I really enjoyed this show for the most part. I like a good noona romance!
There were some really cute side characters in this that really made the show pop.
There were a few issues I had with the story line though. I could overlook them while watching but they still bothered me enough to share them.
For one I felt like they kept forgetting that she was a mom who was trying to get her kid back, not just working for her own good. She is a mom and older than him, this should have put an obvious pressure on their relationship that wasn't really there. She should have been a lot more mature than him but she wasn't. It didn't feel like a noona romance. It was like two class mates meet after a long time. There was no maturity separation at all and there should have been. It wouldn't have changed anything about the show if she hadn't been a mother at all.
Another issue I had was the scheming behind everyone's backs, even if it was a surprise or for someones good. None of it really made sense to me. It took away from the intelligence of the character, at least to me it did and I think it would have ruined a lot of the friendships.
I love the actor who plays the 2nd lead in this, he was one of the reasons I started watching it. Him and her friends relationship throughout this was such a mess though. It was getting to the point I didn't like him anymore. It drove me nuts when she was trying to hook him up with her friend, wouldn't have happened. Then them bringing in a love rival in the form of an abused former friend of his, was a little over the top for me. For one thing that girl would never act the way she did given her abusive back ground and state of mind, it was just to much for me and felt forced and out of place. If this had happened in real life I don't think the 2nd leads would have ever ended up together. She was to strong willed and to strong of a woman to put up with all the games that kept getting played. She would have just walked away and moved on.
I am glad that the family's in this were as nice as they made them. Even though there was some conflict there it was in a way that made some sense, even if them hiding his past from him didn't make any at all. That was a very big let down in the end because it was kinda pointless after all was said and done.
It was a cute fun drama though and if you can overlook this kinda of stuff then you will enjoy it.
