One of the best shows I've watched in a while

I have a very short attention span and get bored easily, so I thought I would drop this after the first two episodes but I was so wrong! I personally know what it feels like to burn out in a toxic environment and how your live can change drastically after someone close to you dies. The storyline was very similar and realistic to my experience yet somehow completely different, I liked that.
This show won't be peaceful from start to finish but! it IS worth it. Going through ups and downs in life is totally normal and I think everyone can relate to this show at some point.
The actors and actresses came off very genuine. They weren't cringy or insufferable to watch at all. I also liked how the two leads weren't pushed together romantically very quickly and rather formed their bond slowly. It was a great watch, especially for a hopeless romantic like me. I think a kiss scene after the 4th or 5th episode would have made me drop the show altogether.
Overall, I just love how this is a big fuck you to societal norms and expectations towards women (especially young women) and how we should all be perfect at everything we do. I've never had a chance to take a break from a situation like Yeoreum's but watching her summer strike really made me feel like I took a break as well, it was very refreshing. I think we should normalize not having big goals and living one day at a time. Pressuring people into doing stuff they aren't ready/don't want to do is just weird and unnecessary.
This show will always be very charming to me and I am always happy to rewatch it. If you're hesitant about watching, please give it a chance!
