Cozy slice of life drama with beautiful friendships and wonderful aromantic representation
I absolutely loved watching this drama. It is so cozy to watch, even with the occasional tension when the characters are going through difficult times.
What I really liked is how this drama dismantels stereotypical ideas of what a romantic relationship should look like and how its often presumed that one will prioritize a romantic relationship over a platonic one. This drama shows how the main (and side) characters feel uncomfortabe by these ideas and how they communicate with each other to live in a way that is comfortable for them.
I love the way one character is aromantic and the other is not, and that the character who is aromantic brings it up multiple times at moments where it makes a lot of sense for her to mention it. Sometimes to explain why she doesn't understand something, other times to give advice based on what she sees from a more neutral perspective on romance.
I highly recommend this drama if you want to watch something that feels like a hug, whilst also making you think about how you yourself might choose to live your life regardless of what stereotypes say you as a man/woman/person should want.
