Very comfy, binge-worthy show.
I liked the concept, and I was rooting for the heroine throughout the entire show. The side characters and all dynamics were likeable, and many heartwarming scenes that make you emotionally invested. Also, I had a preference in the love triangle, but I don't mind how things ended either.Some things didn't make this show almost perfect. I wanted more exploring of themes about accepting your beauty possibly without romantic involvement too much but the show was so fun that I glossed over these issues.

A Needed Story to Tell
in this age of seeking productivity, success, getting out of your comfort zone, and enduring stressful and hard-working environments just so you can feel good about yourself, this show was a balm to the soul.it's insanely good at portraying characters struggling with their self-esteem and how they tie it to their careers and relationships. i appreciated the nuance of these turbulent characters, while the main character seems obnoxious at first, a quick glimpse into his inner struggles makes him endearing, especially in how he sugarcoats things and drives through his ups and downs.
it's not a romantic show per se, but the main dynamic is heartwarming in every possible way. i like my romance subtle, where it takes a back seat but the depth in it is still palpable, and this is exactly what the show does.
i was pleasantly entertained throughout it all, especially by how the writing balances different tones across different storylines. Deeply moving and inspiring. Nothing new since this is very much on brand with the writer, but it's refreshing to find stories that move you like this show does.

The main sibling trio was incredibly compelling to follow, and I have to say I've never related to a cast of characters as deeply as I did with this one. I truly believe the authenticity of these characters is something the majority of viewers would connect with, too.
The main romantic subplot -if we can even call it that- was awkward at first, but it still made me giddy to watch it unfold. I appreciated the subtlety of their interactions, the chemistry was off the charts with them. While the entire cast did a phenomenal job portraying these emotionally raw characters, Kim Ji-won really impressed me. Also, this is me being totally shameless, but Son Suk-ku was incredibly sexy for a man with few words and looked unkempt and sweaty 24/7.
Anyway, back to the point: the first chunk of the series made me connect with the characters. Combine that with highly emotional scenes and a beautiful soundtrack, and I was completely hooked. The payoff at the end, while not grand, made me look back at each character's journey under a positive light. It made me realize that not all stories need to end with a deep meaningful message or neat closure. Because, you know, life is just like that sometimes.
The verdict? Definitely recommend. It’s the kind of series that’s going to live rent-free in my head for a really long time, and I’ll absolutely be checking out more of this writer's work.

I’m absolutely not okay
If you’re looking for a one-way ticket to emotional vertigo, this is it. It’s a masterclass in the "hurt so good" trope where the chemistry is so electric you’ll find yourself giggling like a schoolgirl over a ship that the show tells you on page one of their outcome. Kim Tae-ri is absolutely brilliant, pivoting from a chaotic ball of sunshine to a heartbroken pro with terrifying ease, while Nam Joo-hyuk delivers the kind of mature, "anchoring" energy that makes their eventual dynamic feel like a literal slap in the face.:: MAJOR SPOILERS::

Watching them transition from "I have to have you" to a professional "congratulations on your wedding" is a cocktail of disaster that I hated every second of, yet I couldn't look away. It’s a beautiful, bittersweet nightmare that proves the most haunting people aren't ghosts, they're the ones who are just existing in a world where they no longer belong to you.
