this drama really has a warm & cozy feel to it. It's definitely the type of show that you can sit under the covers with a cup of hot chocolate and just watch. From the beginning you will instantly sypmathize with Dan-i. I like how the drama show the audience how hard it can be for a middle-aged woman to be going back to the workplace. I had no idea how difficult that could be. story is sad and this drama really emphasizes how positive and of a woman she is after everything she's gone through. Even after all her hardships she never loses hope that things will turn out better.

I thought the relationship between eun-ho and Dan-i was cute. For people who like skinship and lovey dovey couple moments, you'll get a lot of that once they start dating but not too much to the point where it's cringy.

The whole childhood friend trope gets boring to me but I like the way this drama did it. It gave the main leads more of a connection to each other. I liked how dedicated eun-ho was to making sure Dan-i was happy and how he always put her first. he had always been looking out for her even during the years they grew apart and he stayed by her side throughout some of the most difficult times in her life. You really feel that he cared for her.

I actually really liked the supporting characters. I really enjoyed the banter and conversations between the coworkers at the publishing company( I love the whole theme of the book publishing company. It really shows you the work that goes into making and publishing a book. If you're a reader then you will probably enjoy watching the process :)) After a while, I found myself getting more invested supporting characters than the leads.

Overall I think this was a really good drama. To be honest I started getting bored the last few episodes but I stuck it out to the end however I definitely don't regret watching this. Definitely give this one a try. I give it a 8/10
