This drama is a depiction of the "Catch 30 Passage" or the Age 30 transition, set in modern day Korea (2007)this Romance comedy (slice of Life) deals with the struggles of single men and women leaving the early adulthood period.
When two childhood friends decided to move in together because of some circumstances they find themselves in journey of discovering new emotions while dealing with their own problems along the way. It shows how regrets, disappointments, accomplishments about love and life are faced on a daily basis. The story has it's own pacing, not too fast neither too slow, it develops in a very realistic manner and time frame.
The characters were well selected, representing different people in the age of 30 or so, chemistry towards the characters were very commendable, the way they represent frustrations and happiness was good. Props and costumes were also realistic and fit to the characters in terms of age and the fashion styles during that year. Even the set design was good enough, the houses and locations selected for shooting had the atmosphere fit for the setting. Background music reminds you of the 90's in some way, the beat and melody of the songs focused on easy listening genre. Tempo was not too upbeat nor too slow.
All in all I think this is an underrated drama, I was moved to think about what will the 30 year old me be like? It was very heart warming in a natural sense. A drama that you will feel cozy with even if the you're not at that age group yet (more so if you are). I rarely like dramas with adult characters but this is a highly recommended one.
I hope you get to appreciate this it was a really nice experience watching it :)
It makes you want to have at least one lifelong friend :)
