Well paced slice of life about fear and moving forward
**Top Notes**
Twin sisters work together to overcome their fears and find their place in the world. A heartwarming story on adulthood and self-discovery.
More than a healing story, it explores how people move forward in life despite hardship and setbacks.
**Middle Notes**
I've never watched anything with Park Jinyoung except Dream High, which was decades ago. He's a convincing actor, and I really liked the emotional scene he had with his mom later in the show. However, his chemistry with Park Boyoung fell short for me.
I've watched Park Boyoung in many dramas, and she's always had great chemistry with her co-stars, but the chemistry in this one wasn't as strong for me. It might be from the writing since love was a secondary theme, while career and coming of age were the main themes. All their scenes together were very cute, but I just couldn't believe they were actually a couple.
Park Boyoung did a fantastic job playing both sisters. Certified award-winning performance. You could tell which sister she was playing based on the expressions and movement alone.
I've been hooked on that intro song since I heard it. On Your Side — Sion
**Base Notes**
There were so many arcs, all well written. Every arc naturally fits the overall plot and has its own ending. Each main character had a career arc and even parent/family arcs. I loved that they even explored Yeom Bunhong's (Hosu's mom) story. She is a very strong character and deserves her own moment.
The generational trauma was also beautifully written. It's so common yet not portrayed enough in dramas. It is your mother's first life as well; they will not be perfect. I cried a little here because the emotions hit the same as When Life Gives You Tangerines. Not all mistakes in life need to be apologized for or forgiven; you just move on.
