Well, I won't write a lot. It was a rom-com that is actually interesting and really funny. It makes you log for a cute country side little town in Korea. Maybe the scenery is a bit idyllic, but they don't romanticize the country life (for example, they don't have a dentist). Also, the romance makes sense and it is well written (also thanks to the amazing chemistry of Shin Min Ah and Kim Seon Ho).
But what I love the most are two things. First, the supporting characters were amazing. They weren't just a comedy relief or fillers, they actually had their own stories and lives to lead. Second, the strong female characters, from Yoon Hye Jin who does everything without thinking about the other's opinion and is ahead of Chief Hong, to Pyo Mi Seon, who is older than Choi Eun Chul and has to teach him about relatioship, to Grandma Gam Ri, to Yeo Hwa Jeong and all the others women of Gongjin, which everyone is a strong indepentant woman and dictates herself her own life. Some are strict, some are sensitive, some are a bit too much, but everyone is strong in her own way and can take care of herself. Also, the series speaks a bit about some social problems which is really positive. To summarize, Gongjin is actually a miniature of our society with everything a reallistic community would have.
