Variety - Completed 2025

Incredibly relaxing and heartwarming. A glimpse into the quiet rhythms of small-town life. The final episode was especially emotional. The whole cast was wonderful, with Cha Tae Hyun standing out as a steady, caring presence for both the part timers and the customers. But ultimately, it’s the locals who are the true stars of the show.

Season 3 (and 2) will probably always be my favorites, but this season, in some ways, felt more personal and raw. Dex, Pani, Si Eon and Kian all had vulnerable moments, that were very moving to watch, but also felt kinda intrusive. I cried at the end, but I always do. 

Maybe it's really the end of the road for these travel buddies, but I hope, it's not the end for Kian exploring the world. His time with the two young Sherpas was one of the highlights this season. I was a little bummed about Dex leaving early at first, but then realized it was actually the perfect way to bring the series full circle.
