It was mid. Very slice of life. I felt like the side characters had more nuanced and interesting stories than Song Yi: the single-mom younger sister, the upstairs couple, even the estranged friend Song Yi reconnects with. Little Jay was absolutely adorable and the café guy was a sweetheart. Loved them both and Chan Yang's unrelenting smiliness. For me, the romance was the weakest part of this drama. The guy was a condescending asshole for half the show, and his interactions with Song Yi were always kinda awkward. I think it would have been better if his character was either blunt and aware like Hana, or charmingly annoying like Chan Yang. Socially challenged characters can still be great, but that wasn't the case here. He was simply oblivious but in the most jerk-like way possible.

written, directed, and playes by women <3

I love shows like this. Tackles real life issues that people don't want to talk about. They are not afraid if they get low ratings because of it. Keep it up! Excellent E08!
