A light and heartwarming drama for every rom-com lover.
This drama has everything that a person needs to watch in a drama. No unnecessary fights, healthy relationships, character development, beautiful OST, perfect writing and casting.
Yoo Eun Ho’s character was so well written. He is an organized, kind, reliable, amazing Dad and neighbour. His cooking skills were not inferior to any chef's. A greenest flag which every woman deserves in real life. He had an amazing work-life balance. Always available to help his coworkers which made him a great team leader for his career. I often see people neglecting their children when it comes to their health or just well-being. They do not spend time with them with the ultimate excuse that they are busy but this drama never showed that and that's what makes this drama so special. Nothing is more important than his daughter for him. This is how a parent should be even if they are a single parent. This drama showed the struggles of single parents so beautifully even in that case where a lady was fighting for custody. Though I wanted to see more of their father-daughter bond.
Kang Ji Eun was a cold-hearted and straightforward character with past trauma who needed warmth to see what actually living life to the fullest means. She was a great CEO who knew what she wanted.
‘A good partner will bring out the best in you’ so beautifully this drama portrayed this. She might be a cold-hearted person on the outside but she always wanted the best for her clients even if she had to show her soft side to them.
Their chemistry was not like any other Kdrama with cute voices and kisses but a very mature one. Their level of emotional maturity made this drama so special. They know how to communicate and resolve things without wasting any unnecessary time. Seeing Kang Ji Eun in love was like seeing a teenager falling in love. It was so cute and heartwarming. Her confession made my jaw drop. It was so smooth. I just love her straightforwardness. From late-night talks to him curing her insomnia and treating her like she is a kid who is experiencing things for the first time. Misunderstandings were resolved so naturally and they did not take the whole episode as a plus point to watch.
This drama handled the past traumas and family dynamics so well. The kids need separate awards for this show. I watched her in good bad mother and she was damn good. I am glad she got this project. She was a smart, kind and understanding daughter which was perfect for Yoo Eun Ho’s character. So naturally she became close to Kang and even knew that his father got a girlfriend and never threw tantrums because of that. Her moments with Kang Ji Yun were so special. My favorite was when she slept with her while cuddling. It was such a beautiful scene. It was like she had accepted her as a mother.
The second couple’s chemistry was shown only in the last two episodes before that they were drinking buddies with the same wounds. Their bond was more on the friendship side but I liked that. I got to see different chemistry in the same series. But I needed more of their screen time.
My only disappointment is why they didn't show Kim Hye Jin’s downfall properly. She did so dirty and even blamed someone else for the things she did.
If I am not wrong this drama is Lee Jun Hyuk’s first rom-com where he is in the main lead. The casting was amazing because I have watched his other dramas and they were great. He is a great and experienced actor but in some scenes, it felt like he was trying too hard to show the audience that he could fit in this genre as well. Maybe I am the only one who noticed it. I am sure this drama will open huge opportunities for him because everyone starts at some point.
Overall this drama may have the same plot as other dramas but after watching it, it will make you realize that it is so much different. I strongly recommend it to everyone, even those who typically don't enjoy rom-coms. It's appealing because it avoids being cheesy.
