Kim Ji Won, the female lead (whose character happens to have the same name as SJS's character) was really chatty and cute.
This was just a sweet little romance developing story. It's not groundbreaking, or even exciting. It would be a nice rainy Saturday time pass. I don't remember the music if there was any. Not really suited to re-watch.

The story is pretty straightforward, no great twists and surprises, it delivers just what it promises: a nice low-key story about two people getting to know each other and falling in love. To boot, it offers some funny and heartfelt interactions with the rest of the minor cast and is an all-around feel-good experience.
Took me a while to warm up to So Ji Sub's character because he was SO introverted for almost half the show, but warm up to him I did (though I'm starting to wonder whether this is something to do with the actor himself, all the roles I've seen him in so far, I've had a similar problem, apart from where the character was explicitly introverted). The main female lead was sweet enough, though ultimately a bit forgettable, which I suppose is what most ordinary people are like so in this sense this added a touch of realism to the story.
All in all, nothing was over-the-top - either in a bad or a great way. An enjoyable little piece.

So Ji Sub, learn to talk.
To sum it up in that many words, So Ji Sub used in this drama: "...".Honestly, I don't know where to start. He didn't say anything and it feels like even some support characters got more dialog scenes than him. Kim Ji Won and the singer from the OST where the only ones who were talking.
W.T.F.
// Really? Even the review needs to be at least 500 characters long? This is much more than So Ji Sub talked in the drama? How can I review more than he was talking? Argh. Lost time of my life.

A Short, Unmemorable Melodrama
This is a short melodrama that isn't terrible but isn't anything to write home about either. It was originally released as 10 episodes that are 12 minutes each, but has also been combined into a movie. I don't think that it is worth going out of your way to watch but I also do not think that it is so terrible that it is a never watch.Story: You have a male lead and a female lead in Jeju, a place unfamiliar to them, and some of the typical Kdrama romance tropes ensure. The lighting of the show is muted and dark and the pacing is slow, similar to melodramas. Nothing particular special or unexpected really happens.
Acting: Kim Ji Won plays a sort of generic, sweet, bright girl. So Ji Sub plays a generic male who has such difficulty expressing his feelings that he either doesn't talk or gives ambiguous explanation.
Music: I think there is literally one song, so the OST isn't that deep.
Rewatch Value: The story isn't particularly charming or unique to rewatch.
Overall, this is either a quick, forgettable watch or a drama to pass on.

This is healing phase from a breakup No Romance
One boring male lead fell in love with a very interesting female lead. A 2 hour movie with no chemistry at all! I like Kim Ji Won's character with the same name with So Ji Sub's character, what coincidence! I mistakenly watched it twice because I couldn't remember what it was all about when I saw it last year.One thing I like is that ML is kind and very nice to FL when she was sick. What I don't like is that some scenes were like only FL was talking and ML was not engaging, he doesn't talk much. And no romance not until the end. Liking someone is hard, I felt FL has to initiate and confess her interest to see him again. That's tough I don't know if I can do it.

Story
It didn't had much story..but it was ok..and i didn't felt there is anything lacking cuz it was a mini drama..if it was a long one it wouldn't be enough..
There were many funny moments...and also moments which force us to fall in love..
Cast
So Ji Sub- he didn't have enough lines...but!!!!! he always used his lovely face to express..those master's sun expressions were there..ahhh i must stop now cuz i will write billion sentences about how good he was..
any way even you are not a fan of him you surely love his character here...
Kim Ji Won-i was not a fan of kim ji won before this...but awww.she was so adorable here.and now i love her.^_^
Kim Yeong Wung- he was funny,..
Kim Mi Kyung- didn't notice it was her..but later realized she was kinda cupid there.
Music
Nothing much to say ..but there was a cute song...
Rewatch Value

Contemplative and atmospheric
This is another one for my list of contemplative and atmospheric shows. Admittedly not everyone's cup of tea but I just love these types shows which move in a seemingly real-time pace.We have a stoic guy and a bubbly girl who keeps the conversation going - I absolutely loved it.
The story isn't new and it's definitely been done before - before sunrise, before sunset, hello stranger. Strangers meeting in an unfamiliar city or in this case unfamiliar island.
Again not everyone's cup of tea but if you're like me who loves slow burns like these - Main leads just talking, walking looking around and talking again with a bit of music or narration then this is it.

Such a cute drama that was the perfect duration. I think if it was any longer it would become the typical dramas where there are unnecessary misunderstandings, miscommunication and other issues maybe even some cliched second lead drama. The story is cute, baring in mind you don't really know much about the main actors/resses till the last couple of episodes. I liked that as the drama focused on finding new love, which can seem inconceivable when you've gone through a bad break-up. The mild comedy was the policeman/florist/taxi driver/everyone else that seemed to pop up everywhere only to be noticed by Ji Sub.
The acting was cute, I think KJWon shone in this as a care-free woman that took charge, Ji Sub was adorable in this, his awkward acting was cute to watch....but I couldn't get over his hair in this drama....really bothered me lol. Love the fact that Lee Jong Hyuk was in this as the CEO (he was in Masters sun as JS's business rival), also loved their friendship.
Music was nice and chilled which went well with the drama.
This isn't really a drama you'd rewatch just because - 1. it is very short and 2. it isn't that exciting. You sit there watching thinking 'awww, its coming up to the last couple of episodes I wonder who will confess first' knowing what will happen.
So definitely watch it especially if you love the lead characters, you are tired of the heavy drama and suspense filled melodramas and want something light or you're inbetween episodes and need something to fill the time.
