Less is more
Let me just get straight to it. I would not recommend this drama. Yes, I have not finished it but I can say with confidence that this drama promised too much but did not deliver.
Story: A single mother struggling to make ends meet suddenly finds herself in the midst of a love quadruple with 4 successful men three of which she has a history with. Similar to the classic movie Mamma mia, the plot essentially follows the same storyline. The story itself held a lot of potential. There were so many points to work on, however, it somehow still fell short. At one point I was confused at what the plot was even about anymore. I was expecting parent-child heartfelt scenes yet there was hardly any interaction between the mother and her daughter(which, I believe was essential). The chemistry between the protagonist and her child was just not enough.
Moving on to the romance part, which was even worse somehow. I could not understand why they had to dump in 4 men as love interests as 2 of them contribute to story in no way at all. They tried too much with too little. It was tiring seeing one misunderstanding being dragged on for hours and hours, testing my patience. This drama fell short on so many aspects, it honestly broke my heart to see it spiral down each episode. Sometimes less is more and I hope the producing cast learns from that.
Acting/cast: even though the story fell damp, I have to applaud the cast. They did extremely well, especially Uhm Chae Young and Son Ho Joon. Of course, other veteran actors like kim mi kyung did not go unnoticed, as always she delivered.
There were some scenes where the acting was cringy. and some where it felt forced but I loved watching uhm chae young in action. I'm looking forward to her future in the industry because I'm sure she has a lot of potential.
Music: The OSTs were good. A great soundtrack. The instrumentals improved the scenes by a tenfold.
Rewatch value: I don't think I will finish it let alone rewatch it.
Overall: In an increasingly changing and competitive industry, this drama will sadly not go down in history as one of the greats.
