Everything about this drama is just comforting and ideal.

A broke writer in her 30s who was looking for a new room due to family issue ended up living with a single man who's only close to his cat and has chosen not to marry. He owns a home but still in debt, so he's happy with the rent. Thus, they both agreed to a marriage contract for two years, sharing home being landlord and tenant. However, things do not go so smooth upon family interventions and personal values clash.

?Shout out to the main couple because their logics are relatable and funny! Watching their interactions were so peaceful and comfortable. Each episode has its’ own unique arc and they’re all adding a profound impact to the plot. Although the premise is the main lead's unique romance, I get to know the two friends' lives that touch on careers, marriage, and gender roles issues too. Their stories add different dynamics together to the leads’ and just as interesting as the lead’s story. I really appreciate that this friendships had real conflicts and fights. One of my favorite character is the career-driven friend who provides a strong portrayal of an empowered woman. She challenges patriarchal views and addresses sexism issues …and I'm eating all that up!

Although it was really good, there are still some drawbacks which I felt; The storyline was unpredictable at first but it became a bit predictable and monotonous after few episodes, when it started following the cliché. Lastly, I felt the ending is just purely closed with convenience and it’s a bit unbelievable.?
