"When Calls the Heart" is a sentimental drama, with some cliches but very entertaining and light. It's a break from so much grim and all-too-real show. It's like a continuation of "The Little House on the Prairie" or "Anne with an E".

Most of the characters are very human and caring. Whenever there is a problem, it is faced by the community until a solution is found.
