The strength of the series does not lie in the plot, which falters a bit at points, but rather in the characters and their very real moments of vulnerability and crisis. All the characters in the show are written brilliantly, they have their ups and downs which feel so real at times that you can't help but compare it to events that happened to you or to someone you know. The female lead is the character I found to be the most relatable, every time she went on a monologue about the difficulties of trying to live as a single woman in a city, the difficulties of trying to 'settle' into a career, the insecurities and uncertainties you feel when you don't know if you are going towards your goal or away from it. Ji-ho is a beautiful character for me, I can see myself in all of her vulnerable moments, but I can also see that she's a wonderfully strong character, strong in a very 'real' sense, the strong women I have met in my life, soft spoken and polite, caring but headstrong.

One particular line has struck me in this series. It is when Ji-ho says: "All my twenties I have tried to work to be someone who was needed." This feeling of trying to have a career or life in which you are needed, is what plagues me as a twenty-something person. Like Ji-ho I also do not know if I am going towards my goal or away from it, I don't even have a goal as such right now in my life. But any goal is worth living for, getting married, being your own boss, being in love - all of these are goals good enough. I love how ordinary and real this series is in terms of these things, showing moments of happiness, sorrow and companionship which most of us experience, pointing to the fact that sometimes after a horrible day what you need is only a place to sleep in.

Cons:
We don't get to see when and how the ML falls into love.
The plot is interesting in the first half, but it falters later on.
