An awesome travel drama. Like a tourist travel. Because it was shot in France way back in 2016 and fully pre produced before it was shown this year. It was just a bit dragging in the middle when they were telling the stories of each individual and how they came to be the part of that "packaged" tourist travel group. But it picked up again, so it was fun to watch till the end. Acting was just ok. Nothing spectacular. I guess, there was no need since they had an awesome back drop for the drama already and they just needed a light story to get it completed into a feel good drama. You may or may not watch it. The choice is yours.

The story talks about about a group of very different people who embark on a guided tour in France. people connecting and building relationships as they deal with life, love, and unexpected events and The story talks about some foreign lands that were in the past and statues.
This was a very interesting and light drama. As soon as you watch you will understand, it was a great start but at the end he found the love of his life or the love of his valued

I thank the director for his beautiful and fun story and I thank the acting for their beautiful acting.

Don't watch it for the plot. Be part of the tour group and enjoy their stories.

This drama made me a fan of Lee Yun Hee without any prior knowledge. She was just amazing. Don't expect much of a story or character growth. The story spans only a few days and people don't change that fast (if ever). The whole group is kinda character of itself and it is very enjoyable and comfy to watch them interact and react to things.

Also holy moly France was amazing. I wish there were more dramas like this but I get why there ain't. I also get why some people might be disappointed. If you go into it expecting more than being part of the tour, you might get disappointed. If you just want to enjoy some slice and life traveling with romance, go for it. The ending is kinda similar to most of the western movies handling this kind of story. So it's just so so.

Just let go. Buy a ticket. Sit on the bus. Become part of the tour and enjoy the travel. Even if you might not like some members, those are the strangers you will be stuck with for a few days while going around France. So you better get used to it if you don't wanna have your trip ruined by meaningless things. Maybe you will even learn something from them. I mean life is full of different and strange people who all have their quirks and story so you better watch and listen.

The drama itself was like a vacation for drama lovers . When you are too bored to try any new drama or rather sick of watching the same story line over and over again , just give this a try . It gives all the characters equal importance - every one has a story of their own . It takes you through their journey , their sorrows and happiness with a touch of rustic humor added to the story which keeps you enlightened .
Lastly , it ends on a good note and leaves no scope for dissatisfaction .

Fall in Love with France All Over Again

Loved this movie! Great story as well as good acting. I liked that each episode gave an insight into each of the characters' background so we can see why they took the trip (or why the tour guide initially came to France) and their expectations.

Another featured star in the show is the city of Paris and the surrounding areas. It was great remembering the sites in Paris that I visited many years ago. I also got to see new areas of France and learned more French history during the show.

I started watching this show because I am a fan of Choi Woo-shik. In most shows I've seen him in, he's usually acting cute with his boyish charm. This is one of the shows (including Parasite) in which he displays his acting range (e.g., the scene where he is upset that he didn't get the funding for his project).

I would watch this show again and recommend it, especially to those who have already visited Paris.

The places of this drama in France were an absolute blessing for the eyes, finally, a drama that isn't in Korea and is more for an adult public with more mature content and stories. While watching it I felt like to be with them because it was a full vacation from my bed, also there aren't cheesy things as I expected so that a good point for this drama!
I loved the coples and how their friendships began involing eveythings taht was possible directely taken from normal life. Really good, probably not one of my favorites, but aboslutely needs a try!

A natural and compelling romance.

Great story, ok visuals considering it was shot in fookin France mate, a beautiful selection of music to set the tone of scenes, natural and fun quality acting, no character was dull and all had their own personal trials and tribulations. This kdrama nearly convinced me that touring France was a good idea until you realise the local people will literally send hits on you and throw baguettes at your face just for being a foreigner, lucky for them I have humbled myself but if this was another era, particularly in the medieval times, I would've rode horseback with a long blade piercing these fools for their disrespectful atrocities to a jacked mf like me.

The female lead can have my social security number and identity, she is quite the exquisite woman. If I had to compare her beauty, I'd consider her the Genghis Khan of beauty. A familiar face to many, but a similar face to none.

This review may contain spoilers

one of the Most Underrated Korean Drama out there!

A refreshing drama with a heartwarming story and breathtaking foreign locations.
A must watch. Highly recommended.
Went into the drama with no expectations. Honestly thought it will be in my dropped list :p
Ended up binge watching all 16 episodes in 2 days!
The characters are well fleshed out with individual story arcs all with satisfying conclusions, the catchy ost and ofcourse the beautiful locations...it makes you want to go on a vacation...!
The Package (2017) is a unque gem in the kdrama world which makes you happy and makes you feel good to be alive....
A rewatch for me!

This drama was very entertaining, but it Wasn’t ground breaking.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved it! The story’s for every couple was lovely and even moved me to tears with some. I loved the story between the the older male and young woman (don’t want to spoil, hope you guys know which one I am pointing at), because I have had similar experiences. I loved the last scene with them and it made me cry!
I like the romantic interest between the guide and San Ma Ru. I am in love with Yonghwa, so why wouldn’t I? He was the reason I stared watching this.
The last scene gave me butterflies!! I loved it!

I mainly loved the scenery. They portrayed France beautifully! I want to go to Monte Saint Michel!
This made me love the drama the most. Recommend to anyone, but I will not watch again. :)

I've been postponing to watch this serie because I knew it was about a guide and a group of tourist doing a trip in France. I'm not from this country, but I live here, not far away from Paris and all the places you see in The Package. So... for me it sounded kind of boring, so this was the main reason what it have been taken me out of watching it. Now I'm glad I decided to give it an opportunity.
It's a short drama (only 12 episodes) and I needed something lighter after watching "3-nen A Gumi: Ima kara mina san hitojichi desu" y "Princess Agents"... so, I gave it a chance, and I liked it much more that I thought I'd do.
So, the story happens in France, but it could be anywhere else. It talks about people, with problems, and how they have the time to think about them and resolve them. It talks about how to connect with people, and things that matter in life. Overall, you'll have the feeling to see how the show compares two completely different cultures (the Asian and European on one hand, the Korean and French, on the other hand), and how, if you are able to appreciate other places, people and culture, you'll learn and you'll grow as a person by yourself. And on the way, you'll solve the problems you could have.
I liked that this show is much more that a rom-com. It's really short and you'll have a good feeling at the end. Give it an opportunity.

I like this drama because it's really romantic which have it's own humor sentiments and the story of all the tourists in The Package are heart warming. The beautiful scenery from France is a bonus to all who never been to France. Mont Saint Michel is really breathtaking location. The job and responsibility as tour guide reflects very much in real situation.  The kissing scenes are worth the watch. There are important life values learnt throughout this drama. Love, emotion, heart-breaking, happiness and detailed story of each tourist who join the Package. The best of this drama is that, it has a happy ending.
