Reasons To Watch “The Package“
A Unique Concept: Tour Guide x Travelers
What makes “The Package” truly stand out is its refreshing concept. I know we haven’t experienced a drama like this, so watching this one feels like a new experience! The drama follows Lee Yeon Hee as a tour guide leading a group of strangers on a package tour around France. But instead of focusing only on the leads, the drama gives each traveler a story of their own. From a solo wanderer to a longtime couple questioning their relationship, every character has a unique perspective on life and love. It’s not just a drama—it feels like joining an actual group trip where you meet new people and discover their hidden stories.
A Slice-of-Life With Heart + Full of Comedic Moments
If you love slice-of-life dramas, “The Package” delivers beautifully. It doesn’t rely on flashy twists or dramatic conflicts, but rather on the quiet moments of connection between people who are thrown together by chance. Each episode slowly peels back the layers of the characters, giving them each their own episode, showing their struggles, regrets, and hopes. It’s heartwarming and relatable, making you reflect on your own journey in life while watching theirs unfold.
But of course, what’s a trip without some hilarious travel fails? Jung Yong Hwa plays the funny yet unlucky San Ma Roo, who always seems to end up in embarrassing situations. From being left behind by the tour bus, stranded on an island, to the infamous chastity belt scene, his character keeps the drama lighthearted and fun. And when you add his sweet chemistry with Lee Yeon Hee, you get a charming romance that balances the humor with heartfelt moments.
The Beauty of France on Screen
Another reason to watch “The Package” is its breathtaking setting. Filmed entirely in France, the series treats us to stunning European scenery and iconic landmarks. We get to see the beauty of France from its cozy streets to world-famous tourist spots; every episode feels like a mini travel vlog that makes us want to pack our bags right away. The cinematography makes us feel like we’re part of the tour, walking alongside the characters and experiencing the beauty of France with them. Should we book our ticket now?
Memorable Stories Within the Group
One of the most touching aspects of the drama is how it balances multiple storylines. Each traveler isn’t just a background character; they have meaningful stories that unfold as the trip progresses. Among them, Yeon Sung and Na Hyun’s arc stands out the most. What starts as a seemingly ordinary pairing turns into a heartfelt and unexpected backstory that will leave us teary-eyed. These side stories make the drama richer and more emotional, giving depth beyond the central romance.
Where To Watch?
“The Package” is a feel-good drama that blends romance, comedy, and slice-of-life in the most comforting way. It’s not heavy or overly dramatic, but instead warm, soothing, and beautifully written. If you’re looking for a K-Drama that feels like a cozy trip abroad, complete with laughter, a bit of romance, and touching life lessons, this is the one to binge-watch and you don’t need to look any further because it’s available on KOCOWA+ with multiple subtitles available!
