Harvest Villa
When the owner of a shabby, soon-to-be-demolished villa in a run-down part of Seoul mysteriously dies, it sets in motion a chain of events that touches many lives. His son Oh Bok-gyu (Shin Ha-kyun), a struggling actor who was previously completely unaware of his inheritance, arrives to take possession of Apartment Number 201, only to find that rumors are swirling everywhere that his father has left a huge fortune of ₩50 billion in gold bars hidden somewhere in the villa — and that his father was murdered. As Bok-gyu navigates his way through the web of mystery surrounding his father's death, he encounters intrusive neighbors, oddball residents, a hardcore gangster and a beautiful girl — any of whom may have their eyes set on his money. When he meets orphaned, lovely Yoon Seo-rin (Lee Bo-young), he thinks that she's the girl of his dreams, but is unsure whether to trust her

Reading the plot alone seemed like it's going to be a lot of fun and it didn't take more than the first scene to convey the same thing. That first scene also had the drama's signature soundtrack running along with it, which totally sold me upon hearing it. It played dozens of times throughout the drama and it was always a banger for its scenes. The story was chaotic in the right way and the added light comedy and suspense created an enjoyable mix. A good selection of cast was present with a varied dynamic between them. Each had a small part with a side story running in parallel, although some of them I wish they had more time especially when considering its relaxed runtime. Otherwise, it could've benefited from a shorter runtime. Despite some shortcomings, it was quite an enjoyable watch.
