KTO Miss Flower Spring Review


Miss Flower Spring is a promotional video featuring the breathtaking sights of Korea during spring. Watching this short video was a truly heartwarming experience: the beauty of spring and a story of love accompanied by a musical masterpiece of Juan Han (the same composer who made original sound tracks for "Christmas in August", a Korean movie) will surely make you want to go to Korea or fall in love.

미스플라워 봄: A Love Story, in the language of flowers.

미스플라워 봄 (Miss Flower Spring) starts with the scenery of  철쭉 or Azalea (Mid-May ~ Early June). These lovely Azaleas are from Hapcheon, Gyeongnam Province. I've never seen such a wonderful scenery, together with the touching background music, I felt a great longing to be in the place where the lady stood, surrounded by the lovely Azaleas, simply admiring and enjoying the view.

Azalea: Passion and Fragility

The Azaleas were followed by the refreshing Persimmon trees (Mid May~ Early June) of the Naganeupseong Folk Village. The different shades of green was truly relaxing; Miss Flower Spring described the Persimmon tree as a beautiful resting place. 그 감나무를 정말 아름다워요.

The two continue their tour; a cute side of their love story is revealed. Well, it seemed cute to me. The girl hits the guy for his carelessness.

Their love story progresses, the blooming Cherry Blossoms represented their feelings of young love. To couples who still have no travel destination for May, you might want to add Korea to one of your destinations. The Cherry Blossoms bloom from Mid-April~ Early May.

The next place the two visited was "Green Tea", it reminded me of the Hagdang-hagdang Palayan or the Banaue Rice Terraces of the Philippines.

Miss Flower Spring continues and shows more of the Green Tea scenery. 

As I continued watching the video, I felt the same lightness in my heart, I told myself that someday, I will definitely, definitely walk in that "Green Tea", while listening to a good piano piece. The Green Tea would be good place to shoot a nostalgic part of a movie, it's such a beautiful sight that would make one feel emotional. 

Green Tea represents Memories in the video.

Of all the places featured in Miss Flower Spring, the Cole Flower (Mid-April ~ Mid-May) was my favorite. It reminded me of those touching scenes from anime (Japanese Animation), flashbacks of happy childhood.

Another beautiful floral scene follows the Cole Flowers. This time, it's tulips (Early April ~ Early May). The bright colors of the tulips contrasting the dark green leaves is truly an eye-candy for flower lovers and photographers. In Miss Flower Spring, Tulips represent the Declaration of Love.

The next scene showed in the video was the Green Barley (Mid-April ~ Mid-May), another relaxing field to be in. With the bright blue sky on top of the wide Green Barley field, it is truly another place I'd love to go, if ever I could go to Korea someday.
The last part of this mini-love story is...

I may be bad with my words, my descriptions might have not given justice to how amazing Korea is during spring, but I do believe that a picture is worth a thousand words so with the screenshots, I hope that I have encouraged you to watch the video (it's really worth it).
