This drama came to me at a little bit of a surprise - I need to stop going into shows with only seeing one clip and without reading the biography, but honestly, I don't think I would have put it high on my list if I did that. The single clip I watched, that made me really want to watch this, was when Tami and Scarlet went to town destroying a car with some bats. I thought that this drama was going to be about two (or 3) bad ass women who go around kicking ass and taking names. And don't get me wrong, this drama was that, but not in the way I thought.

This drama was very mature yet had all the elements of what I look for in a drama. I think it was one of the more mature dramas I have ever watched on Viki, that I would 100% recommend to anyone who doesn't like the typical cookie cutter kdrama feel and story. Yes it did have the swoooooooony-est romances I have ever watched, but this drama wasn't about the romance. For the first time, I went into a romance drama...not wanting to skip the plot to get to all the kissing scenes. I loved how Tami picked herself up and knew that she was a boss ass woman, even after being unfairly fired from Unicon, to help build her new empire at Barro with Scarlet (her previous competitor) and their team mixed with Barro and ex Unicon employees. I loved the loyalty and the friendships and how much faith Ellie and Joseph had in her, willing to start a whole new career at their competitor's company. I also loved the hate to love friendship Tami and Scarlet built throughout the drama . This drama hit all the feels and the ending honestly gave me goosebumps how they tied in the title of this drama. The one thing I disliked about the main plot, though, was Song Ga Kyung. Yes, we come to understand that she became a cruel person due of her mother-in-law and what she had to do in order to get to her dream of being director as well as being able to be her own person, but as the story goes on, we start to realize that her mother-in-law actually just brought to light Song's true personality (as we saw in flashbacks in the drama). And yes, we can go back and forth debating if it was really her true colors or something she developed from her mother-in-law, but she had an evil inside her that ate at her so much that she took out on others. We did see a little evil in Tami in the beginning, but it was an evil that she didn't take out on people - she always followed her moral compass and if she needed to take someone out, she would expose someone who committed evil acts rather than Song who would take anyone out that was in her way regardless if they were innocent. I am happy that everyone got their happy ending, including Song, but I only seemed to care about Tami and Scarlet and thought that they were more bad ass than Song was.

Now going into the romance in this drama -
As I said previously, I loved the romance between Park Morgan and Tami. It was one of the most mature relationships as well as passionate ones I have ever seen in a drama. It broke my heart every time they would break up (because there were a lot), but at the same time, it was hard to be mad because all the reasons why they broke up were logical. Plus, I enjoyed how they didn't just break up and run away, they sat down and talked about how they were feeling every bump in the road, even if it resulted in a break up. They would both take a day or two and think about if that reason was enough to keep them apart. At the end, they both just decided, even though they both have conflicting ideas about their futures and how they want to spend it, they decided to stop thinking about the future and live in the now. Which, is very scary if I am being completely honest, but in a sense...it is very romantic. I know so many people who break off relationships because they always think about the future before they think of the present and their current happiness. I loved how Park Morgan and Tami chose to live in the present and not the future because they were happy in this moment and wanted to live in that happiness, not caring if there wasn't a future. Not how a cookie cutter kdrama would normally end, but I liked that it more more "realistic" in that sense.
Then we have Scarlet. To be completely honest, when we first met her, I thought her romance was going to go in a completely different direction. I thought that her and Song had been high school lovers, the way the flashbacks were going, but then we realize it was more of a friendship that came to be because Song always felt some kind of guilt towards Scarlet as she believes she took away Scarlet's first dream. Instead, half way into the drama, Scarlet meets and falls for her "soap opera"/drama idol, Seol Ji Hwan. She helps him as a step-in-manager to help build his fame. There relationship was a very cookie-cutter kdrama romance and it almost acted as a comedic relief to the drama as it was the only scenes that didn't really follow the same mood and style. They acted as giddy teenagers who were experiencing first love and it was super romantic. I've been wanting to see actor Lee Jae Wook in more dramas after seeing his minor role in Memories of Alhambra as well as watching clips of him in Extraordinary You as one of the love interests, and I fell in love with his cutesy character in this. One of my favorite couples of this drama.
And I guess I have to talk about Song too. Not that I really "cared" about her character, but I did feel bad for her husband Oh Jin Woo who felt responsible for Song's unhappiness. He is the same as Song in terms of having this evil and willing to throw anyone under the bus if he does not like them, but he did it to always protect her. He didn't care if he had to ruin Tami's reputation and career if Song would not be miserable for a day. We also learn that he had always loved her, but didn't show it knowing that his family was hurting her and her family the longer she stayed married to him. Unlike the other characters, Song and Oh Jin Woo didn't have a traditional happy ending, but the ending was open that there could be a possibility to one.

Overall, this drama took me by surprise, and I wanted to give it a 10/10 so badly, but I couldn't. Even though I loved Park Morgan and Tami's relationship, I hated how they broke up every other episode. They literally waited until the last scene for them to decide that they didn't care about the future and wanted to be together now. Given, this drama was not about the romance, it was still...painful. Yes, I would watch this drama again 100 times over, but damn...every break up hurt...all 50 of them. So no 10/10.

Ps: This drama had one of the BEST soundtracks - Elaine's Follow as well as Mamamoo's OST song, instant favorites and added to my playlist.
