first of all, the villagers were annoying. right from the start, the ahjummas barged into the ml's home. and when the ml expressed how uncomfortable he was with their action, they took offense. i believe the writer wanted to create the image that the villagers were wholesome and family-like, but they looked rude instead.

it was tough to be invested in the lead characters (the second guy included) because they were so one-dimensional, and the acting didn't help because it was monotonous. you know how you are sometimes rooting for the second male lead instead of the main guy and vice versa? well, i didn't get that feeling at all from this series, which was sad since love triangle was the main conflict.

i didn't care about the romance, i was watching for the dogs and puppies.
