A drama about a warm friendship between three friends as they entered into a new decade.

I've been waiting all year for this drama and it did not disappoint. The friendship between the three female lead is to die for. Their undying love for another is like one, never seen before. There is no jealous among the three female lead only a strong sisterly bond in which they support and elevator one another and their dreams.
