One of the best i've seen! [get ready for the longest review ever]
A Kdrama strongly lead by females! This is it!
Even the big CEO's were female and that my friend was awesome to see!
The 3 big female leads were very different in choices and personality and that only added to it!
We also had genuine friendships and working relationships without it being a romantic troop, and as someone that works at an office and has a lot of working friends who i hang out afterwork for a late beer, i really appreciated that!
Shout out to the actors that did Park Morgan, Brian and Seol Ji Hwan!! They really added the perfect support for these strong female leads! Gotta say that whole old-school dramatic korean drama with the slap of kimchi and all that was absolutely genius!!! It was so so funny! Those kdramas always look like they are on crack and that was truly shown on this one. Great laughs!! So much fun!
Loved all the romantic troops as well, each romance was so different and precious! Love the realness i felt watching Park Morgan and Tammy fall in love. It wasn't an easy yes. Their conversations about age, different lifestyles... it was all brillant! That whole scene with Morgan spending the first night at Tammy's house and asking "will you still want me tomorrow?" was just so real. Truly a great written work!!
» The only thing i would change would be either to make Cha Hyun and Ga Kyung less like lovers and more like long life friends OR make it lgbt as indicated in the first episodes. The writers would be lying if they said there was no tension between these two characters in the first scenes they had together. It's true that girls can have girl crushes on each other without it being lgbt, but the vibe these characters gave me with Cha Hyun protecting Ga Kyung in slow motion and then staring into each others eyes, it's such a classic romantic troop in kdramas that was hard to miss. Lines such as "i am only this honest when i am with you *smirk*" and other moments that would be very hard to explain as a mere high school friendship (in my opinion).
This kdrama is all about strong female leads. Even the "bad and rich" ones were female, so it would be super fitting to see it go lgbt for some characters as well. 'Cause you see... An almost all female driven kdrama worked out pretty well anyways. Perhaps someday when Korea is more accepting of lgbt rights, we will see a kdrama with all kinds of love relationships in it, without it being the whole focus of the kdrama itself. A kdrama still about powerful working woman, and 2 just turn out to be lgbt, and not a kdrama focused solely on the fact that they are not straight. Someday.
With ALL of that being said... the alternative love lines for both Cha Hyun and Ga Kyung was super adult and cute! So that's why i didn't understand why the writers gave such tension between them and then provided decent love alternatives in the end... but i can't complain! The whole Cha Hyun and Seol Ji Hwan energy was super adorable and wholesome and Ga Kyung's soft flirting with her ex-husband also was a big MOOD.
About Tammy and Morgan, i think it was very mature of them to get back together but still have them acknowledge that being together won't erase their different points of view on life. Glad neither of them gave in, to make it possible for them to be together again at the end.
