I would say that the direction for Welcome to Samdal-Ri was less than inspired, and the location on Jeju-Do was the star of that show. JCW's character often seemed wooden to me, even though he's been amazing in other shows. Also, Shin Hye-sun seems to be an actor whose main facial expression is a kind of pained squint, so I have a hard time seeing her as a romantic lead.
Kim Mi Kyung was excellent, of course!

I’m so busy with work these days, but on Sunday, I finished “Welcome to Samdal-ri” and liked it very much!

I think they (the authors) have had some good ideas like Jeju, the haenyeos, and the meteorological agency and put these together to create a drama that is so beautiful, “light”, and pleasant. I’m sorry I didn’t discover it sooner.

Oh, and Shin Hye-sun is so adorable as always! 😊 (but I also appreciated the two “sisters”, Shin Dong-mi and Kang Mi-na)

Morning!

Not the first #kdrama I've watched set in #Jeju - as well as reading about it/ documentaries - but because of #welcometosamdalri I was looking at more photos ( with morning coffee) while listening to this album ( one song is in the drama when the Haenyon dive ) - there's a tangerine farm/ a Camellia forest/ a Van Gogh gallery... As well as the coast. I so want to visit SK, more than any foreign place I've ever considered ( I am not well travelled)

Welcome to Samdal-ri
(2023 - 16 1:10 eps)

Raised together in a village on Jeju island, the leads' romance is inevitable, but for drama reasons, they are torn apart. At 1st this seemed very flat. Although there are some great actors, there wasn't enough depth to the characters & the FL wasn't very likable.

The writing could have been better, but the side stories eventually worked to support the main story & gave lessons about needing & accepting help from family, friends, & village. OK romance - best friends in love instead of passionate lovers, which fits the story. Some side stories could have been better - problems were instantly resolved with a couple of sentences.

Jeju is beautiful. Diving is interesting. Kim Mi Kyung is fabulous, as always. The 2 sisters are cute & fun, & the little girl is just the best! Not the drama I thought it would be, but a decent watch.

#kdrama confusion
I'm still watching #forecastingloveandweather however, husband has quite got into this !! For weather & unlikely love story.
So we abandoned #taleoftheninetailed as something to watch together.
Meanwhile he watched most of #thebrotherssun without me, but that's fine ( not kdrama)
So: ☀️ he's out at ukulele night, I've started #welcometosamdalri - more weather forecasting! More Jeju Island! But it's hot, and sunny, and the sea is blue... Which was very needed this evening

So, here in #YEG, we've had a serious cold snap since Thursday, with temps dropping below -40 for the last 2 days. Therefore, I've been revelling in the warmth and comfort of the Great Indoors for a few days now. Plenty of #kdrama, including the following shows:
#ExtraOrdinaryYou: completed
#UncontrollablyFond: completed
#AlchemyOfSouls: completed after several weeks of watchparties
#MyDemon: 1 week to finish
#WelcomeToSamdalRi: 1 week to finish
Started: #Moving

I saw this “bro code” again in relation to relationship/courtship; this time because of the story in #WelcomeToSamdalri #웰컴투삼달리.

Basically, the “bro code” states that you shouldn't court a girl or confess your feelings (even if you don't plan on courting her) because your friend (or some stranger) is courting her (or maybe in a relationship already).

When they're pressed to explain why they believe in this “bro code”, it eventually comes down to “[social] stigma”. You don't do it because of that. Or, because the guy is afraid of the other guy (so wait until I stop).

Here's my reaction: So what? Why are you letting some [social] stigma dictate what you can and cannot do?

If it is people's happiness to whisper behind your back, let them! At least you contributed to their happiness.

Seriously. Ever heard of:

“All is fair in love and war” and “May the best man win”?
