Subjective Rating - 7.75

I needed something light after a stressful watch, and “Love Tractor” seems like a good idea. However, I am not as impressed with it as many others.

Is Ye Chan cute? To a certain extent, yes. But his cuteness also grates on me after a while, especially his pouting. I mean, I don’t think I’ve ever met a 20-year old act like this, in real life or in drama-land. Oh, he also does not look 20 (the actor is 25 in real life). I am also not a big fan of the persistent chasing after a guy to the point of being stalkerish. But since this is Yoon Do Jin’s first drama, I think he does a decent job.

Do Won is a more experienced actor and his portrayal of Seon Yul is more subtle. I do like him more towards the second half of the drama. The drama gives us enough to get to know him and his background story.

The plot itself is simple and that’s okay. I was not expecting deep characterization or a very complicated story to be told within 8 short episodes. I enjoy the scenery and villagers who are not annoying. The side characters do not distract me from the main characters.

The romance is a little lacking. I am not feeling a lot of romantic chemistry between the two. Seon Yul appears to treat Ye Chan as his annoying but cute little brother. I see no reason why they would fall in love with each other.

If you are looking for something simple and light, and the cuteness of Ye Chan doesn’t bother you, then this is a good watch. However, I don’t think it suits my taste, or what I am looking for at the moment.
