Two middle aged prodigies in porcelain making. Rivals and constantly at each other's throats, but having mutual caring and admiration deep down. Their families~ a beloved wife and two sons on one side, and motherless two daughters on the other side.
And every single one of them, I repeat, every single one of them, deeply love and care for everyone else and protect each other at any given crisis and would gladly take knives to save the other.
I have never seen a more nuanced and heartrending portrayal of interpersonal relationships in a drama. Who need romance when you can have a marriage between two households? It was ~chef's kiss. I even ship the brick walls of these two houses.
This drama, with its beautiful script and acting, took my heart through a wringer and I gladly allowed it to.
Highly highly recommend. Do not miss this gem when it's free and subbed on YouTube. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJPEbKQEnORO13UHtBOPHT5Oi_g7qv_Hh
