mid with good casting
the plot was really interesting and the casting was pretty good too. But some of the plot lines just didn't really make much sense. like Yejin and Eric didn't have much of a conclusion. he seemed to have feelings for her but that just fizzled out? and don't even get me started on them riding on AHS's coat tails with the glaringly obvious callout to business proposal. The FL imo was a pretty strong character, not your typical damsel in distress, but she was a tad bit cringe 😬. The villagers, like any other drama were cute and funny.all in all its an okay drama. not the best but not the worst.

Poorly written and the FL is not giving
With Ahn Hyeo Seop and Kim Bum in the cast, what could have gone wrong? It’s the FL. The FL’s character is poorly written, and you will be annoyed with her at the start. The breakup scene at the beginning shows how insensitive she is that you really cannot root for her character. I know it’s fiction but it doesn’t make sense on the approach that the FL can sold out the items. I know some of the scenes are for comic relief to put the FL on a high horse, but it’s like the show treats their audience as dumb, and would just accept the scenes as it is, and accept the FL as someone great. Perhaps I am expecting more, because this is Ahn Hyeoand Kim Bum who has good kdramas on their plate., so the story should not be like that. But I just cannot go on. Chemistry is not there too. It was painful to watch. Another thing, the color grading of the whole show is not quite right. ML is supposedly a farmer but the color grading and lights made him pale and smooth, but supposedly, he’s a farmer.Was this review helpful to you?
Should have been shorter
If you like rides on the tractor and the slower pace of the countryside, the first seven episodes of Sold Out on You are perfect. The characters' traits are quickly established and then repeatedly reaffirmed. A solid supporting cast surrounds the ML and FL but contributes little to the story beyond support. Familiar tropes are introduced and breezily resolved. Dramatic tension and substantive reveals are largely withheld until Episodes 8–12, when earlier breadcrumbs are gathered and new elements introduced to bring the series to its feel-good conclusion. In their opposites-attract, caretaker/wounded dynamic, the ML and FL establish their initial positions so thoroughly that the attraction itself feels less compelling, though viewers who enjoy the leads will certainly get plenty of screen time. Given the material, I would have preferred fewer episodes, but the elements of a better series were clearly present. Sigh.Was this review helpful to you?
Most of the women were written horribly. cuz why were they awful people?
I liked the main couple and their development. the other couples were cute too.
why is a seller so famous? what is that about?
I was bored with this like 40% of the time. had to force myself to finish the last 2 episodes.

2nd ML no bueno.
What I liked. Everything in the country side. All the characters there and the general vibes. I liked how FL is a shopping host. Never seen that before. Equally ML formulates cosmetics. So, in terms of jobs I haven’t seen before in Kdramas, this show has that going for it. I liked the young girl in the countryside and her connection to ML’s past. That plotline I liked. The show is mildly comedic, so that’s good. The romance parts are pretty good.For me, the most infuriating aspect of this show is the second male lead. I rarely complain about appearances, but who are we kidding here? Put this man up against ML and are we really expected to believe he stands a chance? His dirty blond hair makes him look like a child. I really, really did not enjoy his character throughout the show. So pushy with FL. If you removed him from the story entirely, nothing changes, that’s how irrelevant I found his character. Granted, the show provided a reasonable explanation for why he tries so hard with FL, but I still didn’t care. Adding to my frustration, his sister is equally useless.
The sleepwalking scenes gradually got out of hand. I felt they were over the top on how convenient everything worked out to get them together. I'm fairly certain she could even do my taxes while sleepwalking.

Surprisingly poignant comedy series
My score may change as the series goes on, but I'm really in love with what I've seen.The show so far is nicely structured (I love the repeat of the tractor vs car standoffs and the contrast of umbrella moments) as well as creatively and tastefully filmed/edited (the "daily routine" sequence in the first episode is excellently put together).
I'm a fan of "city person in the countryside" themes (e.g. Once Upon a Small Town, Hometown Cha Cha Cha, Love Take Two, Summer Strike, When the Weather is Fine, etc.), so I'm naturally biased toward this type of comedy. But what I really love is the way the show swerves between unhinged silliness and melancholic vulnerability.
I've seen some comments from people who find the sleepwalking/talking far-fetched, but my son sometimes has episodes very similar to hers, so I can assert that it's very believably portrayed. The details are great too, like her slow-blinking at Mechoori and bumping her head on doors.
Edit: I bumped up the rewatch score to 10/10 for two reasons: first, I'm having to force myself not to rewatch the first 4 episodes because I'm trying to finish other series; second, I'm presently addicted to YouTube clips of highlights and have watched certain key moments several dozen times.

Disapponting
The premise is promising, but the drama does not deliver. You can guess what the whole plot will be from the first episode. It's obvious how their stories are connected and what the big clash towards the end is going to be about.I liked the rural area people and vibes, the simplicity and the sort of healing atmosphere. However, the main characters and their storylines do not give enough to be interested in watching this to the end.
The SML is sort of just there, does not pose any "threat" to the ML, I am not even sure why he is there, because he does not show any emotion apart from smilling sweetly at the FL.
I would say the minor characters in the village are carrying the show but it's not enough to keep you interested.
The main characters are also kind of bland, not many emotions at all and I am sure the actors are capable of so much more if the characters were written differently.
From the 6 episode onwards, you can sort of tell how the story will go forward and I just don't like predictible stories like this.

RomCom que cumple con todo lo que nos gusta.
Empezó un poco lenta pero cada episodio fue superando al anterior y se convirtió en una de las más divertidas y bien concluidas comedias románticas de los últimos años. Las referencias a BOF, BP y a clichés que nos encantan me hicieron reír a carcajadas, la química de la pareja protagonista me llenó de dopamina y la historia sobre culpa, insomnio, el efecto prolongado de los somniferos, industria del K Beauty, televentas y relaciones afectivas familiares, de Jeong de pueblito y parche laboral estuvieron perfectamente desarrolladas sin dejar ningún cabo suelto, un final completo y redondo como nos gusta.Was this review helpful to you?
Funny>Drama>Emotional>Romance
Sweet lil Melo with it's funny and emotional moments.I was about to rate it 8.5 stars towards the end, but ended up rating it 8, as that's what it felt like all along. I liked the ending and some other arbitrary reasons were making me rate a lil higher (~8.25) but I think 8 should be fine for this.
The story is okay with its twist and turn with some emotional moments as well. The funny side characters were also landing the scene most of the time. The editing was good too, Hence I had no major complaint. Overall, the series kept me engaging enough that I enjoyed the good parts and wasn't too bored at the weakest parts.
I especially enjoyed the FL, who I saw for the first time in this drama. Her acting and charm made me stick to the episodes when I was about close and get up. The ML was okay too. Not to mention some side characters were also quite funny.
As for some of the criticism of the people who rated it quite low, I couldn't make sense of them at all honestly. Their reasons seemed to me extarnally influenced mostly. I could understand someone who would rate it as low as 7, or even 6 in some extreme cases, but over all this series avg should be around 8 honestly.
In the end, I would recommend it as a good and fun one time watch !

I really liked the cameos from the main actors previous work the songs, the characters et cetera I thought that was really fun and I’m glad everybody pretty much got a happy ending!I would definitely recommend this drama if you want something easy watching with a real storyline and plot to follow
