Warm and Cozy is like a field of weeds with a few pretty flowers; you're not sure if those few flowers are worth labelling the field as "pretty" or if, on the contrary, the field should be called "ugly" because it's basically just weeds. In other words, it's difficult to say if this drama is worth watching or not. At first, I liked this drama best for its fun simplicity. It was "warm and cozy" at the beginning as well as at the end. The OST was also nice to listen to, almost soothing. This drama feels like an open love letter to Jeju-do with food as its main theme. What not to like really?! Unfortunately, problems reared their heads around episode 10 and stayed until episode 14 or so. All the dragginess and useless overcomplication made the drama lose most of its appeal. It felt as if the writers were suddenly displeased with doing simple and decided to overdramatize everything. A 12-episode format would have fitted this drama way better in my opinion. Because of these problems, it's easy to get frustrated by the main couple but thankfully other characters are here to save the show. Except Mok Ji Won who is awfully one-dimensional, her character is so awful that I'm not sure if the actress that played her was really bad or if she did really well with what she was given. Overall the acting was good but I wasn't totally sold by it; my main complaint lied with the kiss scenes that felt so stiff it took away most of the charm of the scenes (thankfully it got better in the end). To conclude, the Hong sisters didn't try very hard with the plot and although there are a few gems here and there, the drama is "warm and cozy" but in a very forgettable way. It's an enjoyable watch during a lazy summer week, nothing more. A nice little summer fling.
