A familiar story for all of us

I have just wiped my tears, so understand if my emotions are too raw as I write this review.

I can't objectively judge this show on set parameters. Because it has transcended them all. It's not a new idea, not a brilliant script that's written once in a millennia, or a great fiction which you can't wrap your mind around. All it is, is a simple story of our great grand-mothers, grandmothers, mothers, and all those women who've worked very hard, against all odds, to survive this world, which is hellbent against them. And the man who stood by them, through all of their hardships.

I strongly commend anyone and everyone to watch this show, not to learn something new or for entertainment, but to gain a better understanding of our elders. Sure not everyone is alike, in their actions or in their fate. But throughout this series you will find yourself emotionally tangled to each and every aspect from the plot to the characters, because they carry a great sense of familiarity for all of us. We've definitely seen, heard, experienced something relatable once in our lives.

For me, it all hits too close to home. The reason why I wept, laughed, giggled, frowned all along with the show. It truly is a thing to be grateful for, that such a moving drama was created. A true blessing for future generations, to understand how things used to be.
