The first couple of episodes are a bit chaotic and don't really match the rest of the story. It feels a little like the writers changed direction a bit... but it is definitely worth persisting. I have never been interested in beer either, but it gives a suitable background for the rural location, the village life, the corporate greed and variety of characters.

The FL initially put me off with her overtly loud, brash persona in the first episode or two, but once she calmed down and became more genuine, I loved her. The ML, initially avoidant and sensitive, seems to change almost 180 degrees (which is a little jarring, but I just accepted and moved on) once he sets his sights on being with the FL and she becomes his safe port. And all I can say about their chemistry is - every woman deserves to be looked at the way the ML looks at the FL. (Kudos to Lee Jongwon for portraying this perfectly!)

The 2nd couple are an interesting mix and getting together is a story of growth for both of them. The villagers, love them or hate them, are the sorts of people you do find in a small town. The corporate sycophants', well, what else do you expect in a k-drama!?

Overall, a refreshing, enjoyable romance and one I highly recommend!
