The actresses showcase fantastic chemistry and deliver impressive performances!

The plot could use some improvement. I really enjoyed the beginning; those sweet moments were delightful. Lada's mother, on the other hand, is quite the villain, which is unfortunate for her. It's tough to see how manipulative her mother is, but every drama needs a bit of evil to create tension.

However, what I found frustrating was when Earn decided to eat the dessert despite knowing she’s allergic to bananas. Eating a banana in the hospital was also a poor choice—it felt immature and a bit lazy in terms of writing, just to force a reconnection between the two characters. Testing someone's affection by bringing your allergy into the mix is quite dumb.

I'm not comfortable with scenes where characters engage in sex after one of them has been drinking. It feels wrong when someone has clearly expressed that they don't want you in their life, yet another person takes advantage of their intoxication.

Even if the drunk individual is still in love with you, it would be more respectful to suggest waiting until they're sober to see if they still feel the same way.

It seems rather immature for them to play jealousy games after having spent the night together. Given that one of the characters is a doctor, I would expect a bit more maturity from her. If their intimate encounter hadn’t taken place, I might be more understanding of this whole "trying to make each other jealous" storyline.

Later on, they seem to be on good terms, but I wish we could see more of their journey. What really brought them together? It wasn't that night they spent together, especially since they were just trying to make each other jealous not long ago.

Another misunderstanding occurs, leading to more tension between them. I realize that a shift is necessary (for the drama to be more dramatic), as I mentioned, when they were getting along for that brief moment, it felt incredibly rushed. Because of that, I didn’t really mind when they fell out again. Now, they’re attempting to start fresh, but it feels just as hurried this time.

I feel that the frequent use of "go away, I don’t want to see you" followed by moments of getting along has become tiresome, causing the plot to lose its strength.

The remarkable chemistry shared by the lead actresses helped the series avoid being just average.
