A comforting K-drama with an intense plot that overshadows its healing vibe
This drama was according to me the most serene, soothing and areumdaun (Korean for beautiful) drama I had ever seen except for the main leads' story (more on that later). If not for that, this was one of the best healing kdrama for me. The cast brings out the warmth in each and every character. The concept and the vibe potrayed also has the "serenity" in it which amplifies it. But there are some very nice and uncool things I have to say about this drama:
1. Han JI Hyeon and other cast (halmeoni/grandma, the pet dog and other side characters) carried the show
Everything which was not meant to be a plot for us to keep wanting to watch for in the next episode ironically became the reason I continued to watched this show. The warmth they displayed, the support they might have given, the care they provided or maybe at least the interactions they had were what kept me wanting more.
2. One of my favorite kdrama relationship (Song Ha Dam and Cha Yougum)
The young couple studying in school suprise you with their kindness, love, care and internal chemistry.
I fell in love with how they helped each other in times of need, stayed strong for each other and worked through their relationship which is not quite common nowadays.
3. but all of this is overshadowed by our main leads' storyline
This is a gray zone for me, so lets agree to disagree if you do disagree.
I believe if the main ML was not connected to her past but actually a fresh character in her life with his cool, outgoing and warming presence he showed after his change would have been a better choice. It could have been then my favorite healing kdrama.
