Partially excellent, partially unfinished
The story has a nice flow (in the beginning). There is introduction, development and conclusion. In the introduction, we can meet the main actors, see their happiest, the saddest and most important moments.
Then the emotional connection of the characters is dealt with more deeply. And in addition to the romance, a little action has been added. Then comes the ending we didn't prepare for. For me personally, not so much for emotional reasons as because I consider it unfinished.
The best part of the series for me is the character Hoe Jo. They chose the ideal actor for the role. It showed his dark side perfectly. I hated him when he was rude and then I forgave him when he smiled. At times cool and absent and then funny and silly. He portrayed this emotional and complicated character in the best way.
Oh Jung-Seu in the second male lead, once again showed his acting skills. He made me feel what his character feels. He is full of love for the whole world. Full of genuine kindness and the ability to forgive. He fell in love for the first time and his heart was broken for the first time. And all this at the age of forty. He made me really feel sorry for his life. But in the end I was so proud of his mental and emotional growth.
The story brought by Jo Jea-MI's character is excellently written. An orphan whose biggest wish in life is to be a mother because she wants to give someone all the love she didn't have. Such a sad life that she lived and the terrible news that she found out actress Lee Yo-Mi did not present well. She look like a child alongside the 2 male leads. She had no emotional chemistry with Hoe-Yoja at all and it killed half the series for me. I think she is a good actress but definitely a bad choice for this role.
The story (almost to the end) is excellently written and emotional. But for me to actually cry I would have to relate to their pain. And because the actors didn't have chemistry and I didn't feel the love they should have, I didn't shed a tear. Otherwise, I cry for series very easily.
When Hoe Jo was a child, they found out that the sperm samples were mixed up and he doesn't actually know who his biological father is. After that knowledge, his mother died and his father pretended that he did not exist because he thought that he was no longer his son. He ran away from home and after several years, he decided to find his biological father - there were 5 candidates on the list. This all makes sense.
The events of the last episode were not resolved for me. After all the years he was away, that father remarried and had a daughter. So he went on with his life normally. And then after 3 attempts for finding the biological father, Jo Ho goes to him and hugs like he never left him. There are tapes and photos of him in the house when he was a boy. I don't understand how he didn't pay attention to him throughout his life and then it turns out that he secretly loved him all along. I understand that the meaning should be that the father is the one who cares and not the biological father. But he didn't worry about him. It makes no sense!
Another thing that is not worked out is his sister who decided to look for him. In the end, Jo Hoe does not admit to her that she is actually looking for him. She never got that conclusion. They were supposed to get to know each other eventually and create a family bond.
In fact, he remained a stranger to her. Maybe they are not biological brother and sister, but the story between them is not elaborated.
The end is sad but beautiful because everything ended just the way he wanted it to. It only took a few more episodes for him to finish everything he wanted and to end up with the same 15 minutes. I have very mixed feelings because at times I did enjoy it, but again, so many things were missing.
