Started out good
I don’t know what happened but around episode 17 I was ready to call it quits.I’m still trying to understand why Mr. Choi and Mr. Hong were turned into villains with no consequences. Their side story was a waste of airtime. If Han Seung Joo was so valuable why didn’t the guy who offered her a position claiming his company needed her do something to keep her?
I also wondered why we were presented with two bratty younger siblings and that selfish mother.
The only side stories I enjoyed were the grandmothers worrying about Jak Doo and then taking in the young kid. The young kid’s Dad turning his son over to the bio dad made absolutely no sense, either.
I also just loved Cho Bong Sik. Thankful for the grandmothers and Bong Sik for providing humor.
The FL started out to be a favorite but by the 14th or 15th episode she started to irritate me. Unfortunately I never warmed up to her again, even after she married Jak Doo.
For me there was too many holes in storylines left unanswered.
I won’t rewatch it even though I loved both Kim Kang Woo’s and Jung Sang Hoon’s performances.

Long time ago I didn't watch a good slow pace romance drama like thisThis consider as a mini family drama
The plot was very good
The story was nice
The romance was amazing but only one thing bothered me
There were lots of hugs and rare kisses
Even when they kissed it was weird cold one
But inspite of that
I enjoyed every minute in it
I didn't feel bored at all till the end
Kang woo was an amazing actor in this drama he played both characters amazingly
Although I'm not a good fan for uee but I've to admit she developed her acting
And did well in this drama
The villains characters for me were
The mother and the FL's manager
But I saw the mother were the worst ever
I hated her from the beginning till the end
The most B**** character I have ever seen
So greedy, so selfish and so exploitative
And her son just like her
But with a little bit of conscience
what i hated the most that someone like In Pyo the FL"s manager
should be really punished
i dislike that weak punishment that happened to him
I hated the FL weak attitude towards them all so much
At the beginning I hated ( so mi's husband) but I loved him after that for what he did to the FL 's mother and her brother
He learned them politeness
I loved Eric character so much,
he was so funny and cute
I wished he could find someone else to love before the drama finished
But with sorrow that didn't happen
Highly recommended if you love family dramas

Healing and a joy to watch
I am in awe. It is is so Meaningful and hard to come by. Precious and Beautifully written in many ways.The drama started with a lot of fun, and the transition has been wonderful.
I loved when the characters were willing to change their lives for the one they love.
The courage to be different. The change of priorities.
It showed a whole different level of maturity.
I also loved the embracement of simplicity and living in the peaceful mountains. How it pushes the stressful and fake civilization to the side.
And I loved their love; how they were willing to throw everything away for each other.
And I love how her character admits to being weak and grows strong with the right acts.
Jak Doo is so pretty, and nice. And I like Uee best in this work.
The drama is soooo goooood nothing ever felt like a filler.
The other characters fill it with delight
And the accent!
One of the reasons I loved this even more; it is one of those dramas where there is a plot, a good one. Like how the story with the Gayageums integrated so well with what started as a romance.

Though a bit slow paced the story is relevant in todays time as we can see around us where even within families there is so much insensitivity and lack of love / caring for each other. The need for being ourselves in times when the media tries to make every story into a saleable product while compromising on truth is the message of the drama.
In my view it is a bit slow but all the side characters and their strengths and weaknesses are nicely projected - all in all a good drama with little fluffy romance but mature theme.

Une surprise inattendue
J'ai commencé ce titre, qui traînait depuis un certain temps dans ma liste de dramas à regarder, parce qu'il allait disparaître du catalogue Netflix, ici en Belgique.Autant l'avouer tout de suite, je n'étais pas vraiment emballé par les 2-3 premiers épisodes, trouvant la réalisation trop brute et les personnages trop stéréotypés.
Et pourtant, la sauce a fini par prendre et j'ai terminé les 24 épisodes en une petite semaine, même si la série aurait pu tenir en 20, voire 16 épisodes, les derniers étant un peu dilués, avec certains passages passables, n'apportant rien de neuf ni de passionnant à l'histoire.
Qu'est-ce qui a donc fini par me plaire?
Premièrement, l'histoire qui, si elle ne révolutionne pas le genre, s'intéresse au choc entre ruralité et civilisation, avec des situations cocasses, surtout dans la première moitié du drama. Voir le héros principal en "plouc" de la campagne avait un côté rafraîchissant.
En deuxième lieu, les acteurs. Les deux protagonistes principaux sont globalement bien dans leur rôle, distillant une belle alchimie tout au long de la série. J'ai moins apprécié le personnage de Eric Cho, qui en faisait toujours un peu trop et regrette que le personnage de l'amour d'enfance (Jang Eun Joo) ait manqué un peu de relief. Il aurait pu apporter plus à l'intrigue.
Enfin, la bande son est plutôt agréable, avec de belles mélodies qui accompagnent les beaux paysages de la campagne de Jinan.
Au final, une agréable surprise. Pas une série inoubliable mais un excellent moment avec de beaux passages riches en émotions et une belle histoire. A recommander pour ma part !
