The Package was something that grew onto me, I have to admit at first I only watched it because of Jung Yong Hwa. But after a couple of episodes, I fell for the supporting cast, who definitely made this show so special and loveable.

Story; It's good, but in my opinion, I wish that they skipped some of the cliche moments between the main characters in the first episodes. Rather than being invested in the love-line of 'San Ma Roo and Yoon So So' I was watching for the supporting cast and their stories.  I wanted to know why the old woman was so sad and what relationship the"young girl / old man" couple had. I felt that I could relate to the characters and that's the main reason why this drama is so good.

Acting/Cast; To be honest, the acting was not that great. But it wasn't bad either, I think that they could have chosen better actors for the main couple, but even Jung Yong Hwa and Lee Yun Hee had their moments.

Music; It was good, had some sad ballads that were great for the gloomy moments that are sprinkled through the story. As well as some happy tunes that also fitted in with the vacation setting.

Rewatch Value; I think that this is a drama that I would enjoy watching again because now I know that there is gold is hiding underneath the surface of this "simple" drama.

I liked it, not because of good acting, great special effects or chemistry between the main characters. I liked it because every character (even the main ones who I've been trash talking this whole time) had something that I could relate to. They all had their struggles and they were definitely not perfect, just like real people with real-life problems. In K-dramas, I often feel that they try to make their characters to loveable and perfect which ends up in me not relating to them.

BTW; I guess that people who doesn't care about the typical k-drama cliches will like this show even more than I did, because there's stuffed with romantic moments between the main characters.
