Good on So Many Levels
9/10 is my rating. This is a 2016 South Korean Drama with 16 episodes (60 minutes/episode. It is also known as Happy Once Again.
The story centers around four women who are living life and trying to find happiness after their time as girl band idols in a group called "Angels." There is actually a fifth member but the girl group fell apart because of her and she has only a very small part of the story. Han Mi-mo (Jang Na-Ra) is the main female lead and she falls in love easily. She is a hopeless romantic who has been hurt many times in her search for the right one. With her best friend and former band member, Baek Da-Jung (Yoo Da-In) she runs a matchmaking service called "Brave Wedding." All of the women are in their 30s now and feeling the clock tick on their ability to find the right guy (or salvage a current relationship) and experience their happily ever after. Across the hall from Mi-mo is her former classmate who she recently reunited with, Song Su-Hyuk (Jung Kyung-ho), who is a reporter and a single father. He has an attractive doctor best friend, Goo Hae-joon (Kwon Yul) who decides to pursue Mi-mo after Song Su-Hyuk reassures him he has no romantic interest in her. Da-Jung married an older wealth man and has one child but her marriage is in jeopardy as the couple has grown apart. Go Dong-mi (Yoo In-na) was the least popular member of the group and is now a teacher who is having a hard time finding love. Hong Ae-Ran (Seo In-young) is the owner of an internet shopping mall and on the verge of getting married to someone she is not sure she loves.
Spoiler 🚨 This movie was quite different than what I expected from synopsis and reviews. I expected it to be very light and fluffy and actually it has some deep elements. It was enjoyable watching all the different stories and how they came together. It was one of the few dramas where I preferred the lead to the second guy. The friendship between the women was a central part of the story and it was enjoyable to see how they supported each other in life and love. No-one is ever more honest than a close friend. The ending was surprising - which I liked. But it ended well/happy.
