Synopsis:
This drama is a slice-of-life story about a group of five college girls in their early 20s. The drama shows the different struggles one might face such as financial troubles, romance issues, and career goals. It also shows the power of girl friendship and also the need to adapt to others and learn from others when living together.
Review:
This was so enjoyable to watch and so relatable. The 5 main characters are also so different that you are bound to relate to at least one of them or see your best friends in one of them. The five characters are:
1) Yoon Jin Myung-- a 28 year old who is working numerous jobs while attending college. She is late to graduate as she has to work so often and help her family financially. She is very cold, quiet, and detached from other people and it is very hard to get close to her. However, outside the cold exterior, she is a strong, caring individual. She is very career-oriented and hardworking. I thought that her manager at the restaurant was ridiculously shady (but there are many people who face workplace superiors who try to take advantage of them). However, she also gets to interact with the chef at the restaurant who truly cares about her and wants to help her out. It's nice to see how strong this character is and how she isn't scared to fight back. Truly refreshing. Also the chef dude is ultimate husband material. However, I'm glad that this girl isn't swayed by another person's kindness easily. She appreciates the kindness and help but she also remains strong and independent.
2) Jung Ye Eun-- a bubbly, girly 22 year old. Her life, outside of being a nutrition major at school, revolves around her good-for-nothing boyfriend and her friendships with her housemates. She is constantly having to deal with a boyfriend who disrespects her, cheats on her, and also tries to hit on her housemate. However, time after time, she forgives him because she loves him. She was a pretty frustrating character to watch and I think a big part of that is because when you're in a toxic relationship, you slowly toxic person toward others as well. She faces a lot of trust and jealousy issues when she is in her relationship. But when she finally learns to love herself and be more independent upon breaking up with her boyfriend, she ends up in a kidnapping and domestic violence case where her obsessed boyfriend tries to force her to get back together with him.
3) Song Ji Won-- a single, male-desperate 22 year old. She is the eccentric one of the group and she constantly dresses uniquely and makes up ghost stories that she claims are true. She is constant rambling about the importance of losing her virginity before looking for careers but has yet to find a man to have sex with. She appears to be male-desperate but she also doesn't really go for anyone. She also isn't sad or depressed about the fact that she is single and not accomplishing her virginity loss goals. She's fairly happy with her life and uses her lack-of-a-love-life as a joking matter with friends.
4) Kang Yi Na-- a seductive, strong-willed 24 year old who has no career or academic aspirations. She is the one person who is not attending college but instead is earning money by being an escort to rich men. She is extremely confident and also feels very comfortable in her own skin and in the decisions she makes for herself. At the same time, she also carries a burden of surviving at the sake of another person's life during an accident. I really liked her personality and I personally related to her confidence and the manner she deals with problems the most. Also, while none of her relationships with wealthy men are real, her friendship with this male escort is endearing. They both work in the same field but he really watches out for her and also even checked in on her when he thought she got hurt.
5) Yoo Eun Jae--a socially awkward 22 year old psychology major. She is extremely quiet and timid. She also has a complicated past as her brother passed away from a peanut allergy and she fears she might have accidentally caused her father's car accident when she was younger. She has trouble voicing out at times but she is extremely sweet natured. Her boyfriend in this drama is pretty dorky but I really liked how he was so head-over-heels in love with her and wanted her to have more of a backbone.
I loved the friendship dynamics between the girls so much and I also loved seeing them develop their own friendships/relationships outside of their house. They're so supportive and realistic of each other. The fights the girls have together resemble sister fights and it was kind of touching when they would make up the next day. The shade they sometimes threw at each other when one was in a bad mood was also absolutely hilarious. It felt so realistic and it just makes you realize girl-on-girl friendships are amazing.
But honestly speaking my friends better be able to differentiate me and another person via messaging the way these girls did when they figured out Ye Eun got kidnapped.
I also really liked the mini interviews at the end of the dramas where the characters talk about what happened in that episode or talk about each other. It gave me The Office vibes but with a more realistic touch. I thought it was so funny when they were asked to rate each other's fashion sense and also the interviews where they talk to the shady characters (like the restaurant manager and the abusive boyfriend). Made this drama feel more like a slice of life. I also like how not everything is explained in this drama and that there are some mini time jumps from drama to drama. But it isn't hard to follow this drama at all.
