I decided to watch this drama because of Yoo Yeon Seok, as he is one of my favourite actors. It is a perfect watch for someone who loves light and feel-good romance stories, with no crazy plot twists and conspiracies, but still all the good elements of a quality production.

The way the story starts to unfold in the beginning is really captivating. You can't help but fall for the undeniable charms of Baek Geon Woo, as well as sympathise with the unfortunate situation of Lee Jung Joo and get really curious over the mystery revolving Geon Woo and Jeong Joo's families and the possible ties between them. The general scenery as well as the individual sets are very beautiful and they kind of act as touristic promotion for Jeju Island. Most of the characters are loveable and even the ones that act as the "villains" bring their own flavour to the drama. In general, all these elements help give the series a feeling just as described in the title: Warm and Cozy.

That being said, there are a few points that don't really help the plot progress and, eventually, come to a close just as naturally as it started, in my opinion. I feel like the romance between the two main characters is slowly and steadily built for the most part, but a big revelation of Geon Woo's feelings is kinda missing. Also, I can't help but feel really sad for the second male lead, as he was one of my favourite characters but had to experience so much heart-break even though he was an absolute sweetheart. The start of a possible relationship with Geon Woo's sister in the end doesn't really make up for all he's been through and is also not very believable, to add to that. At the same time, the romance between Geon Woo's brother and Hae Sil is also not very believeable, as it was very fast paced and felt kind of forced on Hae Sil's side. The mystery revolving Geon Woo's family made for a poor series conflict in my opinion and wasn't even resolved properly in the end, so a lot of the characters' decisions that were based on that were unnecessary. Additionally, there is not much character development for the main antagonist, Ji Won, as she basically remains the same throughout the series and even gets her own "happy ending", never actually facing any reall consequences for her actions.

In the end, I have to say that watching these series was an overall enjoyable experience, with great acting as expected from such a cast and the charms of a life in Jeju Island winning you over. However, I cannot forgive the, in some aspects, poor plot progression so I would probably not watch this again.
