Relatable Quotes from "Doona!" Television Show

For me, Doona!, the recent television show, is alright. This show portrays how some real-life relationships can develop. Doona and Won Jun made me laugh and smile with their scenes but they also made me confused and annoyed with their actions sometimes.

But on the other hand, it isn't one of my favorites. I wasn't so addicted to this drama that I binge-watched it. Instead, I just saw Doona! when the new episodes of my favorite series have not aired and I wanted to pass the time.

What is Doona! Kdrama about?

Lee Doona (Bae Suzy) used to be a famous singer in a girl group. She had the best voice and the most fans but suddenly quit the music industry. Now she lives in a house with other people, near a university, and hardly ever goes out. Lee Won-Jun (Yang Se-Jong) is a student at that university. He is a kind, ordinary guy. He moves into the same house as Doona. His kindness makes Doona feel better. They start to like each other.
