"Won't you have a drink with us?"

I had seen this drama pop up in my recommendations for a while, but I never wanted to check it out because the trailer put me off. I decided to check it out because of it's high ratings and praise, and I do not regret watching it one bit. It gives off Hotel Del Luna vibes due to the FL's, but I preferred this a lot more. Since there's only 12 episodes, the story didn't drag and the ending felt complete (for the most part).

This was a refreshing drama which puts life into perspective. Although people may seem put together on the outside, many are dealing with struggles inside. Each episode felt like a new rollercoaster as it focused on a new grudge but I found it to be very lighthearted and heartwarming. I immediately knew I was going to love this drama just after watching the first episode.

I really loved the trio consisting of the badass and charismatic Weolju, the calm and dependent Guibanjang, and the clumsy and sweet Kangbae. This was my drama with Hwang Jung Eum and I don't think any other person can portray Weolju than her. I have been a fan of Choi Won Young since I've seen him in many dramas, and I LOVED the SKY Castle reference!!!! And a special mention to Jung Daeun. I think she executed Kang Yeorin's character perfectly, and she gained herself a new fan! I hope to see her in more roles in the future :)

Overall, this drama provided a lot of comedic relief while also having a nice message throughout each episode. Each episode left me feeling warm and fuzzy and it reminded me how valuable life is. "No matter what's making you suffer now, things will settle and pass eventually. Hang in there until then, and you'll find yourself stronger."
