Spring Fever

Yoon Bom relocates to a quiet rural town hoping distance will soften a recent heartbreak. She keeps to herself at first, teaching and trying to rebuild a steady rhythm, until an unexpected bond forms with Seon Jae-gyu, a gruff but generous local who lives by his own rules. Their chemistry is slow and uneven, shaped by the town's small rituals, a circle of coworkers and neighbors, and past wounds that resurface in ordinary moments. The series follows how small acts of kindness, awkward conversations, and shared responsibilities open Bom to new warmth without erasing what she’s lost.

Released in 2026, Spring Fever is directed by Park Won-gook and created by Kim A-jung, Baek Min-a, and Kim Jung-a, with Ahn Bo-hyun and Lee Ju-bin leading a compact ensemble cast.

As of early 2026 the show hasn’t won major industry awards or high-profile nominations, though individual performances have drawn attention from viewers and reviewers alike.

Spring Fever has resonated with audiences who appreciate understated romance and rural settings, prompting discussions on social media about pacing, chemistry, and depictions of small-town life. Viewers have pointed to the series when recommending shows that favor character moments over loud plot turns, and it’s helped fuel interest in quieter, everyday dramas.

Critics and viewers have often praised the leads’ performances and the show’s balance of humor and sadness, reflected in a modest average score of 7.0 out of 10 from early votes. Themes include recovery after loss, community ties, the challenges of teaching in a small town, and how gentle routines can rebuild trust. The tone stays light enough for laughs but grounded enough to handle emotional setbacks, making it a good pick for people who like slow-burn relationships and character-driven stories.
