Good tropes, but bad writing, with designated hero characters
When I saw that this drama had no reviews, I felt compelled to write one.----------------------------------------------------------
I enjoyed a few moments from this drama, but that’s about it. Most of the time, it delivered an experience that was either average or, at worst, below average.
Before diving into criticism, I'll acknowledge a few positives.
I genuinely liked some of the characters, at least at the beginning of the drama. There are tropes I’m particularly fond of, such as the divorcee with kids and older-younger relationship dynamics, both of which this drama leans into heavily. The portrayal of "sismance" is well done in most cases.
Now, there are three female leads, but I would say the main one fits the archetype of a designated hero—a character with glaring faults that the story downplays or excuses to keep the plot on track. Her flaws are essential to the way the story unfolds, but they’re never properly addressed, and that undermines the narrative. But her flaws are ones to make you hate story the most.
Other characters got quite few flaws too.
This drama would have been significantly better if it had been condensed to 24 episodes or fewer. A tighter story could have eliminated many of the dull or unnecessary subplots, and the characters wouldn’t have needed to make so many nonsensical decisions just to keep things moving.
Plot: The story centers around three sisters living under the same roof with their old-fashioned father. Each sister faces personal struggles they must overcome, and, of course, they each have a love interest to navigate.
Genre: Romance.
