Too much time spent on side characters (felt like filler)
I absolutely loved this drama, it's so good in so many ways. I think the casting was perfect as well as the OST. However, in my opinion, the side characters are given wayyyy too much screen time.
Prior to everyone moving to Hyun-woo's hometown after they initially lost everything, there was too much screen time given to the three ladies and Hyun-woo's sister in the salon. These scenes just made no sense to me to be honest. Some of the episodes would go from a really deep and important scene with the main characters and randomly pan over to the salon shop or Hyun-woo's family home for a non-important scene that would last 3-5 minutes. I've only watched a few kdramas so I'm not too sure if this is common practice, but these scenes would have 0 impact on the story and to be honest it felt like it was filler to make the episodes longer. Instead of running the episodes from 75-90 minutes, I think that it would have been better to just cut out some of these random pointless scenes and trim the episodes down by a few minutes at least. I didn't really mind it too much in the beginning, but once it kept happening into the second half of the show it was too much.
Overall, I loved this drama in so many ways, but, the side character filler in some episodes just made it feel like a bit of a chore to watch.
