It also helped me re-discover some B-side tracks that sound good. From opening the album/jewel case, to inserting the disc and waiting for it to whir and play the tracks one by one. Don't get me wrong, streaming music is so convenient but there are times when I want to purposely sit down and consume Kpop by touching the CD and album to attain another 'sense' aside from heari

I was looking forward to this drama because of the leads and I was curious how different it would be from Our Beloved Summer (2021) because of the same screenwriter for both dramas.

The idea of working parents prioritizing their dreams and work life over family life does hurt, but that's reality in this world. Kim Mubee's relationship with her father did feel a little relatable to some extent.
