They have improved!
Compared to "Tide of Love" they've definitely improved the camera work, sets design and scene cut. There are still a couple of mistakes, but I was able to tell that they tried. They even incorporated some color themes, which I always appreciate. The acting was over the top, as per usual, but that's what I'm here for. It reminds me of queer media from the past as well as Japanese Pinku Eiga, so basically underground gay movies and series. Overacting and dramatic plots that combine the tragic with the comical are the bread and butter of that genre. All in all I had a good time while watching this little series. It's campy and you can definitely have a good laugh while watching. And if you look past the silly, there is also a tragic story about wanting to be loved and finding acceptance, which is very human.I give this series a 7.5/10, because they tried and they entertained me well.
On a side note: That Dadada song has been stuck in my head for days now lol

It tried to do too much all at once and then did too little
I think the series would've been a lot more enjoyable and focused without the rival plot an an ex-boyfriend who offed himself. Characters don't need a sad backstory to be interesting. There is nothing wrong with a sweet country side romance between a bratty city boy and a handsome farmer daddy. A slow-burn about their daily lives on the tea farm would've been more than enough to entertain me. Sprinkle in a couple of cute and sexy scenes and we're all good. I really don't get why they tried to turn Sila into a typical CEO-character and had him quarrel with another company's heir. He's a farmer for god's sake. Instead of having him run around in a suit in his fancy hotel/office meeting room, show him topless while doing manual labor on his farm. Let him carry around barrels of tea wine, have him build a fence, pour cold water over his hot naked body idk There were so many options, but alas... And by the way, where was the daddy kink? I'm not the biggest fan of it personally, but given the name of the series, I really thought we'd get at least some kink-representation... That was pretty much the reason I even started watching the series.Oh well, all in all it was an ok watch. They tried.
