This is a nice light hearted comedy-drama. It was enjoyable and easy to watch. It has a similar premise to other women-centered shows like Sex and the city, Mistresses, Gossip girl, Girls ect. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything extraordinary to begin with. STORY The main premise is the love lives of 3 girl friends. Firstly, the protagonist. She is cute, nice, the most relateable i think. The show mostly focuses on her. Her story is the most interesting. Her story is about long term relationships, their problems after many years of dating and how (and if) you can get away from them. Specifically, she is in a 10 year old relationship. The main questions her story targets are: Is love alive after 10 years of dating? Is this relationship going anywhere? (why isn't he proposing?) Is he cheating? Should i break up? Can i break up? Can i move on? Things like that. I found her story and the way she thinks about these things very real. Of course there is a love triangle developing here, still her decisions seemed rational and logical until the end.... What i didn't like about this show mostly was the fact that you can forsee what will happen in the end, from the first 3 episodes... In the end i found her decisions kinda stupid and not rational. They were obviously made just for the show to finish the way it was supposed to... Story #2. Virgin aged 33. I found her the most interesting in the beginning, but i was dissapointed in the end... So much potential wasted. Her story was cute nonetheless, again you can forsee what will happen from episode 2. Nothing exciting ever happens... Story #3. If you've seen sex and the city, she is the Samantha of the trio. Well, i consider myself an open-minded person. But there are some really questionable life choices here, that i couldn't help but judge... Samantha was a slut indeed, but she had a nice soul. Here this girl is heartless... She is a selfish slut, there is no other way to put it. Thinking just yourself and not caring for anyone's feelings saying "its their feelings they have to care for their feelings, i will care for mine" isn't logical, isn't right... Relationships are between 2 people, feelings should be considered from both sides... I tried not to hate her because she was a good friend but come on... As for her story, she gets her own love triangle... But she is so self-centered i just stopped bothering with her after a while.... The main problem i had with the show was that in relationship dramas, the show has to make you care for the flawed characters... Here it failed to do that, or it failed to do that to me... When there are some questionable plot choices, the show needs to explain why they were made... Here it just tells us, ";i felt like it, so i acted that way", maybe they wanted to make it feel more "real" but that made me judge them and not care for them to excuse them... The main character is the only one with rational choices... even though in the end she does stupid things and i was like... "Bitch, you deserve getting hurt" ACTING Well, i've seen better... It wasn't bad... It was fine, i just... have seen better in other kdramas... It was believable and good nonetheless... The main protagonists tried to act too cute and it bothered me at some points but overall it was a solid performance from everyone. MUSIC Generally i don't really care about the music, its just there... But here the music was amazing. There were certain tracks used thorough the show. That might have made the show feel a bit repeatable, but those tracks set you in a certain mood for everything that happens in the scenes, and i loved that. Each song expresses a feeling. Plus they were good songs! RECOMMENDATION Well, ehm.... I feel the show generally targets females in their 20s and 30s... I generally LOVE these shows about women, but not this so much. Everything had been done before and in a better way... Plus, you need to be quite open minded to watch, i really rolled my eyes so hard sometimes they were stuck in the back of my head with some character decisions... So, if you are a woman i think you'll appreciate the show a lot, even if nothing wowing really happens. If you are a man, then no... you will hate it and with good reason. Would i rewatch it? No never, if i'd ever catch an episode on tv and nothing else was on, i'd watch it. But i'd never put it again on purpose... no. OVERALL It wasn't a bad show... I had a lot of fun watching it, it was an easy watch. The main problem that made me less excited about the show the more i was watching was the stereotypical presentation of men. "Men just want sex, men don't care about feelings" ect. But at the same time, the slut of the trio gets involved with 2 wonderful guys who she hurts... and the main protagonist gets involved with a cheater who wants to be forgiven after 2 times of cheating... The show should be more neutral about presenting men and women... Maybe i am a guy and i see things a little differently, thats why i said the show obviously targets women...
