Very funny but also very sad episode. It shows how the best for kids to overcome sometimes bad accidents is to have friend similar age who is just childish and think about playing and all that stuff so the sad kid can forget about problems.While I understand mother, since it's really hard to not think that maybe a son did sth, in the end it was her son, a child and he needed help also and his mother, but apparently nobody from his family cared about him, boy was all by himself and honestly they were lucky that he was strong enough to keep on living and doing all daily stuff like before.JuWon's father is literally a perfect person here, great father that cares about child that aren't evne his own, and he raised HaeJun also.Great introduction to drama and I cannot wait to see more.

The pacing of this first episode is really well done. It sets up the story smoothly, giving just enough background while moving things along at a nice pace.

This episode made me feel all the feels. It was so cute. So heart breaking. What a beautiful job at putting all the pieces of this beautiful found family together.
I was so heart broken for San Ha. That type of grief can be horrible. And to blame a child. Sometimes there is no blame, just wrong choices. I cried so hard.
I was curious how San Ha's bio dad was gonna fit in. That breakfast thing was so cute. Find the people you belong with.
Totally amazing first episode.
