poignant tale about what it means to be alone

This is one of those dramas that make you really question your life choices. It's a slow, down to earth story. While male lead is comfortable being alone and finds being on his own fulfilling, the female lead can't seem to stand being alone and even eating alone makes her uneasy.
Modern society still can't make their mind up when it comes to loneliness and this drama challenges that. Is being alone miserable? Or can it be a concious choice? Do we really need a company? Is there really a void to fill?

I didn't expect to like this drama as much as I did. There are parts of the story that dragged on for too long for my liking, which affects my score. There is also a questionable PPL from MLM company, but I tried my best to ignore since it's not a central part of plot. Also there were parts that weren't really realistic, but in general it's fine by me - it's a drama after all :) Not gonna lie, the last few episodes surprised me with some developements. For a slower paced slice of life drama there weren't any filler episodes either.
I liked the "interview" interludes and how each episode ask you a different question regarding stuff such as marriage or life choices.
Music plays big part in how the story is told, and gives the drama a cozy, mellow feel. I find myself often listening to the songs featured, especially Maybe Maybe by The Chairs.
The acting is good and believeable, compliments the story and no one seems out of place.

Overall it's a drama worth watching. It has flaws, but at the end I don't mind them as much. I will go back to this one for sure.
