Nostalgic and heartwarming

For some reason, this show reminded me of the type of show I'd watch in the 2010s. In fact, I found myself comparing it to "It's Okay, That's Love" at times due to the similarities in some of the writing (a bunch of adults living together, the types of careers the main cast had, enemies to lovers trope) which I absolutely loved at the time. In fact, had I not checked when it was made I would have assumed it came out around that time as the style is reminiscent of what was popular at the time.

The main couple frustrated me at times (attachment style fans, I'm sure you understand what I mean), especially at times where it seemed like the other characters had to handhold them through some of their conflicts. However, I still found myself rooting for them and cheering when they were able to resolve their problems.

Cinematography is nothing to write home about. Acting at times was not the best (mostly felt this way about the male lead). Buuut, this brought me out of my drama slump and had me emotionally attached to the recurring cast by the end so I'd still consider it a solid watch.
