Fresh story line, but extremely annoying and childish female lead

Since seeing the poster and the name of this new drama I got very interested. The title is pretty original and meaningful - it reminds of the funny dialog the two main leads had.
The first episode succed to get me into it. The retrospection after it, showing how Yoon Hye Jin got into this place and mess with the villagers was also prosecuted well. I didn't liked the 5th episode though. It was exactly copy-paste of the 1th one. The writer could have done better, same as the drama director. A cool effect going back in the 1th episode, without going again through all we've already watched could've been better, but still I can understand that maybe they wanted to continue the story line more natural so they did it this way.
In the episode 6 I got very disappointed though by the acting of the main female lead - Yoon Hye Jin. I'm not referring to her actual drama acting, but the character she is portraying.
By the story we got introduced in the begging, Yoon Hye Jin is mature, strong woman that went through quite a lot during her life. She was acting pretty ignorant and cold, but still was trying to be polite and hold herself back on some terms.
Of course after getting close to Hong Du-Sik she opend herself little to the people living in the village and to him, BUT I just can't understand how she got in episode 6. For me it was such a turn point. I dont understand why the writter decided to portray the main female lead so childish and unreasonable. Getting so petty over something that happened when you were drunk and showing that so passively aggressive on many ocassions in the presense of the other villagers doesn't suit a woman at that age, with this kind of profession and past. I couldn't help but compare her with the teenage daughter of Mr. Oh Chun-Jae. Both of them were in a way on the same level of immaturness.
I understand that she is still young at heart and we witness many sences where Yoon Hye Jin got emotional and cried, but still I personally can't handle such a mindset and behavior. It might be just my rational view and taste.
The main male lead on other hand - Kim Sun-Ho (playing Hong Du-Sik) is doing his job pretty well. I like his character. He is still pretty mysterious, but I can't help, but to fall for his sence of humor and straightforwardness. I'm looking forward when we will get the chance to watch his story and what he is actually coping with silently.
The person whom I was so happy to see in this drama was Kim Young-Ok. I loved her in all her previous dramas, I love her here too. She is portraying such a lovely old lady, who unfortunately carries her emotional luggage too - her bad relationship with her son. But the author compensated her in a way making Hong Du-Sik so kind and attached to her. Their interactions together are always bringing smile to my face and warm sensation to my heart.
All of the villagers are having their own story and a past that still is hunting them. I'm happy that the writer and the director are giving them fair screen time so by watching them grow and heal, the viewer can experience the cathartic feeling too.
Its refreshing when they switch from one hard scene to another light and bright one.

Overall the plot is good, I do like it so I'm not gonna stop supporting the drama and I'm goint to keep watching it.
I'm still hoping that it will grow more one me by the time when the rest of the episodes will be released. Same as Shin Min-A's character.
