My Comfort Show ??
It’s honestly hard to explain for how long I’ve loved Hello, My Twenties… I watched it in my early twenties and Season 1 still has its own corner in my heart. Back then I desperately wanted to live on my own, have roommates, have that little messy freedom. And somehow… life actually gave me all of that.I liked that I related to pieces of every character in small doses. I mean..it's a drama so some parts are unrealistic or stretched out, but I truly enjoyed every single moment. When life gets heavy and I don’t feel like starting something new, I go right back to this drama and I feel myself resetting again.
I still don’t know what makes it so special. Maybe because in school I was totally the Eun-jae in my friend group (quiet, awkward, unsure), later...once I got comfortable, I became more like Ji-won… loud, goofy, chaotic in the best way. I’ve also had phases where I worked two jobs and studied so much that life turned numb and robotic, and Jin-myung’s whole storyline felt a little too real. Dark times! Ugh... Sometimes I judge people too quickly like Ye-eun… and sometimes I get judged like Kang Yi-na without even realizing it until afterwards.
And Ye-eun’s relationship arc… :( yeah, that one hit hard. Being stuck in a toxic relationship and not realizing how pathetic you’re acting because you’re scared of being alone… scared you’re asking for too much… waiting for them to magically change… not understanding that real love isn’t supposed to feel like that. I’ve lived that. So I could never call her story unrealistic, even if it hurt to watch. I wanted to punch that guy in the face so many times!!!
The drama definitely has flaws, I won’t deny that. But it somehow passed the test of time for me. It still feels warm and familiar every time I go back to it, like opening an old diary or photo album lol. idk. I can’t explain it properly… but I don’t get bored of it. Not yet at least. ;)

The Acting is soo bad
I usually eat this kind of plot up... like seriously. I LOVED THE PLOT SUMMARY so much that I came to watch with no spoilers, no teasers, or needing any information on who the cast was. But from the very first episode, the acting- OH MY GOD... It is not letting me finish this series. Even one episode is so hard to get through. I'm sure people like this exist, but they are usually not the main leads of the show. What is wrong with the female lead, and why is she acting like that? Also, sometimes it's just a clear overreaction, but so awkwardly played out. I have to stop watching it... I will not be finishing the second episode. It is hard to sit through.Was this review helpful to you?
