Sweet story

This drama was sweet. Main characters had nice chemistry. At the beginning I thougt that the story will be about family relationships and it turned out very well. I was laughing a lot and the story has a lot of missunderstandings. They clear and mixed again. Love story between three couples and mixed stories from past to present. Sometimes I didn`t know what will be hidden true or lie. The story is in small island, were people has their own way of life and business. It is nice to be out of town and all the bussiness relationships. I like also the helper in the restaurant. He was all the time trying to help to make the best for both sides. I he understands a lot without event to tell him. But I am sure I will watched this drama again. I really enjoy it.

I really liked Warm and Cozy starting out, but got really frustrated with it in the middle. Geon Woo does a lot of &quot;push and pull&quot; - he'll imply he likes Jung Joo just enough to keep her interested, but then he'll do something stupid to push her away again. However, he obviously learned these tactics from the off again/on again relationship he has with Mok Ji Won, who wholeheartedly admits to being a gold-digger and is out for the richest husband she can find. Geon Woo just doesn't have enough ambition to satisfy her desire for wealth and status. But she doesn't want anyone else to have him, either, so every time Geon Woo and Jung Joo start getting closer, she shows up to throw a monkey-wrench into the machinery.

There isn't really anything exciting and new about this drama - it relies on the standard romance tropes. Love triangle. Drunken night out. Piggy back rides. Sudden illness requiring a loved one's tender care. Misunderstandings. Disappearances. Separations. Couple having to live together b/c of unfortunate circumstances. You name it, they're in there. There's also a mystery arc.

However, Kang So Ra and Yoo Yeon Seok's chemistry was off the charts (to me, anyway), so it was easy to root for them to be together (when I wasn't wanting to throw a brick at Geon Woo for being so pigheaded). There are plenty of laugh out loud, funny moments to relieve the tension (especially with Hae Sil and Jung Geun, the secondary couple). The mayor is strange but hilarious. Last but not least, he last two episodes contain one of the most touching confessions I've seen (well, two of them, really), and then what I think is one of the best Kdrama kisses I've seen so far - a sexy, **mutually desired**, passionate kiss - So at the end, I felt putting up with the push/pull antics was worth it.

The secondary pairing is also a lot of fun to watch, and it's also fun to finally see the lead female tell off the evil ex-girlfriend (which seems to be a kind of a rarity so I really enjoyed that bit, too). They share a recipe for something cooked at the end of each show, so that was cute, too. So, while the plot line may not be the most original and it's full of the usual kdrama tropes, it was still a fun, enjoyable romantic comedy. Music is wonderful and they did a good job using it to set the mood in different scenes. My favorites are Butterfly, A Little Closer, and Don't Be Seen. Rewatch value is good - there are several moments I like to rewatch and I will probably watch the whole series again soon. If rom-coms are for you (and I love them), then you'll probably like this one.

It's "Warm and Cozy" with Hae Shil and Jung Geun.

Story: I love the refreshing feel of this drama. The story starts out so good, then interesting, then funny, then boring, then funny, then boring, then boring and repetitive and uninteresting you can't keep from wanting to drop it. I completed it, though, because I don't want to waste my effort of downloading it. The consolation is the love story of Hae Shil and Jung Geun; it is hilarious and cute it actually surpasses Geon Woo's and Jung Joo's roles. And I love Mayor Hwang Wook. There are times I root for him than Geon Woo.


Acting/Cast:

The acting is good. They just acted according to their roles even though the characters are ridiculous - old people acting like kids. They pulled it off.

Lee Jung Joo is very soft-hearted it becomes annoying. I think the character is somehow stupid. Like Lee Sang Yoon said in Liar Game, "I hate girls who think being stupid is being good". Well, something like that.

Baek Geon Woo is so kid-like. Sometimes he's a jerk but he's very kind too. You'll love him and you'll hate him and repeat.

Mayor Hwang Wook: Pity! He is adorable and cute.

Mok Ji Won: I like to pull out her eyes, make it a necklace and sell it to her for $1M. Money and fame is love to her Seo Yi Ahn pulled it off. She convinced me to hate Ji Won.

Kim Hae Shil: She's okay. She went through a hard time and you can understand her why she's acting like that. But 30 years is too long. Well...

Song Jung Geun: I love him. Love him, love him, love him. Why? Who wouldn't? His personality is so cute. He talks big and acts like a kid. Haha! Lee Sung Jae is an incredible actor. I saw him acted as villain. I never thought he could act Jung Geun.


Music: It did not convince me to download at least one OST. They're nice, though.


I won't re-watch nor recommend this.

Just like its tittle: warm and comforting

PLOT:
Meeting in Jeju between a rich, disillusioned and lazy ML, owner of a restaurant, and the FL in pursuit of her cousin, who bought a ruin with the funds she lent him. The ML takes in the FL, they work together and live together, despite the tricks of the ML's friend, not interested in the ML (because she wants a rich husband) but jealous (and wants to continue playing with him).

PROS:
+ Lots of excellent actors (｡◝‿◜｡), including Yoo Yeon Seok (ML) and Kang So Ra (FL), who have great chemistry.
+ Intelligent, well-written story, with coherent character development.
+ endearing secondary characters
+ the little touch of humor, notably the inner thoughts of the FL.

CONS:
- Many misunderstandings created just by things left unsaid

=> An excellent series (which I will undoubtedly watch again in a few years), like its name: warm and comforting.

************************************************************
PLOT:
Rencontre à Jeju entre 1 ML riche, désabusé et lazy, proprio d'1 restaurant, et la FL à la poursuite de son cousin, qui a acheté une ruine avec les fonds qu'elle lui a prêtés. Le ML recueille la FL, ils travaillent ensemble et cohabitent, en dépit des ruses de l'amie du ML, non intéressée par le ML (car elle veut 1 mari riche) mais jalouse (et veut continuer à jouer avec lui).

PROS:
+ Bcp d'excellents acteurs (｡◝‿◜｡), dont Yoo Yeon Seok (ML) et Kang So Ra (FL),qui ont une alchimie formidable.
+ Story intelligente, bien écrite, avec une évolution des personnages cohérente.
+ des personnages secondaires attachants
+ la petite touche d'humour, notamment les pensées intérieures de la FL.

CONS:
- Beaucoup de malentendus créés juste par des non-dits

=> Une excellente série (que je regarderai sans doute à nouveau dans quelques années), comme son nom : chaude et réconfortante.
