I enjoyed it very much ♥️

It's been a while since I encountered a drama that made me laugh and cry this much.

A lot of the dramas that are coming out lately are thrillers or action based, and although I enjoy those genres I was starting to become tired of it. It's true that this one has a bit of mystery, but it's mixed in all the drama and romance and although it's part of the plot it didn't bother me that much.

The characters are fun and likable. The protagonist, Haeyi, is presented as a character who is not in her best moment in life, always worried about money and working to support her mother and younger brother. But she never gives up, she never loses that fun and bubbly personality, and I really enjoyed that. She made me laugh out loud in almost every episode.
Jungwoo is portrayed by Bae Inhyuk and I'm glad that he's playing a main character this time. I really liked how he always had something good to say to Haeyi, and although at the begging he wasn't (they didn't know eachother), by the middle of the series he was very reasonable and understanding of the situations she was facing.
Sunho tho, it was kind of infuriating how he kept insisting that he liked the protagonist. She told him many times that she wasn't interested in him, and he even kissed her without her consent when she was drunk??? Nope.

I'm not really a fan of love triangles, especially if they're not well executed. SML should have given up on the protagonist by the middle of the drama, and Jungwoo should've had more screen time with Haeyi.

Another thing that I didn't like is that the bad guy doesn't really have a sustainable reason to dislike the main character and wanting to kill her. He wasn't even part of their team, he was only an ex-member of the group, so I don't understand his point.

Overall, I liked that this drama gave a message of courage and cheering to the audience. Never give up on your dreams, on your life. There's always someone cheering for you. Even if you can't notice them, there is someone ♥️
