What I love about this show is that the +9 plot device is just a way for us to get to know our characters and their relationships. The show doesn’t get too caught up in it. Although it was meant to be the premise of the show, I wasn’t hoping for the story to be too focused on that. My favourite story is, obviously, the 29-year-old’s story. Kim Young Kwang and Kyung So Jin’s chemistry is incredible, as friends, to playfully flirting friends, to being more than lovers. It’s also one of the better friends-to-lovers stories in the Korean dramas I’ve seen. The most frustrating characters are those in the 39-year-old’s story. It felt like there was little movement or development of their characters. It’s not the actors’ fault, but likely lies in the writing. Really enjoyed Oh Jung-se’s acting here. First time seeing Sungjae acting, and he did a pretty decent job. Another standout feature of this show is the music. Clearly each song has been lovingly chosen to match each scene and the sentiments/feelings of the characters in each scene. Overall, a really light, guilt-free rom-com watch with sufficient angst to keep you invested and interested in the characters.
