Cute but not about motherhood
My sister reccomended this drama to me because I was really missing a touching romance like Because this is my first life or Personal Taste, where they talk about the challenges of being older and having to deal with responsibilities while in love. Then I read the caption and I thought it would be a pleasant surprise to see something about a single mother, since this is not the kind of storie that it's portraited is most medias...It's so sad I was actually wrong.
The drama is ok, the ost is awesome (It has Jannabi in it so that's obvious) and the relationships between the characters are cute and all, but in the end I got myself anxiously waiting more for the resolution of the mistery behind the book author then the romance itself. I must confess, I got a little upset that she doesn't look like she's a mother AT ALL except when she's having a hard time and she reminds herself she has bills to pay. Through 16 episodes Dan I has ONE talk with her daughter and when the girl is finally brought up in the last episode is just to say "oh, we can talk about it later". I think I'd be a little more inclined to give the highest scores to this drama if she was just a divorced woman, not a mother who doesn't seem to care about her daughter at all and just think about her now and then, putting her on a boarding school so she wouldn't have to deal with the girl.
It's a cute romance and the acting is nice and all, for those who always loved books like myself is really interesting to see they working in a publisher and I think is quite accurate all the problems that appear there, but in the end I think the story got quite stuck and could've been better developed. I think 12 episodes would've been enough in this drama, or 16 but if they actually cared about the challenges of being a single mother. It's good to watch if you don't have anything better to do, but I don't think I would rewatch it anywhere soon.
8/10

It was lovely
This was like opening then closing a good book that made me feel warm inside. After a few false starts I finally watched all of it. Admittedly I skipped the parts involving the newbie employee couple and the main romance didn't pack as much of a punch. I didn't completely buy that Da-ni had finally fallen for Eun-ho, more like the he (or the writer) forced them to be a thing. I liked the second lead in this - I thought he was sexier - and he really needs a lead, I would like to see him a noona romance. I mostly liked it because of Da-ni's journey, Seo Yeong-wa's heartbreaking broken down marriage (she needs a lead, she stand out in the dramas I've seen her in), even the director's sad story with her ex-fiance, those were the most compelling stories to me. Lee Jong-suk didn't do much for me apart from a few lines here and there. He nails being goofy as always but I always feel like he's reading a script for his longer scenes, especially the ones where he's giving some romantic speech (see it shouldn't even feel like a speech). However, the crying scene was well done. I still think his best acting was in While You Were Sleeping, he hasn't topped what he did there yet in my opinionEsta resenha foi útil para você?
This Kdrama is for those who love Books, and Office Relationships(Be it platonic or romantic)
I started watching this Drama for Lee Jong Suk but ended up staying not only for his character but also for the rest of the characters who are all so amazing and well written.I am gonna miss this kdrama and every single character in this story. It's one of those stories that make you feel all those emotions in life and stays true to life as well.
One of the best part of this drama are the books and the love the characters and every single person who is behind this drama shows to the books and how much they impact people's lives.
The relationships are some of the best I have seen in Kdramas.
A Feel Good Kdrama that will make me smile as I remember it or rewatch it.
The ML is not a Knight in Shining Armour but a support to the FL like our family and close friends are to us in real life. He doesn't solve her problems for her but is there for her and tries to help her the best he can. I truly love that about their relationship.
Though there is a little love triangle it's nothing that will give second lead syndrome or make us feel bad for the 2nd FL. It's so well written.
My favourite is Hae Rin but every single character has depth and have their own stories that will be heartbreaking at times but will definitely make us laugh and smile with them.
Just give this Kdrama a shot if you love Books, Relationships, Practicality, stories which are Realistic and stories with Office characters and how their lives intertwine with other people and each other.

This is a really nice slice of life drama. I am in my late 30s and found Kang Dan Yi's character very relatable. This drama is a breath of fresh air with great characters. I love stories with realistic characters and these are all. No insane over manipulative 3rd wheels. I actually really like the 3rd wheels a lot in the drama. I truly like pretty much all the characters.
The music is nice and pleasant. The story was never slow. I feel most people will enjoy this drama. All the main and minor plots have nice closure at the end.
I don't see myself re watching but it was definitely enjoyable.

Book lovers show
Lovely, happy, bubbly show about the struggles of a woman trying to get back to work after a career break. It's also beautifully poetic.All the characters are good people at heart, doing the best they can in their lives. They are respectful and supportive that you can't really fault them. Life is hard. But from Lee Na-young's character we know we can be Walking on Sunshine with just a little bit of hope.
Lee Jong-suk is charming as ever as the male lead but male lead is actually a supporting character and he supports her without reservations, even when she marries/dates someone else, never imposing or possessive. The second male lead is also similarly respectful. Such healthy relationships are rarely portrayed in media.
Regardless of the title and my emphasis on the male characters, romance is only a component of the story. Much of it is around how judgemental and daunting it can be when your skills are considered obsolete in a fast-moving world.

At times, I did wonder how Kang Dan Ee's character did not realize that Cha Eun Ho has been in love with her for so long. But then again, she has been characterized as someone who is a little oblivious. It is such a heartwarming drama! The OST comprises of some great tracks, that are full of feels. I wish we'd get a second season of this drama. Meanwhile, I would surely re-watch it again.

I watched this drama on Netflix finally after having it on my to watchlist for a month or so. Let me tell you, I have not cried and cheered so much at a drama in a while, but this one made me cry and cheer so much! On Netflix, the subtitles say Dan-i but on here it says Dan Yi so I'll just follow the MDL name. I can understand why some people have problems with this drama for how her daughter is sidelined and forgotten about for a majority of the show or maybe how Dan Yi treats Eun Ho/how Eun Ho treats Dan Yi at times with their bickering/physical teasing/not taking each other seriously (??? if you watched the show you know what I'm talking about), but the plot and just overall feeling of the drama just won me over. I felt so warm and with friends in the publication office its set in and just felt for Dan Yi so much. I rooted for her the entire time and when she lost or felt dejected I felt as if I had lost or just needed to cry with/for her! So with those low lows also came high highs with Eun Ho and Dan Yi's relationship and how they loved each other and cared for each other. Also, let me just say I loved every single character in this drama and how realistic they were! They seemed like real people with real problems who dealt with them realistically. I really felt Dan Yi's struggle for a job because I'm a soon to graduate university student. I love books and just connected with every single touching book metaphor and got //so// sad when they went to the shredding warehouse for books! I didn't know those existed/forgot they existed. This has got to be one of my favorite couples and I'll definitely watch this on days where I feel sad/down. Definitely recommend. Esta resenha foi útil para você?
I've experienced the life of a single mother and this drama truly shone a light on how it is to be a single mother looking for a job after career break to look after her child.
The chemistry of main actors is amazing. Dan-i and Eun-ho are portrayed wonderfully. I really enjoyed the dorkiness and subtle romance . Same with the other characters.
Overall really happy I gave this drama a go.

boring.
i loved how it started, but it kind of got a bit monotonous in the middle. i loved the second leads ~ they had a much more interesting story arc than the main leads. i skipped a lot of scenes because of the banality, but having said that - i think lee jong suk was really good in this role. i would love to see more of him in the future. it would be an added bonus if you love to read ( i do), for others it might get a bit incomprehensible to understand the subtle undertones on the love for books. even though the show is miss-able imo, but the first 2/3 episodes are worth trying. if you don't like them, then sorry to tell you but it won't be getting any better.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

I love Lee Jong-suk and saw several series he starred in. For this series, he is a successful editor who has been in love with his childhood bestfriend Lee Na-young. This is the first time I saw her act.In this series, it was mentioned that Na-young will be older (as per the series, gap of 5 years). But I feel she looks a tad way too old for Jong-suk. I mean, she is pretty and great actress but that’s my opinion only :). The series will revolve partly on how Na-young got married and stop working. But since she got divorced and has a kid to support to, she needs to find a job. But the thing is, since she didn’t work for quite sometime, she found it difficult to go back. I’m not really sure if this is the reality in South Korea. If it is, then it such a sad thing. This is a first time for me to encounter such a plot. So, I find it very interesting.
And since they are adult, I find it quite cute how they act as a couple. I’m not against second lead syndrome or having other characters shine in a series but for this one, hhhmm so far, there wayyy ttoooo many love stories going on. I mean, the funny “relationship” between Park Hoon and Oh Ji-yool is fine but I feel they are focusing too much on it. Anyway, they made-up for it by giving several cute, funny, lovely anddddd most of all kissing scenes between Jong-suk and Na-young.
In terms of the places they shoot the series, everything were lovely so far even the soundtrack which I have downloaded already. I will update my review once I’m done watching it. But so far, it’s very highly recommended!

The story is interesting and coherent. The cast is hilarious and completely loveble. I simply adore the gap age going on. Its love based on friendship! I couldnt be happier with the characters choice. I dont know how it is gonna end but I hope it keeps as fantastic as it is until the end!
Also, I havent found it yet, but the soundtrack is absolutely fantastic. I love every single song that plays in it (to be honest I think until now there are only 3 o 4 songs, but they are catchy and they work just fine with the story).
I give it a 10 and I recommend everyone to watch it!
