Personally i watched it every night before i sleep to reward myself for studying for the exams. To me this drama is just nice: not too addictive, but not too boring. So despite the fact that i am a huge drama addict, i manage to contain those emotions. But it is light-hearted, topped up with a number of humorous and witty scenes which amuse you. Definitely a good drama which made me feel alot better after all the hectic studying. The main highlight of the drama is how it can successfully incorporate humour and wit into the urban context. Period and supernatural dramas are the popular ones these days. The audience taste is getting greedier. However this drama manage to be on par with those supernatural dramas despite its urban context and the fact that its leads are not idols but actors and actresses in their 40s and 30s (other than Me Ahri and CNBlue's Jonghyun). I like the prolouges more than the actual drama though, I find them more conhesive and I like how in those few minutes, the deep friendship between the F44 and their thoughts of being in their 40s can be conveyed. Every prolouge portrays something different, and i never get bored from them! I especially like the one where Yoon’s wife pass away. Not much lines needed, but simply….. touching. It really cringes my heart. Although I have always preferred comedic scenes, this touching prologue wins hands down. I personally like Yoon and Me Ahri’s love story more than the other 3. If only more emphasis can be given to their love story, i would have enjoyed the drama alot more. I admit i got so impatient that i skipped other characters’ parts to watch Me Ahri and Yoon’s scenes. Maybe because their love story is the most interesting and the most hard-to-get one, since they have the age factor and most importantly, the 'friend vs love' problem between yoon and tae san. It is also rare for dramas to have such a unique couple, and their scenes are very fresh to me. The OSTs for this drama are not as impressive as that of Secret Garden though. The pace is not concise enough too, I almost lost interest halfway through. But this drama makes me reflect alot more than SG about the urban issues and problems we face which are very prominent in our urban lifes, which made up for the loopholes. It may not be so 'fairytale' like many supernatural dramas, but because of this very reason it is very fresh to watch. It feels good to be realistic for awhile and take a break from 'fairytales', where we see handsome and pretty leads all day which satisfy our tastes.
