I finished watching this drama and I am writing my own thoughts and feelings. I might be wrong so please bare with me.
The story line was OK-ish. It did touched an important issues and that is of women returning to work after a break into their careers, also it touched the hardship women face as single, divorced mothers so the idea was ok. Not the best of the best but not the worst idea for a drama either. Now if I get into the characters, the opinion is changing. The ML and the FL unfortunately didn't work for me not even a little bit. I felt a disconnection between them. It showed the age gap between them and I'm not talking about the way they look, because they are both good looking. I don't know if this was because there is a big gap between them in real life as well, but at times I felt the FL was holding back and I'm talking about the kissing scenes. There was this one time when he went for a kiss and he open his lips to go for a more romantic kiss and she just stood there like a wood poll. That made the whole scene awkward. The way the ML was looking at her it was just ............ I can't even find the right words to describe it because it was just too much. I understand he was looking at her with love, but that was not the look I was expecting. He was too in love with her and I don't think she was that in love with him or she didn't show it. I found myself many times ready to throw up when I was watching scenes between the ML and FL just like when you eat something sweet and is way too sweet. I got tired of the scenes where the main characters were in it and I wanted to just skip through those scenes. That is not good for a drama or a movie for that matter, when you want to skip through the scene with the main characters. I found my self liking Ji Seo Joon more and the other characters as well. I felt the ML was arrogant at times, full of himself, he acted some times like he was the center of the earth or that the whole world is gravitating around him or at least it should. I did like the friendships that were forming, even though I found a bit exaggerated the relationship between co-workers just because it's very rare in real life to have that much fun at work, or to have everybody be that close at work or to have so many things accepted at work like in this drama. I should stop here because is not gonna get any better. This is a drama that I would say this about it: if you can't find any good drama, then watch this one and if you find a good drama while watching this one, than drop this drama because there is not a big loss.
