Sad Slice of Life

If you’ve lost someone to cancer…
If someone dear to you is living with cancer…
This drama will be that much more painful to watch.

The friendship dynamics of the 3 friends were reminiscent of Sex in the City especially the way they had each other’s back and their honesty with each other. All 3 FLs excelled in displaying a myriad of emotions and expressions and while this drama focused on one of the FLs more than the other two, it didn’t detract from me being immersed in the way they lived their lives. The MLs had a tough act to follow and some of the couple moments lacked chemistry.

The drama was on the way to being great but unfortunately decided to overuse some typical drama tricks. A few coincidences that makes sense is ok but one that stuck out like a sore thumb was the doctor ML being friends with the other 2 MLs even though he grew up overseas. And these 3 MLs pair up nicely with the 3 FLs…

I was also annoyed at one scene which juxtapositioned one character suffering in pain while another character was enjoying a romantic moment.

Less is clearly more in this case. As it stands, this drama stopped short of being great and just settled at being good.
