Unrealistic and nothing like the trailer, Cha Mijo getting all the screen time
I started watching this drama because of the way it was shown in the trailer, about 3 friends experience life before turning 40 but from what I'm seeing so far, it nothing like the trailer.First, 8 episodes so far all i see is Cha Mijo and her boyfriend getting all the screentime, i don't know maybe because she is more famous in real life than the rest of the squad, always
Cha Mijo trying to solve her friend's problems, she is everywhere in every problem of the show, at this point she looks like the main lead than the three who were shown at first as the main leads. And why would the doctor talk to her about the friend's illness instead of talking direct to the person who is sick. Her relationship with Seon Woo was interesting in first episode but it has become boring now, she is always worrying about something whilst the guy is trying his best to make her happy. Cha Mijo has 99 problems, her family, her boyfriend's family problems, her mental health issues, her mother in prison, her adoptive parents, everything on one person, that's why she get 99% of the screentime compared to her fellow leads.
What's more annoying is that, Cha Mijo's side characters get more screentime than Jo hee who is also a main lead.
Second we have Jeong Chan Young's sickness, which has been the entire topic of the show all along, nothing new. Her relationship with Kim Jin Seok is nothing realistic at all, like what was the writer thinking.
Third, many can agree that Jo hee and the chef are more interesting and guess what, they get less screen time, their relationship and how they're getting to know each other is more interesting and realistic than the other two but we get less than 10 or 15 minutes of their screen time the entire episode. I watch this show to see Jo hee and the Chef, they have more character development.
Edit: The ending like we all expected, ep 12 was better because it was more of Chan Young's sickness than Mi-jo. Away from that, i hate how they couldn't continue to develop Jo-hee and the chef's relationship, it was so fast paced, we don't even know who proposed first, how they started dating, I'm upset because i was so invested in their relationship than any other relationship in this drama.

Typical kdrama
This drama felt like a typical kdrama, like boys over flowers, a rich guy who is quiet, harsh ,girls follow him and scream when they see him and he is the top of the class, falls in love with a girl who is considered ugly. Like we have seen such male leads in many dramas starting from playful kiss, boys over flowers. Nothing really interesting to make you bingewatch it. I only finished because it was weekly episodes.The best part of this drama are the second leads and the supporting actors , they had more story development than the leads .

Leads have no story development and the show is boring
First people are saying about the age gap, I have no problem with the age gap, Park Min Young is my least favourite FL to be honest, first time I watched her was in Whgat's wrong with Secretary Kim and that was my last, I didn't like her character, because of the way people praise her, I tried to give her a chance and yet I'm disappointed again. have no problem with Song Kang's characters. Coming to the drama, it's boring, especially when it comes to the secong Leads, they are really trying to make viewers hate them and that's making them boring on screen, no story development whatsoever. If they wanted to add Seconds Leads they should have just given them a normal story than a cheating story which doesn't make sense at all, after cheating then you go back to ask for advice from you ex. About weather and romance, I didn't see any romance at all.Assistant director UM stayed away from his wife for a decade and still the only time he had to make up for his daughter on her birthday,he decides to disappoint her, was it even necessary to turn back to the office.
Si Woo's was the worst, but cancer came through and he got redemption, second chance from the son after abusing him all his life, Director Jin was wrong for pushing him to forgive the father.

Well known story but really beautiful and amazing cast
If you want a short beautiful rom com, then this is the one. At first you get the similar vibe kdrama story, rich cold male lead but after watching you will realise that he is not cold like other rich male leads, he is really soft on the inside and not mean at all. The female lead was to my liking, friendly and strong, she is really good and played her role well. The second leads are amazing and they have realistic relationship. One thing i loved about the show was that they didn't drag love triangles for too long.Summary, its worth it, just watch it.
