Excellent. I skipped just one episode out of 106!. That is a record. Uee and Jang Woo are really excellent actors and a great match-up. All actors in this series were believable and excellent. The grandma was dignified and such an amazing actress same with the Hongju. All characters are good-looking. The antagonistic characters such as Daya, the mother-in-law, and stepmom can even be reasoned with to some extent. All characters including Daya the antagonist are really good-looking. The story writing also comes together intelligently and in a believable way. KBS and the team have really outdone themselves in this one. As long as the show is, it manages to be engaging and well-paced. ep 81 acting and many others were lit. Doran's Father is also oddly handsome and his mannerisms are memorable. Great stuff! High rewatch value. I can see myself rewatching this sometime in the future.

Upon my second rewatch completed (June 2025), It also gets the award for making me cry all kinds of 'touched' tears. Bro I cried a whole lot of good tears and even grandma's dementia showed itself in a more realistic way and not at all as a touch of comedy. I got to see more clearly how exhausted everyone was with her illness and how sad the impact of dementia can get. Many times she disappeared the viewers would know she is looking for FL but the family would not which is more worrying than depicted. All the actors including the antagonistic mother and daughter in law were truly excellent.

Loved that there were no over the top characters. Chairman wsn't evil...No one was going around straight up mudering people and pretending and such you see in other makjangs. This was holistic. It was completely deserved and believable that no one suffers any dramatic karma cos they were all just mostly normal humans with (no extreme) motives. Love love love this show even a bit more than Seoyoung my daughter.
