It's feels sincere

A light drama that encapsulates the story of a rich lady and a rural man and his three nephews. The drama is cute and wholesome and in contrast with the rich lady's pompous personality, it sets an unusually interesting scene. The acting is good and feels like characters that live in this rural part of Korea. The location of the shoot is beautiful and iconic. There's some comical and sleek cinematography in this drama as well. The people involved, really went with these cool and bizarre shots and I really appreciate some of them (even pausing and going back to see them replay). The music was a pleasure to listen to as well.

If you like to just relax and watch a cozy drama, this one's for you

Interesting...

I have started watching K-dramas since 2019 and I have learned the formulae they follow and the facets that make up a 30-60 mins, 16-20 episodes. With that being said I'm no K-drama connoisseur(at least not yet) but throughout my viewing experience, I was engrossed in the scenes that would affect the protagonists severely. Everything was in order, 18 episodes in, with the good side cast trying to get out of the enemy's web but it was all hopeless until the they write in a Dues ex machina in the form of biochemicals. Don't get me wrong, I think it was alright since they did some foreshadowing with the russian coverup that Ji Chang Wook used, but why was that the killing blow for the antagonists only leaves me to ask more questions. Hacking scenes are your classic clichés, spamming the keyboard and hitting enter to signify the hack or whatever. It's tiring to see it. But I can forgive it since it's part of the drama experience, everything is exaggerated and that is fine. The cast was alright, nothing to write home about. Park min young's role is pretty simple and tame. At first I was interested to see how her upbringing with ex-convicts would have played an important role but most of time she ends up in these situations where she is helpless and needs Ji Chang Wook to save her. But, I was surprised to find that a show that totals 20 hrs in viewtime fails to end gracefully or at least that's how I felt. In the past, I would despise an entire show/drama just for its ending being rushed, but I think it's unfair especially if the show/drama is captivating through its story telling and good cast. I would have liked to see some closure about the ending but alas this drama was released in 2014 and I'm writing this review 3 days after watching the show in 2021.
