Another typical drama?
28 March 2021
This drama perfectly sums up the struggles young adults face when trying to pursue their dreams.

Money, relationships, friendships, family and reputation. All these subjects requires your attention.

The story is about people struggling to achieve their dreams: to be successful. Sa Hey-Jun, a young adult born into an ordinary family, tries to make it as an actor. He has been in the shadow of his good friend Won Hae-Hyo for far too long. When he finally start to rise to fame, Won Hae-Hyo, born and raise into a wealthy family, is shocked and scared that their positions will now be reversed. Now he stands in the shadow of Hey-Jun, which led to disapproval from his mother. He must do better.

Kim Jun-U is also part of their friendship. He likes to start his own photography business, but it hasn't worked out yet. Later in the drama, he finds himself facing Hae-Hyo because of his relationship with his sister. Will their friendship survive?

An Jeong-Ha faced some problems in her childhood, but she managed to stand on her own feet. She likes to start her own beauty salon. Her plans might change unwillingly when she ends up in a relationship with Hae-Hyo. How does she deal with this?

As for chemistry, I love the relationship between the three friends. The interactions and development of their friendship is admirable. The drama also focus on Hae-Hyo's family. His relationship with his dad and brother is tense. They both disagree with the (career) choices he has made. Later in the series you see them growing closer to each other, which made me shed a few tears as I watched the ending scenes...

However, in my honest opinion, there was no chemistry between the actors who played Jeong-Ha and Hae-Hyo. I found it awkward to watch. The awkward smile Jeong-Ha gave in response to Hae-Hyo's efforts to make her happy, no, it didn't work out.

Although the drama contains some clichés, such as the exaggerated love relationship between Jeong-Ha and Hae-Hyo while Hae-Hyo also loves Jeong-Ha (a common thing in most K-drama series), it doesn't affect the storyline. Actually, it adds a little bit of spice to the series.

Aside from all this, I highly recommend that you watch this episode if you are looking for a drama that keeps you busy for the next few days .
