(NO SPOILERS HERE) I'm not sure why I positively decided to watch this drama, as the slice of life-ish plot isn't my favorite genre, but I'm grateful I picked this up. It was a good and enjoyable show.
Characters were mostly super likeable and they felt very adult but at the same time childish, in a positive way. The main male (Seon-gyeom) was my favorite and I often dislike main male characters. He was just too pure and awkward but relatable. Seon-gyeom's friend Woo-shik was really cute as well and their relationship was adorable.
I also felt connected to Mi-joo as we're both Translators (lmao, who am I fooling, I'm not a translator yet, but I'm about to be) so I loved watching the scenes of her workplace and also her co-worker/friend/roommate May who was super funny.
The second couple, Dan-ah and Yeong-hwa were great as well, I loved Sooyoung's acting (Dan-ah), it's my first drama of her.
I think that's it for the characters.

9/10 - would recommend if you want to watch something light-hearted & not tragic, something that you don't have to deeply think about. Love it.

(SPOILERS HERE) Now, what I liked the most is that there was no toxic love triangle. Not sure if this counts as spoiler though. I think the trope of the girl choosing between two men is just not for me anymore, I can't take it. Especially because you always know who she's gonna end with. It would be funnier if she kinda played around with both of them but no, she never shows any affection up until Episode 14 & it's only a kiss to the guy we knew she was gonna end up with.
So yeah, that's why I enjoyed watching two couples that don't intertwin (in a romantic way) and stay in their own lanes without being that complicated. Great writing.
I also appreciated that final scene when Dan-ah sort-of apologizes to Ye-jun about the whole lying about being gay situation. I think it's nice that she recognized it was ''wrong'' to just fake your sexual orientation to ''have it easier'' when in reality that's not the case, at least in Korea. The whole arc between Ye-jun and Yeong-hwa had a realistic end to it- it was never gonna happen, but I'm happy they remain as friends.
I have to say that I also thought that (at some point) Woo-shik was in love with Seon-gyeom, I don't know, I wonder if someone else thought about this haha.
I guess that's it. Thanks if you read the whole thing. You must be bored..
