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
