Ready Steady Cut review - A predictable but fun ride: "With its easy-to-follow, humble premise and a colourful village backdrop, Once Upon a Small Town certainly has a lot of surface level appeal. It stands out not in intricacy, but rather in idiosyncrasy, thriving in a dedication to breezy storytelling that sets the show apart from some of the more overtly complex releases this year. ... Overall, Once Upon a Small Town looks like it’ll be a decent change of pace from the current slate of K-dramas. It’s not an instant classic, yet it doesn’t pretend to be, and owns its rather low ceiling by ensuring that each episode delivers something packaged with congruent quality. As such, this is an effort that remains worth watching, should needlessly lofty expectations be left at the door."

This wasn't much more than a collection of tropes (and a whole lot of Kopiko PPL), but it was easy on the eyes and easy on the brain.
