I've heard about this drama being entertaining, but for some reason the picture on the details page next to the blurb always threw me off (it looked like an oldies advertisement haha). What finally convinced me was a funny trailer/clip that made the drama looked thoroughly entertaining. And it was!
I really enjoyed this drama, but it did have its imperfections. The only real imperfect worth mentioning is that I do not think there was a good balance of screen time for all the characters. While I know that the divorced MC and her childhood classmate are the true MC's, it felt like all 4 best friends were supposed to be unveiled throughout the story equally, but they weren't. The divorced female MC and the best friend whose marriage is a bit rocky I feel like get the most screen time where we get to really understand where each character is coming from.
Unfortunately, the other 2 best friends (the model best friend and the best friend who is always single) do not get sufficient screen time compared to their 2 best friends. The reason I say this is because the model friend and the single best friend feel very superficial - we don't really learn anything to their histories/in-depth interactions with their significant others to really get anything other than shallow stereotypes. This wasn't too distracting as I was not too terribly interested in the chronically single best friend, but I did find myself curious about *how* things were able to turn out the way they did for the model friend with her significant other.
The imbalance of screen time wasn't anything that ruined the drama, just something I think could have made the story stronger on all ends for a more well-rounded drama.
I'd recommend this drama to someone who would like to watch a romantic comedy with some touching/serious moments sprinkled in. The balance on genres was good, so when things do get more serious they don't get overly dramatic because something comedic always pulled up the tone.
I probably won't rewatch this drama as a whole and instead, I'll rewatch some funny clips or watch some music videos for this drama.
