Hong Sisters' latest offering is "Warm and Cozy," starring Yoo Yeon-seok (Reply 1994), who plays Baek Geon-woo, and Kang So-ra (Misaeng), who plays Lee Jung-joo. "Warm and Cozy" made its debut on May 13 on MBC. The 16-episode drama is said to be a twist on one of Aesop's Fables, "The Ant and the Grasshopper."

Here are five reasons why "Warm and Cozy" is a must-watch:  

Hong Sisters: If one ignores the body-swapping drama "Big," the Hong Sisters have rarely disappointed. One may find a reason or two to complain, but their shows do not make you pull your hair. They are light in tone, dripping in emotions, and they create characters that are lovable and thus memorable.

Jeju Island: "Warm and Cozy" is set in the scenic Jeju Island. The characters are not flying out to the island to have a one-night stand, or to recover after a break-up, or to enjoy their honeymoon. The love story will be unfolding on Jeju Island. There is something dreamy about a romance that blooms near the sea, with its sunsets and sunrises.

Characters Baek Geon-woo and Lee Jung-joo: The first two episodes have established that Baek Geon-woo is the lazy grasshopper, while Jung-joo is the hardworking ant. Geon-woo is rich, but he is not the Korean dramas' arrogant rich man. He is the rich man who oozes warmth and charm. Jung-joo, on the other hand, has seen a string of setbacks, but she is not the meek, damsel in distress. She is spunky, with a never-say-die attitude. And one cannot miss to watch these two bicker, care for each other, hurt each other, and fall in love.

Twist:  Geon-woo and Jung-Joo may end up being twins.

The Recipes: Yeon-seok, who is playing his first leading man role in a drama, wrapped up the first two episode with a recipe. He and the food both looked yummy.
