These kinds of stories are more my favourites in the K-Drama world. No otherworldly villains or antagonists. Just three couples trying to live their lives - one through convenience, one through unwillingness to take the next step, and one where careers come first. And it’s a thrilling ride, albeit a bit predictable. But that doesn’t take away how enjoyable and easy the drama is to get invested in. The plot points dealt with many everyday occurrences such as the meaning of marriage, dealing with sexual harassment at work - both being the victim and being on on-looker - growing up both professional and personally. Tonally, the plots were usually not too heavy nor is it played for laughs. The serious subjects were treated with respect and the lighter plots have their own weight to them as well.

The cast and acting was excellent as well. Lee Min Ki was pretty much perfect as the prickly, socially awkward Se Hee. His chemistry with Jung So Min was excellent - although there is only so many times I can take their football talk and not roll my eyes at the complete transparency in how little they are into football (in real life I mean) - but also Park Byung Eun’s character Sang Goo, Se Hee’s best friend and Boss. All the leads matched well with their counterparts as well as the supporting roles. Shout out to Bo Mi as a character. Was a good friend to everyone she interacted with, added some good, witty humor to her scenes while having good chemistry with Won Seok (played by Kim Min Seok), to the point where you wouldn’t mind if he took her up on her offer to be together at the end. I can’t praise this enough. The acting and casting from the Families to the main cast was outstanding.
