Wish I knew this drama sooner

The story is perfect for me to watch. There are no melodrama or whatsoever, and very light to watch. The leads personality are great too! The music is addicting and very good. They use different music to different scenes very well, for example, when Ah Reum fall in love with Woo Sung, they played Taeyang Eyes Nose Lips that are supposed to be a sad romantic song, but in the context, it became very funny.

What's sad is the reporters should've been in jail :(. Especially the one who trespassed Jin Jin's apartment, and the one who wants to leak a relationship. I know reporters need to survive in the industry, but breaking someone's career and celebrating over it seems personal, and I think the reporter in the story enjoyed when Anthony beg and payed him. If the celebrity reporters irl act like this, then I feel bad for Korean celebrities who can't even enjoy their own romantic life. Ah also they could've included the sasaeng going to jail for attempted murder, that would've been nice too.

Well, in conclusion, this drama hits every spot, enviably friendship, childhood friends, first love reunited, supporting parents, and funny sibling relationship. That's what I need in dramas combined into one. It's worth the watch.

This happen when you try to make forceful love triangle and then force them into settling it

Perfection!

This so warm and sweet and beautifully written. The lead couple is incredible! I cannot handle how cute they are, it's one of those situations where I literally squirm in my seat because I need a physical outlet for how much I swoon when I watch them together. They're former childhood best friends (2 of a 4 person childhood friend group) who reconnect in adulthood they understand and care for each other in such a lovely way. Watching them work their way towards each other was so heartwarming. They have the cozy familiarity of long term besties but when they pine for each other it's electric and when they're together the kisses are certainly not platonic! I've seen my share of childhood flashback scenes by now and this show handled them especially well.

The friendships, family relationships, and secondary romances were also excellent. I just loved spending time with these characters and watching them eat and talk and work and play together. They also did a great job with the second ML, making him a well rounded and sympathetic character and not just a plot obstacle. I can't emphasize enough what a delightful watch this was and how much I was moved by its tender good-heartedness. The Kim So Yeon cameo at the end was the perfect cherry on top of the sundae, it's so cute she and Lee Sang Woo guest spot on each other's shows.

While I really wanted to enjoy this drama, I found the romance to be very drawn out and didn't feel the chemistry between the leads. I adored the side characters and really wished they got to have some more depth. That being said, if you want a feel good, cute, simple romance drama to watch - this is it.

Overall, I felt the story to be really cliche at points and felt that a break from Sa Jin Jin's character would be great (the supporting characters had such interested and unique backstories - I really feel that was a missed opportunity for the writers). I loved the friendship between our three female leads and really appreciate how deep their love for each other was - no petty fighting among friends over a male lead, etc. I LOVED Anthony's character and would've loved to see more of his story as I felt his entire arc revolved around his growing feelings for Jin Jin.

That being said, this was a well done drama. The music was lovely, the plot was fairly straightforward, I really just was disappointed at the lack of focus on Ah Reum and Young Shim - they had such amazing careers and it would've been great to see them expanded upon aside from furthering the main couple along.

This review may contain spoilers
i really liked
although i love simple dramas with no much tragedy but this one made me feel a little unreal
cause life is much complicated than that

but at the same time it made u feel how life can be simple if we act write

the only thing that bothered me much F&M leads they didn't fit their roles in my opinion

ye suel still have to work on her face impression a lot
her face impression was almost the same in all situations
and the M lead he is more successful at the second lead but not the lead role
i think it was going to be much better if sang woo was the first M lead and so yeon was the first F lead

i hated the character of Ah Reum so much

and i wished they focused more one the romance story between Sang Hee and her boss
it was really cute and it doesn't take it's place
and the love story also between sang woo and so yeon i wished they focused on it

till the end i didn't get why ye seul sister disappeared for five years
and what happened to her to escape and leave her family without a word
and return again without any explanation

and what was the story of the shoes ji sul left with his ex ??

despite of all that it was light, smooth, cute and refreshing drama didn't make u feel bored
if u think to watch don't hesitate and GO AHEAD ;)

BTW the hair style and the fashion in this drama was awful it provoked me much
