Drama Digest 

Ju Yeong misses her ex-boyfriend but she wishes to move on further in her life. She gets into a relationship with an obsessive coworker only to find a dead-end in the relationship. Her ex-boyfriend joins the company where she works, and he works under her team, where she has to train him. Her new relationship was established with her ex-boyfriend along with handling her other relationships, like a troubled exchange with her two co-workers. She finally realises that all her problems and issues go off if she knows the way to handle them.

The Feel-Good Part 

A drama with only one episode of around 60 min long, it is a very short drama which could be completed in just a day. Being short makes it easier to watch and accessible for viewers. The enchanting story of Ju Yeong finding a new kind of love with her past boyfriend is very refreshing to watch. There are no very significant misunderstandings and problems between the two main characters. The way Jung Ji again falls in love with Yeong and also makes her realise her worth is impressive to watch. Love can be found again, and the healing from past relationships becomes easier ever since.

The Disappointing Factor 

The ending of the story is rushed with no comfortable closure given to the series, mainly because of the short screen time of the show. The theme of the story is slightly triggering for viewers, where an already broken relationship can again be found. Most of the time, a relationship that has once broken can’t be redefined further, but it is magically done in the show. The music is also disappointing and not prominent in the 1-hour show. It is not worth watching again. The ending ruins the complete fun of watching the entire series.

In-Depth Analysis 

The male and female lead has different kinds of relationship with each other. They need each other in such a framework, where the female lead feels alone and lonely in her job and her office. The attitude they hold for each other after they meet is unique. Being ex-lovers, they still respect each other but are never expected to fall in love again until they do when the male lead helps her to get out of a relationship that drags her down. It has a strong script. The series shows a different take on love, which is applaudable to watch.

Star Power 

The male and female lead has the same kind of background. They were lovers at a young age but parted later due to some differences which can’t be ignored. Life goes on again until they again meet in an unfortunate situation. The female lead is unhappy with her life and finds it toxic to be in her company due to a bad relationship and some annoying coworkers. The male lead holds a position again in her life and a love story starts again. The male lead, apart from the main one, is slightly creepy and stalker type, so this type of toxic nature is also showcased.

Overall Opinion 

A different story with a unique love. A worthwhile watch!!
