Probably the closest thing to a perfect show, that's exactly what this show is. The series centers around Se-ri a Chaebeol from South Korea that accidentally ends up crashing in North Korea. With a premise like that one you just know before even watching that is just going to be filled with laughter and tears. This is one of the major reasons the series excels, they have a great balance of comedy and seriousness.
But the main reason this series truly shines is the story and the characters. The characters that are meant for the audience to fall for are so easy to fall for, while the villains just as they're meant to be make audiences hate them. This is all thanks to the actors that brought them to life, not one was lacking. While the story is very unique it really could've easily become boring half way through the show, but it doesn't. The writers knew how to progress the story and without it from feeling like it dragged out.
I do feel there was a couple of side plots not needed in the story and a couple of characters that didn't have any purpose so there was no point of them even existing. That aside the series was just close to perfection. Also when it comes to acting this probably one of the best acted korean dramas I've seen. The two leas especially were incredible. In conclusion if you want to check out a drama with a more unique story, with no unnecessary love triangles and that causes you as much laughter as it does tears this one is for you.
