A reverse repunzel

The male lead was the repunzel here who was locked in a tower due to people surrounding him. The male leads acting was superb and he did an introvert very very well. Even till the end he remains an introvert. If you want behind the scenes, Min Hyun is so much more vocal.
This is my best ROM COM SINCE 2019. Last I enjoyed a drama so much was one spring night.
This drama, was so special is how nothing was special but the end product was so amazing. Things I loved was how two really cute loners were drawn to each other. The male lead was such a cutie and female lead was very natural too.
After I binge watched it a third time, I realised it was time for me to submit a review for this drama 😊😎

Love it watch it

Oh my god… this drama is so good. I hated all the top airing k dramas now and I thought we will only get super cliche horrible dramas with repetitive stories, A List actor and an actress with a super branded wardrobe. God how much I hate those type of dramas. It’s almost like factory produced, AI generated devoid of any creativity.
Then along came this drama and my faith in k dramaland has been restored. It’s so squeal worthy. The female lead is so so so lovable. She was disabled and her life has been a struggle. It’s such a heart felt message when she is the knight in the rusty armour … she is the one who is fighting for saving the life of someone. This is so positive for all disabled people and people who struggle with life.
The twists and turns are amazing like simply AMAZING.
Who should watch it - people who love slice of life, people who believe in working through despite all odds, people who like twists and turns and finally all those folks who loved the last twilight (I am one of them).
Watch it please….

A Korean “English Countryside” Drama (quaint, it’s all cosy and quaint)

Usually I never write a review until a drama is finished but I felt that this time around I must. Given that the usual MDL ways of down rating a drama happens when the female lead IS NOT super young and hot (insert a generic Zao Lusi or Kim So Hyun prototype here. They both are very talented and pretty ladies. I personally am a fan of Ki So Hyun. I am just talking about how people react on this forum).
Moving on, anyone who likes cosy village settings with super wacky and weird characters will like this drama. A lot of the characters do questionable stuff and so many characters are so weird. Even the pets are funny and strange. This drama “reads” and feels like a book. Fans of PG Wodehouse, Legends and Latte, Indian Malgudi Days, will know what I am talking about. So it may not be everyone’s cup of tea at all. However it must be noted that this drama is doing exceptionally well in Korea. I am glad. So many times Korean productions have to bow down to international tastes that they lose their unique touch. Not so in this case.
Han Ji Min is amazing in this, I had always seen her in sad or dramatic works and I was pleasantly surprised to see she has good comedic timing. Her male lead, is usually wooden but he is emoting very well.
Han Ji Mins’, curly haired sister is amazing. I really liked her in one spring night too.
Anyways I am really enjoying it. Hope it does not do a nosedive towards the end like many K Dramas do.
****************
My thoughts after watching this - a very nice thriller whodunnit mystery and the bickering about chemistry between the leads (non romantic for most of the show) was good. The setting, the characters were very unique. A throughly enjoyable drama
