Nice little slice of life drama

It frustrates me how they didn't try to communicate sooner because the first 10 episodes, well they really took things very slowly then the writers dump it away in the last few episodes. I expected Samdal to focus on her life in her hometown and the drama with her family and neighbors, but suddenly we forgot about her problems in Seoul. I don't mean that Samdal has to confront Eunji all the time and I want to see that girl get her karma like a typical revenge drama, but we just don't get any more updates after that. It's just the order of things for me because I think it's important as it's part of current Samdal's life too.

We get a touching love journey between Samdal and Yongpil as the core of this drama. They are cute, but I find it complicated because this is related to Yongpil's father's firm rejection who still mourning over his wife. Yongpil's father is as hard as a rock and I feel like he has no right to restrict Yongpil's life. Yongpil is an adult and he can decide what is best for his life. But, I also don't like how they have to go against their parents just to be together. In a way, it's very dramatic. That's why I just want to see them communicate. You could say it's realistic given their difficult conditions, but they really just let things go and there wasn't much effort put in.

It's just minor issues like this, but overall it's still good, great acting!! I really enjoyed it myself but I also hope for more exposure with other character's growth.
