A really well told story about the complexity of being human and human interactions.

This is so beautifully written. A poignant story. The writer(s) and director(s) did so much work to tell this simple yet complex story. The story starts in the present but tells a 360 story of the past, the present and the future. I can't believe they got all this in just 12 episodes. They did a good job keeping the story moving forward so that this slice of life drama did not stagnate. I love the growth of all the characters. At the beginning they were some characters I found annoying but in the end I understood all the characters for who they were. Appreciating the nuances of their strengths and flaws. The characters all started one dimensional and ended 3 dimensional. It is a beautiful story. A really well told story about the complexity of being human and human interactions.

This show really highlights the things Korean dramas do better than most other entertainment industries. Telling a story, not with action and complicated plot devices, but telling by trying to get the audience to feel with the characters. Laughing with them, crying with them, waiting with them. I wonder if there is a technical term for this? Empathetical story telling.
