One of THE best K-dramas I've seen in a while.
It's full of interesting small-town characters, a heartwarming story with a bit of mystery and just the right amount of not-always-happy nostalgia, fantastic cinematography and actors who really inhabit their roles. There's not a ton of action, but it never once, ever, feels slow. The pacing is just right.
I THOROUGHLY enjoyed Like Flowers in Sand and would recommend it in a heartbeat.
