Everyone deserves some hope
Don't get discouraged by the crypto theme! Though prominent and sometimes a bit overbearing, it's mainly used as a way to give hope and a fresh start to our main characters.Let me start by answering the most asked questions. Yes, KYD is a side character. The romance is sizzling hot, but it's not the main focus. The main story is about the daily struggles of our three female characters, frustration with their corporate jobs, family issues, and grief.
The relatively low score is a result of a an ad for the show which some people found controversi (the actual content of the show, apart from crypto, is not controversial at all) as well as from the fact that this was not streamed by any big websites. It's in no way a good representation of the show's quality.
Getting all of that out of the way, this truly, from start to finish, was a heartfelt and well thought-out story, bringing closure to all plots and characters. It leaves no loose ends, and it's great from start to finish.
I really enjoyed that every single female character had their issues, but was very different. From Da Hae, who is tired of being overlooked at her company, Ji Song who just wants to be loved, to Eun Sang, tough and traumatized by her past, but the most caring out of all of them. Over the show's run, we see them making mistakes, losing their hope, but coming back up, standing up for themselves, and finally - wishing for something more. There is no easy way for a happy ending. Nothing is resolved by a quick fix. And money, (though important and the show empathises it, and it's not a lie!), is not enough. I love how the friends support each other, and though sometimes fights are inevitable (which was also shown), we all need such people to lean on.
I loved how our main leads' actions also changes the world around them. Not at once, but gradually, even some really unlikeable characters have their redemption arc.
The show is also very funny in sometimes unexpected way. And the romance, tho a sideplot, is crazy good. Like one of the best this year. The chemistry of the main leads just leaves you wanting more.
A very very hidden gem! I won't lie to you and say that the story is something new you haven't seen before. But there was a lot of heart put into it, and it warmed my heart during these autumn evenings quite a bit.
