Gave it a 2nd chance after dropping it, turns out it's great & I love the 2nd couple!

the first 12 episodes are couple goals: we have a pair that is modern and playful and sexy. they progress quickly without misunderstandsings and drama

I dropped it there because the fl did something to a secondary character that made me mad.

But I was waiting for the 2nd lead romance and decided to pick it up again and they don't dissapoint! The best friend who is recently divorced in the worst way and has a kid struggles to pick up her life without the priviledge her ex's money afforded her. She focuses on her flower business, where she meets a delivery boy who's a little grumpy but always there for her. plus he's very hot, his eyes are crazy expressive. so they have a romance that makes up for the slow romance of the first couple in the second half. i always find the found family trope heartwarming and this was no exception.

Themes explored in the show: violence towards women, victim blaming, celebrity culture, the perilous choice of being a housewife, cheating and our attitudes towards it. basically, a lot of societal issues modern women (mostly) face and there were treated with more respect i've seen in any cdrama.

TL;DR don't be discouraged by the midway slump, it picks up! a show for modern women
