✧ women's stories ✧

Completed: February 2024

Review: With this drama, I discovered a newfound love for female-centered dramas. This one dives into the lives and friendship of three fantastic women in their early 30s. The countless references to classic dramas were a delightful and the narrative that gave us a behind-the-scenes insights into drama production, from casting to sponsorship, added an intriguing layer to the drama which kept me interested until the end.

Review: An unlikely group of three women and a teenage boy gets together to get revenge on the men that abused, lied and mistreated them. What makes this story stand out is that for once in a kdrama, women won't stay quiet for appearances and they joined forces to bring down the bastards that abused them. And even though the plot is centered around getting revenge, it's well blended with amazing comedic moments and beautiful friendship between the leads. Surprisingly, the OST is almost non-existence, instead it relies a lot on instrumentals to amplify the scenes, they even added an instrumental of the "Bella Ciao".

Review: This drama perfectly captured the essence of friendships and love in your adult life. The story resonated with me as it depicted four friends who maintained their bond from teens to adulthood, making me reflect on those close friendships that I built when I was young and I have kept for the past 20 years, because like them we really have been through a lot and at times we are really in different stages of life. The romance between the leads was also heartwarming, it showed a relationship built on trust and respect which I loved to see. What I didn’t like, was how some character arcs were lacking, like the storyline of the FL sister or the storyline of each mother.
