kim bok joo is us.
having a first crush and first heartbreak. want to feel loved. want to be perfect in front of him. insecurities. love for friends. love for foods. everything. and this bok joo taught us to be true to ourselves. dreams always can be true. chase it till it became. and most importantly is, it's beauty within ladies, its the beauty within. it reminds me that you're still worthy of romantic love and affection.

joon hyung is boyfriend-material ever!
i know jung joon hyung is just a character in a drama but handsome-sweet-thoughtful-caring-adorable-kind, i knew all the girls dreams to have one! including me. do you see how he treats bok joo like the only woman in his world? yea yea i know it just a drama. but this how a man treats his woman.
he gets my another plus in a way on how he treats his family. in his story, he was abandoned by his own goddamn mother and he was under cared by his aunt and family. since then, he felt how a family was. there will always be some misunderstanding and fights within our family, but after all been said and done, family will always have your back.
how precious friendships are
bok joo is very lucky to have seon ok and nan hee as her best friends. karaoke when you're sad. food trips anytime. sleepovers when you're scared of a ghost or crying over a boy. when tough times comes, you will always have each other to cheer you up.
They exhibit the importance of forgiveness and helping each other out when times get tough. and that called #friendshipgoals.

ultimate key in a relationship.
in bok joo and joon hyung relationship, communication and understanding are the ultimate key. i love how they have each other's back. when bok joo worried about her father and also her upcoming tournament, joon hyung supported his girl whole-hearted. you can see how he makes bok joo cheers up again after heartbreak by treating her foods with lots of alphabet 's'. you can see how joon hyung took care bok'joo's appa after surgery during her tournament without her knowledge and watch her winning on tv with her small family. yes. he's sweet.
when it comes to guys, they looked strong physically. cool like never have complicated problems but the truth is he had a trauma that made a reason he always be disqualified in his competitions. but there's a time he feels the worst like a helpless person. that's joon hyung. when the conflict where his mother came back to him and knew that she had another child, he felt down. he disappeared like nowhere. bok joo came and swam to him after worried. surprisingly, joon hyung cried on her shoulders and bok joo tried to comfort his man. it reminds me that a man is not a good speaker but they have a beautiful action.
