Ga yeong’s husband Chanu runs a cafe in the neighborhood. He gets involved in an accident with Areum & they get close. Chanu begins to fall for Areum, who runs a flower shop, in place of her sick mother.
How will these two love stories end ?
So Yoo Jin, a seasoned actress, makes us feel for her. She is meeting her ex after 4 years. The lingering feelings make it so difficult for her to work in the same office.
Kim Do Hyun as her ex & now boss is perfect. He was in ‘Goblin’ 2016, ‘Hot Stove League’ 2019, ‘Arthdal Chronicles’ 2023, ‘Queen of Tears’ 2024, ‘Romance in the House’ 2024.
Ahn So hee as the flower shop girl, is petite. She was in ‘Train to Busan’ 2016, ‘Thirty-nine’ 2022.
Jung Woong In as her husband falls for a 20 something girl. Specializing in negative roles. It is a welcome change. ‘I hear Your Voice’ 2913, ‘ Empress Ki’ 2013, ‘Pinocchio’ 2014, ‘My Sassy Girl’ 2017, ‘Prison Playbook’ 2017, ‘The Good, Bad Mother’ 2023, ‘Romance in the House’ 2024.
The story had to end like this. No other end was possible. in ‘slice of life’ we come across harsh realities. And missed chances is a reality.
When she was begging to get married, ( they had dated for 6 years! ) he was n’t interested. Now, he knows her worth. He gifts her with a bunch of red roses, box heart shaped.
Her husband unable to find his flower girl also gifts his wife a bunch of red roses, in another heart shaped box. Ironically, the flower girl has packed both the boxes. Flowers for love, wishes & longing!
Sad. But true.
