What it's about
After a setback in her Seoul career, dentist Yoon Hye-jin visits the seaside village of Gongjin on her late mother's birthday. Stranded there without cash, she decides to open a clinic in a town where everyone knows everyone's business. She keeps running into Hong Du-sik, the 'Chief Hong' who can fix anything.
It's a remake of the 2004 film Mr. Handy, Mr. Hong, written by Shin Ha-eun and directed by Yoo Je-won.
Why people love it
The finale scored 12.7% nationwide (Nielsen Korea), the show's best, and it stayed No. 1 in its time slot.
Viewers call it a 'healing' drama: sea views, a nosy but kind village and a slow, sweet romance.
