A Much Better Watch Than I Anticipated.
I didn’t expect to enjoy this drama as much as I ultimately did. The first four episodes were admittedly not very impressive—the female lead felt stiff, and the male lead’s actions, especially using her trauma to search for his sister, made it difficult to connect with them. But everything shifted as the story progressed. The misunderstandings between them later was completely justified from her side, yet the male lead’s gradual change felt sincere and believable. Their individual character development was one of the drama’s strongest points.Their chemistry also grew naturally; I especially loved how comfortable they became with skinship and how openly they confronted the painful past between them. Another aspect I deeply appreciated was the second male lead’s arc. He initially tried to pursue her, but the moment he realized his "conquering" made her uncomfortable, he stepped back. He refused to let something as pure as love turn into a burden for her, and that maturity made his character stand out.
The cases woven into the plot were engaging, well-paced, and never dragged. The villains weren’t always predictable, and the drama used each case to shed light on the different forms of abuse women face—a choice I truly admired. Overall, despite a slow and shaky beginning, the drama surprised me with its thoughtful storytelling, strong character growth, and emotional depth.

More Than Just a Cat: A Story of Love, Loss, and Realization
At first glance, the drama appears to center on something as simple as the custody of a cat. But beneath that surface lies a much deeper, more emotional narrative,one about a couple navigating the pain of separation and divorce. What truly drives their relationship apart isn't just the challenges of infertility, but their inability to communicate, to express vulnerability, and to confront their struggles together.Both partners suppress their emotions for so long that, when they finally erupt, it's in a way that leaves their relationship fractured. The divorce feels like the inevitable outcome of two people growing distant while silently carrying the weight of unspoken pain.
Ironically, it's the dispute over who "deserves" to keep the cat that becomes a turning point. This seemingly trivial conflict forces them to reflect—not just on their shared memories, but on the deeper issues that led them to this point. Through this journey, they begin to understand their own roles in the breakdown of the relationship, revealing that the story was never just about the cat—it was about everything they couldn’t say to each other.

A Heartfelt Tale of Love, Friendship and Life’s Perfect Timing!
This drama is a heartfelt journey that blends friendship, romance and social expectations with surprising sincerity.It explores the pressure to marry young, while beautifully reminding us that love can arrive at any age—and that it’s never “too late” to choose happiness. Although it isn’t trying to reinvent the genre, it stands out through its charming execution: the cinematography is lovely, the OST fits every scene perfectly, and the dialogues feel natural and meaningful.
The characters are refreshingly realistic, flawed in ways that make them deeply relatable rather than idealized. It’s a small drama, where every episode carries warmth, comfort and emotional honesty. If you’re looking for something genuinely good and easy to enjoy, this one is absolutely worth your time.
