Kim Ji Won, the female lead (whose character happens to have the same name as SJS's character) was really chatty and cute.
This was just a sweet little romance developing story. It's not groundbreaking, or even exciting. It would be a nice rainy Saturday time pass. I don't remember the music if there was any. Not really suited to re-watch.

The story is pretty straightforward, no great twists and surprises, it delivers just what it promises: a nice low-key story about two people getting to know each other and falling in love. To boot, it offers some funny and heartfelt interactions with the rest of the minor cast and is an all-around feel-good experience.
Took me a while to warm up to So Ji Sub's character because he was SO introverted for almost half the show, but warm up to him I did (though I'm starting to wonder whether this is something to do with the actor himself, all the roles I've seen him in so far, I've had a similar problem, apart from where the character was explicitly introverted). The main female lead was sweet enough, though ultimately a bit forgettable, which I suppose is what most ordinary people are like so in this sense this added a touch of realism to the story.
All in all, nothing was over-the-top - either in a bad or a great way. An enjoyable little piece.

So Ji Sub, learn to talk.
To sum it up in that many words, So Ji Sub used in this drama: "...".Honestly, I don't know where to start. He didn't say anything and it feels like even some support characters got more dialog scenes than him. Kim Ji Won and the singer from the OST where the only ones who were talking.
W.T.F.
// Really? Even the review needs to be at least 500 characters long? This is much more than So Ji Sub talked in the drama? How can I review more than he was talking? Argh. Lost time of my life.

A Short, Unmemorable Melodrama
This is a short melodrama that isn't terrible but isn't anything to write home about either. It was originally released as 10 episodes that are 12 minutes each, but has also been combined into a movie. I don't think that it is worth going out of your way to watch but I also do not think that it is so terrible that it is a never watch.Story: You have a male lead and a female lead in Jeju, a place unfamiliar to them, and some of the typical Kdrama romance tropes ensure. The lighting of the show is muted and dark and the pacing is slow, similar to melodramas. Nothing particular special or unexpected really happens.
Acting: Kim Ji Won plays a sort of generic, sweet, bright girl. So Ji Sub plays a generic male who has such difficulty expressing his feelings that he either doesn't talk or gives ambiguous explanation.
Music: I think there is literally one song, so the OST isn't that deep.
Rewatch Value: The story isn't particularly charming or unique to rewatch.
Overall, this is either a quick, forgettable watch or a drama to pass on.

This is healing phase from a breakup No Romance
One boring male lead fell in love with a very interesting female lead. A 2 hour movie with no chemistry at all! I like Kim Ji Won's character with the same name with So Ji Sub's character, what coincidence! I mistakenly watched it twice because I couldn't remember what it was all about when I saw it last year.One thing I like is that ML is kind and very nice to FL when she was sick. What I don't like is that some scenes were like only FL was talking and ML was not engaging, he doesn't talk much. And no romance not until the end. Liking someone is hard, I felt FL has to initiate and confess her interest to see him again. That's tough I don't know if I can do it.

Story
It didn't had much story..but it was ok..and i didn't felt there is anything lacking cuz it was a mini drama..if it was a long one it wouldn't be enough..
There were many funny moments...and also moments which force us to fall in love..
Cast
So Ji Sub- he didn't have enough lines...but!!!!! he always used his lovely face to express..those master's sun expressions were there..ahhh i must stop now cuz i will write billion sentences about how good he was..
any way even you are not a fan of him you surely love his character here...
Kim Ji Won-i was not a fan of kim ji won before this...but awww.she was so adorable here.and now i love her.^_^
Kim Yeong Wung- he was funny,..
Kim Mi Kyung- didn't notice it was her..but later realized she was kinda cupid there.
Music
Nothing much to say ..but there was a cute song...
Rewatch Value
I don't re watch..so not the person to talk about that. :P

Serendipitous
For some, the drama is a cliche, or boring as it is like a simple love story. It may not have the action, heavy crying or even love scenes, but the conversations convey much more emotions. Though the female Kim Ji Ho has more dialogues, the male Kim Ji Ho has conveyed his feelings through actions.I like the subtleness of the story. It seems their meeting together from the airport to the hostel and then Rose's lodging is serendipitous. Thanks to Hyun Chul - who seems to be everywhere, playing different roles just to bring these two Kim Ji Ho together.
This is one of So Ji Sub's subtle and quiet performance, very much different from his action dramas. When he was younger, he portrayed characters who have deep emotions beneath a quiet personality. His character may be misunderstood as he does not say many words.
As for Kim Ji Won, am not so familiar with her other dramas. Her character may be somewhat talkative and assuming but tried to understand the other person. Though she had first liked him, she did not openly confess for fear of rejection or perhaps making him uncomfortable.
I like the places they went especially the one with so many trees. I wish I can go there someday.

Contemplative and atmospheric
This is another one for my list of contemplative and atmospheric shows. Admittedly not everyone's cup of tea but I just love these types shows which move in a seemingly real-time pace.We have a stoic guy and a bubbly girl who keeps the conversation going - I absolutely loved it.
The story isn't new and it's definitely been done before - before sunrise, before sunset, hello stranger. Strangers meeting in an unfamiliar city or in this case unfamiliar island.
Again not everyone's cup of tea but if you're like me who loves slow burns like these - Main leads just talking, walking looking around and talking again with a bit of music or narration then this is it.
