Netflix describes the series as: “Against his wishes a veterinarian from the big city relocates to the countryside, where he meets a policewoman, a town insider with a friendly secret.”

A sweet and simple feel-good show about the lives of those in Heedong Village, the Kdrama follows veterinarian Han Ji-yool, whose grandfather tricks him to take over the latter’s vet clinic in his native village for half a year while he tours Europe. As he gets used to the simple problems and life in the village, he meets police officer Ahn Ja-young, who helps him find pleasures in the small things in life as well as tide over the problems that come with shifting from a big town, such as Seoul to a small village like Heedong.
