I could see the "writing on the wall" where it was going
Review
?/10. Can't rate it as I didn't finish it. I started to watch this. Watched a couple of episodes and then quit watching as I had growing concern things were not going to end happy. So, I looked up some reviews and, reading through, decided this was not my cup of tea. I am not in for "tear jerkers" or heavily weighted emotional ones. Life has enough sad, I don't need to watch it. I would say it is probably a lovely drama for those that like that and consider it cathartic. Some reviewers say it is good - well worth the watch. But I just avoid anything that tips too far on the sadness scale as I am an empath.
Synopsis
This is a South Korean slice of life family drama with some comedic elements woven in. There are 12, 62-65 minute episodes.
Lee Ji-An (Yum Jung-ah), is a single mother who has made a living for herself and her daughter by being a construction site manager, an unusual job for a female. Being a single mother in Korea is challenging and she has overcome the challenges with grit and determination. She is proud of her daughter, Lee Hyo-Ri (Choi Yoon-ji), a medical student, as any parent would be proud of their child's achievements. The situation changes though when Hyo-Ri is diagnosed with a brain tumor. That single change causes Hyo-ri to rebel against her mother’s expectations which fractures their close-knit bond. Hyo-Ri even decides to flee to a quaint countryside town in a camping van. She is still newly there when she encounters Ryu Bo-Hyeon (Kim Min-kyu), a warmhearted flower farmer. Love lives in unexpected places and the easygoing Bo-Hyeon warms Hyo-Ri's chilled heart. Upon pursuing her daughter to the countryside, Ji-An’s unexpectedly encounters Ryu Jeong-Seok (Park Hae-joon), Bo-Hyeon’s father and her first love.
