Everything in this drama is relatable- especially if you’re in your twenties, a working adult trying to survive on your own in this world.

The basic plot of working, trying to climb the corporate ladder to earn more money, get a higher position, buying a house, getting married etc.. it’s all included in this storyline. BUT.. the pace of how it’s unfolding is SO SLOWWWW ;) Could have probably finished the story in just 10 episodes. I’ve been watching the whole thing at 1.5x speed ;):)

There’s the office politics, workplace discrimination, society standings discrimination, family background discrimination, education discrimination.. and the list goes on. It’s really sad if this is all true in Korean culture. One of the side characters broke up with his ex of 4 years, to marry someone of his “social standing” and immediately had an affair w his ex because he just couldn’t get over her. Why marry in the first place?

The chemistry and intensity in the leads relationship is very evident though, and I like it. Very very slow burn, but we get a really good kiss scene at the end of Ep 10 ;) At this point, I’m wondering why don’t they just get together already?? Whatever was stopping them before doesn’t seem that important now. Both leads decided to start relationships with other ppl, but it turns out those were not working out either! It’s interesting because this main relationship is not your typical fall-in-love story, but rather is them cheating on their respective partners (although for me I don’t find it cheating really. )

Let’s see how the story unfolds. I sincerely hope they have a happy ending :)

Update: just completed this. The last 4 episodes were terrible. It was a drag and painful to just complete it. What started off as 7.5 has now dropped to a 6. I wouldn’t recommend this drama. Too complicated and a waste of time
