Once Upon a Small Town

I thought the premise might be fun but soon realized this series is trying to imitate the success of "Small Town Cha Cha Cha" without the engaging actors, dialogue and storylines. There hasn't been any funny scenarios of the big city vet in the country. Officer Ahn is fairly pathetic. The vet is a dud and the big storyline is they played together as kids and he forgot. The screaming and hair pulling of women from rival towns is annoying. Had to fast forward through those scenes. The love triangle could be more interesting. I am liking the child actors better than the leads. If you are bored, tune in.

Yes, all but Hi Mama is good as recent reviewer mentions, but the series is cute so far and I wish people would give things a chance before giving it a rating that it really doesn't deserve. She/he doesn't like the actor or something so why rate something you don't want to watch in the first place. Oh, that's right, free speech. It's nothing like Hallmark movies because it's funny and most Korean dramas have strong character development unlike most American movies, hallmark or not. I read the webtoon and it's on target with the story so something like this you need to give 6-10 episodes because they are only 30 minutes long. BTW. Their chemistry is good considering they just met and i am looking forward to the upcoming episodes. If it goes downhill, I will drop the rating accordingly as rating shows should be.

This rom-com reminds those good-old kdramas. It is based on webtoon.

I know, I know... Story isn't new or revolutionary and is predictable but this drama is cute, adorable, heartwarming, healing, swoon-worthy, stress buster, feel-good.

Cute, adorable lead cast n their characters, even supporting cast is good.

This drama has beautiful countryside cinematography, beautiful aesthetics n OSTs.

Direction is good.

Leads Choo Young-woo and Joy are rookies but gave beautiful performances. They share adorable chemistry which grows with every episode.

I'll definitely miss this series and will cherish Forever couple JAYUL for long time.

I had a great time watching this series.

Yes, it definitely resembles to Hometown cha cha cha in a good way.

Nothing new to see here , what a shame, they just change the setting of the story and the profession and they literally reuse every single other thing in it.

Forced Love triangle, entangled past with childhood fated relationship, and rude male lead that sweetens up with time. It just gets too boring because you know what will happen with every single twist. Even the characters personalities feel a flashback of many other old kdramas.

I was looking forward to watch this but the quality isn't there and it doesn't even attract for you to keep watching, even though it's short and has only a few episodes it's almost unbearable.

If you want something exciting and thrilling, this is not it.

Even though it had a rough starting,its getting better and better by episode. Its true that we can't see that sparkling chemistry between the leads yet, but i guess its ok if we look through the plot perspective. We can't expect 2 people to magically fall in love at first sight and see butterflies.

The backdrops are good, the scenes are quite relatable to actual life of common people. It showcases how a normal countryside life is. The natural flavour of common people like friendship, love and care for others, the way of celebrating simple things ,the way the batter with each other, jealousy, etc these human emotions are well conveyed through the story and the acting.

Han Ji-yul- The Vet from the City- well for someone who left the country side long back and came back after years, we cant expect everything will be unicorns and rainbows.

Choo Young-woo in the role of Ji-yul was able to fit into the character.

Park Soo-young as Ahn Ja-young is also really good. Lets say may be the role was meant to be hers.

Same goes for Baek Seong-cheol as Lee Sang-hyeon. The cute jealous boy look suits the actor well.
