Overall 7.0
Story 6.5
Acting/Cast 8.0
Music 7.5
Rewatch Value 6.0
Comforting, well-executed with no surprises

There is no tension in this drama. The main couple always do the right thing, and a lot of the teasing and tension of the first 10 episodes disappears. What kept me watching was the fun chemistry of the second couple, sweet and full of hijinks all the way through.

The music is decent with a wistful hint. There is no reason to rewatch.

I grade by other criteria:

Complex Themes - 3
I have nothing except stick to the righteous path. Friends are important.

Character Development - 5
Characters are roughy the same at the beginning as the end, though our 'Maiden Holmes' becomes a little lighter hearted and at ease.

Complex roles/relationships for women - 7
There were two female roles here, who were genuine friends, competent and professional. They did not just talk about their romantic relationships with men.

Production Design/Budget - 8
For being on the lower budget side, this is well put together with flattering costumes and sets and a decent amount of outdoor shots.
