Snowflakes Overload Can't Hide Fatal Flaws Of this Drama
From my perspective, this drama simply didn’t work. I was hoping for depth, but the dialogue, plot, pacing, and even the romance between the ML and FL felt flat to me. They spend so much time building the relationship, yet when it finally materializes, it comes across like a child’s version of romance.The visuals made it even harder for me to connect with the story. At times, it felt like watching Alice in Wonderland or a fairy‑tale movie meant for kids. The overly bright colors, the endless snowflakes, the glowing scenery, and the dreamy roads made everything look too whimsical and unrealistic for my taste.
I genuinely wanted to enjoy this drama — I really liked both the ML and FL — but the overall presentation felt staged and theatrical, and I just couldn’t take it seriously. It had funny and entertaining moments, but overall it ended up being a major letdown. No amount of snowflakes or pretty scenery could distract me from how boring and nonsensical the story felt.

Compelling and Enjoyable
Overall Impression:I only started watching this show because of Jung So Min (JSM). My admiration for her brought me to this show. However, I found a few more actors that I will be adding to my interesting actor/actress list.
I admit that I am a sucker for romantic comedy. But this was simply well done. The connection and delivery from both Lee Joo and Jung So Min were outstanding.
Acting:
Let’s start with JSM. I thought her acting was superb. She hit every single point and delivered. I felt her pain as well as her smile. Cute, funny, awkward and relatable, her delivery was flawless as usual. I also enjoyed her connection with Lee Joo—I left like a fly on the wall, watching everything and I love their interactions.
I also came away impressed with the entire cast’s acting. From JSM to Park Hye Sook Each cast member more than delivered on their role. I loved Lee Yoo Ri's performance.; her character and her awesome fierceness. Both Kim Yeong Cheol and Kim Hae Sook were amazing. The entire crew was superb.
Story:
I love it when a show transports me to another world and make me feel like I am a part of the story. This drama did just that for me. While the story is a bit stretched out and draggy, I found it compelling and interesting. I loved the family dynamic, and I enjoyed the love they had for each other.
OST: I love the soundtrack. So much so that I cannot stop singing "You will be in my heart" :)
If you are hesitant about this show; I say go ahead and give it a try. I don't think you will regret it. It is an emotional, funny, charming and compelling drama.

More than worth the Watch
I truly enjoyed this movie. This was my first foray into modern KDrama ( unusually watch Historical Drama) and I am quite impressed. I started watching this movie because I love the acting of Jung So Min in Alchemy of Souls as I couldn't get enough of her.As expected, she shone brightly again in this drama, I also enjoyed the acting from the remaining cast. especially from the ML..
Cozy, relaxing, this drama offers both a serious and introspective look at the lives of young adult in South Korea. It covers a tapestry or subjects to include
romance, finance, piety and traditions.
Light. comical, romantic this drama has everything and I highly recommend it
