would recommend for a cute romance watch with amazing actors, but not for the most clean story!

i really enjoyed this drama!

it was an extremely easy watch for me, as i felt it had no dull moments. i really enjoyed the vibe between the ML and FL, the first few episodes getting introduced to their dynamic were GOLD and got me hooked right away. the humor in this show was super enjoyable and altogether i enjoyed how there was never any strong misunderstandings between the two leads. they seemed to communicate most problems really well!

it was also SOOOOO enjoyable to see their childhood/teen years, it really spoke to how well they knew each other and how perfect they are together. this show also had a good time with family dynamics, which is always something that i look forward too in my dramas (even if it got a bit messy at times).

however, i agree with a lot of the consensus that there was kinda just way too many plot lines that did not get completed, which really dulled down the drama for me. for example, i feel as though they didn't need both the overworked worker abroad worker storyline and the cancer storyline, especially since it felt they didn't do much with either when going to the end. it really felt like these were problems for a few episodes, and got brought up very minimally towards the later epsiodes.

i also kinda HATED the second lead couple... they started off cute enough (??) but then they kinda just went elsewhere. i felt they did a really bad job with the whole single-parent plotline and made the SFL sound really inconsiderate and pushy. like... why are you offering to tell this man's daughter that you're her new mother instead of him? it was really not enjoyable at most parts.

also kinda felt like the second lead couple was barely connected to our main leads, like we highkey saw the ML's employees more than them interacting together.

still, i really enjoyed this drama and found it to be a super cute watch altogether. the ML and FL actors are literally to DIE for, obsessed with them both (this def redeems my girl So-Min from Because This Is My First Life). would def watch more dramas with them both, as their chemistry was beautiful.
