Realistic and relatable

I picked this drama up because I LOVE LOVE LOVE dramas about friendship and growing up and I feel like we don't get to see a lot of sisterhood in romance dramas as much as we should // ie. girls supporting girls!!!

"I thought I was the only one holding back"
"I thought I was the only one being wary of others"

aHHHH after finishing episode 1 I can say, I am pleasantly surprised. The episode started off pretty slow and I was wondering where we were going. However, I soon felt my self relating to Eun Jae so much -- I felt as if I were in her shoes as each her roommates left a bitter impression on her and made her feel isolated and unwelcome. At school, outside, everywhere she went, she couldn't speak up for herself when something was bothering her.

This episode painted that in such a realistic and relatable way that made us cheer Eun Jae on every step of the way. I'm excited that we already see her growth in episode 1, and I can only imagine how much more character development we will get from all of these lovely ladies.

I liked how they showed a little perspective from each of the characters and how maybe both we the audience and Eun Jae may have misjudged them. But just when the scene gets heartwarming and makes you all smiley, we get a casual confession at the end that makes us go ?whaaaaaaaat???

So excited to see what this drama has to offer!
9/10!!

The truth is we're all weird. There's no such thing as normal.

I've long ago learned never to judge someone by first impressions and that everyone is human. Most likely that person isn't rude, they just are afraid to say what they think. They're not cold, they're shy. There's always more to a person and in reality in many ways we're all alike and vastly different. It's confusing.

I love the idea and concept of this first episode being Eun Jae as the fish out of water. New experiencing can be scary and everyone has to know when to jump back into the water. Just having the courage to say something can be hard. While other's don't even blink and can take the plunge. I know I'm one of those people who get's super nervous. But I always make myself speak up. It might be scary, but life is usually better when you have voice.

This first episode is (hopefully) the model for this show. I love the realistic aspect of it! All these girls are so fun and real. It's true when you're rooming with strangers they are strangers. You need to speak up. Hopefully you'll live Stranger Ville and start entering Friendship Zone. The reality is with strange roommates you may never know each other or become friends.

I'm very curious how the relationship between the characters will grow. While we don't know a lot, and we're just at the stereotype phase of development, I think it's a very promising cast. I'm really excited about this drama and I'm pretty sure my MDL friends are right that this was exactly what I was looking for.

(Ye Eun's boyfriend antics are gong to be source of much giggling I'm sure!)

Eun Jae is definitely a character I want to cheer on! I want to see her grow and I love that she already is sticking up for herself. I want to be there for her journey as she becomes stronger and can face life with more courage. After all finding words for yourself and using them is hard, it's just matter of the degree.
