Story

Young Eun and Jae Kook meet for one night after a party and then they go in their separate ways. However, fate and work bring them back together. They both feel attracted to each other, but they know that they can’t make it work, as they are completely different.

Korean Drama Now, We Are Breaking Up is a melodrama focusing on a love story that was doomed to fail.

The story has a nice office-fashion atmosphere, that feels like going through the pages of a fashion magazine.

The second couple was pretty cute, in addition, and the friend’s illness was the main source of emotional climax for the story.

Unfortunately, the rest of the plot was lukewarm towards boring. The love story was bad and it didn’t help that there was a repeatetive pattern to their relationship. The flash backs were also too lengthy and were shown more times than necessary.

As for the office drama, the twists and intrigues were not as interesting as they presented them to be.
