YUP ..
You have really nicely crystallised the essence of the show <3

Look forward to hearing how it fared through your lens ;-p after the return trip to the show

LOL

Just took a stroll through your Drama Iist and ratings you gave ..

I see a significant overlap with shows I liked .. so I'll take a 70-80% risk and suggest you go ahead and watch
At least 3-4 episodes .. and then take a call ..

Umm .. Depends on your taste.

Some people LIKE dramatic irony - to be in the know of characters and events - and wait to see how it all gets tied up and joints revealed .. How the arcs marked space and time between two very far off points for the characters / story.

Some people prefer to follow a more linear story structure with minimal loops and backstories and complex narrative structures.

So if you belong to the second then this story will not only be confusing for you but also frustrating .. It's HIGHLY character arc linked and you'll have to have a holding space to connect the dots ..

I played detective and dug out nuggets in the show because there is SO much to be INFERRED I the show.

I'll go and check your Drama Loves and see if I can predict if you will like this show ;-p

where is the trailer?

It's one of Park Min Young;s best character acts (along with Her Private Life and Healer) as well a superb MAIN ROLE debut of Seo Kang Jun

<3 HAY!!!!
MINE TOOOOO!!

Hi
Yes you are right.. 😁

It wasnt for me...But I still watched it...

You know how ASMR is... You can't pull away and then you rue the fact that you could have spent that time elsewhere 🙈🙈

Although I TOTALLY get how it is the perfect show for a period or time or mood when one WANTS the soothing 😍

Thanks for responding

LOL .. Yes it has an ASMR quality

LOL ..

ASMR .. if ever a drama was made for relaxing ONLY .. and putting you to sleep .. Have to give it to the team for pulled one off ..

It's like muzak (elevator music) ~ won't make your pulse speed up, worry you, plunge you, or even make your brain go into a tizzy. But it's not unpleasant .. just keep it running in the background as you go about doing other things .. you won't miss much or be bothered about missing either, if you pick and choose from any part of the show you soak in some village life ..

But it will be unfair if I don't mention that beginning was dramatic and had SO much pace and movement and going somewhere. The loss of friend and those scenes capturing grief (though too drawn out) were palpable and brilliant. The moving out to the country promised adventure .. and then it becomes a travel mag ;-p

I stuck around because the LEADS are too good looking to turn away from :-D
AND they are talented actors to boot .. BUT no chemistry really .. Li Xian tries so hard .. What a different role from GGS (Go Go Squid).

None of the characters make us worry about them ..

My fingers got sore from FFD ing.

SO MANY people compared it to "Hometown Cha Cha Cha" ~ THANK GAWD I didn't bother watching that either after an episode (when it had released).
I am not a fan of the ML in that .. he has no sizzle factor.

BTW it's NOT the SLOW pace that made me YAWN!! It's basically quite FLAT.

Compare a SLOW PACED RURAL setting show like "I'll Come when the Weather is Good".
That's great DRAMA IMO.
Not a travel brochure ;-p

YUP .. the first ASMR Drama I have watched

👍🏽🫶

Agree with you.

It's one of my TOP rom-coms with SOLID meaty script and stuff to think about (it's infotainment aspect was sooo good).

I watched it thrice and LOVED it each time ;-p

ROFL I was just discussing this aspect in the thread above

I watched it thrice and LOVED it each time ;-p

I watched it thrice and LOVED it each time ;-p

Don't worry .. I LOVED it so MUCH!!

It had a GENUINE LOVE TRIANGLE ... Not a silly pasted on one just for the heck of it.
There is genuine two way pull for FL .. She needs to make up her mind ..

It could be that many viewers also get into a tussle about who to side with - and it's a heartache if their side loses the lady ;-p

The 'LOVE' is also complicated and not an easy romance story .. the characters have all kinds of messy feelings that need to be sorted through.

I guess that's why I LOVED it.

And of course I LOVE such triangular tales ;-p

I have had MY share of heartache in EXTREMELY WELL MADE Love Triangle Dramas.

~ What Happened in Bali (phew!! such complicated emotions and layered difficult characters)
~ Coffee House (2010) that blew up in my face and I hated that it did :-D
~ Age of Innocence (2002) Also blew up in my face .. goodness the complexity of that .. am yet to swallow it
~ Love Alarm (Yikes!! that also gave me tummy cramps)

AND who can forget the CLASSIC Reply 1988

it does?? Which ones?
