I do not watch many ongoing shows and this one reminded me why once again. It was such a pain to wait one whole week for new episodes, thank god it's a short series. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this show and I'm sad that it's ending so soon.

First things first, as I said in a comment earlier, I'm actually someone who does not enjoy romance dramas a lot. I need a little more to the story in terms of mystery/suspense/business/friendship or just anything that would not make it just plain old romance. But these days, the South Korean entertainment scene has changed so much that there aren't really many plain old good romance dramas that this feels like such a fresh breath of air and it did not let me down in terms of the story, characters, acting or the music as well.

What I love about this show is that it broke all those usual tropes and I'm all for it. No toxic female friendship considering they share a love interest. I actually love this fresh take on the friendship between the women where they are so so supportive, so amazing. And not just them, but friendship in general. They have portrayed such a beautiful and supportive friendship between the three of them (even five, in a way) and it has been so pleasant to watch. The second trope they break is communication. The characters communicate with one another. Whether it be between parents, or between friends or lovers, they talk to each other. Sure, they might take some time, but they communicate without fear of the response. So happy to see so many healthy relationships in this drama. Third, until now, although the ML's mother does not support their relationship (for maybe selfish reasons), you do not see her causing harm to the FL. So, she does not come across as an evil villain. Fourth, the perfect balance between flashbacks and reality. They do not delve into the flashbacks so much that it becomes boring. One of the rare shows where I did not fast forward even once.

I quite like how they have a coherent story without loose ends and I'm really enjoying the great acting by this bunch of people. It's my first time seeing some of them and it's been very nice. I really like the cute chemistry between both the couples on the show. I also enjoy some comic moments a lot, it does not have unnecessary angst or melodrama - something I was expecting going into it tbh. Maybe that has something to do with the limited episode format.

I'm at crossroads with whether I like the length of the show or not. While it is perfect in the sense that had they increased the episode count, it might have lost some of its positives and maybe indulged in tropes, but I enjoyed their story so much that I just can't help wanting more.

It's a very happy, interesting and beautiful watch. Quite easygoing as well. Would definitely recommend this to my friends! :)
