This is a slice-of-life series that’s really worth following. From the very beginning, you can already tell it’s about emotional healing. I really like how the relationship between the leads develops gradually — it’s so sweet and lovely. The supporting characters around the main couple are also interesting and have their own stories. I especially like the female lead, who is understanding of people and adapts easily, as well as the male lead, who is always empathetic and ready to help others. The scenery and locations are absolutely beautiful too.

However, the pacing is very slow. Forty episodes feels way too long for a healing drama, especially the part after the female lead returns to her hometown — it gets quite boring. Several new characters are introduced but disappear quickly without contributing much to the story. When the female lead comes back to the city, it no longer felt as enjoyable as the earlier episodes. In the later part, I also didn’t feel very invested or involved in the tourism development plot of the area.

Overall, A calming, relaxed and warm healing drama with lovely lead chemistry and beautiful scenery, If you enjoy this kind of story, it’s definitely for you. but the extremely slow pacing and draggy second half made it hard to stay engaged till the end.
