Pierce Conran South China Morning Post In the end Welcome to Samdal-ri is not about returning home. It is about overcoming obstacles with the tools that were always there right in front of you. Rated: 4/5 Feb 9, 2024 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media But Welcome to Samdal-ri still offers lots of expected semi-operatic twists and turns, as well as flashbacks that contextualize contemporary events, all of which makes it a fun, bingeworthy series.

Dianne H I loved this show because of Ji Chang Wook. Please stop hitting him. I know it has to hurt to be slapped open handed. Maybe he is padded. I hope so.

Great to watch if you're feeling down or lost Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/24 Full Review Madhumanti C The trailer put me in spin as romantic comedies are my go to stories. The star cast drew my attention as Mr. Queen has been teaming with K2 for the first time. Once upon a time, a boy and girl was entangled in love fate as soon they were born. Their love story bloomed by the shore of Seoul but a cyclone paid an uninvited visit to the long stretches of Jeju only to wash the blooming love. So, did they leave each other or did they fight for their love. One thing is annoyingly becoming common in romantic comedies which is a love connection happening when leads are growing. This may used ignite spark at the beginning but now it is the biggest turn off. This is the biggest loophole for Sam Dal and Young Pil story. They have been unconditionally and irrevocably in love only to break up at the age of thirty. Love does not fade and enmity does not make them sour. You know what's happening next. Penned by the person responsible for cult classic like 18 again and Hi Bye Mama, this story is just an elongated drag of some of 208 or 2019s sweet stories. Director Cha Yeong Hoon who is known for making joker in When Camellia Blooms failed to bring the allure. The cinematographer did a wonderful job in snapping the beautiful shores. Ji Chang Wook and Shin Hye Soon fit perfectly in the shoes of the leads. But their chemistry did not make butterflies. Kang Yeong Sook as Bang Do tried to turn heads but attention mostly vanished before the yellow car. The story is a perfect amalgamation of love, enmity and humor. The friendship of the five who gets along even after staying apart all these years will tear you. Even though it is a love that we know, watching the journey through various nooks and holes makes it a beautiful watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
