Story: This series is very character-driven and I liked that almost every character had an arc and a development. The series ending left me satisfied and yet wanting more. (thankfully there was season 2) Watching this drama felt as though I know these characters in real life. (although in real life I don't have such friends, which is a good thing I guess?) I could relate to the trials and joys of these characters who are about the same age as me, even though my life experiences are no where as dramatic as theirs. (spoiler alert? but it isn't too dramatic vs other k-dramas)

Acting: Perfect. All of them were best characters, even the supporting cast.

Music: The opening theme makes you look forward to watching their lives unfold. The other songs were pretty solid as well, it supported the different moods/scenes. I especially love 'on your collarbone' by jordan klassen. (I generally like acoustic-ish songs haha)

Rewatch value: As the ending credits roll with the opening song, I really felt like I wanted to rewatch the series or thought that it wasn't the last episode. Did I forget to mention that this series has a lot of life lessons/teachable moments? (lol that sounded serious) Besides that, there are hilarious moments in this drama, making this a very rewatchable series :) There are clips in YouTube to rewatch if you are lazy like me haha

Conclusion: I really don't have much to critique... maybe it might seem a bit slow-paced/less melodramatic? But so is life...?

TLDR: I think the main message of this series is that navigating this messy thing called adulthood, which brings about maturing/romance/heartbreaks/accepting oneself, doesn't have to be a huge burden when you have a close group of friends, not necessarily sharing same interests/hobbies/personalities.
