Cute and comforting (other than the...you know)

I loved the vibes of this one a lot. It felt extremely comforting to follow a character that came to terms with not having a dream and just being comfortable with enjoying the day-to-day. The romance is subtle, but its still there — and it matches the characters really well.

The main hiccup in this drama is the — yep, you guessed it — the murder plot. It really came out of left field, with suspects that were barely hinted at before. Then it was resolved in less than an episode, and it felt like everyone just...moved on. I don't think we needed it at all, and there were much more down-to-earth subplots that we could've gone for.

Nevertheless, it was sort of a blip, so it didn't bother me so much. My other minor con would be that the drama seems to redo the "drunk" subplot far too often, but other than that, I still really enjoyed this one at the end of the day.
