SYNOPSIS

Choi Sang Eun, who is lovely, gifted, and kind, epitomizes the ideal companion. Being an epitome of a perfect bride, she decides to use her abilities to help other unmarried people to escape commitment and their families from nagging to get married.  The plot thickens when she is caught off guard by an unexpected romance with two of her clients, Jung Ji Ho and Kang Hae Jin.

Jung Ji Ho has been a regular customer for five years, employing Sang Eun's services every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Sang Eun knows very little about Ji Ho, a man wrapped in a mystery. She finds herself amused by whatever feelings she has for Ji Ho but it goes awry when she starts feeling the same for Hae Jin. 

Hae Jin is a well-known actor who works on with her Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and he frequently makes Sang Eun's heart flutter. 

Sang Eun finds herself in an unanticipated bind, torn between her professional responsibilities and the affection she holds for both Ji Ho and Hae Jin.

REVIEW

After the mediocre show Forecasting Love and Weather, I was looking forward to Park Min Young's next drama as this was not that good either. This drama had the potential to shoot high with new concepts and an amusing plot.  The first few episodes are really good as compared to later ones. Common Kdrama tropes are being used, and love triangles. As the drama progresses Sang Eun's past is indulged, and drama follows with her mother's interference. 

The show also entails an uncommon plot of an LGBTQ character Gwang Nam's life in finding love and coming out to his parents. This story could have been explored better but is left with a happy ending trope.  Overall, it is a feel-good drama and is binge-worthy. Swoon-worthy moments and second-lead syndrome may come along the way as you progress through the episodes.

REASONS TO WATCH

  • Must watch if you are a fan of love triangles and a fan of the stars.  
  • Feel good slow-burn romance.
  • Wonderful and Fun loving characters.
