Light, fluffy and undercooked. A recipe for mild entertainment!
The drama started off with a fun, chaotic energy that blended "city girl to village life" vibes in an entertaining way. However, that initial charm quickly fizzled out and the middle episodes turned into a snoozefest. The pacing became uneven and there was little to no character development.
One of the most frustrating parts was the lack of proper communication from both the ends. The ML started off as a total green flag, consistently trying to communicate throughout the first nine episodes. But then, in the last three, they suddenly flipped his character around for the sake of drama. It felt unnecessary and forced, like they threw in a cliché conflict just to stir things up, even though the story didn’t need it.
At first, it was the female lead hiding things that frustrated me. Then came this sudden “twist,” which only made it worse. No one really communicated about why they did what they did, and even when they did talk, it didn’t feel convincing or satisfying.
As for the romance, it was okay at its best. The leads shared some cute moments here and there and their chemistry had potential, but it became stale and repetitive as we the story progressed further due to the stagnant storyline. It honestly might have worked better as a straightforward office romance. I don’t mind clichés, but they need to be executed with purpose, not just thrown in to fill screen time.
The second couple FL's brother and best friend were just cringey as a romantic pair. While I appreciated their roles individually in the life of FL, their dynamic as a couple didn’t work for me at all. They seemed to be added for that extra comedic relief, but unfortunately, their scenes didn’t bring much to the table. They were funny with everyone except when they were together. I feel the story would have been exactly the same without their romance.
One saving grace was the Potato Lab team and the villagers. They injected some much-needed humor, chaos and a certain kind of warmth into the one dimensional story. I think I enjoyed that part the most compared to all the others here.
Overall, I would recommend this as a one time light watch. It’s the kind of show you can keep up with casually while it’s airing, fun in moments but not exactly gripping. The vibes are there and there’s some charm in the chaos, but it definitely struggles with pacing and feels like it’s just throwing tropes at the wall to see what sticks. With better writing and stronger character development, this could have hit way harder. As it stands, it’s a decent filler drama when you are not looking for anything too deep.
