Realistic and non-cringey

As someone who prefers realistic and non-cringey romance series, this drama certainly meet my expectations and I have to say that it is by far one of the best drama about friendship and romance that I have watched this year!

The drama is adapted from a novel and it talks about six characters, three close friends, their life, friendship and romance encounters.

For once, I like the fact that the female lead is not dumb despite being clumsy at times, she has her own career as a librarian, enjoys reading and have passion for writing which led her to writing novels. I also like how the male lead talk about how it is good that the female lead is doing something she enjoys for a living instead of a career that the society perceive to be successful or good. This is so relatable for myself and I believe it is relatable for many others out there too that are very affected by people's perception of what we should be doing.

The friendship between the female lead and her two friends is really simple and genuine, they are what friends should be which reminds me of my close friends as well, just being there to support and accompany you for a drink, hearing you rant and giving you advice when you need it.

The romance between the three couples are quite realistic and relatable. The main couple actually met at the school they work in and subsequently bump into each other outside and also when he became her dentist. I like how they did not fall in love with each other at first sight but started falling in love slowly after hanging out together, realizing each other's similarities in interests and personalities and then opening each other up. Although they brought in the guy that the female lead has once liked before but the guy is very understanding of her and his best friend falling in love with each other despite his own feelings for the female lead. It is a love triangle that ended with understanding that if you love someone, you should let them go and feel happy that they met someone they love. This is the epitome of friendship and romance to me. The second couple in the drama left a very deep impression on me as they are at very different stage of their life and it really broke the stereotype on age gap and guy earning lesser than the girl which I really appreciate as it is very realistic. The third couple in the drama is the one I like the most as the girl had a lot of disappointment in guys that she dated and just when she started slowing down in her pursuit for a relationship, her good friend or ex-boyfriend came back into her life as a potential boyfriend. It is always realistic to end up with someone whom have known you for a long time and whom you were friends with first. And, love comes knocking when you are not desperately looking for it.

Besides the plot, I like the cinematography of this drama as every episode starts with a very nice scenery, be it in the university, the lake or the skiing resort and more.

This drama is certainly recommended to people who would like to watch a light-hearted drama and seek some meaningful life advice in your 20s!
