Na Yeong Ja, an ordinary department store clerk, is entangled in a love triangle with the scion of a department store fortune and a top executive at the same department store. This TV series is like a Cinderella fairytale story but without a passive heroine who waits for a prince to bring her a glass shoe. Instead, the heroine of this show reaches her goal by proactively seizing opportunities and working hard to also find love in her personal life. (Source: MBC) Edit Translation

First things first, please don’t get put off by the amount of episodes! I started watching this when it aired in May so I apologise if I can't remember the beginning perfectly ^^
I really enjoyed watching Start Again, the characters are all so likable and the plot was really interesting, the only con being it was very predictable, but at times it could also surprise you, especially as it neared the ending of the episode, cliffhangers that made you want to watch the next episode. The romance is sweet, not overly strong but enough to keep you cheering for them through their troubles. The beginning was extremely well delivered, and kept me wanting more, until it began nearing the end when the plot started to get rushed, and it just got too predictable for me to take seriously, eg I skipped some scenes at the VERY end, like the last few episodes.

The main cast, including Park Min Ji (who played Bo Ra in Cheese in the Trap), Kim Jeong Hoon, Park Sun Ho and Go Woo Ri were pleasant to watch especially Go Woo Ri who played her ‘’ rather antagonistic’’ character very well. The other thing about Start Again is that there are A LOT of connections between the characters, this can either be a good or bad thing, however I found it interesting, but often at times silly. The music is one of the best things about this drama, the OT/ET by Park Seeyoung I really loved, and the many songs and instrumentals used I still listen to today.

Start Again was the first daily drama I watched, and I really enjoyed watching it, and I'm happy I completed it, there were many times that had me excited for the next episode, times when something unexpected happened, and the times that were just so sweet made Start Again a memorable drama to say the least, plus the 35 minute length daily was perfect. Although I don’t want to watch this drama again anytime soon, I can definitely see myself re-watching it in the future!

The biggest problem the drama has is that one major secret which was the one and only major point of tension. The revelation itself was weaker than expected after a long build up. Once the secret was revealed there wasn't anything else to replace it especially when it came a little early.

I was expecting more stories for the other members of the family but only the two sisters were the focus. The characters' shenanigans in the department store was boring. I didn't feel much chemistry going on between anyone. The ending was quick and dirty as per usual.
