The Maze of Adulthood & The Importance of Friends
"If you stay in one place for too long, you can get lost too."
So, to start off, this is not a light drama. It deals with domestic violence, toxic relationships, sexual harassment, and suicidal tendencies. Definitely be cautious if you're sensitive to these sort of things.
The story deals with the in and out daily lives of five girls who live together, all with varying ages, and all who have a hidden secret. It's essentially a coming of age story that deals with the growing pains of becoming an adult, and all the things others don't tell you about life. It was an up and down journey, one full of the worries of life, secret problems, tears, and laughter. And I felt it all along with the character's in the story. The back stories behind all the character's could have ultimately been a little bit more fleshed out, but at twelve episodes they did a fantastic job of of pacing the storyline. It didn't need any fillers as there's a lot to keep track of with the different lives. This is food for the mind, and not really a pure entertainment drama for sure. Along with all the problems they portray, they really did well indicating the importance of the people you surround yourself with. Life is tough, but it get's easier and more enjoyable when you have people to fall back on. There is seriousness here, but also the joys of friendship.
The acting was really good, and very believable. I thought only one actress was a little lacking, but I think that might just have been the shallow-ish character she was portraying. There were so many emotions in this, and all of them were evoking. I enjoyed the acting along with the copious amounts of lessons in this. The music was nice. Though it was nothing too groundbreaking, they definitely set the moods well.
All in all, an enjoyable drama that was a roller-coaster of emotions, and one I would recommend. It's not a fun filler drama though, and should be approached with an open mind.
