Hello, dear MDL readers!
This time around, I will talk about a bubbly and fresh romantic comedy, with a sunny side just perfect for a summer weekend!
Fair Warning: This article contains major spoilers for episodes 1-4!
(Scenes are included.)
Jung Saet Byul is a young girl in her 20's with a four-dimensional personality, being also good at throwing a punch or two when it's needed, along with an endless sense of loyalty towards her friends. She could have anyone by her side, but someone during her teen days kept her quite distracted, Choi Dae Hyun. A strange encounter filled up with cigarettes is bound to leave off a trace...And so it happens that just after three years pass, their paths cross again. But what will happen if this time around Saet Byul wants to get a job at the convenience store, where Dae Hyun's now in charge?
A story about change, dreams, growth intermingled with the perfume of a fragrant first love is on the way, "in a place where lights are on 24 hours and where people need something to find peace."

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe...Rules are his middle name.
Well, he is an eye candy in a nutshell: honest, selfless and pure-hearted but has only a flaw or two, because he tends to be quite indecisive, but really strict when it comes to respecting rules, thus he usually may seem like a nonflexible person, but in fact, that's only his outer appearance. In the past, he worked in a bigger company, where he stumbled upon hardships every time... Now it's time for him to change around his future as a store manager! But the question is, will he be able to handle Saet Byul fiery temperament, without getting her fired, first? Only when he will truly start to open up his mind and heart, he will be able to see the real side of things, just as they are, without being blinded by the lies and prejudices that surround him.

A powerful whirlwind that breaks out in the face of injustice.
Even the actress herself states that "Saet Byul is a girl who knows exactly what she likes" and despite being fierce, she also has a tender heart underneath, making her "someone you're unable to hate". She's athletic, hard-working, and passionate about everything she does, using a sprinting power towards reaching her goals and dreams. But will she be able to be brave enough and continue fighting on, even when it comes to the complicated matters of the heart?
That point remains to be seen since her actions always seem to be misunderstood...

#StayatHome "I was too biased to see her for whom she really is."
She is definitely no longer a child actress!
