Slice of Life KDramas set in the Countryside Every once in a while we feel stressed about our city lives and dream about a calm and peaceful place.  The dramas and movies on this list are set in the countryside and the narratives are unhurried, slow paced and heartwarming.  They're all feel good dramas with slice-of-life plots and relatable characters.  Lets check 5 of them that are my personal favourites! 1.
