If you are looking to watch something with crime and/or suspense, this is not for you.

While the beginning of the drama makes it seem like a murder mystery, what unfolds is a tender exploration of youth, love and courage. I found myself surprised as the drama unfolded, as it showed you the lives of many different kids, what made them do what they did, how they come around to making things better for themselves, and how they stand up for what they think is right. I like how the drama focuses not only on the "good" kids but also the "bad' ones, and shows you how a little bit of empathy and compassion can go a long way. All kids in the series are trying to live life with the cards they've been dealt, and I like how Ms. Rina shows them that you can stand up for things that matter to you. In so doing, the drama is able to introduce and explore multiple different themes that I think are brought to fruition pretty well.

Also I'm a huge fan of how they portrayed the husband/wife relationship, and some of the dialogues shared between them were just *chef's kiss*.

All in all, this is a deeply moving drama, and it makes you think a lot, cry quite a bit, and leaves you with a soft spot in your heart that is filled with hope.
