The best parts of the show were the growth arcs of the leading characters and the journey of the lead from a failed idol career to finding a new passion. The relationships between characters was focussed on throughout the show including Han Soo-yeon's relationships with her parents who expected her to make a career in singing, her roommate, sunbaes, mentor Cha Jung-hyeok and strong bond of friendship with Kang Do-jin. It also tried to bring out the freshness and resilience of youth such as her roommate's mukbang, the fresh ideas the maknaes gave at work, and going as far as showing how a couple of 25 year olds help the mentor set up a new shop.
The weakest part was the romance. They had a good mentor-mentee relationship and the leads did not have any romantic chemistry. The villain's attitudes and actions were ridiculous, and it was disturbing to see the second lead actress continue to stay on good terms with her abusive ex-husband. The boss Cha Jung-hyeok was written as childish and gullible. It was odd when they brought in other issues such as body image, sexuality, and fashion which was not needed.
Kim Bo-ra and Lee Tae-hwan put in good performances, as did many of the side characters. The drama is a one-time watch for me.
