The promising premise of a struggling single mother defying the social norms to raise her child is something I look forward to see how the drama unfolds. Although Episode 1 is fast paced with romantic moments, it couldn't salvage the rest of the drama from its perdition. Episode 2 onwards showed how Cha Ki Young (Park Shi Yeon) decided to become a single mother - she persevered, albeit Park Tae Yeon (No Min Woo) and Jo Eun Chan (Bae Soo Bin) intefered her decision. However, the drama goes downhill quickly the moment she gave birth to Cha Dan - she's no longer the confident women I hoped she'll be and the drama turned into a makjang drama. With a jealous female second lead Hyeon Myung Yi (Uhm Hyeon Keon), disapproving and traditional Park Tae Yeon's parents, a scheming male news anchor (Jo Eun Cha) and the most logical flaw of Park Tae Yeon WTF rebellious, douchebag and inconsistent behaviors; that's the Best Wedding/ The Greatest Marriage recipe for you. A complete waste of Park Shi Yeon (Cha Ki Young), Bae Soo Bin (Jo Eun Cha) and No Min Woo (Park Tae Yeon) talents.
In the bleakness of this drama, Jo Eun Cha (Bae Soo Bin) portrayed his comedic character excellently - deviate from his usual portrayal of characters in Secret, 49 days and Shining Inheritance. The side stories of other couples like (Na Yeon Hee, Choi Il Jung and Kim Jun Yeong) and (Park Seun Nyeo and Pedro) have gave this drama the break it need from all the craziness that's happening.

The premise is simple on the surface - what if you could change the past, including your sad past? This crime thriller - indirectly time travel drama definitely surpassed similar drama in terms of its storyline, directing and acting. The story has more than meets the eye; how the past has more intricate connections than I could ever imagine - like peeling layers of an onion. Cha Soo Hyun (Kim Hye Soo) portrayed her character seamlessly; going back and forth between her past and future character. Lee Jae Han (Jo Jin Woong) turned the drama into a quite emotional journey as the story progressed. Get ready for a box of tissue, you are going to cry and rooting for Detective Lee Jae Han. Park Hae Young (Lee Jae Hoon) can be over dramatic sometimes - but it's minor. The classical and nostalgic OSTs are gems - hard to forget. After all, can a Misaeng production team gone wrong?

This food/ comedy/ mystery drama simple yet refreshing premise is revolved around a daily life of 30s years old single, divorced and unfriendly Lee Soo Kyung (Lee Soo Kyung) who shared same apartment floor with quirky neighbors and worked at a small law firm. She has an eating obsession, and that's how she formed bonds with Goo Dae Young (Yoo Dae Joon), Yoon Jin Yi (Yoon So Hee), Kim Hak Moon (Shim Hyung Tak) and other characters. The quirky Goo Dae Young is full of unexpected surprises and will make you hysterically laugh - from his charmingly way with women, to constant bickering about who's better in food department with Lee Soo Kyung. The comedic trio of the law firm Kim Hak Moon (Shim Hyung Tak), Oh Do Yeon (Lee Do Yeon), Choi Kyung Shik (Jang Won Yeong) propelled this drama to a new level of comedic relief. Get ready to love not only the law firm's trio but all the supporting characters.
This drama is not without its flaws, of course. The romance between main leads lacking chemistry and a bit rushing towards the end. The mystery of a serial attacker has served little purpose in developing the story. The mystery plot could be written better. Not to mention, bunch of PPLs might slightly ruined the drama.
