I was taken aback by what this show might be when episode 1 was so bleak!
Slow-paced shows are some of my favorites. I love when it’s set in a small town and there is an eclectic bunch of cast.
This show served that in large buckets! it was just so cosy.
But even for me, this show moved at a snail’s pace, at times.
It’s not a show I could binge-watch, but it has such an unknown magical quality that with each episode I watched, it was like going home to see familiar people.
It’s one of those shows that heals you when you didn’t even know you needed healing.
And by gosh, the acting was incredible.
It felt so genuine, like I was peeking into their lives, instead of watching them acting out scenes. I was particularly impressed by both the leads, who did a fantastic job of carrying that slow-paced storyline.

Also loved that the show didn’t need to tie everything in a neat bow by the end, that not all people who you were rooting to become couples actually got together.
That was a brave move.

I would definitely recommend it if you’re in the right mood for this slow-paced, slice of life drama. It has very little angst but so much sweet heart at it’s center.
