Sweet with no angst and a good cast!
For the most part, I enjoyed the drama. It was sweet and there was no angst which is a good change from most dramas. The cast was also perfectly chosen. And that is why I think I was able to overlook obvious flaws... at least until the final episode.
My pros:
- 2nd couple - i really wish we'd gotten more of them
- the friendships - i loved how everyone melded together in their friend groups.
- the music - i'm not a big fan of traditional music of any country, but I found myself kinda liking the music here
- the cast played their roles very well. there wasn't a single character i didn't like.
- the food. food corn that lasts the entire series!
Cons
- the main couple (mostly towards the end where their faults were glaringly obvious) which I sort of delve into below
- it was too long. it would've worked just fine as a usual 24 episode drama.
My biggest issue:
The ML's pushiness (control issues could be a better thing to say, maybe) and the FL's childishness and sheltered self really came out full force in the final episode and the sweetness without angst was no longer able to blind me. At that point, though, I just finished the drama. Honestly, this is one drama couple where I feel like if the FL ever grows up more and comes into her own... I don't really see this couple being endgame forever. But if FL stays her sheltered self who is fine with others choosing everything for her, then good luck I guess.
That said, I gave this a 7.5 for my pros. Would I recommend it? It's a toss up. But, I guess I'd say if you're thinking of it, try it for yourself and see what happens. Maybe the sweetness and no angst won't cloud your judgement and have you watch the whole drama like it did me.
