Both comforting and realistic

Although the story started in a really cliché way that reminded me of Christmas Hallmark movies (FL goes into a small town, hates it there but then she meets the ML who shows her the true meaning of Christmas... er I mean life, you get it), it quickly turned out to be something much more.

I liked how the relationship between the leads developed and despite the fact that there were two of my absolutely-not-favourite tropes (leads meeting as children & love triangle), the drama didn't focus on them so much for it to be annoying. Yes, the two leads met or almost met at multiple points in their lives but they focused mostly on the present. The love triangle was done so well and all the three leads have a great chemistry together, I liked how none of the MLs was a jerk and how they communicated well with each other.

The side characters in this drama were to die for! I really couldn't choose a favourite even if I had to. They were realistic, diverse, and mostly had their own ups and downs that got me completely immersed in their stories. I also liked how we were shown the lives of people of different ages, especially the three elderly ladies, I loved their friendship!

I rate this drama 9/10, if you're wondering whether to watch it or not, definitely go for it! It's more perfect for watching an episode a day/a few days rather than binge-watching though.
