    Both the male and female leads are remarried, approaching each other with their own pasts and scars. There are no melodramatic misunderstandings, only the clarity and honesty of adults. The dual impurities tear away the filter of romance, making it all the more realistic—they hesitate, they argue, but they also learn to trust again through compromise. The values ​​are so positive that it's comforting; there's no forced angst, only the most delicate depiction of life. Highly recommended for those who believe that "the later one can also have a happy ending."
