Synopsis:

In 2005, Jung-Joo flies to Jeju Island while holding a picture of her father and a woman. Jung-Joo did research on the woman in the picture and became convinced the woman is her mother and her son Gun-Woo is her twin brother (as they have the same birthday). Gun-Woo also has an older brother Jung-Geun (Lee Sung-Jae) and older sister Hee-Ra (Ok Ji-Young), but the siblings have different fathers. 

On Jeju Island, a birthday party is held for Gun-Woo. There, Jung-Joo tells Gun-Woo that they are twins, but they later overhear Gun-Woo's mother telling her daughter that she doesn't know the man in the picture.

In 2015, Jung-Joo now works for an undergarment company. Her position at the company is on shaky grounds. She is set to buy an apartment when she receives a video message from her younger brother telling her that he is about to buy a house on Jeju Island to turn into a cafe. Jung-Joo freaks out and rushes to the airport. She wants to stop her younger brother. At the airport, Jung-Joo runs across Gun-Woo. He is also going to Jeju Island.

Gun-Woo runs the restaurant "Warm and Cozy” on Jeju Island. He opened up the restaurant for a woman he likes, but he now wants to sell the restaurant. Gun-Woo learns that Jung-Joo's younger brother wants to open up a cafe there. Gun-Woo offers to sell his restaurant to her younger brother, but Jung-Joo declines.

While looking for her younger brother on Jeju Island, she sees her boyfriend on a honeymoon and receives a phone call from her boss informing her that she is fired. Jung-Joo becomes devastated. Gun-Woo then appears and takes her to his restaurant "Warm and Cozy.”

My Thoughts:

It's kinda late for me to post this drama but I had to watch quite a lot of it's episodes to get a feel of it. And all I can say is this drama is being pretty overlooked. It has a great plot and story. As the name says, you get warm and cozy watching it. Really comfortable. It goes at a pleasant speed.

Heart flutters all over. A misunderstanding that cause great concern which turns into love. It is a splendid ride watching the love story unfolding. From the first meet to numerous encounters and then living in the same house. Great chemistry between the characters. And of course there must be a character you just had to hate so much. But it gives that much more pleasure when the character gets slapped metaphorically. 

Great implementation of comedy. And damn the soundtrack makes it that much more funnier for the comedy scenes. Cute and loving. Heartwarming love. A good recommendation from me. It may prove to be a slow plot for some. But if you are patient, the tree will bear fruit. TRY IT!!!!!
