Reasons to watch: The buzziest show of the summer is here, and I don’t mind saying that the expectations are sky-high, especially mine. Our childhood-friends-to-lovers tale is led by Jung Hae-in and Jung So-min, but the supporting cast is so exciting it’s hard not to list everyone involved. To spare you that list, I’ll just shamelessly highlight a few personal favorites like Jeon Suk-ho, Jang Young-nam, and Jo Han-chul.
As if the ensemble cast and hometown goodness weren’t enough, we have the PD who brought us Crash Course in Romance and Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha (among some other favorites), and if there is one thing I love about this PD it’s the feeling of his dramas being real places inhabited by real people. Further upping the excitement, our screenwriter here also worked with our PD on Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, so the resemblance isn’t uncanny — it’s a vibe, Beanies.
Worth noting: Everybody’s favorite wingman bestie from Lovely Runner (Lee Seung-hyub as Baek In-hyuk) is also in a supporting role here playing Jung So-min’s brother, which is *chef’s kiss*
TL;DR: I’m just going to call it now and say this is going to be the next “big” drama since Queen of Tears to earn a place in the K-drama annals.
