Overall: Warm & Cozy offers nothing special, but if you are interested in Jeju island and cooking, you might find it worthwhile. If aimless, slow pacing , non-existent love chemistry and an uninspired story bother you, then you might want to skip this one. The positives: - Jeju looks beautiful and they've gone through a lot of trouble to make the film setting look warm & cozy. - Mouthwatering food is being prepared and consumed in many scenes. - One of the side character romance storylines is quite funny and interesting. - The production value seems high, everything looks and sounds polished. The negatives: - The main characters lacked chemistry. At some points it was practically dead... (not good in a kdrama!) - The story is very strange, jumping from one genre to the next and never really going anywhere. - There are many dream sequences that just ruin the atmosphere. - The female lead relies too much on weird, exaggerated facial expressions. - Although there are romantic things going on all over the place, you never FEEL that something romantic is going on. Especially in the latter part of the drama things begin to feel too much like "fan service". In the end a 6.5 rating might seem kind of brutal, but for me it comes down to whether I keep watching a drama from start to finish, craving the next episode, or if I end up dropping off midway. This drama I dropped 3 times. I wanted to finish it just to finish. I did not care about the characters or the ending. I think people who are new to kdramas might enjoy this one, because it is lukewarm, looks pretty and doesn't really challenge you in any way. For those of us who have seen +100 kdramas this might feel rather soulless, shallow and pointless.
