Heartwarming, yet missing something...

I really liked this kdrama! I loved the main theme of friendship between three women at the age of 39. Chan-Young being a terminally ill character was heartbreaking to watch, but nevertheless showed the deep bond the three women shared. I loved each of their romantic storylines too, all three of the male characters were great in their own way. My favorite couple was Joo-Hee and Hyun-Joon! I really wish we had seen more of their story, and quite frankly more of Joo-Hee. The only aspect of this kdrama that I wish had been approached in a different way was the character of Joo-Hee. We focused way too much on Mi-Joo's character throughout the entire thing and her feelings about Chan-Young. Even Chan-Young wasn't given enough space in the story. And when she was, we were solely focused on the friendship between Mi-Joo and Chan-Young, and I felt bad for Joo-hee always being the one left out of the know. Also, it seemed like Mi-Joo and Chan-Young had a much stronger friendship with each other than either of them did with Joo-Hee, which I wish had been the opposite. If there are three friends in the story, then there should have been a balance among the three. I really liked Joo-Hee's character and really wish I had seen more of her. Apart, from that, the kdrama overall was fun to watch, it made me laugh and cry, and all the supporting characters were loveable!
