Set in a cosy, warm, rural town, this drama manages to combine murder mystery, a delightful romance, and a charming cast of characters together to explore parent/child relationships and how this crucial human connection ends up shaping people and the way they affect and respond to others. It’s comically down-to-earth, with many truly tragic moments, but despite the sadness, it never strays far from its homey, innocent personality.

Single mothers, especially, are the stars of this drama. Our main female character is one. Our main male character was raised by one. And that’s just the start (to say more would be spoiling things). In fact, in this entire drama save for three characters, fathers and men largely take a backseat in the mainly female-driven story. The heartrending way the drama talks about mothers makes this a perfect watch for everyone. Maybe you grew up motherless, maybe your mother physically or emotionally traumatised you, maybe your mother was overbearing, maybe you loved your mother and lost her, maybe your mother is just a phone call away, maybe you used to be a mother, maybe you are about to become one, maybe you wish to be one... no matter who you are, I think this story will be healing, relatable, and ultimately empowering for the viewer.

It’s important to come into this not expecting it to be just one thing. Neither does it set out to establish itself as a “jack of all trades” type of drama. The characters are genuine, the story is honest, and everything unfolds rather mellowly. I would say there is some meandering in some parts, but let the characters grow on you, keep your judgement at the door. Immerse yourself and you’ll feel glad to be able to spend a bit more time with them.

Oh, and remember that no one is weak. We’re all just seeds, drifting and struggling to plant ourselves and take root, hoping to eventually flower and bloom. Give these characters the chance to do that, and give yourself the chance to too.
