For those not aware this is a remake of the American drama “Younger” and novel of the same name. I never saw the original but hope it’s better than this. In general is not bad but has many flaws.

The basic premise is nice and has a good message about people (especially women) who have had to return to work after a long absence. I myself have had to do it twice. But the writing is often self indulgent and suffers from kdrama logic.

I wasn’t very found of the major subplot or payoff taking away from the main. Nor did the end make sense. It was a complete reversal contrived to make the ending more acceptable. Several of the secondary romances had people falling in love without any development. It just happens.

One subplot I found really disappointing was the divorce of two support characters. I can certainly understand the reasons and even why it would never work out, but the things the ex-wife had to say were just shitty and unnecessary. As the child of parents that got divorced, and of whom they still cared for each other, it’s not at all believable. Even on my mom’s best day my father would not have rubbed his sexual relationships with others. This drama is just weird about it.

Lastly some of the “lessons” are touted with sledgehammer effect. The end of each episode it full of them. Much of them are ludicrous to anyone who’s lead even a short life. One that comes to mind is how the one thing in an unfair life is that we all have one life. And life is basically how we make it. But even the drama points this out to be naïve and simplistic. The main protagonists has all sorts of obstacles to overcome. The only reason she does is becomes the writers write it that way. Life can be very different. There may be insurmountable obstacles. The only effect we have is how we handle them.
