Lately, I’ve been in a bit of a K-drama slump—not due to a lack of good dramas, but because I haven’t managed to finish any in the past few months. Maybe it’s because I haven’t had enough free time or maybe I just wasn’t in the mood. However, this new drama has completely captivated me right from the very first episode.

The PLOT might seem familiar at first glance, drawing comparisons to "Welcome to Sam-dalri" and "Dr Slump," and while I can see where those comments are coming from, there’s something about this drama that makes it stand out. Sure, the childhood friends-to-lovers trope can get a bit predictable, but the unique way this show handles it........has hooked me.

The ACTING in this drama is top-notch, which definitely contributes to its appeal. I also appreciate that some of the backstory is revealed early on rather than being dragged out until midway or the end. This approach keeps the suspense high and my interest piqued as I looked forward to each new episode. But that feeling didn't last long. I really felt the FL's break from work backstory a little too common and the writers could have done it in a much better way. As it was a great start for this drama I started to have high expectations regarding this. So, I was a bit let down because of this I would say.

One of the things I really loved in this drama is the siblings relationship which was portrayed in a domestic way, the friendship portrayed in this drama is really top notch and kudos to the characters for portraying it so well. I felt that the Leads fathers duo is a little bit cringe. But the character I really liked the best is the reporter's character. His acting and his visuals hyped his character even more.

Now coming to the COUPLES, I really wish this kind of Hyerung Dong(The area where they live) with all these characters really existed and I wish I could visit that place and go to ATLEINER(ML's company) to have a cup of coffee hahaha. This is the kind of feeling I got while I watched this drama. And the couples that stood out were ML's PARENTS and Mo-Eum x Dan-Ho. I really liked these couples even more than the main couple. Their story is very emotional and it was so heart-touching.

One more concern of mine is the episode length—each one runs over an hour. So I had to watch this drama in a 2x speed because I have very little patience and am eager to know how the episode would end. And because of this I might have missed few of the emotional scenes but I enjoyed it this way LOL

--> IF you feel like this drama is a bit lengthy THEN try watching with 2x speed.
--> IF you feel that this drama is similar to some to other drama THEN try to watch the episode and then decide to watch the rest of the episodes or not.
--> IF you are in a confusion whether to watch it or not THEN do watch it because it gives you a fresh atmosphere.
--> IF you feel like you've watched enough spoilers and you've understood the entire story THEN you are definitely wrong cause this drama offers more than what it seems to be.

PS: If you’re a fan of the actors or find the synopsis intriguing, or if you’re open to giving it a shot, I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND checking it out!
