Review
“I don’t know if we’re better than before. We don’t know if our future is better or not but we are the best to enjoy this moment.’

The above statement summarizes the 2 seasons of this drama. There was no big resolution at the end, it’s just about going through life and enjoying it with your friends, family and partner.

At first, I thought this drama lost its magic in the first 2 episodes. It was so odd and didn’t like their time at the mountains and how Jiyeon’s cancer was miraculously cured. Was the time spent there supposed to mean something because they didn’t really grow up when they went back to the city. Maybe it was just to wrap up Jiyeon’s cancer story. Should she be drinking so much?? I’m so glad they went back to the city and the story went back to how it was in season 1. I watch this because of the 3 girls and their relationships with each other, their memories about their parents, and the guys. They didn’t drink as much as in S1 though.

I always look forward to Sohee’s story and her weird romantic vibes with Director Kang. They always show him as gross and dirty but she oddly feels attracted to him, esp when he does those little things to support her. We also get to hear Kang’s story and why he is that way. He also has a lot of trauma (Siwon in fatsuit is too cute!!) And Sohee loves helping pitiful men. I think they are a match or complements each other well. But wow to Jiyeon for taking care of Kang and his dad instead of running away.

Jiyeon is the friend that I also love. She is too noisy most of the time but she shines when you need her the most. I thought the story with the siblings were boring but end up liking them too. They should bring Seonjung to their trio. She is also crazy. I also thought pairing loud Jiyeon with a guy with hyperacusis is interesting. But wait Jiyeon and So Hojun (funny cameo!) also works!! Alas she is still single by S2 end (but with 3 men) lol. Just a note that she told the siblings that communication is best, but when she fought with Jigoo, there was also a lack of communication.

Jigoo is the most silent and boring (for me) but she is the most thoughtful. I love that she found someone who really likes her. Yoon Si Yoon fits right in with his lovely artsy vibe. And Jiyeon is right, when the time comes, Jigoo will be the first one to leave and never look back. I wish Jiyeon told this to Jigoo, so that Jigoo can reassure her that they will be friends no matter what.

I dont know if there’s a possibility of S3 because I’m going to miss the girls!! They can actually stop at S2 but the ending just begged for a new season!! Would love to see the girls evolve since they’re now in relationships. They’ll prolly continue to be crazy.

It’s Beautiful Now Eps 33-40

We’re more than halfway through the drama and one brother has gotten married!

The second brother also proposed to his girlfriend!

Unfortunately, the adoption secret was also revealed which caused the postponement of HyunMi’s wedding plans.

Meanwhile, Soojae is still trying to work hard to pay back the money. While Yuna has been spending a lot of time with Mirae’s brother. I honestly want Yuna and the brother to get together instead. It will be interesting since Soojae and Juho will now be future in-laws.

I didn’t like the adoption story at all and how Grandpa and Mirae’s mom have been acting, but I understand how devastating and frustrating this must feel for them too. I just hope they soon realize that they can have a relationship even without changing the family register. and it’s even better that their extended families will be connected through Hyun Jae and Mirae’s marriage.

I feel so bad for Hyunjae’s dad. I think he’s is probably one of the best characters in this show. I don’t know why the writer has written most of the women characters badly but the male characters are good.

Almost there. Last 10 episodes left! they need to resolve HyunMi’s wedding, Dolt couple’s pregnancy, and Soojae/Yuna/Junho love triangle.

It’s Beautiful Now Eps 21-32

I love that the two couples have finally meet and are having double dates and supporting each other!
