Another Cdrama that hits all the marks. Getting more and more impressed with Cdrama. Story: not new just modernized saga of 5 girls who transform into women via life's trials, happiness, sadness, MEN and sisterhood. Story focused on female sisterhood that is earned and rewarded by seeing the faults, beauty & loyalty of any relationships. Story was draggy in some eps however character development was spot-on and so-far (S1) no backbiting, hair tearing or betrayal yet lots of misunderstanding! Acting: Stellar actors of NiF bring the fire in this drama. The men were smouldering & mature. The women were spot-on their character portrayal - thus a casting nirvana. Some characters were irritating as the writer wanted us to feel however the cast & acting was refreshingly well done! Music: fit the drama, some was cheesy, nothing memorable except the opening music was rather primal and memorable. Well played PD & writer. RW: maybe before S2 comes to refresh - some scenes were memorable. Not telling which one for me.... Overall, this drama is for a more mature minded viewer since it lacks the silliness factor many long dramas incorporate to extend or capture a younger viewership. If you need something to bridge that NiF gap, give this Cdrama a serious view. Be prepared for laughs, sighs and tears and its all worth it!
