Farm romcom

I had high expectations for this show and although the first few episodes were entertaining and funny, it got boring really fast. i ended up lowkey forgetting i started this show and stopped watching it for like 2 months.

it had potential but it was so hard to get through especially the last 2 episodes. i feel like this show would’ve done a lot better if it released all episodes at once instead of making people wait for a new episode release.

i also didn’t really like the FL and her acting in this particular kdrama. this was my first time seeing her act so i didn’t know what to expect but most of the time i found her irritating and the whole quirky not like other girls persona doesn’t really fit her.

however i liked the chemistry between the main couple, they were very cute and delivered good scenes together, as well as the side couple! i lowkey liked the brother and the best friend more than the main one but regardless both couples were cute.

one thing that also irked me a lot was the product placements and how they would dedicate a whole ass scene to the ad. it didn’t even feel like i was watching a show??? im talking about that gummy jelly thing they were promoting like ??? the entire scene was just dedicated to them eating that shit for promotion it was so irritating. but not only that like every product placement scene was so obvious and it would take me out of the show completely… there’s some shows that incorporate product placements really well and make it go unnoticeable so its definitely possible for product placements to be good!

anyway i liked the OST, it was very cute. a lot of the times it felt like characters were trying to be overly quirky and it kinda annoyed me- even ML’s cliche broody CEO personality pissed me off 😭 but yeah the only complaint i really have is how the characters were written- otherwise it had its funny moments and i liked the dynamic between the FL and her best friend!

i don’t know if i would really recommend it because its actually nothing special but it would maybe be a good watch if you get to watch all episodes at once.
