Noorulain Jan 06 2026 12:21 am Those who are complaining about this drama probably wanted romance lol.... Trust me, the care the ML had for the FL was really cute. So don’t skip it because of these comments.

Noorulain Jan 06 2026 12:17 am 10/10 for me. I loved every bit of it. The drama wasn’t slow at all, and with only 10 episodes, each story had its own charm. Some stories even made me sob. While watching this drama, I learned an important lesson about staying happy with what we already have. There will always be ups and downs, but life goes on, and we shouldn’t give up. Watch it, guys!

Andrea Schusman Sep 17 2025 2:04 pm Loved it ! I don’t understand why it is so low rating of this drama in Korea and happy to see here that they received what they deserve . It’s slow it’s the truth but it’s so inspiring and nice to watch. Recommend to watch!

Yeorum Sep 16 2025 2:28 pm Does anyone know what is the name of the actor who played as young Cha Young Hoon?

ann Sep 11 2025 12:18 pm good drama.hoping for season 2...

N1f Sep 07 2025 9:28 pm The main female character is very simple and popular, she has no charm

Andrew Sep 07 2025 7:26 am Don't listen to the negative comments... Try this series and find it for yourself rather than listen to the criticisms of this series. I like the series although it doesn't have much of a romance. I'm expecting there will be season 2 bec of how it was ended.

Nn Sep 06 2025 2:09 pm There's just a little romance here. I felt overwhelmed watching this.

Sara Sep 02 2025 11:25 pm There is no romance in this series, don't force yourself to watch it

Xander Sep 02 2025 6:18 am I took a break from watching this lovely drama to post this: please if you wanna get into watching this drama, don't listen to the rom-com addicts here saying bad things about this drama. If you loved "my liberation notes" and "it's okay to not be okay" you'll definitely Love this.

This drama will make you cry, laugh, grin ear to ear and still pass along a strong message at the end.

I'm still at episode 5 and I'm hooked already.

Melo500 Aug 31 2025 1:06 pm I watched this series but I didn't enjoy it at all. It was just like watching the daily life of an ordinary person. It was like watching a nature tour program that some networks broadcast and that certain audiences with different tastes like.

Olya_1004 Aug 31 2025 7:59 am I initially wanted to drop this drama after the 4th ep (if you watched it,you know why) but since it's only 10 episodes I thought I should tough it out and I do enjoy the stories they tell when FL is traveling.

I do want to mention to the commenters below,this drama is technically not a romantic drama,it's about self healing and growth which is the journey of most of the characters here and mostly the FL. Yes the ML is in love with her but she never showed she has feelings for him,maybe she will grow to like him more in the fantasy land of the drama past its ending but as for the duration of the drama,it's not the main focus. Also considering they have very few scenes actually together it's easy to understand why you won't see a lot of chemistry.

The FL is not focused on finding love,she is just trying to survive her life and find her place in the world which is valid. I haven't finished the show yet,just started episode 9 but I wanted to weigh in a bit on the no chemistry comments.

Christina Aug 24 2025 7:48 pm I think everyone is correct. There is very little chemistry between the leads, The ML is cute, The FL is distant, I believe the direction was poor. I keep wanting them to show some warmth toward each other. I am keeping up with it, but unsure why at this point lol.

Debby Aug 20 2025 3:39 pm I love it. The cinematography and sceneries are so nice.

sara Aug 18 2025 12:30 am So far, poor acting, probably due to poor direction, poor editing, and the story sucks tbh. There is zero chemistry between the leads and you cannot convince me that the ML has fallen for the FL because i cant see any emotion on his face. It is probably due to poor directions by the director because i have seen the guy in another drama where his acting was really good. There is no proper flow to the scenes, all change randomly. Not to mention that CEO who is still crushing over his ex-wife randomly, such an eye rolling moment. I am fast forwarding all his scenes now. Dont get me started on how that finance manager is crushing on the CEO, like seriously? This could have been such a sweet drama. I love all the beautiful sceneries and that cute doggie too who was mishandled, even if they gave a disclaimer, that was rough. So much potential for a good drama gone to bin

Dilida Aug 16 2025 10:02 pm Maybe they don't have a good director, that's why they don't act naturally. The choice of actors' costumes is also not appropriate. In the first episode, there was no need for a bad director, they could have started with the second team, and the bee attack and the other scenes that tried to be funny were not funny at all.

Av Aug 16 2025 9:31 pm This series is boring and is a remake of a Japanese series with changes in the story and characters. There was animal abuse in episode 4. I can't relate to the main female character. The bromance was funny. I wish each episode had its own story with more excitement. The man who separated from his wife keeps coming back and wanting to talk to her, and the dog story continued for several episodes. There is no need for the main female character to smile deeply or get angry and yell at the dog.

Olya_1004 Aug 15 2025 6:05 am Really wanted to like the drama and after episode 4 I am not sure. FL keeps crying all the time and episode 4 she is just mean to the dog for no reason. Yes we understand she is going through some life altering event but no need to yell at the dog for no reason ,especially that you can tell its an old dog. I might finish it for the sake of finishing it and since it only has 10 episodes I can try and get through it.

Boo Aug 15 2025 4:07 am I saw the first two episode but to me it wasn't enough to stay for more. I thought it would be like the show Summer Strike. The female lead with her self-discovery journey in the countryside. Nice locations, with some love-interest, some mystery. Like a cozy, comforting, summer show. However Gong Seung-Yeon's and Yu Jun-Sang's characters were irritating to me. So I dropped it.

Emily Aug 12 2025 2:24 pm I was enjoying the show but I do Not like the way they treat the dog in episode 4. So cruel. He’s a pampered pooch and should be treated as such. Her yelling at him and pulling the leash is unacceptable. I don’t care if it’s acting.

Diamond Aug 06 2025 5:49 pm Love the vibes of this drama... Gonna continue to watch this...

Mmmmm Aug 05 2025 12:27 pm Wooowwww... so comforting. Really recommended !!! All of you must watching this drama

Lala Aug 05 2025 12:57 am So boooooring

seokjinie Aug 05 2025 12:28 am I just noticed now that jung chae yeon looks like a younger version of gong seung yeon

Thalia Jul 26 2025 9:33 am Im gonna watch this for gong seung yeon. i love her

dels Jun 21 2025 7:54 am i cant wait to see kim jaeyeong's new drama!!!
