Drama Digest –

Jin Nam Joo is devastated to find out that her boyfriend ditched and left her on the exact first day of the year. Her father is supportive and worried for her and makes and sells her a fortune, being a fortune-teller, that this year, she will get to meet and mingle with three men according to destiny, and then she has to choose among them. Her life turns upside down when this happens and that leads to many unfortunate situations.

The Feel-Good Part –

The best feel-good part about this series is the uniqueness and the freshness in the show’s history. Such a show is less made in South Korea, which enhances the curiosity and interest part in the audience. The four main leads are also masters in acting and showing off their good works and the stories and they can entice the audience, with their expressions alone. It takes instead a lonely way of showcasing the real struggle made to find meaningful relationships and to handle and care for them. The perseverance shown by the main characters in working for themselves regardless of anything is applaudable.

The Disappointing Factor –

This drama is slow-paced and boring for some people, regardless of the less screen time. The scenes being crafted by the director could’ve been better with pleasant aesthetics, but here they lacked the most. With a great storyline, this plot lacked seasoning and precision in portraying the correct expressions onscreen. The story is concise with just 16 min per episode and, with only six episodes, totalling it to be only 96 min long for the whole series, which is the major factor of the failure of giving it full closure.

In-Depth Analysis –

Heartbreaks are challenging to pass through, and they can make a person feel worthless and insecure for their future and present relationships. The sudden way her boyfriend decided to leave her is heartbreaking. The irony of her being in pain and enjoying his life without her is very sad to watch. The bright side of the story comes when she meets three men who remind her of her value again. They fall in love in a new way of life leading with them in the background of their love. Being adults and grown-ups, they all understand the intricacies of life better.

Star Power –

The woman has a strong and bold dream of living a bright life after such an unfortunate incident. Even though those men help her to find her way, she decides to walk that and embark on a journey of transformation and love. Love is hard to find, but when someone loses it due to any reason, it gets difficult for someone to come back when you gave your best for it. This series touches on this kind of topic, and that makes it unique and fresh. The other characters of the story consider her a weak and secretive person who has qualities people do not know about.

Overall Opinion –

This series is recommended for the characters and the script. It is a worthwhile watch for those who prefer to watch romantic fictional tales.
