A really important message!
This is a series that requires an open mind. On one hand, we have JaTae working together for the first time, which demands a significant investment of work, dedication, and commitment from the actors. Added to that is the story's backdrop, which deals with such a difficult subject matter. I think that, obviously, although there are flaws, as in any production, it was an excellent job by the entire production team. From my personal perspective, it would have been desirable to see Ja's character confronting his father from a much earlier stage in the series, but as the plot progressed, I had to remind myself how different the staging of Asian productions is compared to the rest of the world. In Asia, respect for parents is sometimes portrayed so deeply that even the worst treatment doesn't provoke confrontations from children towards their parents. I found the portrayal of JaTae's characters in the short film within the series wonderful (and I cried a lot). It conveys an important message.
