I watched about 90% of this drama at 2x speed haha. The entire drama is incredibly slow (not even slow burn, just really slow. At least for me) and I could not for the life of me stay focused on it unless I sped it up. The romance was an absolute 10/10 with a very understanding couple that can talk about their issues pleasantly and resolve problems with no unnecessary angst or fighting. The only reason I can’t give this drama any higher of a rating is because 70% of the plot was an absolute snoozefest. I’m INCREDIBLY picky when it comes to my thriller dramas because I find a large, large majority of them to be incredibly boring. The main genres that I watch are romance, comedy, and slice of life because thrillers and crime/law dramas never manage to hold my attention. Sadly, Dali and Gamjatang had a thriller/mystery aspect to it that took up a ton of screen time, and I could not keep myself interested in the drug scandal/gallery ownership/land acquisition issues. Just not my thing but that is totally my personal preference. Overall, Dali and Gamjatang had a very refreshing cast of characters and a great romance plot. If you are one for thrillers and don’t mind a slow pace, this is a great drama to watch.
