A window into the world of start-ups

This kdrama was a real emotional rollercoaster. First of all, I have to say is that Han Ji Pyeong IS SUPERMAN, A GENTLEMEN AND AN INCREDIBLE CHARACTER WHO DESERVES THE WORLD! He is the first drama second male lead that I have ever fallen in love with and I WILL CONTINUE TO LOVE HIM FOREVER AND ALWAYS! Kim Seon Ho did a marvellous job at portraying this character and I cannot wait to watch his future work! The story was incredible and portrayed the hard yet rewarding journey of the characters and allowed a space for them to grow and fully develop their potential. It was a story that let us into the world of start-ups and I believe it did an incredible job at its portrayal. I enjoyed watching this drama a lot because it kept me emotionally engaged and rooting for the characters.

Beautiful Story

An incredibly beautiful drama and story. I enjoyed every single moment of this drama. I loved how it portrayed relationships and how one lives their life. Every character was unique in their own way, and I was engaged in each one of their stories, whether it was the main characters or the supporting characters. Because Eun Seop and Hae won are such raw people with raw emotions, I was able to really engage with them and come to love them. I love their relationship and love how they defined things like warmth, love and happiness. Both characters made me love Park Min Young and Seo Kang Joon even more! I loved each one of the supporting characters, as they brought a light-heartedness to the drama and added even more warmth to it. I especially loved Jang Woo, he's so cute and I think Lee Jae-Wook did an incredible job portraying him!! Myeong Yeo is another character that really made kept me engaged throughout the whole drama, as she was such an interesting character to watch because of who she had become and how she had became that person. The setting was incredible. By the end of the drama, I came to love Hodu House and the Goodnight Bookstore, both places in their own ways reflecting the people that lived in them in, and making the drama very visually appealing to watch. The warmth of the bookstore reflected the warmth in Eun Seop, and the cold feeling that Hodu House gave off, was reflected in Hae Won, and her aunt and mother. Also, the town in which this drama was set in, was an incredible bonus to it, as it very much added to the drama visually. It also added a simplicity to the it that helped us stay grounded in the story that was being told. It made me want to live in a Korean town like that someday, and experience the simple everyday life that the townsfolk got to experience and live in the tight-knit community they lived in . Everything about this drama was wonderful, it made me cry, smile and laugh. It made me feel warm and fuzzy, and gave me hope! I loved everything about it, it was like watching a work of art, one that I am very likely to watch again! <3

Heartwarming, yet missing something...

I really liked this kdrama! I loved the main theme of friendship between three women at the age of 39. Chan-Young being a terminally ill character was heartbreaking to watch, but nevertheless showed the deep bond the three women shared. I loved each of their romantic storylines too, all three of the male characters were great in their own way. My favorite couple was Joo-Hee and Hyun-Joon! I really wish we had seen more of their story, and quite frankly more of Joo-Hee. The only aspect of this kdrama that I wish had been approached in a different way was the character of Joo-Hee. We focused way too much on Mi-Joo's character throughout the entire thing and her feelings about Chan-Young. Even Chan-Young wasn't given enough space in the story. And when she was, we were solely focused on the friendship between Mi-Joo and Chan-Young, and I felt bad for Joo-hee always being the one left out of the know. Also, it seemed like Mi-Joo and Chan-Young had a much stronger friendship with each other than either of them did with Joo-Hee, which I wish had been the opposite. If there are three friends in the story, then there should have been a balance among the three. I really liked Joo-Hee's character and really wish I had seen more of her. Apart, from that, the kdrama overall was fun to watch, it made me laugh and cry, and all the supporting characters were loveable!

Something really special about this drama!!! Must watch!!

Ok, wow just finished it...I am in shock mostly. This was an incredible drama in so many ways! It was incredible from start to finish, and there were just so many moments where I was in genuine shock and literally had "jaw-drop" moments! The story, characters, and overall feel of the drama was out of this world! Every moment of the drama felt thrilling, and not once was there a slow moment or anything that felt unnecessary. Overall, I want more!! I definitely want more of Hong Cha Young and Vincenzo!!! Hong Cha Young is my queen, one of the strongest female leads I have ever seen and I want to be just like her when I grow up! I absolutely love her and adore Jeon Yeo Bin's portrayal of her! I want more of all the tenants --> all of whom I love dearly!! Omg, this kdrama was something else! I think the chemistry of the entire cast and production staff was really good and is what made the drama so freaking good! I absolutely love every single character, the good and the bad, and the actors that played them did an absolutely incredible job!! I feel like I'm still in shock, I haven't processed everything that's happened. Still, though I love this drama. A LOT. It's something special! (I need more VinCha romance and babies though!!) Also, the soundtrack of this show was *chef's kiss --> so so good!!! 'I'm Always By Your Side' by John Park is the embodiment of what a love song should be, it is an OST that deserves awards! Ahhh, I love Vincenzo so much!!

Beautifully Orchestrated

A beautifully orchestrated drama! It made me laugh and cry so much, and I enjoyed every moment of it. It started as a fun and lighthearted romantic comedy, but by the end turned into a deep story about wonderful characters and their lives. Every single character in this drama was special in their own unique way, and each one was a pleasure to watch! All the supporting characters had their own story to tell, and not once did it feel like they were taking away from the main characters or were unnecessary. I absolutely loved the adventure this drama took me on! The incorporation of music throughout the drama added that extra touch to it, that made it wonderfully magical and special.
