Sometimes I think the writers do it on purpose lol
I didn't have high expectations, I just excited about the farm romance theme.However, I didn't expect it to actually go downhill.
The drama starts out very interesting, it has the vibe of a funny romantic comedy, and in fact, it is. However, it seems to me that the screenwriters purposely made the worst choices! It is not possible that anyone thought the narrative choices were made in this story were good.
What was supposed to be interesting, especially seeing the male protagonist struggling to adapt to life on the farm and even further exploring the female protagonist's choices in leaving the big city, became a big mess. In fact, it became a love competition.
Obviously, the scriptwriters brought in the old tactic of the second lead and the second female, but with an awful detail: the second female is the FL's BEST FRIEND, and the second lead thinks it's a god idea to live in the FL's house because, of course, he has been in love since college, so she "needs" to accept him.
I don't blame ML for being bothered by the situation, after all, FL playing dumb with the closeness that her friend has with her is eye-rolling. But.. ok. Nevermind, she didn't know *yeah, right*
For me, if the story were *just* the two of them adapting to farm life and ML's complications in having to choose the big city and be with the woman he loves, it would be much better, but it seems to me that, honestly, the writers cannot make reasonable choices.
Furthermore, I thought it was a wasted chemistry between the actors, and I would really like them to explore FL life more; I missed knowing more about her.

Too much drama, not enough harvesting!
6.8/10I chose to watch this completely on a whim and it was cute at first but then it kinda lost me towards the end.
I wasn’t expecting deep character development or anything and also fine with some clichés but the SML and SFL were so frustrating. They had no respect for boundaries constantly interfering in the other's business which made it feel less like a rom-com and more like a drama for drama's sake. The whole "breakup and reunion" thing was way too predictable and dragged out which just got annoying.
But all was not lost.It does have its cheesy romantic moments. The bickering was fun too. They had this perfect mix of teasing and tension, like they couldn't stand each other but also clearly liked each other.
The pace felt fast but considering the run time and it's a mini drama, it's understandable.
Overall , It’s okay for a one-time watch. I went into it looking for something light and farm feels but wish they kept it breezy. Also it could’ve been way shorter too, so much filler with the same repetitive story lines.
Recommended If you’re into the arranged marriage trope and don’t mind some cheesy drama with cliche tropes. But definitely not the worst out there.

Fill with spoiler. Watch with ur own risk
Quite intrigue watch this short drama... But as usual with short drama, this also quite fast pace & a little week at the end.Tell story about Lin Xian (LX) & Zhuang Xiao Man (XM). They arranged to be engaged by their grandpa. But after a little threatened by LX's grandpa, LX finally settled in XM house. XM that's being sick by all the blind date the villager arranged for her & LX that's need to be agreed to his grandpa make a little secret deal, to be agreed in their engagement for about 1.5 month and after that they agreed to break the relationship.
But.... Because LX & XM is the main couple here, of course they finally fall in love with each other. LX that gets used to with farming life also falling in love with the lifestyle in the village. The end...? Haha.... This is drama, of course not....
LX's company turn out hanging on the cliff, and before coming to the village, he made a deal with Lu Yao (LY) to be her fiance. LY try to break LX & XM relationship through Chen Jingwen & successful. They break up. But later on XM find out the truth & decided to chase LX to the city. Will it successful? Well... I think I spoiled enough. You need to continue watch urself.
What rush?
- The way XM & LX fall in love feel a little bit rush. Suddenly they just already fall in love with each other.
- The ending. Ugh... I really wish for better ending...
Overall do I feel this worth watching? For short drama YES! This has beginning, middle and end. The story quite clear & good. The acting also quite good, not feel the actor/ess like just graduates from acting students drama.

It was great, until...
Don't Disturb Me Farming was actually a really nice journey. Until the final few episodes, which changed the story drastically. This is because of the introduction of many rushed points that were also either irrelevant or bad. It's one of those where you think to yourself: which is more important, the journey or the destination?I really liked the farming aesthetic and it has made me want to watch more farming-based dramas and web series. There was this sort of calmness that I liked with it. The cinematography therefore was something that I enjoyed. Something I didn't enjoy too much were the characters. The acting and cast were good for the most part, but the personality traits of the characters, most of them anyway, were not so good.
This is a difficult one to rate as at the start I enjoyed it so much, but now that I've watched all of it, I just feel almost dissatisfied?
On the plus side, this has one of the strongest OSTs I have heard in a long time.

Started at good, hit a speed bump but ended well
It started out well. I loved a country setting because nearly all C-dramas are set in the city. I liked ML finally joining in and helping out on the farm instead of sitting around like a snooty prick. But like most C-dramas, the scriptwriter managed to kill the good feelings in the middle thanks to - you guessed it - a mean chick who was supposedly FL's 'friend'. Then ML gets on his high horse. I recommend skipping 20-23 to the ending, which is happy. Thankfully, these episodes are brief so the angst ought to go quickly if you chose to watch it. I don't recommend it because I can't stand petty men (or women); it particularly looks bad on a man, but ML has that type of personality.Was this review helpful to you?
Good Filler
This drama was cute, it's a good filler drama while you are waiting for current series to air. Didn't take me long to finish, I watched it in one night. Wished they talked about the grandpas a little more. I wanted to know how their grandpas were friends and their story. It has a typical plot, ML and FL have a misunderstanding ML goes away and ignores her then FL feels sad and so on.Was this review helpful to you?
Nice, light, but too many clichés
Mini series (24 x15 minutes) on the plot Rich & arrogant ML VS down-to-earth poor FL.Nice start, but with a lot of clichés (financial crisis of the Company, villain love rival, fake engagement, etc.).
The pace is fast (it's a mini) but nothing is developed and seems a little superficial.
This series onlly allows young actors to show their talent.

Mini série (24 x15 minutes) sur le plot Rich & arrogant ML VS down-to-earth poor FL.
Débuts sympa, mais avec beaucoup de clichés (crise financière de la Cie, villain love rival, fake engagement, etc.).
Le rythme est rapide (c'est un mini) mais rien n'est développé et parait un peu superficiel.
Cela permet surtout à de jeunes acteurs de montrer leur talent.

Eu ameiii!!!!!Achei que o casal teve química, a história não ficou enrolando e nem fazendo rodeios.
Só teve dois personagens que me encheram a paciência, o ex colega que volta e agora quer se declarar (ok, tem q tentar a sorte), mas a prota fica defendendo ele em uns momentos nada a ver sendo q ela já estava interessada em seu falso noivo.
A melhor amiga da prota, achei uma cobra, fala na cara a amiga q o cara q ela estava gostando é bem o noivo dela (q???? )e a pior parte nem é essa, é quando ela aceita acabar com o relacionamento da amiga a troco de dinheiro!!! Manooooo. Ela não me convenceu até o fim, falsa demais.
Mas no geral, é divertido e interessante (maratonei num dia)
Acho que eu estava na vibe , por isso gostei tanto
