The Feel-Good Part

The concept of this drama is catchy and unique as despite being a short drama, the content is delivered accurately. This story has a lot of ups and downs, which keeps it entertaining.

Also, all the beauty tips given throughout the drama are realistic and original. So it can be a go-to drama for the cheesy, chick-lit romance as well as cosmetic lovers.

The Disappointing Factor

The plot would be much more suitable if it were made in the form of a movie as in that way, much more content could have been delivered to the audience. There were a lot of things going on in the drama, and at the beginning of the story, it will take a few episodes to catch up on what exactly was going on. Most of the time, things were too predictable as nothing new was there to offer when it comes to showing romance concepts in drama. In fact, they tried to put the love triangle concept, but it wasn’t much help either. A little more spark could have been shown between the main leads but it was a dead-end even till the second last episode. The main point wasn’t made, and you would sudeenly find yourself at the ending.
