> Small town vibe, Insomina , Coffee , Books (K-Drama) .. that's just my dream ... "Eating and sleeping well... Is that all there is to life?" this is actually my goal in life.

This one is really slow paced, it's all about mood and feeling rather than action and drama. It's like sitting in front of a warm log fire and reading a nice book with a glass of wine/tea. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, and it's a very different role for Park Min Young. It digs into the histories of some interesting characters and we watch them go through their lives briefly. I enjoyed it but sometimes, honestly found it difficult to stay attentive as I watched it while working i didn't feel the rush to skip scenes either.

PLOT
------

Did I say it was slow? Like a glacier, and some times even slower than that. But it's not slow because it can't get to the point, or wants to just spread the story super thin. It's because the story is about the characters, the way they are handling wounds that might be new or decades old, how situations change and how the characters evolve around that.

I enjoyed it a lot, there's lots of nice slow tempo music which fits the pace and the views in the scenes are often stunning as it's set in Gangwon Province - not in the tree's like "Forest" but in a small village. We'll join in with a school reunion, with various activities the village people get together for, as well as following the various characters on their journey. Honestly i think I enjoyed this as much for the small slice of life it offers, a glimpse into a different pace and something that feels more traditionally Korean than some of the ones set in the busy hustle of the city.

There are some touching moments, and there are some downright comedic ones mostly thanks to Im Hui, who was absolutely the light in the show for me - she's a force to be reckoned with and her approach to life, her little outbursts and how she is with friends and family can be hilarious.


CAST
------

It is a rather pleasant surprise to see Park Min Young venturing into the slice-of-life scene after starring in popular rom-coms; I feel like it has become a more apparent trend for Hallyu actors to take on indie projects and introduce more diversity to the international drama community

I must say this is a fairly defining role for Seo Kang Joon. As a couple, Park Min Young and Seo Kang Joon show a rather unlikely chemistry, probably due to the fact that Min Young is such a veteran

I also thought the supporting cast is very well-chosen, especially Eun Sub's sister Im Hwi and best friend Jang Woo.

The rest of the cast truly is also amazing, and really makes the town feel 100% real. One good thing about the pace is that it gives time for the supporting cast to also be portrayed as complicated well-developed characters, whether I loved or hated them. So many of the supporting characters got me in the feels... Mom and Aunt in the matching sunglasses (my favorites), Eun Sub's parents and hilariously obnoxious little sister, The book editor, The frenemy, The book club, and goofy but reliable Lee Jang Woo... eventually I felt like I knew the whole town well, and along with the gorgeous shots of the scenery,


VERDICT
----------
You need to be in the mood for something slow and relaxing for this one. If you find yourself in other dramas thinking "come on get on with it" - you're not going to enjoy this.

There is no stupid ill-fated Love , Love Triangles and Jealously ; we just watch two depressed and hurt humans embrace and provide warmth to each until **The Weather is NICE**

There's no reason this couldn't be watched over and over if you find yourself in the mood for the pace and story, if you have a lot on your mind and you want something that will just play in the background while your mind races away and not worry that you're missing things; I actually didn't miss much ; it can be a good story to put on and hopefully calm your mind.
