I got to know about this drama through feeds and was immediately interested. Initially, I thought it would lean more towards mystery because "mystery tag" is supposedly the first one, but I was pleasantly surprised by its heartwarming and simplistic tone more like an slice of life.

The story revolves around a mother who had a teen pregnancy in high school, navigating through various struggles and sacrifices as she raised her daughter. The highlight of this show is Mother- Daughter dynamic. Considering their age gap their relationship felt so real, almost like sisters, with its mix of love and conflict.

PROS

There were moments when I found the mother's actions to be selfish, but I could empathize with her desire to live life on her own wishes. I was drawn to her extroverted and energetic personality, personally whole time I felt she should have been a cop instead of FL because she is so much involved in the cases than the FL was LOL.

I also found it good to see that female lead wasn't a brat, like she was one of the genuine and considerate characters in the drama.

I appreciate that the mystery aspect wasn't excessively prolonged. While it was a part of the storyline, it wasn't the main focus, making it an easy and enjoyable watch.

CONS

The romantic storyline involving the mother dominated much of the screen time, I eventually found myself growing bored of it.

It would have been great if both male leads had received more screen time to delve into their backstories. I was particularly interested in learning more about their lives, and it felt like there were missing pieces that prevented us from fully understanding them. Getting to know them better would have added depth to the story and made their characters more compelling.

Nevertheless, the drama offered a nuanced portrayal of familial dynamics and personal growth of characters that kept me engaged throughout.
