    Don't look at the score! Don't look at the score! Don't look at the score! I recommend a different kind of period drama. It's the story of a group of people born in the 1970s growing up. In that wild and untamed era, everyone was striving and fighting for tomorrow. Friendship, family, love, business warfare, and scheming. It's very good. Readers who are tired of Tomato's formulaic and overly exciting novels should definitely check this out. You won't regret it.
