KTO Miss Flower Spring Review : Be Inspired!

I definitely was inspired when I watched this video from the Korean Tourism Organization.

It is serendipity that I stumbled across Miss Flower Spring. I was feeling down and I am the type of person who feels happy when she sees flowers. What better way can someone be comforted other than seeing her favorite things set in her favorite place :)

I like how not only my eyes feasted on the stunning visuals but also how my brain worked on taking in the information given about the places and what the flowers symbolizes as portrayed in the story line. I also like how Miss Spring has the feel of the Korean movies that I love, like Moment to Remember, Sassy Girl and Windstruck to name a few.

Remember the scene below in Moment to Remember wherein the lead actress drank the lead actor's cola thinking it was hers?

I was reminded of that scene at the beginning of this video where the female lead grabbed and drank the male lead's water. The female lead has the same spunk as the lead actress in Sassy Girl, and the scenery reminded me so much of certain scenes in Windstruck.

Another thing I liked about Miss Flower Spring is it led me to see the flowers in a different light. The persimmon and azalea stood out for me since they bloom around my birth month and I fancied their colors.

After watching, I was left with hope just like the new beginning spring brings--hope that love will find me or if not, at least the world is beautiful. Although the highlight of the video are the places and the sceneries, it cannot be ignored how it silently promoted spring festivals which is coming soon already in Korea and definitely one of the must-attend to events in the country. The loveline showed is the cherry on top of the ice cream.

I would definitely like to visit Korea someday and see these beauties for myself. Hopefully, you feel the same way too after watching the video and reading my review. Just in case you missed the locations and the flowers featured, you can refer to the list below:
