News Beautiful portrayal of tangled family ties, grief and love
I watched this drama while it was airing, so this review is a little bit late. My favourite genre is slice-of-life, and this drama nails this aspect like my other favourite ones, My Liberation Notes, Move to Heaven and Daily Dose of Sunshine. I personally love the movies or dramas that portray grief realistically, and I can assure you this drama is one of them. For others, grief may be too gloomy or even a taboo topic; still, I suggest giving it a try if you are not used to it very much. Time passes and nothing lasts forever. I know that such a nostalgic feeling is painful, but it is not the only way to see it. The pacing may be slow for watchers who are used to interesting hooks and attention-grabbing plots on the first episode. But the pacing is the gem of this kind of genre and is necessary to lay the ground for watchers to have a connection with the characters. Not every episode has to follow the hero journey format. No one in the drama is lacking in terms of expertise on acting, and I remember I rewind a few times just to catch the actors' gazes or relive the dialogues again. For the music, it did not necessarily leave a very great impression on me as other dramas did; however, this does not mean the music is bad. Give it a try if you have time or watch it later. It will be worth it.
