'Realistic, tells that different people have different perspectives about life'

This drama might feel meaningless drama for some people but if you are an adult and see it from our real life perspective then this would be little fun but if you want another drama with full of cheesy dialogues and beautiful dates scenes then no this is not that kind of series. I think this is different from other dramas and represents how different people have different perspectives about life, what hardships partners face in marriage. I would say it is too realistic just like in real life some relationships end with unsaid and unresolved things, just like people sulk in real and don't communicate well or aren't able to express till the end, this series shows same things.
Yes This drama has definitely comedy, adult jokes, romance but still I feel writers could make it more better by giving more details to cases and it could be better if protagonists had atleast communicate their misunderstandings I mean yes it is hard for some people to say what is in their head afterall i am one of them but when the other person created that environment already and asking you directly then its not right to keep things inside and talk in Circles, if one do so then they need to grow as a person.
Now if we talk about leads then female lead is ambitious and family oriented and i would say immature of her age but I'm glad that we witnessed her progess in last episodes while male lead don't understand or like the concept of marriage and thinks marriage is not for him, also don't want to have kids(I felt he is my alter ego , I relate with him the most), he is also flawed character and I'm glad that writers didn't make him believe in marriage or wanting to have kids in the last episodes but this belief is something that changes with time and not overnight or because of some incident. Then We have second main leads where second female lead is feminist and second male lead was conservative or we can say man having patriarchal mindset. I didn't understand their love story or maybe because i wasn't interested much as i didn't want them to end up together because as a person i am highly against such pairs where there are so much thinking differences and the change in second male lead felt unrealistic and i saw no chemistry between them. I didn't understand how bichwi fall in love with him.
this drama shows that Even if we love a person, don't want to breakup or stay away from eachother and miss or despise eachother everyday...regardless of all these things we have to take tough decisions and have to choose our own ways.
Here both leads have different perspectives about life, their personality is different, both of them want to live their life in completely opposite way and in such situation love is not enough. Partners must be good at communicating their feelings, should be able to show their vulnerable sides, should accept eachother flaws and one can't keep themselves priority always you have to be considerate about your partner too,their likes dislikes preference also matters. Here we witnessed how only one person was going through most of the things like doing all the house chores, not getting alone time, not getting proper sleep because other person can't see what you prefer but then it was because he never speak it up and kept on sulking.
I wanted them not to end up together till ep 10 because of their different perspective towards life but still low-key i was hoping them to date again. it somewhere hurts to see them going their own ways but that's how our life is. It's good actually that they didn't end up together otherwise the whole series would have become meaningless... Afterall that's what the series is about, "from lovers to strangers again".
