While there were a few areas that could have benefited from deeper development, especially the side characters and the comedic timing of the side characters were not enjoyable or well executed, the overall storyline was consistent and thoughtfully drawn out across the series. The main characters’ flaws added depth, as their motives, desires, and goals remained unwavering and relatable throughout the show.

The love and connection between the protagonists were the true highlights, setting this drama apart from others in 2024.
