You can feel the butterflies

A true romantic drama with lots of heart melting scenes, beautiful, long kisses, realistic behaviour and circumstances.
There is no love triangles, dumb misunderstandings or cinderella bul$#@^. It is REAL, possible and adequate.

Amazing acting and perfect music, nicely synchronized! You can’t help but smile with the actors, get angry with the actors, hate, blame, resent…

There are 3 parallel topics to explore:
1. The romance is about falling in love with someone you knew forever but just like the butterflies happens to reveal a side you never imagined seeing. There is a relatively big ( about 10 years) age gap (younger man with older women) but it doesn’t feel awkward. The cast is more than perfect! They look good together and the chemistry is REAL!!! You can feel the butterflies in your stomach when they try to touch their hands!
I wasn’t able to binge it! It was so sweet, like being in candy shop.. You can’t eat all candies at once and in same time you don’t want to, you want to keep some for later.

2. The Workplace abuse (sexual harassment) is the side plot. Very down-to-earth and realistically portrayed. There is not a valiant exactly, just the issue exploration. If you have worked in a corporate place, and happen to have some sort of workplace abuse, I bet you have seen it unfolding pretty much that way.

3. The nasty parent…. well, I happen to live with such mother in law already 20 years… it is not over exaggerated !

NOW, the ending! I read many reviews hating the ending and I was very anxious about it. For 16 episodes I was preparing myself to get disappointed…. NOPE !!
I have NO idea what kind of ending those negative reviewers were expecting, but the ends is just as beautiful as the love they had. I am only complaining it being short. I would have preferred to see them happy for just a little bit longer.

Overal: Loved it!
