A slice of life drama without the drama
It's as bare bones as it gets with this Slice of Life show. While providing incite into being a 30-something woman, having relatable workplace and human conflicts,there is little to no real plot. No melodramatics. No steamy scenes. It's just a very quick, lighthearted "Day in the life" kind of show. Episodes for 10-13 minutes long on YouTube so you can paint your nails or fold some clothes while watching. You won't miss a thing if you look away a few times either because again,there's no real plot. It still put me in a content mood after I finished so I wouldn't say it was a waste of time. I'm just glad it was honest about what it was trying to portray.Was this review helpful to you?
Why am I feeling this drama is totally relateable?
It's definitely because I'm older now and I'm a person now. All the conflicts are so relateable. Even though I'm not yet in my 30s, but I already had a try of feeling those kind of things. The office working environment, the workload of tasks that are not mine, thinking about married, etc. I love how I always relate to the character played by Ryu Hyeyoung. She's always been a star for me.I also like how the story have a good closure where they all can see the good in bad. That is life I guess, maybe at one time, it feels like the worst day ever, but another time it feels like the best day ever.
so far, this is the most relateable web series that I've watched.

Ehh...
This is a difficult drama to rate. With a theme I usually am not a fan of (fashion); this was definitely one of the better ones. But whilst fashion was centre-stage in this drama, it still lacked a genuine story to accompany. Yes, there was a story of sorts, but it was more of a 'moral of the day' kind of approach with each episode. Every episode felt different enough even though the meaning of it was the same. The majority of the episodes were very average, but there were one or two that were very captivating.The same can be said with the acting. The majority were average (not bad, just average!), but there were a couple of standout performers. Actors are humans at the end of the day so I shall not name any names. The OST for the most part was pretty good, but there were one or two songs that stuck out like a sore thumb. Also, this drama is full of constant, repetitive sound effects that almost drove me insane at one point.
Re-watch value given is higher than I had expected. I think it's because of the provided Korean subtitles on the screen and the somewhat slower pace of dialogue which made it a nice treat for my Korean language learning. Would I recommend this? If you are into fashion, give it a try!
