    There's 6252737263 other dramas just like this one

    Nothing new to see here , what a shame, they just change the setting of the story and the profession and they literally reuse every single other thing in it.

    Forced Love triangle, entangled past with childhood fated relationship, and rude male lead that sweetens up with time. It just gets too boring because you know what will happen with every single twist. Even the characters personalities feel a flashback of many other old kdramas.

    I was looking forward to watch this but the quality isn't there and it doesn't even attract for you to keep watching, even though it's short and has only a few episodes it's almost unbearable.

    If you want something exciting and thrilling, this is not it.

    Love triangle spoils it all

    I don't watch many Korean dramas, but from time to time one captures my attention. I thought that this would be one of those. Whereas.most Korean shows take place in Seoul, this is set in the countryside, something that I wish they would do more of. That being said, this show is really only about one thing, the love triangle between the three characters. Police officer Ahn Ja-yeong, she is an officer, and she tends to look out for the town folk. Then you have veterinarian, Hans Ji-yul who arrives from Seoul to replace his grandfather while he goes on a vacation. Then you have a local farmer, who although not dating officer Ahn, is extremely jealous of Ji-yul, and the fact that officer Ahn seems drawn to him. Take away this and you have a show that gives one a glimpse of the countryside and farm life in Korea. Would have made for a fine viewing experience.

    Can anyone tell me why the majority of these Korean shows feature love-triangles? I have a idea, but I would like to hear other views.

    Tried but failed.

    I thought the premise might be fun but soon realized this series is trying to imitate the success of "Small Town Cha Cha Cha" without the engaging actors, dialogue and storylines. There hasn't been any funny scenarios of the big city vet in the country. Officer Ahn is fairly pathetic. The vet is a dud and the big storyline is they played together as kids and he forgot. The screaming and hair pulling of women from rival towns is annoying. Had to fast forward through those scenes. The love triangle could be more interesting. I am liking the child actors better than the leads. If you are bored, tune in.

    Different Taste..

    Yes, all but Hi Mama is good as recent reviewer mentions, but the series is cute so far and I wish people would give things a chance before giving it a rating that it really doesn't deserve. She/he doesn't like the actor or something so why rate something you don't want to watch in the first place. Oh, that's right, free speech. It's nothing like Hallmark movies because it's funny and most Korean dramas have strong character development unlike most American movies, hallmark or not. I read the webtoon and it's on target with the story so something like this you need to give 6-10 episodes because they are only 30 minutes long. BTW. Their chemistry is good considering they just met and i am looking forward to the upcoming episodes. If it goes downhill, I will drop the rating accordingly as rating shows should be.

    Swoon-worthy, cute rom-com.

    This rom-com reminds those good-old kdramas. It is based on webtoon.

    I know, I know... Story isn't new or revolutionary and is predictable but this drama is cute, adorable, heartwarming, healing, swoon-worthy, stress buster, feel-good.

    Cute, adorable lead cast n their characters, even supporting cast is good.

    This drama has beautiful countryside cinematography, beautiful aesthetics n OSTs.

    Direction is good.

    Leads Choo Young-woo and Joy are rookies but gave beautiful performances. They share adorable chemistry which grows with every episode.

    I'll definitely miss this series and will cherish Forever couple JAYUL for long time.

    I had a great time watching this series.

    Yes, it definitely resembles to Hometown cha cha cha in a good way.
