A very pleasant yet calming story of two individuals. The story does not have any unnecessary side plot or annoying SL's! The drama depicts how doctors can love life too without any medical scenes which is quite refreshing. Also, the Male Lead is a breath of fresh air, not the airheaded/cold-hearted CEO who annoys/bullies the girl he likes in fact he is the one who makes her into a better person. A sweet, loving funny, empathetic, down-to-earth rich guy is every girl's dream! A must-watch for those who love peaceful dramas!
Both dramas start off by one of the main characters moving from a big city to a town for work. At the beginning of both dramas, the main leads meet several times because one of them has multiple jobs, which is something that confuses the other.
