Our two main leads both have issues of abandonment and psychological trauma from childhood experiences. As adults, they are dealing with their issues and loneliness in different ways: the ML surrounds himself with as many people as possible no matter if they’re just using him, and the FL does not allow anyone to get close to her. As neighbors, their different personalities clash in the beginning, but eventually they realize that they are not too dissimilar and begin to fall for each other. This is a well written, acted, and directed two-episode drama. It touches on mental health, and shows the effects of how family dysfunctions in childhood carry over to our adult lives. This is also one of few Korean romantic comedy that I’ve seen that shows realistic adult relationship: sex before marriage or even committed relationship, and honest to goodness actual kissing and not the frozen lip fish eye kind. It does have a happy ending, but the main leads first had to address their own issues before they both can move forward together. What made this short drama extra special is Gong Myung, who brought life to the lovable character Byeok Soo.
