I came across this show while scrolling through Instagram and someone had shared several clips from this show. It appeared adorable, and because I can be fairly simple-minded, I saved it so I can watch it later when I was bored. So four days ago, I started this show because the series sounded interesting, it had high reviews, and plenty of praises from fellow viewers. Now before I continue, I just want to say that I've watched plenty of dramas before, and there were a handful of shows I've thoroughly enjoyed watching, but I never wrote reviews about them before because I felt there wasn't much of a point. However, for this show, I simply had to so I created this account to share my personal review.

Now to begin, I am not an overly sensitive person. I don't often cry or tear up when watching shows, even if it is emotionally moving. But at the end of this show, I was legit crying. Tears dripping from both eyes for a little while and where I was sniffling and needed tissues kind of cry. I was also incredibly speechless as I tried to process the thought that the story was done and there were no more episodes.

Now onto the main review. While there are 40 episodes in this drama (from where I am anyway), never once did I feel like it was too long. I've tried watching other C-dramas in the past, but I only finished two (now three) out of the ones I've watched simply because of how perfectly executed and paced this story was. Not only was this show just so WHOLESOME, but it truly stamped a place in my heart about life and most importantly, family. Be it blood related family or family brought together by circumstance, it showed both sides of the story and how, no matter what happens, you always lean on family.

This show has everything from great casting and acting, excellent music, a well thought out plot, and beautiful storytelling. Not one thing was left unturned, in my opinion, and everything was resolved at a perfect pace. The cast had this undeniable chemistry with each other that I felt from my screen. It was so natural, so warm, and each character had their own story told to us viewers so you can come to an understanding about them. This drama showed me that humans are indeed flawed creatures. We are far from perfect, we jump to our own conclusions and handle situations in a way we think is best. We tend to hold in our problems or utilize it to hurt others or ourselves. However, there is room for forgiveness and redemption. We just have to want it and try to make a better life for ourselves. It is never too late to start.

If you guys are looking for a show that is realistic with the right amount of drama, comedy, grief, romance, and just wholesome content, look no further. I know my review is one out of many, but I hope this review can help spread the love of this show and how well done it is.

A huge round of applause to the directors, the writer/s, the cast, and everyone else involved in creating this masterpiece. It is truly one of my absolute favorite dramas ever, and I can definitely see myself rewatching it in the near future.
