healing drama that can get a bit boring if you don't connect with any of the characters
as a huge fan of lee sungkyung, i'm determined to watch everything on her cinematography and i was fortunately looking for something short so i can finish it fast. i was just looking for something lighthearted and this was obviously the wrong choice because of the minutely heavy themes that were discussed.
i did like this, but i think it lost me a bit in the middle.
to start, we have 4 couples in this show.
the first couple being song haran (lee sungkyung) and seonu chan. i initially found them cute but when we were nearing the end and the guy still hasn't come clean about the truth, i got tired of it. i was already iffy about lying by omission being one of the foundations of their relationships, and when we found out, i think it was already too late in the story, and it all felt rushed. i feel like it was manipulative that haran discovered the truth, and then he disappeared and was implied to be hurt so she couldn't even process the lie and her feelings about it too much. it was unfair to haran, and she should've had more time to reflect on everything. instead, she had to worry about chan too soon just because he vanished. i wasn't even rooting for them by the end of it. the chemistry sometimes felt off sometimes too, but maybe that's because i'm really just not a fan of lying and i hated that he never told her sooner.
the second couple being their grandmother kim nabong and park manjae (cafe owner) was cute. i like the backstory they provided, but i honestly skipped most of their screentime. i just wasn't interested. i was also a bit frustrated that the grandmother hid their dementia and that they're technically putting themselves at risk by not telling anyone. if hadam's boyfriend didn't know, who knows what could've happened to her? really, they're all frustrating in this family.
the third couple is COO yeon taeseok and song hayeong which is surprisingly my favorite couple in the show. i really like the dynamics between both of them being people pleasers, and hayeong being a straightforward person. she embodies the middle-child personality well, and the chemistry between them is good. shame that we didn't see much of them, but i'm glad they didn't rush the plot between the two.
the last high schooler couple, song hadam and cha yugyeom, was also quite okay. they reminded me of the numerous high school YA dramas i've watched before, and they were both frustrating and hilarious. classic high schoolers and their miscommunication.
all in all, if you're into faster pacing when it comes to plot moving forward, this might not be for you. i do love that we didn't have unnecessary drama or love triangles, but it can get slow and bland especially when you lose interest in the characters. the strongest connection i have with this drama is the sisters and how they relate to one another. that's all, really. there's a bit too much lying to their partners on not just one but, like, 3 couples for my taste which is why i couldn't rate it higher. it definitely felt like a few episodes were cutoff because the last 2 episodes rushed through the remaining problems the characters had.
