I love Hallmark movies and I love the 2 leads in this movie but in my opinion, there was no chemistry. The conversation between the 2 leads were awkward and I love country music but really did not love the music in this show which was tuneless, it wasn't foot tapping and it didn't tug at the heartstrings.
This is just me, so nobody needs to tell me I am wrong kay ... Well, I watch Hallmark shows for sweetness and to restore the soul (again, that is just me).
So imagine my shock with this show. The quarrelling is alarming and too much like unpleasant real life to be enjoyable to watch. The hostility levels are so high, it made me cringe.
I think the 2 leads may actually dislike each other in real life!
The lead female role is so unpleasant, she is not watchable.
"Oh actually it's Mina" and she is SO rude and arrogant with her ex schoolmates. She is really unlikable.

Just my personal view ...
I really thought I would love this show. For one, I really enjoyed Jen Lilley in Harvest Moon and The Spirit of Christmas. She plays the lead romantic female role really well.
And the cinematography was wonderful in this show. Beautiful scenery, brilliant Christmas decorations, lovely homes ... the story line is predictable but that is what we Hallmark fans want. A love story that is simple, simpler than most of our lives. So, I thought, I am going to love this show.
Also, the script deserves congratulatory mention. Jeff did EVERYTHING any girl would want in a boyfriend, who wouldn't want a boyfriend like that right?
Well ... not quite. I could not get past how effeminate Brant Daugherty's acting was in this movie. I had to google him and yes, he is married (to a woman). He is completely unbelievable as a romantic male lead in a hetero relationship. And what a pity! He is so tall and very handsome but his mannerisms ... if I were Jack McFarland (of Will and Grace), I would probably be in love with him.
I won't be watching this show again. It made me feel really misplaced for the 1.5 hours it played.
