The story revolves around five friends who have known each other for years. When Han Song-yi (Park So-dam) has nowhere to stay, she camps outside of Yoon Tae-oh's (Choi Minho) rooftop house. 

Tae-oh is unaware that he has feelings for Song-yi. Song-yi gets together with Seo Ji-an (Kim Min-jae) in the end.

My View

A sweet short drama about youths growing up to experience adult life.

I was certainly touched when Ga-rin suffers from her father's death, but the other four friends did not try to hurry her. 

They just waited for her patiently until she recovers.
