This drama was sweet, warm, and made me feel very cozy every time I tuned in for an episode.
It doesn’t have the best script in the world, and sometimes the relationships were an absolute jumble of confused push and pull, but the actors managed to always bring some light and smiles.
Every episode made me want another, simply for the beautiful scenery and the delightful acting. Each actor was so talented and I cannot wait to see what they do next. To put it simply, Warm and Cozy was a fun simple romantic delight.
P.S. It’s a nice break from super heavy melodramas
Just like it’s title, the drama is soo ‘Warm and Cozy’! I love this drama so much! It was such an enjoyable ride! It has a very light, fluffy, cute story. I feel all warm and cozy when watching this drama, the actors did a very good job in potraying each character. The music was definitely good, and it gave us so many feels of the drama! Good job warm and cozy team, will miss this drama a lot! 🙂
One would expect a ‘Warm and Cozy’ drama to stay like that. However this quickly deteriorated into a boring and pointless drama. Don’t get me wrong. The leads, romance, atmosphere and setting are all lovely. It has its strengths and won’t fail to entertain you- depending on what you think entertaining is. If you’re looking for some laughs, random cuteness and eye candy this drama is for you. Else, look away.
This drama can best be compared to Full House. Their resemblance at times was eery. Both dramas have a bickering couple, cuteness, a killer OST and a lot of repetitiveness. It’s basically the whole back and forth of will-they-wont-they. The thing is you already know the answer and if you are not patient or if you don’t have a lot of time on your hands you’d just want to give up.
I wish this drama could have remained the way it was introduced. A bit random but fresh with a lot of appeal. I won’t say the freshness died or anything because come on, it is set in JEJU frickkin island. The cinematography was killer and the lead pair is endlessly soothing to look at. I really enjoyed the old school Kdrama style it followed at times but during others it made me want to tear my hair out.
I didn’t have the will to rate it higher than a 8 nor did I have the heart to rate it lower. The second leads are terrible in the drama. The other couple (hyung and the diver lady) were the funniest till their relationship had nothing left anymore.
I want to mention the little attempt the drama makes at encouraging people to try living in Jeju- including foreigners. I liked how they have little programs for people to adjust to the lifestyle there. Plus they showed a really nice relationship of the people living there. The mayor was shown as a sweetheart to all the people and the way he went around in his bicycle was adorable. <3
Baek Geon Woo was a cutie at times and a jerk at others. I wish Lee Jung Joo could be a bit hard at times but she was too soft-hearted. A classic Kdrama heroine in short. Think of Full House and the characters are almost a replica at times. I dunno if anyone else felt that way or not but I did.
Anyway, I had a lot of issues with the drama but couldn’t get to rate it any lower. Like Dramabeans says, how much I enjoyed it v/s how much it deserves- I’d say an 8 v/s 6. That’s it. Now decide for yourself whether you wanna watch it or not.
