This drama evokes the same feeling of wrapping up in a cozy blanket with some hot chocolate. It has a wonderfully sweet, fluffy aura about it that I don't recall in very many dramas, and I loved it. The story is not too complicated-- city girl moves to farm for whatever reason, clashes with country boy at first but then learns to run a vineyard and they fall in love. However, the atmosphere really was so sweet and peaceful for the most part-- some might say it was boring, but I found it relaxing, and it allowed for more focus on character moments and developments. Which, by the way, were very well played by the leads. Both YEH and OMS were excellent in their roles. YEH could be slightly annoying at times, but in a way that I found relatable -- I think most people would get a little whiny if they suddenly had to spend their entire day out working in a hot vineyard, right? And most of the time, I found her to be quite sweet and cute. OMS was just perfect in this role-- right on the nose as a low key, nice guy who is adorably earnest and hardworking. I totally fell for him in this role :) The supporting cast was nice, too, in the sense that it really felt like the entire village was a family. The other two leads were a bit annoying at times, but they were nowhere near as bad as many dramas. The music was fun at times ( I think mid-2000s dramas have a very distinctive music style) and some of the songs were very pretty, which added to the peaceful, romantic feel of the drama. I don't hardly EVER rematch dramas because I find that the annoying parts ( obnoxious second leads, stupids cliches or plot devices, etc) outweigh the cute moments. However, this drama was really light on those annoying bits, and heavy on the sweet, so I will likely watch this again someday. I really recommend this drama if you like cute, sweet romances and are looking for a more relaxed drama! It was really very lovely, and I hope you won't be disappointed.
