Great Slice of Life - if you like "Fight My Way" you will likely like this

9.5/10 is my rating This is a 2017 South Korean slice of life romantic drama series with 16, 60 minute episodes.

Synopsis
Choi Kang-soo (Go Kyung-pyo) vowed to find the woman who abandoned him and his father and to become powerful enough to protect those around him. He has been a food deliveryman in most neighborhoods in Seoul in his quest to develop the skills and connections to start his own delivery service all the while seeking his mother. Lee Dan-ah (Chae Soo-bin) is a take no prisoners delivery driver who is earning money for the sole purpose of emigrating elsewhere. She wants out of Korea convinced it is the root of all her problems. Oh Jin-kyu (Kim Seon-ho) is the middle son of a Chaebol family and has always been told he was a loser so he set out to prove them right. That is until he encountered Dan-ah who has no patience for self pity. Lee Ji-yoon (Ko Won-hee) is the daughter of a CEO and her goal is to lead her own life not dictated by her family's wealth. These four young people are forever changed and enriched by their encounters with each other. Love and friendship develop in the course of their daily lives.

Review

I really love slice of life dramas. I feel like I get to lean some things about aspects of the culture. In this case it was food deliver and being a delivery person. It reminded me a lot of another drama I like a lot "Fight My Way" where the characters struggle with making a living in jobs that don't pay much beyond necessities. I loved Chae Soo-bin in "I am Not a Robot" and had I known she was in it would have watched this a lot sooner. Like most Korean dramas the title and summaries really do not do it credit. There is a villian, bromances, secrets in the past, and all the elements that make these compelling. The 2nd couples romance was well paced, believable and very heart warming. And there was even a third and forth couple although their stories were much more in the background. The rich versus the poor was another aspect explored in this drama and there was a thread of good versus evil. It was, for me, practically perfect in every way. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes romance, slice of life or who likes these actors. It was enjoyable the whole way through.

Spoilers** I do wish it was clear in the end whether, or not, the grandmother knew he was her grandson. She was such a nice person and he was so good to her I would have liked to have known she was told he was her grandson. It was not clear whether his brother was his half brother or if his mom had been pregnant before leaving with him where he would have been his full brother. That also was not fully fleshed out. Kang-soo and Dan-ah had really started the more intimate portion of their relationship so it really felt like they just got together fully. I think that is a cultural difference in the US they would be viewed as maybe a serious dating relationship no guarantee it was headed to anything permanent. But in Korean culture it may be obvious that there relationship was permanent. I liked that Kang-soo and his mom seemed to be on better terms but that he had not completely forgiven her. So there were some really small points that could have been clarified but there were very minor detractors.
