Perfection!

This so warm and sweet and beautifully written. The lead couple is incredible! I cannot handle how cute they are, it's one of those situations where I literally squirm in my seat because I need a physical outlet for how much I swoon when I watch them together. They're former childhood best friends (2 of a 4 person childhood friend group) who reconnect in adulthood they understand and care for each other in such a lovely way. Watching them work their way towards each other was so heartwarming. They have the cozy familiarity of long term besties but when they pine for each other it's electric and when they're together the kisses are certainly not platonic! I've seen my share of childhood flashback scenes by now and this show handled them especially well.

The friendships, family relationships, and secondary romances were also excellent. I just loved spending time with these characters and watching them eat and talk and work and play together. They also did a great job with the second ML, making him a well rounded and sympathetic character and not just a plot obstacle. I can't emphasize enough what a delightful watch this was and how much I was moved by its tender good-heartedness. The Kim So Yeon cameo at the end was the perfect cherry on top of the sundae, it's so cute she and Lee Sang Woo guest spot on each other's shows.
