I picked up this drama because of the reviews and I was okay watching a melodrama about three girls. The main storyline of the 3 best friends is what the main point of the show and the best part of the show. One is in her 20's, the main girl is in her early 30's and the last girl is in her mid 30's. So, each character is in a different point of their lives and this is their story of living in the big city.

I left my home to go into the city on my own and so I could understand a little of what the character's were going through. The city is this magical place that everyone talks about and everyone wants to be in, but the city can be tough, harsh and will not cater towards your demands unless you fight for it.

The beginning of the drama starts out very serious and melodramatic, I thought this was the tone of the drama, but to my surprise the drama is pretty toned down and became a slice of life kind of drama. You feel for the girls as they encounter problems and issues throughout the drama, but they also go through highs, like relationships and promotions.

I wouldn't say I liked any girl the best, maybe the main character (the one in her early 30's) because she was to me, the most level headed. She's trying to rise up in her career, but she is also trying to navigate the tragedy of what the 3 girls go through in the first episode.

I didn't like the youngest girl the most because she was very immature and annoying. At times she could be cute because of the way she looked and dressed, but I couldn't agree with how she treated her relationship with her boyfriend. It was a struggle to watch the two play, fight, breakup and makeup over and over at times.

The oldest girl had little to no interest for me because she wasn't captivating as I wanted her to be. She, to me, couldn't hold a presence on screen and so I felt like her scenes were lost to me. I also didn't like the younger relationship she was encountering, the 10 year age difference was kind of icky in my opinion.

Overall, the drama held my interest and at 12 episodes at about an hour each, it was a good decent drama to get sucked into. It makes you appreciate life, friendship and relationships. A very realistic drama about growing up and living as an adult in a big city.
