there was a trend this year for almost all the dramas I watched: a lot of potential, lost. and sadly start up was also the case.
production was amazing, it was beautifully filmed and only made me want to visit seoul even more now but half the scenes could have been cut short, a lot silence, a bunch of unnecessary dialogue and moments where characters weren't moving the plot forward made it feel like I watched a 40 episode drama instead of 16.

I wasn't really interested in the romance or love triangle, never had a problem to choose between the two male leads because there was literally no chemistry between Ji Pyeong and Dal Mi and the romance between Dal Mi and Do San did not pull me in, even so it was obvious they should end up together. I was more interested in everyone individual growth, career wise because it's basically the only character development we had.
the Grandma, In Jae and Ji Pyeong were the best characters and I wish In Jae spent more time with her family and not only the miserable 4 minutes they gave us on ep 16. But she was a badass all around and i'd die for her.

one thing I did enjoy was the diversity of female characters from all ages and backgrounds I wish we could have seen more of that. Also the OST was really good.

Saha and Chul san were cute.

overall I wish this drama was more that what it was, I wish I was excited about it and I wished I cared about the characters but mostly I was just skipping fillers to get to the "good moments" and the potential it had was lost trying to drag us into an unnecessary love triangle.

I don't have much to say about this one tbh.
