What a delightful drama! I stumbled across this gem of a show when I was looking for a break from lengthy period C-dramas, and this show really surprised me with how well done it is. It is heart-warming and thought-provoking with a realistic story line.
I really felt that I was on a guided tour, vicariously traveling with the characters through various destinations in France. Of course, the cinematography was amazing. The pace was just right, and I found myself relaxing as I watched the adventure unfold and got drawn into each character's story. There were emotional ups and downs as I watched each character develop, and each couple navigating through rough waters in their relationships. Many times, I found myself really hoping that everyone had a happy ending.
The acting was excellent, so sincere that it felt genuine and authentic. This is the first time I have seen Jung Yong Hwa act, and he is simply adorable. There were an earnestness and honesty that he brought to his character, San Ma Ru, and boy, can that man kiss! I loved episode 7, where there was a kiss scene within a kiss scene within a kiss scene! He and Lee Yeon Hee had such great chemistry as the main couple. Lee Yeon Hee is lovely, and she portrayed Yun So So well. As for the supporting cast, there were no individual shout-outs since it was evident that they all really poured their hearts into the drama.
I cannot even find fault with the music as the selection was absolutely perfect and fitting.
The story is written so well, and there were many poignant scenes as well as memorable quotes. I would definitely re-watch this drama. My only gripe is that I wish there were a couple more episodes to tie everything up neatly but that is because I am a hopeless romantic and I want a fabulous big-bang ending. I still liked the ending because it made sense and it did work out for everyone.
