Great series. If it's for you, it's for you. Like all Kdramas...like anything on film, it's not for everyone. The plot, setting, characters, point of view, and conflict within the series are meant for those who enjoy small-town stories heavy on internal and external culture. If you can't understand that people think, behave, and live differently in different parts of the world, skip it. If you're interested in understanding how culture shapes the mind and influences the behaviors of others outside your sphere, it's a great watch. Excellent chemistry throughout the whole cast, especially between the male and female leads. In particular, the male lead nails this role!
