Soompi: Latest K-Pop, K-Drama, Korean Entertainment News (2024)5 K-Dramas That Feel Like A Summer Vacation
Joakim Fors@EllenInEdmonton Yeah, that drama was a slog. I should have just dropped it.
Wooden is the right word, no chemistry what so ever between the leads.

I would say that the direction for Welcome to Samdal-Ri was less than inspired, and the location on Jeju-Do was the star of that show. JCW's character often seemed wooden to me, even though he's been amazing in other shows. Also, Shin Hye-sun seems to be an actor whose main facial expression is a kind of pained squint, so I have a hard time seeing her as a romantic lead.
Kim Mi Kyung was excellent, of course!

@commonst @EllenInEdmonton @ShaulaEvans … another reason I had a hard time getting through Ep 1 was Ji Chang Wook as I didn't connect with him at all in Welcome to Samdal-ri… where as it happens he reunited with Kim Mi Kyung (who was very good).
Andrea “KoreanPassion”I’m so busy with work these days, but on Sunday, I finished “Welcome to Samdal-ri” and liked it very much!
I think they (the authors) have had some good ideas like Jeju, the haenyeos, and the meteorological agency and put these together to create a drama that is so beautiful, “light”, and pleasant. I’m sorry I didn’t discover it sooner.
Oh, and Shin Hye-sun is so adorable as always! 😊 (but I also appreciated the two “sisters”, Shin Dong-mi and Kang Mi-na)
Yesterday, I watched episode 11 of “Welcome to Samdal-ri”, and towards the end, I immediately recognized the song “Good Person” (좋은 사람) by Kim Na Young! Oh, what a beautiful song!! 🥰
P.S. The “Welcome to Samdal-ri” story is really nice!

Oh, I agree with that! It's quite pleasant in many ways and I won't stop watching. I just think that it's lacking in a cohesive and engaging plot. I had a similar feeling about #WelcomeToSamdalRi.

@s1m0n4 Agreed. And #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay and #ADailyDoseOfSunshine both did FAR better with #MentalHeal storylines. Like I said, I'm enjoying watching cute people be cute together but it's an extremely bland story, similar to #WelcomeToSamdalRi.
They may both be Netflix productions, which tend to be geared more towards western tastes, without all of the weird loveliness that makes #kdrama so much fun.

I definitely loved #TwentyFiveTwentyOne but the OP wants a drama that's "low tension", which is perfectly fair at certain points in one's life. I found #WelcomeToSamdalRi to be very low tension, to the point that I found it somewhat dull in parts. It's not yet finished, but I think that #DoctorSlump is also fairly low tension. Most of the dramas crank our emotions up several notches! #kdrama

Dope Old PersonI decided to not finish #welcometosamdalri last night, but went to bed and started #Siddhartha #HermannHesse which is not a light hearted bedtime read - but if #Namjoon can, so can I. Then woke up this morning to a poem on Weverse from our great leader - on his own journey... #Seollal
