A little slow, with a blunt ending.

Feb 2026.
I picked this more for the cast than the plot. It was a fairly decent watch, but not outstanding in any way.

As the story centres on advertising and selling homes, there are some stunning properties featured.

JSM's character and her mother, were left in debt, so she struggles to save money, and her dream is to own her own home one day.
She ends up working for KJS's character, and their polar views on the meaning of a 'home', and its key selling points, provide some amusing scenes, but also some that are enlightening, and a little sad at times.

The pace is ok, the supporting cast is excellent (several favourites), and the characters pretty standard for an office.
The lives of other team members are touched on as well. Several are far fetched and didn't quite hit the mark in getting me on board/invested.
I did particularly liked character Kye Joi-hee (Ahn Hyun-jo), with her no-nonsense attitude, and outspoken nature; she was often the most mature, even though a more junior team member; I'd have liked to know more about her.

As neither lead character is very experienced in relationships (especially the ML), expect some awkward moments; both amusing and at times touching.

I found the final eps somewhat frustrating, with a main character doing what they so often do; making a decision based on what they think the other will be feeling, yet never actually talking about it! I get very irritated by that, and it happened throughout.

The ending felt odd really; in comparison to tge other 15 eps, it felt blunt and disjointed. Left open to interpretation, to a certain extent, but not in a way that is inconclusive.

As a watch it makes a pretty good 'filler'.
