I like this drama but that piggyback scene is so annoying, not just in this drama, it's just that I don't see…
I've never been in Korea, but I know cities of type you described, both small and big, but I have never seen piggyback custom, only in dramas from east Asia :)
Well it s not sooo bad. It s ok nothing special, but I did not have too high expectations. Interestingly enough for k drama lovers.
It's not boring but it not WOW.
I m not into this drama because like you said it has elements of lot s of other dramas, And I personally I m not excited to wait for the new episode. It s not bad but just OK. It s better to watched it like a marathon later. Then it could be more interesting when your focus is only on one drama.
