Starts out promising with gorgeous male cast but ultimately disappoints.

Overview: Ae-Jong is a single mom with a 14 year old daughter and big dreams of becoming a movie producer. One day she has the opportunity to make her dreams come true... while attracting the interest of four guys (three from her past and one new). Will she fall for any of them? And might one of them be the father of her daughter? Must watch to find out

Reactions: I initially found the female lead annoying — too helpless and over dramatic as a character, to the point where it is not clear why the male leads like her so much. I initially stuck with the show because the male leads and female supporting cast (especially daughter and her landlord/friend) really sold the show for me. The plot is light and moves along slowly, and there are many cliches but most of the characters were initially so fun to watch (eg., a fight scene between two men that devolves to hair pulling and wrestling made me laugh, and drama with the PTA at the daughters school) that I didn’t mind. However over time the lack of character development really became noticeable and I became frustrated because we never see enough positive interactions in the past to understand why any of the characters like the main female lead or to root for a relationship going forward. I stopped feeling invested in the story and couldn’t follow through to the end.
