“Since I can't avoid it, I'll enjoy it. Since I started it, I should do it happily.” ~ Oh Dal Ja
The plot moves quite quickly, which is great. Things develop pretty fast so there's always something happening instead of having to wait for things to get interesting.
This drama is really about understanding people and resolving differences when disagreements and clashes of personality arise.
Dalja
Dalja is a competent business woman. Do you know how happy this makes me? She's a great heroine. She's steely and sweet.
I was worried the whole drama would turn into a weird rom-com revenge. But she gets over it by the second episode.
I love this woman's resilience.
I did get tired of her putting on a front throughout the drama but she's a great and genuine actress and I was always rooting for her.
Girl Power
“We may be a couple of hopeless divorcees and an immature woman involved with a married man, but we can do well too.”
I do enjoy a good enemies-to-friends plot line. I love that grown women can hold hands in a show of companionship and compassion.
Romance
I like that Dal Ja feels quite free to share her troubles in the guise of sort of sharing her philosophy with the “younger chap” that is Tae Bong. I like the way he hangs onto her words when she's rambling to herself about her life.
Also, this drama has one of the best, “Will you date me?” scenes. THE BEST.
I like that Dalja can see past Tae Bong's front he puts up and really is quite wise in handling him. And I like the way she deals with his issues.
Relationally, Dalja can be quite good, but romantically, she's always asking advice for her colleagues. Poor Tae Bong who isn't as smart as he thinks he is when it comes to relationships, always thinks she's mad at him, he should've learned by now that she has no idea what she's doing.
Finally, when they do get together, it's nice to have a casual vibe, but I didn't really like their dynamic.
Later on in the drama, the shaping of the romantic tension was good. I liked the realistic scenarios and crises that came up for the couple. It's not every drama that I feel physical heartache for the angst.
Tae Bong
“The only truth about Kang Tae Bong, is that I've never lied to Dal Ja.”
I like that even though he verbally teases Dal Ja, he isn't petty. He wants to make her life better, not worse for his own amusement.
There's something about this guy that never quite convinced me. I didn't ever really fall in love with him. I couldn't connect with his character. There was a detachment for me because the drama focuses on the heroine so much. Also, his facial features aren't that expressive.
Wee Seon Joo
I liked how this character really underwent such a transformation and how her relationships with the other characters developed. Most of the time I don't like women with her kind of voice, but I grew quite fond of her tone.
And the completion of her transformation in the last episode was absolutely hilarious.
Elders
The elder situation for Tae Bong is pretty funny.
Dalja's situation is good as well. I feel like it's been a while since I've seen such a lovely mother relationship.
Dalja's grandma is also really amusing.
Secondary characters
I loved how everyone became important and added something to the drama.
Her office staff are pretty cool and supportive of her. I like how they are both in awe of her and also treat her like the office pet because she was always does nice things for them.
Rep Eom
This guy and his secretary cracked me up.
