Heartwarming Tale of family, friendship and life

This may sound like a normal run-of-the-mill soap drama but I got hooked from epoisodes 2-5 progressively because it clearly wasn't. And I found myself sucked into the drama and binged watched over 3 days as I was enjoying it more and more. There are fair amount of plot twists which weaves into the gradual development between the ML and FL from opposing camp to friends(more from the FL's side). It was entertaining to see how the FL slowly shifts her loyalty to the restaurant whom she was supposed to bring down, with the support and instigation of her 3 childhood friends. Sadly, everyone puts in a decent effort in acting and grows, even the side characters (even Bo A's grandfather!) some of which I have to mention would be ML's ex gf, his mother, his brother,EXCEPT the ML who appears stone-faced throughout episodes 1 to 12 the finale. Maybe we can blame it on the script but I just want to call out the characters who grow the most, that is, Mi-Na, Bo A's best friend who turned from a cold, materialistic and callous realtor to a kind and sensitive soul when she pities Andrew Kang's and helped him renovate his place out of her free will. And even more noteworthy is trundere Michelin chef Andrew Kang who grew from a hot-tempered and cold disillusioned bum to a another sensitive and grateful soul. When he started dropping off packed lunch to Mi-Na everyday, I was smiling like an idiot. It wasn't too explicit, but do I smell love in the air for them? This is another case of 2nd male lead syndrome I have where Andrew Kang came into the picture from Ep2 onwards but it was after a closer look that i recognised him as one of the permanent cast members of Beat Coin 홍김동전(Hong Kim Dong Jeon ) and understood where his comedic talent came from. He weaves effortlessly between providing comic relief as well as tsundere mentor to the ML , which makes him such a delight to watch and it is a waste of his talent to be cast in support roles. Hope he will get Lead roles in future. This is really a drama which will make you cry and laugh at the same time. Do give it a try. It's only 12 episodes. Won't regret it.
