This "miniseries" was stretched out by 15 and a half episodes. As in previous reviews, There were trope after trope of lifetime moments. The series could have (and if true life example was followed) A simple conversation starting with "haven't we met?" The "ridiculousness" would have ended and you could have had a more natural relationship developing over the episodes. The main characters' acting was a little wooden. That could have been the director's fault, idk. Many K dramas start off slowly so, I stock it out waiting, but it was a slow moving at the beginning as it was at the end. On a positive note, I loved the cooking and the eating and I learned so much about Korean cuisine. Everything (the food and scenery) was so beautiful.

This movie is mediocre at best. It is paved with good intentions. What caused me to actually write a review was the music. Song after song was an assault on my ears. I thought it was just the first song and then the second one arrived sung by a different artist and lo and behold the third one arrived like a strike-out. I saw this on YouTube listed as a Hallmark movie, but it didn't meet the standard by a long shot. But, as I said, the intentions were there. But the script was wooden, the actors didn't have a chance to shine. I don't know if they would or not, but it was dead in the water.

Btw, with the earlier review, the author mentioned that girls don't get Bar Mitzvah'ed but this was clearly identified as a Bat Mitzvah, which is for girls at 12.
