It's a story that focuses on the relationships of the characters.

I started watching this drama mostly for the Older Woman Younger Man trope. Jongsuk being in it is just an added bonus.
In my opinion and based on the summary, the main plot or major plot of the series is of Dan Yi's struggle coming out of a divorce after years of being a housewife. Personally I would consider them wrapping up the major plot right at the start of Episode 2 with Dan Yi getting the job. That solved her major plot problem which is money.

After that all you have left to watch from the series is how Dan Yi and Eun Ho will get together, who Park Byeong Jun is, and Danyi and Seo Jun's interest with one another will develop.

I love the characterization for the characters in the series. Eun Ho and Dan Yi's relationship is so lighthearted that it will keep your worries away, Seo Jun and Dan Yi's relationship is comfortable and budding, while Dan Yi and Hae Rin's work relationship is just immculate. These relationships is really what kept me watching the show.

What I particularly loved in this series is how Song Hae Rin's. Her relationship with Dan Yi never changed even after she found out about Dan Yi and Eun Ho. She never become a hysterical crush, she never treated Dan Yi disrespectfully in their workplace because of her affections for Eun Ho. And that particular bit is so refreshing because we've all been bombarded with poorly written female characters that go ape shit because male writers suck.

Ms. Go's perspective for Dan Yi also didn't become overacting. She's meticulous and very career oriented. Her decisions are correct and is never against Dan Yi.

All in all this series gave me a few surprises, like the lesbian ex of Eun Ho, Song Hae Rin's great character, Eun Ho and Seo Jun's bromance. Unfortunately Dan Yi's personality failed to uphold til the end, that or I'm just expecting something different. I was expecting a little bit more struggle between Eun Ho and Dan Yi. But they never tackled about Dan Yi's daughter anymore after the first few episodes. I also get it why Dan Yi accepted Eun Ho's love right away, as she have that no nonsense attitude with love given her reaction to Seo Jun's attraction, but still it felt too easy.

In one of the scenes I expected her to be doing something on her own, but I was deeply disappointed to see that it was only motivated by the change around her.

This is not an female independence series that I was expecting it to be. I'm a bit disappointed but still would consider this series as a comfortable show I will watch if I want to feel something lovely in my dead cold heart.
