Spring is often associated with love, fresh beginnings, and warmth, making it a perfect theme for K-dramas. Many dramas include ‘봄’ (bom) or ‘spring’ in their titles, symbolizing renewal and change. Let’s explore some well-known ones by breaking down their original Korean titles!
1. One Spring Night – 봄밤 (Bom-bam)
Korean Title Breakdown:
봄 (bom, spring) + 밤 (bam, night) – ‘Spring Night’
This title is simple yet poetic. It reflects the fleeting yet beautiful moments of love, just like a cool spring night. The drama itself follows a mature, realistic romance that slowly blooms over time.
2. At a Distance, Spring Is Green – 멀리서 보면 푸른 봄 (Meol-li-seo Bo-myeon Pu-reun Bom)
Korean Title Breakdown:
멀리서 (meol-li-seo, from a distance) + 보면 (bo-myeon, if you look) + 푸른 (pu-reun, blue/green) + 봄 (bom, spring)
The title is inspired by a saying that means “From a distance, spring looks green,” implying that youth seems beautiful from the outside but in reality, it is filled with challenges and struggles. This matches the drama’s deep exploration of student life, friendships, and personal growth.
3. Spring Waltz – 봄의 왈츠 (Bom-ui Waltz)
Korean Title Breakdown:
봄 (bom, spring) + 의 (ui, possessive ‘of’) + 왈츠 (wal-cheu, waltz) – ‘Waltz of Spring’
The title paints an image of springtime love unfolding gracefully, like a waltz. This melodrama, part of Yoon Seok-ho’s Season Series, is a story of love, destiny, and nostalgia.
4. Spring Turns to Spring – 봄이 오나 봄 (Bom-i O-na Bom)
Korean Title Breakdown:
봄이 오나? (Bom-i o-na?, Is spring coming?) + 봄 (bom, spring)
The phrase “봄이 오나?” (Bom-i o-na?) means “Is spring coming?” but the second “봄” (bom) also refers to the season itself. This clever wordplay hints at transformation, which fits the drama’s body-switching comedy perfectly!
5. Love in Spring – 춘정지란 (Chun-jeong-ji-ran)
Korean Title Breakdown:
춘 (chun, spring, from 春 in Hanja) + 정 (jeong, love/passion) + 지란 (ji-ran, chaos/turmoil)
Unlike the other titles, this one uses ‘춘’ (chun) instead of ‘봄’ (bom), showing the influence of Hanja (Chinese characters). The title means “Spring’s Passionate Chaos”, capturing the drama’s historical BL romance filled with unexpected love and personal struggles.
Spring-themed K-dramas beautifully capture themes of love, change, and second chances. Whether it’s a heartwarming romance or a deep coming-of-age story, each of these dramas brings a fresh breeze of emotions. Which one have you watched, and which is on your watchlist? Do let us know.
