This series is the perfect choice for those who, like me, enjoy a cute story and have a preference for fluff over drama and angst. It's simple, charming, and doesn't take itself too seriously, which I can appreciate.

Stuff I liked:

- The comedy. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but some moments had me wheezing (for example, the scene where he's playing the melodica while crying? I just can't). Ye Chan had some really funny moments, and his over-the-top energy was a great addition to the show.
- The scenery/production! I genuinely wasn't expecting it to be that great. There are some shots which are beautiful, well-framed, and showcase the beauty of the countryside. The color grading was amazing as well.
- The dog. I loved that they all used it as a replacement for therapy lol
- Random white dude speaking korean?? I don't know, it gave me whiplash at first but he was fun I guess.
- The portrayal of a close-knit community! People in small villages really are very welcoming and giving, and I loved seeing that in a series. I think the only aspect it was missing was the hardcore gossiping that tends to happen as a result of knowing everyone and their mum.

Stuff to improve:

- Acting. While I praised Ye Chan as a character for being funny, I do think that the acting was a little too intense sometimes. The performance felt very one-note by the end of the series - he was always pouting, smiling, giggling, and being cute, which I liked at first, but I would've appreciated seeing a different part of him (does he get angry? Sad? Like, ever?). Everything he does is related to the main character, and he doesn't feel like a real person at all. Also, the character was borderline stalking Seon Yul at some points, and it felt -invasive? I don't know how to describe it.
-Seon Yul. I think that, while Ye Chan was simping for him almost from the start, Yul's attitude towards him came off as very standoffish and cool. I would've liked to see him developing feelings for his partner earlier on, because he fell for him at the very end and it felt soo rushed.
-I've seen someone else point this out, but the portrayal of people living in the countryside was a little bit off for me (?). Like, at times it felt like they (especially Ye Chan) were very simple-minded and almost dumb. Seeing their skills and positive traits, such as being hard-working, knowledgeable about nature and natural remedies, etc. could've been interesting. Apart from them being welcoming and generous, we didn't get much of that.

Overall, would recommend the series - it's light and entertaining.
