It was just okay. It was filled with lighthearted, bubbly moments but seemed to be confused with what exactly it wanted to be. There were a few plot lines that were wholly unnecessary and seemed like they were thrown in to make things “interesting.” Certain parts felt overdramatized and cliche when this kind of show didn’t need any of that; it could have just been about beer, romantic love, and self-discovery.

Sejong, as usual, was a delight to watch. She definitely had the most serious plot lines and her acting felt very real. The ML was an absolute green flag and sweetheart, and his story was quite unique for a kdrama. The first few episodes had me intrigued over how the writers would use his “gift” in the story.

Some of the supporting cast was cute, but the others felt bland. I did like the village members and their dynamic, but sometimes their scenes dragged on a bit too long. However, they still felt like more complete characters than the Jisang Beverage employees, whom I didn’t feel a lot of connection. Part of this could have been due to the acting, as most of these actors are very young and perhaps lack some experience. Furthermore, many of the “dramatic” or “mysterious” plot points weren’t either of those things and I found myself checking out.

As I’m writing this review, I’m realizing I recall very little about the story. This is probably because I came back to it for the last 3 episodes after putting it on hiatus for two months…
