Not boring, just realistic
I randomly discovered this drama on Netflix and decided to watch it, since I found nothing else to watch. By chance, I discovered an underrated gem!This drama is really amazing. Its a realistic take on life in your twenties and potential struggles you can face. Im sure everybody can find themselves relating to at least one of the girls and their struggles at some point in the story. And maybe you dont see yourself in the specific struggle of the girl, but the motivation and intention behind it.
Without spoilers: I for one was invested and saw myself in Eun-Jae (personality-wise), but as the show went on I also was able to see myself in Yi-Na (her life philosophy) and Jin-Myung (in her struggles).
And even though I see myself the most in these 3, I was also able to see certain aspects of myself in the other 2 girls, which were way more specific though and I want to keep this review spoiler-free :)
Seeing myself in them, I was able to reflect greatly on my own life and how I actually want to develop as a person and live my twenties! So besides just having a more grounded fun drama to watch, it also gave me the possibility to rethink my life a little and teach myself some lessons, which is definitely worth it.
The criticisms I see about this show everywhere is that it is boring and the romances arent anything special or like you see in other dramas, but I feel like thats the point -- in real life you do not meet your prince charming randomly and meet him 24/7 by chance and fall in love, like it is standard in romance shows. Relationships have their ups and downs, and in comparison to the ones seen in drama, they are boring. Thats why i think its portrayed well. This is not a show you watch for witnessing a sweet romance, though there definitely are some, it is not the main focus. So if you are searching for a typical soapy romance drama, this is not the drama for you.
All of this being said now: great drama, very grounded, would recommend everyone to at least watch the first episode and then decide whether the show is for you and youll continue watching or not.
