Happiness is sharing delicious food with the ones you love! Soothing and comforting, with a delicate as well as considerate approach to some serious, deep and complicated matters, and a wonderful (even if a bit beautified) depiction of a slow-burn romance and sismance. Nishino Emi did a fantastic job depicting the fascinating character of Kasuga, with her reserved persona, her pragmatic thoughts and actions, her warm and compassionate feelings, and her sad backstory. A heartwarming and rewarding watch.
With a superb cast, engaging storylines and the undoubtedly breathtaking beauty of Jeju island with its landscapes, people, traditions and fascinating haenyos, this was a smooth, heartwarming and comforting watch. In spite of a few over-simplified plot devices and weak character dynamics, this healing slice of life story was engaging, with its strongest elements being the beautiful friendship, camaraderie and family aspects. Time well-spent.
An underrated supernatural action story on the surface, but dark, infuriating, desperately painful and heavily emotional underneath. Watch with caution.
A sweet teen romance with a story with no real surprises but done very well. Though the FL was frustratingly indecisive, her friendship with her besties and her chemistry, tension and slow-burn romance with cutie pie ML made this an easy and fluffy watch.
