How difficult is to find happiness if you follow society expectations.
This drama is focused in an ambitions woman, and is all about society expectations. If you expect a drama fast paced, or a drama all about love then don't watch it.I consider this drama created, produced and focused mostly in adults that try to make their way into society but about being happy, and when I talk about adults I mean 21+ because of the story.
Yes this drama is a feminist and is about a woman, but is not only about her, let me explain:
1. Here we have the guys that just finished college and want to get a stable job, but then if you do that you'll have to decide between your own happiness or financial stability, and believe me you'll relate!
The anxiety that comes in the last years of college and the so many existencial questions: what are you gonna do with your life? Are you disappointing your parents? Are you gonna live poor? Are you gonna be unhappy just in order to live? Are you following your dreams? Are you actually living????? (We've all lived that phase and is hell).
However, not all is hell in that time, if you've your friends and they support you, if you get a good boss, if you are able to actually talk to your parents and if they listen to you, then, the outcome is magical, and that is why I loved the relationships in this drama, the friendship, the portrayal of family.
2. We also have the parents and I love how we got the characters development. We all need friends, and even if you are an old grumpy woman you'll get that friend that is able to get you out of your comfort zone. I adore the relationship between the old women, the moms of the main characters, they were so different yet they got along so well and helped each other to get a better point of view in life. (I didn't like them all the time but loved them at the end)
3. Family is... complicated, specially your in laws. Are you supposed to follow what they say just because you are married? Are you supposed to forget about yourself just because your husband? Or just because you are a woman? This drama is not only about the problem and is also about the solution and if you love someone, they will understand.
4. Society sucks, yes, it sucks, but is because of the traditional way of thinking, the hypocrisy, the judgement towards the different, and prejudice. However, is up to you. Do you wanna play along with what they say or do you wanna be a rebel? Keep in mind that what they say hurts and is just as complicated as humans and relationships.
5. But, what I truly love about this drama is that they teach you how you can actually do things right. Being a rebel is not just about who yells better, or a pacifoc protest. Is actually about changing the other person and the way they think. Is about proving your value in the most appropriate way so the others will notice who you truly are and what you can do.
6. And FINALLY... the older woman/younger man relationship. You will love the leads, the woman is an ambitious woman. But contrary to many didn't forget about her dreams in order to get to the too, yes, she loves astronomy but she is too ambitious for that. What she really wanted was a luxurious life that she got on her own by being in the top of her field. And I love her.
She could get a rich man but she didn't. She could be a trophy wife but she didn't. She could get simple life but no, she wanted to be in the top without the help of others, not owing anything and always following her values of honesty and respect.
And the ML, he was lovely, a young man, too caring, too good for this world but he wasn't silly. He is smart and he knows what he wants, he won't lose himself for stability, he cares about others but he won't sugar coat or sacrifice himself for that. He knows he is good looking, well spoken and knows what to do with how charming he is.
All in all, if you don't care about slow paced dramas and if you like women of power, this is for you.

There is no good or wrong here
I never write reviews but I had to.This drama was amazing, I was looking for something fresh to watch and I'm glad I found this gem. This drama was: sweet, short and not ridiculous at all. Let me tell you why:
As someone who is on her 20s and have had to break up a long ass 8 years relationship too, I know how does it feel to break up with someone who was not just your partner but also best friend, and I think the way they portrayed the old relationship was not just relatable but also beautiful.
I don't hate Chan Hee at all since he left her behind to pursuit his dreams, he placed himself as a priority, yes, that's selfish but understandable and someone might relate to that. We all do at some point, however, you cannot pretend to come and go from someone else's life just like that, if you said to break up just let her go, man.
Yoon Soo on the other hand was different, he liked her from the beginning - aka reason why they had sex just hours after they've met- however, hiding the truth and lying was wrong. His revenge wasn't silly, he had to overcome gossip and bullying because of Chan Hee, and that's horrible, so his hate was very well grounded. Nevertheless, revenge is never a good answer and since their chemistry was amazing, man you were done from the very first episode.
Finally, In Young, honestly, even I, myself, will try to find a partner if in that way I can get a house, with the economical situation as it is in our world that doesn't sound crazy at all. She was a really well constructed character, not annoying at all, just a woman on her 20s with her pride broken tolerating gossip and an annoying society that was judging her, she was looking for financial stability and one on her 20s can relate to that. Also, she managed gossip in a good way.
Her friend, Hye Go, was for me a bit crazy, sometimes creepy and annoying. Okay, i can understand teenagers falling in and out of love with handsome males all the time at first sight, but a grown woman? come on or maybe it was just me. However, at the very end we get a more mature Hye Go with a lovely relationship and that's awesome.
One more item to keep in mind: Illustrations, as someone who loves drawing this was a plus, I loved each drawing at the end.
I adore this drama, seriously and I will rewatch it for sure.

What is cheating?
The chemistry was there from the very first time and so...First thing I want to talk about is that the answer to my initial question is very difficult:
This is a question I've had for a while as I was watching this drama and reading the discussions about it.
We can discuss it through the whole drama because over here, the FL was in a monogamous 4 years long relationship with the Second ML, they are having problems, many issues as there is no more passion between them the 2ML takes her for granted and so she communicates him that their relationship is not right, therefore she doesn't feel like marrying him.
Then she meets the ML, a sweet handsome man that is a single father, the type of man that has no time to lose into relationships. He is so confident and that makes him so attractive, but that is because he has to, life and his son taught him how to be strong and overcome everything that might come to ruin his family.
The problem between the leads is that they like each other from the beginning and they try to stop the clear chemistry plus connection they have. They also try to stop themselves due to moral, ethics and society but it seems that life is in the way. So they decide to become friends and of course feelings start to surface the FL tells the 2ML that they have to break up.
I really like the fact that they break up not because of the ML, but because of the issues they have had during their relationship. Also, the FL tried to give herself a time before she jumped into another relationship.
It seems like there is no cheating unless an emotional connection is actually consider cheating. As I said before, we can discuss it, but the FL said it a couple times "I cheated" "I'm a bitch" and is self aware of the fact that her feelings have changed in her previous relationship so they might change later on.
The second I want to highlight is the relatable characters and story:
I like the fact that in this drama they don't try to portray innocent people that cannot break a thing. There are real adults with moral issues, problems, consequences and ego.
I love the relationship between the three sisters and their mom, females bonding, protecting each other like real family. Even if each one of them have very different point of views in society, their love is there to protect and help one another.
The 2ML was really annoying by how obsessed he was with the FL, just because of status and ego he was willing to do anything just to go back to his ex and get her. Sadly this is something that actually happens in real life, many times you don't love someone you just live how they boost your ego and how they give you status in society.
I love how they speak volumes about our patriarchal society and how hypocritical law is when we talk about about domestic violence, is very relevant to educate people properly in these topics.
The ML's friends are amazing, they are honest and kind, supportive and each one have a story to tell.
The third main thing is:
Acting, the main actors had an amazing chemistry that made me feel all fluff any time I saw them together, I was wishing to have something like that.
The fourth thing:
Scenery and music: Jesus I looooove it. I'm gonna download every single song is played over here. That's all.
Also, the title makes sense at the end because of the scenery, is so romantic I can't.
Finally, I recommend this drama for people that like strong healthy love relationships but are not judgemental, if you are into slice of life, healing, type of drama, this is for you.

This is an erotic movie, it is basically porn but they won't show genitals.
*sighs, here goes my comment:Good things:
-The actors are hot, I've to say they are really good looking, so I enjoyed the view.
I don't mind women with plastic surgery. I've to say the FL is hot, really hot, her body is absolutely gorgeous, I think it has the perfect thickness in the correct places, her legs and hips are to die for. Her waist and breast were fantastic.
The ML is also super pretty, at that time he portrayed a 19 years old boy, so I think it was just perfect, his body was not too big, not too small, exercised in the perfect amount with a really nice face.
The second ML was super handsome, really sexy. A jerk but I liked him.
-The chemistry between them was good, I like the scenes in which they had sex without rushing, I think that was the main point. I liked the way they portrayed the relationship, she was the hot FL that will sleep with whoever she wants, career focused, yet still silly because of her previous dramatic relationship. Talented but needing inspiration.
-The story itself is pretty simple, they met in an elevator, she looked at a guy that was cute and he seemed aroused by her and the scene, she liked him. He saw a hot woman, he wanted to get her.
-Interesting, realistic character, the boy: He is 19, his hormones are crazy but he has way too little experience with woman (I liked the fact that they didn't make him the super innocent guy, they said he had actually experienced touching women before is just that he didn't get to the point itself), he rushes to get females always so he is not able to make them orgasm and he has to learn. (sadly many males are like that and I think this is the reason why I liked this movie, men are always in a rush to get sex, so they don't dedicate the correct amount of time to kiss, to touch, to contemplate a woman's body. That is what the FL was trying to teach him.)
-A bit of a plain character, the FL: She is in her 30s, she is experienced and has a good libido so she is not caught in the moral question about if she should date or not a 19 years old. She feels attracted, she feels curious by him, she wants to teach him and so she does.
-The art, the boy is an amazing artist.
The so-so, meh, bad things:
-It was al fun and sex but there was a point in which feelings are mixed, she gets jealous and confused, she fucks her ex, the boy caught them in middle of the act. He feels betrayed, he left. The boy misses her, she needs him for inspo, they get back together but then she understands that what she is doing is not appropriate, that she has many issues, that she doesn't know what is love and that she is playing with the boys feelings, basically she is fucked up, so she leaves.
The bad:
-I absolutely hated the music, it should be better, they were supposed to be composers so I've no idea why they didn't invest in good songs.
-They missed the opportunity for a good ending, I mean, I like the fact that they are not together at the end because it is realistic, but the 'cheating'? or she getting back to her ex? that was unnecessary, they should portray a bit more of society's criticism or her fucked up trauma and mind, maybe with those elements the ending was a bit more interesting.
All in all, if this is a good or a bad movie is up to you.

Silly to watch but it's okay for a sunday
If you have nothing to do and you just want to watch something silly that won't make you think and it is a bit cringy , then give it a try.This is similar to latin american soap operas, the story line is about an extremely cute girl whose family doesn't value, similar to cinderella, she is sweet, gentle, innocent and the servant of everyone. She lives in a patriarcal family and has no self steem, on the contrary she just wants to get money, study and somehow dissapear.
The ML is a 38 years old man who has his own bussiness and is the heir of a rich family, he is a gentleman and curiously is not a red flag, he helps the girl and has this sense of responsibility towards her. He falls in love first (i've no idea how), and she follows him because guess what?... he is the only one that can save her.
Sadly, her family sucks and she has the worst of lucks, you will be always waiting for she to fall down, be kicked or kidnapped.
All in all is not long, you can watch it in two hours and it has a sweet ending.

Daddy long legs actually, that's the real title
Do you want to watch it but you are not sure because of the bad rating and reviews? Read this. I'll try to make as little spoilers as I can.I've watched this drama 4 times already, and I finally forced myself to write this review.
This drama is about a forbidden love, in consequence the story and characters are difficult to watch for some people. I'll explain it in a very simple way:
-The main lead fell in love with an amazing woman but she passed away in an accident, he blames himself and actually we can say it was his fault (sorry, I do think so c: ). As time passes by, in a way of healing and some how to clean himself from his guilt, he establishes a daddy long legs relationship with his ex's little sister, he is basically her sponsor. -If you are into grow men in their early 30s you will love how good looking and good actor this man is -
-The main girl, is a very common girl, she is kind but has strong opinions and sometimes she is blunt. She has no one to rely on after her sister passed away, she doesn't even has the talent her sister had once. Without anything special, one can believe that she is the type of person you'll forget as soon as you meet, she is literally an ordinary girl. But there is something, maybe is the fact that she is depressed yet keeps going, maybe is that she works hard in anything she can so she can survive, literally survival instinct, maybe is that she is not afraid to ask for help and is not as innocent as it looks, maybe is her long hair and big eyes, or maybe is her bad luck. Who knows? Destiny and her dead sister lead her to meet the ML and then you get the title of this drama, it can be explained because of the ML, he is the one that finds her sweet and interesting. The one who helps and stays by her side.
-The second lead, in my very honest opinion I found him arrogant and childish in the beginning. He likes the main girl but he is too childish to notice it and he thinks she has fallen for him, which was really awkward for me. All in all, she just sees him as a friend, that's all, nothing else. As the story develops, he grows, he becomes confident and gentleman. Is nice to see him become a better man, but he won't be able to be her partner, so, you, as a viewer might develop a second lead syndrome. -If you like guys that look cute in their early 20s this is for you-
Keeping all of this in mind, is understandable that the FL needs someone strong and reliable by her side, she cannot keep living on her own as a young adult and needs help, she is not afraid to ask for it and that is something sweet to watch. Adulting is difficult and sometimes you can't understand what or how to do it, so, it is very nice to see the FL accepting help and saying: "I can't do this anymore". You might say she is still grieving and depressed, many people can relate to this.
However, she tries to work hard to stand up again, with some help she can do it, her friends are also very supportive, I've to say they are amazing, a young couple living together without getting married, in S.Korea?! that is new in a drama. Veryyyy, veryyy new, I loved this couple tbh.
The music, this component for me was awesome, I still have their soundtrack and listen to it pretty often, I LOVE IT.
Some people say the actors had little chemistry but I don't think so, the age gap works perfectly and I myself have watched interviews and bts cuts, I've to say they are very interesting together and somehow their dynamic of "I tease you now"
"you tease me later" is pretty catchy to watch. Plus, they are both so good looking.

Yes, the main couple is cute but I fell for the second
This drama was so cheesy that sometimes I felt a second hand embarrassment. If you want romance with no one to meddle in, this is for you. Over here everything is so likable from the beauty of the leads, passing by the second leads that steal the show to the scenery.Let's start by praising the story: very simple, warm and gentle. I love how easy to follow it was, the characters were super likable, there was no crazy love triangle, not crazy second leads and very nice in laws. Maybe the only issue here, like in real life itself, is our own insecurities when it comes to love and dreams. Here are the number of things I loved from this drama:
1. Talking about those insecurities, I think the leads portrayed it very well. Even if you are someone in your 30s, professional and with a very good life, you can have it. We are not perfect, we are all humans and I really liked how this is shown in Liang Chen's life. She had an amazing career but not at all as she wanted to and she was always afraid of hurting people next to her. Her love story with Lu Jing was so simple that it was there from the very beginning, never broke up, never had a fight, everything was so easy to deal with because, that is a healthy relationship! learnt it!
2. Lu Jing, was an amazing character, that's how you get an older woman to like you. He was mature for his age, caring, gentle, sweet, respectful but not silly, he was not naive at all and very had tons of passion. I loved how he understood very quickly when he had make a mistake and how he tried to fix it. I adore how he was never manipulated and very smart in handling situations, I've to say we all want a partner like that. And man he knew how to sweet talk everything and how to kiss, amazing. Honestly? everything about him was confidence, he knew he could get it and he got it. That's how everything worked in life for him.
3. Jia Yun was a very sad character here, to talk about loneliness and success... He wasn't assertive enough to get the woman he liked, he was afraid because he knew she will reject him, she had never liked him back and he already knew it. However, he was a good second lead, respectful and a very nice friend.
One of my favorite scenes was when FL compares them, she knows Lu Jing will leave everything to love her but Jia Yun, as a grown man was more focused in his career and will love her but not with the same passion he loves his success, anyone next to him will be only a small part of his life. And that's the reason why she decides not to date him. After all Jia Yun was a very successful man and can get anything he wants but his career is first for him, which is not bad, he was an amazing actor.
4. If you like the first couple with their easy love story, prepare yourself for the second because that thing will show you how persistence actually work.
I love the second couple, I adore them and they were my favorite. I will tell you why:
At first I didn't like Shan Shan, that girl was beautiful but too cold for me to like. I couldn't understand her attitude but then after her story develops and they explain why she is like that... she is my favorite now. Even if they didn't say it, you can tell that girl had depression, depression for years and many will say: it is just a break up, he is a jerk get over it.
But if you ever got your heart broken you can understand her. Her ex stole her time, her love and her music, he made her feel so stup*d and small that she was barely able to do a thing in order to survive. I'm sure she was the most talented out of the group of friends, but she got stuck in that feeling of being small, being nothing, nada, that that's how she was living.
Add to it how she isolated herself, and more than isolation, everyone gave up on her. Do not blame FL or anyone else, but I truly feel sorry for how lonely she was, that is the demonstration that if you do not want to be helped no one can help you
However! crazy puppy Sun Bin Yun appears, out of nowhere, he remembers her, he never forgot her, he admires her because he knows how talented she was back then! and he is the only one that remembers how amazing she is, enough to respect her and help her shine again.
Sun Bin Yun is like that ray of sunshine that never gives up, he is the one that helps her continue with music, with life, that helps her laugh again, have friends and remember how to live. It is so beautiful how for the very first time after years she laughs and it is because of him. But that puppy is to shy and can help her, take care of her and do anything for her except... confess his feelings. And I really like how she takes that step into romance for the sake of both of the,.
She composes, she makes music and she starts living again.
The only thing I don't like about this drama was that, they deserved more time in the screen, I deserve to watch fluffly love scenes between Shan Shan and Bin Yun, please.
All in all, I like it, I love it, I enjoyed it.
Plus: I don't dare to say this drama was a slice of life, because it is not very common to fall in love with your idol in real life. However, we've all dreamed about it at some point, so it was very sweet to see this in a more down to earth drama.

Breathtaking and healing, everything is deeper than it seems
Do you like slow paced dramas about healing? This is for you.First thing you need to know is that you gotta pay attention to everything in this drama because some times you might think nothing is happening but each action leads to something important in the plot, that's what I like it. You won't get useless scenes. Over here each actor, each character is extremely important.
Second thing, the scenery is so beautiful, they got the time to show you the colors, the way the wind blows, the flowers, the coffee, everything, and if you don't care about spending 1 whole minute just looking at a yard, you will love this. I swear everything is so beautiful.
Third, mental health. Okay, they don't speak volumes about it but they are showing you important aspects of anxiety and depression mostly, even functional depression is all the time over here in this drama. They even say it openly a few times and I think that is wonderful, they talk about how a touch can help, how speaking can work, how medicine and therapy is always there and you just have to reach out. After all, this is a healing drama so pain and grief are the main topics here.
Fourth, the characters:
The ML is sweet, gentle, but he is deeper than that, he smiles the brightest but has the deepest pain. He had learn how to survive each day with a question inside just in order to get that answer and he got it, at the end.
The FL gave up many times on living. She is hurt and she shows it, she is charming but not too much, she is kind but wants to die most of the time. I hated here some briefly times because she is a bit nosy but is just fine at the end.
The second leads, the married couple, Jesus they are the most complex characters and I just adore the way in the beginning they were not stealing the show but after some time you get to know that they were everywhere and all of it is connected. Is very nice that they will tell you their own story and even their own love as time passes by, is deeper that is seems.
The supporting characters also have their own story and in the drama they got the time to dig and show you what happened to each of them. Which I love wonders.
Fifth, the music: I want to download every single song that is played here, that's all.
And finally just for you to understand:
In this world, which is just you normal regular world, exist a type of technology created for healing people throught voice, that's it, that's the drama. Tons of people have lost a person that might have just disappeared, or someone that passed away, this device contains the voice of that person and with the help of their memories, it can also get the personality reaction from that someone and so talking to them you can get your own help and healing process.

Adults being a mess or a realistic portrait of humans and relationships
I totally recommend this drama for people on their 20s or 30s, why? because you might find it not just inspirational but also relatable.This is a story about three friends in their 30s, portraying the difficulties and insecurities that women might have at that time specially being successful women in a realistic society. Let's be honest, society likes successful career women? Nah. They like women that are confident and sexual? Nah. Women that do not wanna marry? Nah. Divorcees? Nah. Single women? No :)
The female leads:
One of the friends is a gorgeous divorcee that doesn't believe in love and just sleeps around with younger men, I love her a lot. Also a super young mom.
Another is a married woman that apparently has the perfect relationship, nothing farther from the truth, to the point that her mental health was so damaged. I wanted to slap her most of the time but at the end she was amazing, the very end though.
And finally the FL, a lovely women with the perfect life, great job, nice relationship with her father, amazing boyfriend, beauty and successful, independent, peeeeerfect. However, ought to the fact that she is a workaholic she ended up failing at love, is not her fault tho!
The first women got cheated on, the second was submissive in an open relationship that ended up messing her mental health, and all of this why? because those men were awful and didn't like women with successful career or independent women, and society, specially families were putting a lot of preassure on them.
Now the male leads:
Some of them are just awful, you will hate them. Not gonna talk about it, too bad our society have these type of men.
But I adored the others, one of the female leads son, was lovely.
The ML was too lovely, this is weird in a drama, he was literally so sweet and gentle, a bit naive but not too much, understandable, respectful and caring. He was never pushy towards the FL and always helpful, supporting her.
The other ML was amazing, your typical Casanova but also wise and respectful, I adored him. He was always there for the ML, sincere and honest, giving advice and caring, maybe too honest for his own well being.
The main relationship was healthy, most of the relationships here were shitty, don't worry all characters develop nicely but the main one was amazing. They got time to get to know each other, they were caring and always trying to help the other, they were not selfish and had good communication, except for few moments but this is a drama so... you gotta have drama. However, everything is solved nicely.
The number of episodes were perfect, some dramas are too long that get draggy but here you will watch it nicely, not skipping parts, and at the end you will feel like: hell I can do that, I can be an Iron lady.
Lmao to my own joke, don't hate me.
