A Frustrating Love Triangle Overshadowed by One-Dimensional Characters

First and foremost, the villagers in this drama were extremely annoying. From the very beginning, the ahjummas barged into the male lead’s home uninvited. When he expressed his discomfort with their intrusion, they took offense, which felt entirely unjustified. It seems the writer aimed to portray the villagers as wholesome and family-oriented, but instead, they came across as rude and intrusive.

It was challenging to invest in the lead characters, including the second male lead, due to their one-dimensional portrayals. The acting didn’t help much either, as it often felt monotonous and lacking in emotional depth. You know how sometimes you find yourself rooting for the second male lead over the main guy, or vice versa? In this series, I didn’t feel that connection at all, which was disappointing, especially since the love triangle was supposed to be the main conflict.

Ultimately, I found myself indifferent to the romance. I was just watching for the dogs and puppies.
