I’ve been watching K-Dramas for 6 or 7 years now, and this is now one of my favorites. Despite college and work, I flew through it in 4 days. Slight spoiler, I could have done without the criminal/thriller plot line. There was enough internal tension between characters and external tension from Korean societal norms to keep the show interesting.
Anyway (iykyk), I just absolutely adored the dynamics in this show. Hae-e and her friends, the Nam family and Yeong-ju, later including Chi Yeol, and Chi Yeol’s teaching assistants. Every duo of characters had such a well-thought relationship, whether familial, platonic, romantic, a complex, or a combination. Really heartwarming to see chosen family and healthy relationships.
