Like a warm cozy blanket in winter

I found the drama comforting at a point where almost anything else I watched kept stressing me out. It was easy to watch as there were no pointless misunderstandings or cringey cliches. The story also did not wander away from the theme and had a consistent plot. So, it's not the typical ROM com. I was reminded of be melodramatic for some reason.

This is a gem for book and poetry lovers. The sheer number of beautiful prose and poetry is amazing. The age gap between the leads were also handled properly. I just wished the daughter had some more contribution to the story.

Unlike most other kdramas, I ended up loving the second leads. They are Soo cute. Almost everyone in this story is a green flag, a bit unrealistic but really satisfying.

Finally, the cuteness and comfort of the main leads and their cozy winter wardrobe is the best part of the drama. The chemistry is unbeatable. This has become one of my favorites yet.

One of the most progressive kdrama. No cringe at all. Great Chemistry. One of the best!

The main reason this has become one of my favorite show is because it did not trigger my anxiety with unnecessary misunderstandings and cringe moments like almost every other kdrama does at least a few times. Another reason is the progressive tone. I absolutely love the whole story, the old villain lady and all the female characters. The overall tone reminded me a bit of Be Melodramatic.

The main couples relationship hit a bit close to my heart. I am really curious on how they will overcome their differences as the issue they have been in my mind a lot too. The second couple is very nice. The third couple who are near the end of their marriage but maybe in the starting of a good relationship is a breath of fresh air and extremely intriguing. I also like the lack of annoying love triangles which are becoming unavoidable in kdramas.

Another plus is the cinematography. It reminded me sometimes of Goblin. The positioning of the faces of characters appear in the frames and the ways the zoom dynamically changed were interesting.

cute, healing and heartwarming

Just finished watching thirty but seventeen. I found it really cute, healing and heartwarming. The final episodes were a bit heavy though.

I really liked the confession. Soo short, sweet and satisfying.

Many people did not like the acting of ML. But I found it sweet and very fitting for someone who has not really matured from late teens. The FL is perfect for this role. Her acting is like always really good.

The only thing I had a problem with is the sheer number of coincidences. But again, it's a kdrama thing.

Another plus was the chemistry and dynamics of the whole extended family. Also the second and third MLs were not really annoying.

I loved itaewon class for the revenge, romance, healing and the ost.

It was really satisfying revenge, like marry my husband. I have seen a lot of hate in the main couple and the SML. Many wanted Saeroyi to end up with Soo Ah. My thoughts:

1. Soo Ah, Yi Seo, Saeroyi

Soo Ah never deserved Saeroyi. It's admirable she was an independent person and made a life for herself. It was not easy to change her way like how she did in the end. She is the most miserable character in the drama. But what she did to Seroyi was a massive. A massively worse version of using the other person like how Yi Seo did to Guen Won and Saeroyi to Yi Seon. But what made it worse was that she is not an immature kid and knew all along the extend of what she was doing, all on the excuse that Saeroyi will not be hut no matter what she did.

When Soo Ah used Saeroyi to justify her life, Yi Seo honestly wanted royi to be happy. In a way yi Seo and royi bet their lives in each other. They might have trouble being in a relationship, but for me they are perfect for each other.

What she did at the end was too little too late.

2) Geun Won

Usually I hate the SML and the love triangle in most series. But I did not hate Geun Won as a SML, but only as a misguided and irritating antagonist in the later episodes.

3) The ending

It is understandable that some did not like how the tone of the show changed from beginning to end. But it felt really natural to me. Especially the goosebumps raising 2 kneeling scenes. The last episode was absolutely perfect. Also the scene when the chairman was eating the tofu stew in the pub.

All in all, it was an inspiring, heartwarming and satisfying drama for me!

It's really nice and cute!

I dropped it in the second last episode because the way they treated coming out of the closet. Till then it was perfect. Maybe I am just overreacting and they are immature kids. But I lost the urge to watch the remaining 2 episodes. Till 10 it was just perfect. So I want to only remember till then. The chemistry is too cute to handle sometimes! I wish there were more shows with such great pairings.

Edit: I watched the rest and loved it. I still feel the coming out part should have been dealt better, at least by the adults. The relationship issues they had were extremely relatable. I really like the conclusions of all of the relationships.
