A comfy family drama with some fast forwarding
Homemade Love Story was a very comfy watch that was heartwarming with amusing and interesting stories along the way. There are characters both to root for and root against in this drama that keeps you in it until the end. There is also lots of moments that emphasizes the love of having family to support you, even if you are not of the same blood. It was also really nice to see the development of the villains in this this drama learning to be loved and that it doesn't have to feel like the whole world is against them always. It was also great to see that the villains were able to gradually look upon their actions and understand that they were actually bad and do what they can to be good to protect the ones they love. A lot of dramas either have villains go down as a villain the entire way or have them be a villain until the very last episode where for an action show it fits the genre but for family dramas it can sometimes be out of place. Before starting this show, I was undecided about starting it because a 50 episode drama can be a lot to take on but I am glad I made the decision to do so and will remember this one dearly.
Few things I disliked:
1. Both of Bit Chae Woon's moms were nice people but they were both pretty frustrating to watch at times with the back and forth thinking. They probably could have saved themselves a good amount of headaches with some stuff like Soon Jung being truthful a lot earlier than when she finally told the truth and Jung Won understanding that her daughter, who already tried to sabotage Bit Chae Woon early on, isn't someone who can be given the benefit of the doubt. Again, it's a 50 episode drama so they needed to extend the story into that many episodes but it was exhausting with the back and forth sometimes.
2. Seo Ah was a character that had to deal with a lot with so you could somewhat understand why she was the way she was with the pain she felt but even though that was the case it felt that she got off way too easy with the amount of hurt she caused others. She made Bit Chae Woon's and Jae Hee's lives as tough as possible every very chance she could since the beginning of the show. In the end, all that really ended up happening to her was her feeling sorry for her actions and apologizing to Bit Chae Woon and which felt like very little for what she did.
