseok may want that it is not ending for both of them. But in fact, Hyerim already went to another guy and she really couldn't help it.

4. Hyerim seemed to like Giseok because they have been together and Giseok is always there for her. Meanwhile, her heart fluttered for the first time because of Dongyeong.



I feel so so so bad for Giseok, he was there actually when Hyerim was with Dongyeong, whether it was when the raining (he even got fever because of that and Hyerim even did not know about this), he saw Hyerim cried and was comforted by Dongyeong when Hyerim knew the fact about her dad and the piano teacher, but yeaah... once again... This special drama seems want to convey us (the viewer) that heart or feeling is hard to be controlled.

Feeling is like season! (It's CHANGEABLE in particular period, but then it comes back to its certain season in a circle in a year). The title is "IF" we were the season. It might mean. They are NOT the season. They change, but they cannot go back to their particular period/time. So I consistently think that maybe the director wants to give this message to the viewer.
Hyerim once rejected Dongyeong (2nd male lead) because she previously assumed that she NEEDS TO BE Loyal. However, she then literally changed.

But, Honestly, in Real Life, I do think that someone like Giseom (who keeps being there with us is more worthy to have our love).


The End
Sorry for the long comment, but I also hope you read this comment carefully and can retrieve the real meaning :)


First Love always bring such painful memory, especially when we are teenagers.. hehe :) Regards, Korean Drama Lover :D

There's a reason why this Drama Special is the second most watched on KBS WORLD's channel! Great story, great acting and undeniable chemistry between Dong Yoon and Soobin!! ♥️

[janinesanchez]

The saddest part of this story is when they have a mutual feelings to each other but end up not telling their true feelings. This tear me up so much. 💔

[markorlindanongbsap]

"I've been ignoring you, how could I be well" really made me cry

[halimahrizkia]

"i've been ignoring you, how could i be well?"
the most painful line, my heart hurts

[lalitthapa]

Love the way the ending matches with the title.
The beginning of a warm spring symbolizes their relationship-sweet, playful and warm just like a friendship. But towards the end it is a winter signifying feelings like hopelessness, sadness just as cold as the season itself.
Buttt this isn't a sad ending cause a winter also paves the way for spring to come again.
And as the hero tightly hugges the heroine, he is giving her the ending she wanted and hope for a new beginning-a new spring.
Hence, if we were a season, we'd be winter

[zakihaniffa]

Just want to share my story with you all
I had a friend just like him. caring, kind and always cheering for me. He was there watching me dating other guys, breaking up and getting hurt but he silently comforted me. I regret not realizing it sooner that the someone who never gonna leave my side would always be him. My best guy friend ❤️
Aaaand to us its a happy ending We are dating for 4 years now and soon getting married. Im glad i realized what I want and who I love the most
Edit: hey everyone.. It's 5 years for our relationship now. I'm so happy after reading all these comments 🥺🥺
Thank you so much 😘

"I've been ignoring you. How could I be well?" that line broke my heart! I want a part 2!!!

[cinaidamarie]

I've watched this yesterday and I realize some things. Hyerim and Giseok both have feelings for each other and they know it. They've been together since their diapers and how their feelings for each grow each season. Hyerim have some issues with her father. Like why would his father cheat on her mother? They're married, they have her, they've been together through thick and thin then like what was the reason? When the supporting lead confesses to her, she can't lie she have feelings for him, the way it makes her heart flutter when she first saw him and his cheesy lines. Maybe it made her feel things she never felt with Giseok before, because he's straightforward unlike Giseok. The reason she didn't accepted him is because she doesnt want to be like her father. She know for herself that she loves Giseok. And when she ask her father what was the reason for his cheating, he said he can't help and tries to avoid it but he can't. Hyerim doesn't want to be like his father. Although Donggyeong made her heart flutter and feel things, she felt like she would cheat on the man she loves even though he never confesses to her, that's why she rejected him. And she's afraid Giseok and her will experience the same situation just like her father and mother. She wants them to be separated and give each other some time until the right season comes. Because true love never fade from someone's heart.

wow Chae Soobin did a great job here, her acting skills are amazing I hope she get more attention she deserves

[cha-nomz]

That ending scene where Hyerim could see the train already arriving and her face suddenly changes at the sight of it because she knows it's about time for her to leave Giseok. And Giseok could somehow sense it too, so he hugged Hyerim to finally say goodbye... tightly... but Hyerim didn't hug him back. And it showed a flashback to when Hyerim said "A tight hug is good for an ending. That seems more heartwarming. And it feels like their story hasn't ended yet."
So although Hyerim didn't hug himback, she did close her eyes and bury her head on his shoulder. Like agreeing that yes, this is not yet the end for us.

As the title goes, if they were a season, they eventually have to change, they are bound to end.

That, everyone, made my heart broken beyond repair.

[professord.dragon]

I loved the fact that he never begged for her love. He is a MAN..🤟🤟

[patriciaribeiro]

Anyone watching this while on quarentine? Stay home and be safe guys!

[vaporgel]

this drama doesn’t need a season 2. its beautiful ending deserves to remain untouched. i still cry every time :'((

[AylinLove]

I don' get why people still have questions.

It's super clear. She didn't went out with the other guy. She told him no. But she couldn't tell his childhood friend that she likes him. The ending with the hug is a confessing, saying it's not the end for them (just like she said while watching the movie with him).

She said that she felt guilty after eating with the new boy, lying to his childhood friend. Her father cheated on her mother. He didn't had a reason, he said he just wanted to gift her the music sheets.
She felt guilty, she felt like she did the same as her father. (Maybe because her heart really fluttered for the new boy. She even left her bike and walked with him home FOR NO REASON like her father). She knew the pain of cheating from her father, so she knew how her childhood friend would feel. She punished herself for doing something bad as her father. She didn't went out with the boy because she always loved her childhood friend. But she couldn't forgive herself for what she did, so she lied to her childhood friend.

But it's still a happy ending.

[SusanV]

This drama is so short and simple but it pulls at the heart strings. I came here expecting a normal/cheesy love triangle but ended up in a ball of emotions. I understand why Hyerim decided not to take that next step with Giseok. Her father's words about not wanting to cheat but couldn't help it was too much for her. She didn't want to take the risk with her best friend, but the ending gives us closure that maybe they still have a chance at love.

It hurts when you have someone in your heart, but you can’t have them in your arms.

[chandandey]

When he says that " i've been ignoring you, how could I be well" and " a tight hug for an ending to warm your heart" that was touched my heart and I'm very emotional that time .But this movie is really good and this could be season 2 .So I'm waiting for 2nd part .Thank you for uploading this .Lots of love 💓💓
