This drama is my top 5 Korean drama of this year! I was very hesitant to watch this drama because the plot was very melodramatic & I didn't feel like watching a melo right now. But after the first episode. . . I was very pleasantly surprised with how light-felt, and hopeful this drama was.
Story: 8/10 because it is actually pretty cliche, but the way the cliches were handled were so refreshing that it didn't feel cliched at all. The only part of the story that I didn't like is that the seconds leads were only one dimensional characters. I wished that they developed them a little bit more.
Acting: 10/10 because everyone brought their character to life. I felt that Hye Soo, Ji Hoon & Eun Sung were a real family to a point, that sometimes, I had to look away for a bit because they were having the time of their lives & felt like I was looking in on them. I give props to the actors and actresses in the drama. Especially Uee(Hye Soo) because this is the first time that she gave it all to her character and it showed in her acting. I seen her in a few projects and she was good, but I think this is her breakout role in her career. I laughed, smiled and cried with her. I felt the same was with Lee Seo Jin(Ji Hoon). I was seeing that he truly starting to fall for Hye Soo & Eun Sung. Ji Hoon's father was just evil!!!! I'm glad he got the ending he got. The second leads weren't written very much in the drama, so I couldn't really sympathy for their situation because of how undeveloped they were. I really hated Jung Hoon because he was very immature; at the same time, I understand why he acted the way he did. There was amazing family chemistry between the main leads. The chemistry between the leads felt realistic. It builds up as you continue watching it.
Music: 9/10 because it really fit the scenes very well. I would get a couple of the songs from the soundtrack & listen to it.
Re-watch Value: 7/10 because there were moments where I cried a river even though there were lots of humor & light hearted moments. Bring tissues just in case.
Overall, I really loved this drama. If you are hesitant to watch the drama, then bring tissues with you just in case. There are moments where you get some laughs & smiles on your face. Have fun watching(if you are)!!
