The Kind of Story That Stays After Ending
Ahhh! One of the best dramas I have seen.
I mean, where to start. Easily one of the best dramas I have seen. At first, I was a bit reluctant because of the 133-episode length, but it is more than worth it. This is some drama that you feel bad when it ends. And it is like that even if it is 133 episodes long. This is some wholesome drama you can enjoy without any tension, fear, or anxiety of what bad can happen next. You somehow do not feel when the 133 episodes are gone.
Every character and their growth is very well shown. I mean, even the mean characters at first are advocating for the good cause at the end. This is easily the longest-running drama I have seen. I generally finish a 16-episode (1-hour) long drama in 2–3 days, but this drama took around 25 days to finish because I didn’t want to ruin it by rushing it. It is that much good.
Now let’s talk about the characters, which make the drama that much better.
At first, let’s talk about the main leads. Their chemistry is superb, and they also picked this attractive genre of a good, honest, warm, kind, poor male lead (ML) and a rich, cold female lead (FL), which really goes well with the story. I understand that this genre is somewhere attractive to a certain number of viewers, but not every drama can play it off this much well.
The balance of hardships is equal. Not only is the ML dealing with his past, but the FL is also doing the same for him, which is very well landed here and makes the story not just another K-drama where one side is just fighting. This gives a good vibe, and you can wholesomely watch the drama.
One of the best things about this drama is that from the first to the last, they never get separated or broken up. Some episodes have parts, but that’s just for a little bit of time and does not impact the overall story—especially not the overall mood of the viewer, which is one of the most unique parts of the show. Unlike other shows, even if they break up for one or two episodes, their interaction never stops, which especially makes the show more watchable. Another thing is the absence of any love triangle here—they are both committed till the last.
Now the sister of the FL and the brother of the ML storyline—again, at the end, you will have no complaints. Yes, their story could be a little bit better written at the very end. It is actually a slow-burning romance, which is good till some of the last episodes but at the end things pay off. The sisterly bond is very wholesome to watch.
Now his sister and his brother’s friend’s story—this is one story I particularly think is a little bit rushed toward their marriage. They could have given better screen time, and the chemistry could be a little bit more developed. But I felt that they were somewhere the supporting characters who were always there for them.
Now the youngest of all, the small sister, is also a good supporting character overall, whose bonding with the chairman is also very good to see and enjoyable as a whole. she somewhere the connecting link between all of them from the siblings to the
FL peoples.
Now one of the main characters, the antagonist Lawyer Lee—I must say his character is very impactful. During the first episodes, he appears for very little time, but you really hate that character for his actions, so his acting is very good to see.
The other characters like the teacher, the friend of the ML who really has a good impact on the life of the ML, the FL’s parents, the grandfather, the sister’s parents, the mother of the brother’s friend, and the team members—all have very good parts to play.
Now going to talk about the whole drama—the writing. The drama is 133 episodes long, so they have the leverage of explaining everything, and they rightly do this in a complete manner. The ML’s nature—why he is so kind—is well written. It is told that he is privileged to have someone call family as his own, that’s why he is ready to sacrifice anything for them till the end, and he has influence on everyone's life. From his sister’s marriage to the little sister’s acting career, every aspect has his impact, like the head of the family.
The FL’s growth is also significant—the stepmother she didn’t even let talk to her, to handing over the sewing machine her mother gave her, the big sister’s mother-in-law (the same mother who was totally opposite to their marriage) advocating the marriage of the small brother at the end, the friend of the ML finally getting to run the restaurant and not needing to wander off, The teacher as a good adviser which actually required in the show. In the end those scenes make the drama more special and pleasant to watch.
One thing is that they never show the reaction of the FL’s parents. I understand they may have left the show under some circumstances, but they could have shown a scene with the FL’s father because we only see him blaming her. Again, it’s not a bad thing—just something but acceptable.
Overall, it didn’t feel like this drama was 133 episodes long. A wonderful journey to watch with peace.
