Tired of palace politics, capital settings? This drama then is for you!

Romance on the Farm is just what I needed, a break from palace politics and elite familes, it hasn't however broken free from scheming. Elements of the drama produce a very healing touch, unfortunately parts the story tend to disturb that.

What I really enjoyed -

~ The cinematography and setting. It's not everyday you come across a drama that's plot is centred around a farm, and the cinematography has done an incredible job of bringing this setting too life. The colour scheme produces a calm, healing atmosphere. I also enjoyed seeing the sets, majority of costume dramas are set with rich houses can be very tiring to watch over and over again, this drama brought freshness in it's simple setting of the farm house.
~ The chemistry between the leads. It was very sweet and adorable healthy relationship.
~ How our FL, despite all the setbacks, kept her business growing. I enjoyed seeing her business get bigger after each setback.
~ The OST, another aspect of the drama that produced healing qualities. It was often very well timed, and I felt it expressed the longing of the couple very well.
~ The bandits, I felt that the story around them was well done and would have loved to see more of them.
~ Certain characters that were well written and acted out, some of which were only support characters.

What I didn't enjoy -

~ All the scheming from the FL family members.
~ The story for the FL felt very repetitive and I slowly lost interest in her side of the story, with how her family kept interfering with her business.
~ The lack of romance. I really really wish there was more romance, as their chemistry was quite good and it was extremely enjoyable to see them together.
~ The main evil boss, didn't feel like an evil boss, in fact I kinda liked his character. If they had made his close subordinate the main villain then I could see how he would have been the main bad boss...
~ The gaming aspect, I just wanted the FL to get stuck in that world with ML, instead of having to return to the real world.
~ I felt the comedy sizzled out towards the end.
