Just finished episode 4 and honestly… this drama surprised me. I went in thinking it’d be a cute rom-com, but it’s a lot deeper than that. Geum-joo’s struggle with alcoholism is portrayed so raw and real — it’s uncomfortable at times, but in a good way. Like, finally someone’s showing what recovery actually looks like.
The romance is slow, but meaningful. Gong Myung’s character feels like the calm in Geum-joo’s storm, and their moments together have this quiet tension that makes you root for them. The humor is light and helps break up the heavier moments, but the show doesn’t joke around with the serious stuff either.
It’s not perfect — pacing is a bit slow in places — but it’s real. Messy, emotional, and human. I didn’t expect to feel this much, but I’m definitely staying till the end.
