There is no evil second female leads in this one, ladies and gentlemen!
For that alone, this deserves a place on your watch-list. :)
Besides that, there is a nice pace and an abundance of characters, each with their own traits (yes, fine.. there are insanely malicious villains, but they only help build up the story).. because, just like FL lead said: "I can't forgive you, if you don't forgive yourself"
WHY I LIKED IT?
I like so many things in this one. Mainly, because it's light and fluffy.
The fluffy-ness of it is perfect for those days you just can't be bothered with your day-to-day tedious tasks and stressful real-life situations. That said, the sweetness MAY cause you to pause the Show a few times in an episode, just to give yourself a reality check, because it MAY be a little to strong.
If you're anything like me, you'll catch yourself laughing at some of their "ouch" moments. And, let me tell you, when the heroes come to those "ouch" moments, they have already dug themselves deep in the funny situation, they can't just jump out, and we get to see them as uncomfortable as.. cute.
Two thumbs up to our ML. Persistence in that man.. without spoiling it, I'll say: if I was an employer and had a seasonal worker that can mess up every single task, get herself in more than one messy situation a day, and made me stop all my work countless times a day just to help her.. she'd be sacked the same day. No remorse. No more chances. Sacked, goodbye. BUT, our ML is better than me (luckily, right?) and I applaud his gentle nature.
Skinskip. If you're familiar just with Korean drama, you'll notice most comments being about how many actual touches has there been between the leads. Here's a LOT; but don't expect more. Because this is a fluffy, cute, naive love story (with a lot of shooting, at night, in the forest.. but hey..)
I loved the scenery.
I watched more then one series FOR the scenery. And this Show did not disappoint me.
And, another thing: nature preservation?! AMAZING topic, and I loved every single little thing they did. Illegal forestry is a serious topic, and I'm glad the Show gave a strong point against it.
WHAT I DID NOT LIKE
Not many things, actually.
This Show is "all feels", and if we take is as such, it'll give us a nice ride. Predictable? YES. I was sitting, watching and thinking "but, why hasn't there been a kidnapping, yet?", and Show gave me just that. And, that clumsiness is borderline insane, as I've mentioned earlier. To the FL: girl, you've BURNED a place! You should get sacked. You're lucky our ML is also insanely forgiving.
THE MUSIC
Nice scores, good transitions. Some serious tunes for the dreadful scenes. I say: it was well placed and has helped the Show flow smoothly. Main theme is delightful.
RE-WATCH VALUE
Sure. Why not? There is PLENTY of adorable scenes (and, I'll let you know: those I found to be most precious do not belong to your Main Couple) :)
OVERALL
That said, I just let everything go, and enjoyed the cuteness of it all: drunk-party-going mom, birth secrets, pistol-pointing villains, nosy reporters, majestically forgiving bosses, heck, I liked them all.
Even the police.
