Plot:
Follows
the lives of three friends in their thirties. Seo Ji Won is a budding web-based
cartoon author who decides to devote her undivided attention to her craft –
forsaking love in favor of her career. And her decision pays off. By the time
she is 25, she is a published author. Now, aged 30, she has become a well-recognized
writer with scores of devoted readers. But turning her back on romance turns
out to be harder than she first thought when Lee Seung Yoo, her first love from
her middle school days, returns to the scene to turn her world upside down. And
things get more complicated when the film director Cha Do Hoon – who has been
charged with adapting Seo Ji Won’s web-based series for the screen – confides
in her and appears keen to strike up a close friendship. At the same time, her
friends Lee Ran Joo, who works as a radio announcer, and Hong Ah Young, who
runs a cafe, are also facing hard times. One day, Hong Ah Young's ex-boyfriend
who hurt her in the past appears in front of her once again. Meanwhile, Hyeong
Joon Young, who had a one-night stand with Lee Ran Joo and now has feelings for
her, works part-time at Hong Ah Young's cafe. (Source:
Mini Review:
↬A short
drama, focused more on just a love story, and not much about the phase of being
30.
↬There
are three friends (nothing much new here), and the story is about their love
lives (nothing new here also)
↬I
started watching as Song Jae Rim was part of the cast, but total combined he
has about 15min role throughout the 15 episodes, so nothing much to cheer here.
↬The
other Main Lead was a very annoying person from my point of view, who did not
have enough courage to break off his previous relationship completely before
moving on, and when his ex kept hampering the new relationship; his excuse was
“she is still young?” Could not root for such a lead.
↬The
other love story was much sweeter and had a nice story development, something I
could look forward to.
Ending Notes:
🔺It is a
short drama, 20 mins episodes each, so good for light watch.
🔺The
ending is on a better note.
🔺The Café
setup is pretty.
Final Rating: 1.5/5
