Pat May 27 2019 6:59 am I really like this drama, it is very interesting. The themes are simple, but they depict very nicely the struggles of a writer and an editor. I love how they can make something so trivial into a series. If you like slice of life and friendship it is a great watch.

DylaahLlama May 20 2019 2:39 am I came upon watching this just because of Alan Shirahama. But I must say that this drama is so basic and lacks a pop of color in its plot. I'm still in Ep.4 and planning to finish the whole series. But this drama just isn't working for me; not really gonna recommend to someone.
