Beautiful Cinematography!
28 October 2021
This was such a chill-out, light-hearted, and unproblematic drama that was shot near the seaside area, so had AMAZING cinematography. Every shot was picture perfect, the colours were well balanced, and the captures of nature were absolutely breathtaking.

This is like a photographer's dream.

That being said, the overall drama is quite nice. It's easier to take into the mind too. After a stressful day, you can watch this and be at ease. The drama doesn't have any heavy plots that keep you thinking about it throughout the week. While it's not a boring watch at all, it doesn't have the thought-provoking or intriguing aspect to it. So, we can watch an episode, feel good, forget till the next episode.

Everything about the drama is very predictable from the get-go and the characters are not deeply fleshed out. Everyone's a good person too. Therefore, not much difficult acting is required. Which is quite fortunate because the main cast were mediocre actors.

As much as I love and adore Shin Minah, her acting range is quite limited and if you binge-watch the episodes, there is a probability of you getting a bit annoyed with her "baby talking", and the same three expressions for everything. Kim Seonho on the other hand displayed good acting in the latter episodes even though he was very stiff in the early episodes. This could be due to the way his character was written as a too-perfect guy at first (which tends to be quite boring) and then later we find he has a bit of layer to him which makes him more interesting. Lee Sangyi is a new addition to my drama watching and I have to say he's a fresh find. I've already seen him in Prison Playbook but I did not know it was the same actor who played the murderous bully in Prison Playbook and is now playing the nicest guy in this show. He has an amazing singing tone and seems to have great potential as an actor too. However, he still needs improvement which I'm sure I will see from his future acting jobs.

Other than the main cast, the supporting cast does a decent job and their stories are very interesting that keep you engaged in the drama. I for one watched the drama mainly for the stories of the others especially the story about the two divorcées and the teacher, their child's reaction to their relationship, the ex-star singer's story, which I found quite compelling.

To conclude, I recommend this drama for you if you like a peaceful watch without many complications. The mesmerizing sceneries will be an added advantage!
