Set in Yeonriri, a village nicknamed a “clean yet fierce(?) zone.” The story follows the city-born family of Seong Tae Hun, who move down from Seoul to Yeonriri and struggle to return to the city. Through their experiences, the drama portrays both a chaotic family reboot and a healing journey. At the center of the village are Im Ju Hyeong, the longtime village head who is devoted to protecting Yeonriri, and Nam Hye Seon, the women’s association president and an influential figure in the community. Tension arises when Tae Hun’s company, “Mat Story,” begins to shake up the village. Meanwhile, Tae Hun’s son Seong Ji Cheon, who secretly drops out of medical school after realizing it is not his true path, moves to Yeonriri with his family and begins searching for his true self. There, he meets Im Bo Mi, a native of Yeonriri and the daughter of Im Ju Hyeong and Nam Hye Seon. As their relationship develops, the younger generation finds themselves navigating love and personal choices amid the larger conflict between the village residents and the incoming city family. The series brings together the stories of longtime villagers, a city family trying to adapt, and young people facing love and life decisions, blending humor and healing within the setting of Yeonriri.

Reviews
nothing standard though nothing special
We have here a non-standard Korean family drama. It is non-standard because none of the typical Korean trops are present and because it displays a critical view on some parts of the current Korean social problems. It has a slightly psychological and social note, yet nothing is excessive or too strong. The comedy part is also very refrained, in my opinion it was intentionally kept like this. After a slow start (that matches well the remaining of the story), I had the feeling that the story is written with very much love . As usual, camera work and direction are highly professional. The best are the actors, very experienced ones but also the fresh ones are doing an excellent work, even if they do not get much air time. I would be very glad to see soon again the smile of Choi Gyu Ri in a main role.I can imagine that, due to the reserved tone, non-standard themes and absence of the hyped actors, the ratings would remain a lot under the true value of this good work.
The Lead and Rural Life: The family's forced relocation from the big city to the chaos of the countryside (Yeonri-ri) brings hilarious moments. Watching a proud corporate expert try to grow the "perfect cabbage" carries the entire show.
Low-key Romance: The subtle romance between the supporting characters (like Ji-cheon and Bo-mi) never steals the spotlight, serving as a nice breather for the main plot.
Loose Ends: The script leaves a few corporate conflicts and minor subplots unresolved in the final stretch, without much explanation. While it doesn't reinvent the wheel, it delivers exactly what it promises: a cozy, pollution-free comedy that is genuinely fun to watch.
