Slow paced, but must watch!

Storyline/Plot: I liked the overall storyline of the main leads having a past and finally rekindling after years of not seeing each other. Furthermore, I liked the theme of the drama of them tackling issues like women being sexually harassed and mistreated unfairly in the workplace which is something that happens universally no matter where you're from. The issues weren't taken too seriously that it came off "Woke" nor too lightly where it was seen as a joke or as a mockery, but there was a nice balance. I know many people were not happy with them focusing on Meena's situation since they could have added in another secondary couple, which most dramas tend to do. Yet, it was nice that they didn't do because it would have been too clique. I liked that they took a risk with it since they did expand on their relationship and the guilt that she had for leaving Kim (ML). I also felt like it tackled something that no other drama really does and that's understanding all sides of every character because they could have just left us with the notion that she left him due to him being busy with work, but they actually showed us what her real reasons for leaving him was. Another thing that I really enjoyed was that out of the whole "who is going to end up with whom???" all of the characters had their own issues to work out.

On the other hand, what I disliked was Tan's character. He is really a walking, talking RED FLAG. I hate his personality, he is always acting cool, yet aggressive around Kim (ML) and Nubdao (FL)for like no reason. Which I could somewhat understand Kim because he feels threatened by him but still it's annoying. Moreover, I wasn't buying him and Nubdao's friendship because he didn't really stand up for her like a friend should the way that Kim did WITHOUT hesitation. Furthermore, he is always in Kim and Nubdao's business where it doesn't concern him.

Acting/cast: I think that everyone did really well, this is my first drama with Davika and Off since I knew Off from Not Me. However, I couldn't get into Not Me. Even though, I hated Off's character I think that he did good with portraying Tan's character because I sure hated his character. Similarly, this was also my first show with Davika, and she really suited Nubdao and her chemistry with Bright. I would definitely love her and Bright to do another project together, she is my favorite actresses that has been paired with Bright so far. I don't have anything to say about Bright since I'm a fan of him, yet his acting is definitely improving.

Music: My favorite Ost is definitely the Intro, Gawin is doing the lords work by giving us good Ost's. I liked how the song really fit the theme and concept of the show and it really hits on an emotional level. Every time this song plays, I get really emotional and be ready to start crying.

In conclusion, this show is one of GMMTV's gem shows of course it's not perfect but it defiantly worth the watch due to the characters, theme, and overall risk in terms of writing.
