This show is sweet, cozy, and endlessly warm. It's quiet, humble, and quaint. You can't help but cheer for these characters. Plus, it is an absolute feast for the eyes and the ears. Truly beautiful cinematography and landscapes, and even better music. I felt like I was in a video game like Harvest Moon or Animal Crossing. Half the time, it was like ASMR in drama-form.

The story gets such a middling review from me because it is really slow. I found myself falling asleep in the middle of episodes a LOT. I suppose this is good if you're looking to relax, but it also meant that some parts were honestly just a bit boring.

Eun Seop is gentle and sturdy. Where can I find an Eun Seop in my life? I understand completely how Hae Won feels warm when she is with him. Plus, Seo Kang Joon's EYES! They are a window to the soul. And I would be remiss not to mention how lovely it was to see Eun Seop and Hae Won smile. Both of them have killer smiles that "light up the whole world," and were rare enough for me to revel in the moments they appeared.

The supporting cast is loving and wonderful as well. I didn't grow up in a small town, but I understand the charm —  especially as Jang Woo explained his life choices at the end. And I want to bundle up Seung Ho and take him with me. Hwi, her friend, and the LED light guy weren't my favourites, but that's okay.

Finally, this review would be incomplete if I didn't mention the masterful performance of the sisters. Their story was so important, and they played their parts well. I just wish we got more confirmation that they were taking care of themselves by the end. But as much as these women were fearless and portrayed important things, my favourite part was revelling in the sweet moments between Hae Won and Eun Seop. I can see myself revisiting their scenes together for a long time.
