MAN IN THE VINEYARD
Podobat Keu Sanai

SYNOPSIS: Ji-hyun was promised to inherit her grandfather's vineyard if she works for it for a year. Unfortunately, it wasn't as easy as she hoped it would be. Not only did she have a hard time adjusting to the old-fashioned living but working alongside Taek-gi made it even tougher. If not for the money she could get from selling the land, she could have given up on their deal long time ago. Luckily, her worries came to an end when she found out that her long time crush, Kyung-min, works there as a doctor.

When the vineyard was hit by a plague that caused a great loss in their production, Taek-gi asked Su-jin's help, his ex-girlfriend, to research on a solution. Having to see them together made Ji-hyun realize that she has developed a weird feelings on Taek-gi. She diverted her attention to Kyung-min instead as she tries to sort out her feelings.

Working day and night has given them the chance to know each other better. Taek-gi eventually fell for Ji-hyun for her being spontaneous and true to herself. He accepted to work with Su-jin to forget about Ji-hyun and left without confessing his feelings. But when he learned that Ji-hyun broke up with Kyung-min because of him, he finally found the courage to tell her the truth.

REVIEWS: Yoon Eun-hye has once again proven that acting is her craft. She still has that facial expression I loved when she did "Goong". When she talks to herself, she looks so funny. She doesn't need to be in chemistry with anybody just to carry out her character. Speaking of which, I actually don't see any connection between her and Oh Man-seok. I only like them together during their childish fights. The more they push each other away, the more they become cuter. The funky music even makes it funnier. But getting romantically involved is out of the question.

The last 2 episodes have too many flashbacks. Looks like it was prolonged just for the heck of it. They focused more on reminiscing the past than making an unforgettable romantic ending. The chasing scene even made it worst. It lasted for more than 5 minutes!

Honestly, the series wasn't as good as I expected it to be. It was just ordinary. Nothing new. The ending is even predictable. The supporting characters have no appeal to me. In short, Yoon Eun-hye is the only best thing that happened in this series.
