Good cozy feel of 90s. Watch it if you like these kind of shows. worth it

What i liked

The whole 90s vibe and the whole community of antique restoration department and their relationship. They are not nosy but very caring and involved with each others family. The alley with the houses has such a good feel to the over all feel of the show.
There were some scenes which felt as if its dragging but its very small part of the drama.
i know actress is much older than what she played but it didnt bother me she didnt look that old .I felt actress in go ahead felt much older in high school years than FL here.

What could be better
Although i have liked the actress who played FL even in other shows like AOL , here sometimes acting was over the top.Could have toned it down a bit and sometimes when she just stares with her big eyes it doesnt bring out her emotions . Even with that i liked the FL character. She is childish, innocent , has a dream of her own and emotionally mature when dealing with people . She kept telling her friend how to deal with people . She didnt figure out ML liked her for long but that could be attributed to their relationship since childhood.
ML is as usual( as in case with most dramas) perfect except when he suddenly decided to be noble (this trope is a must in all dramas isnt it. ) but even then there was a good arc of him figuring out what he wants in life.
Loved almost all side characters specially their friends circle.

What i hated :
Some very childish scenes of FL . not everytime but there are couple of them
FL realising she wants to come back after something really bad happened to her. it just gives out wrong message that if you go to foreign country you will end up being like that (specially for a girl) . She could have realised without all that fiasco of getting duped etc.

If you ignore these i think its still good watch and i would rewatch this show now and then
