However, the further in I got the more I seemed to like it. The acting didn't make me cringe, and the music really set the theme.
I would've set the story as a 10/10 if there had been more of a conclusion right before the ending (you'll get what I mean when you watch).
All in all, I really liked this drama but it was more of a one time one watch sort of thing.

Funny and ehmm... odd
What happens when 3 very different women just happen to run away from their lives, att the exact same time and place? Well of course they help each other out and build a new family?This little shoe may not have the greatest quality or for that matter greatest script but it is pretty funny to see how fast misunderstanding can accumulate and lead to a whole lot of mess as well the true value of shoes.
From a man not letting his wife put or running shoes, to the woman running away in heels. We see that heals may not be the easiest to run in but are a better weapon than slippers. The relationship between these 3 women is just adorable to watch and is great contrast to the men's way of understanding and communicating.
All in all definitely worth being watched, just mind the quality.

Three females escape their reality for a brief time...and find new family members!
I really enjoyed this drama it wasn't overly complicated and had funny moments;it was a cute movie about three females escaping their reality for a brief time period...if the scriptwriters could keep the momentum going, this would make a great drama series as well!This movie also shows that 'family' is not always blood..
The grave misunderstanding just made the story so hilarious yet emotional; the sad part is that Chairman Yoon (Jo Young-Jin) was so out of touch with his daughter that he allowed the situation to become so bad to begin with...men should understand that birthdays, anniversaries et al, are important to ladies.
I love the chemistry between all the actresses; the dram part, the comedy, the underlying lesson, the friendships that developed, the understanding that the men acquired after the women ran away, in effect EVERYTHING!
This is heartwarming film with its unexpected twists and turns, while being quite funny as well! The screenwriters more than earned their salaries putting together this movie!
The main cast acted as if they were actually quite good together, and it reminded me of how real women I know act when they get together and have a girls' night out. The support cast also did an excellent job and more than supported the main story presented by the interaction of the three main female cast.
Soo Ji (Seo Yea Ji), Kim Yeo Jin (Jang Hee Jin) and Hyung Ja (Park Hae Mi) all have various reasons for running away; two of them their home lief an the third, Yeo-Jin, is escaping a tyrannical and abusive boss.
They all are victims of men who don't appreciate their individual talents and they are all being forced into situations which they detest.
On different platforms, there was talk about the female playing Soo-JI (Seo Yea Ji) being in her mid-20s,playing a high school student; All you have to do with a good-looking female is change her hairstyle, clothes and makeup.... and through 'acting' older or younger she can pass herself off for a wide range of 'age' in a movie.
That is how a female actress can play any certain character for a motion picture which requires the main or support actress to BECOME a younger or older person to fit into her role (showing the passage of time in a movie or drama), especially if the director/script requires it.
Also, 20-25 year olds portray "teenagers" in American soap operas (A 'soap opera' or 'soap' for short is a radio or television serial dealing especially with domestic situations and frequently characterized by melodrama, ensemble casts, and sentimentality. The term "soap opera" originated from radio dramas originally being sponsored by soap manufacturers in the early days of American radio] The term was preceded by “Horse opera”.)
Asian "dramas" are basically Eastern 'soap operas' themselves.
The story of this short movie was really nice. From 3 different strangers turned into family and best friends. Worth it to watch.
The music was just right and the cinematography was all-around perfect. I also like the way that the men working for the Chairman used the public security cameras to trace the women; however, I felt it was cold and inappropriate the use of a tracer on Hyung Ja's phone. I don't believe that spouses should ever do that!
This movie reminds me of the problem that developed in "The Closet" (2020) where the father Sang Won had a problem relating to his daughter Si Na after his wife died unexpectedly, or "Eat Drink Man Woman" (1994) where Chef Chu couldn't relate with his daughters after his wife died as well. In all these films, the characters did not really realize how important a person (their wives) were until they were gone!
I deducted 0.5 points overall only due to the corny over-acting of Chairman Yoon in his last scene; he could have said teh same thing in only half the time the director gave him to say what he said!
RE-WATCH VALUE: Definitely!
