Kim Jung-hyun (Gangju) and Geum Sae-rok (Darim) are nominated for the Male Top Excellence Award (Long-Form Drama) and the Female Top Excellence Award (Long-Form Drama) at the upcoming 2024 APAN Star Awards respectively for this drama.

I agree with Jung-hyun's nomination, he's doing very well in this drama as Gangju. But Sae-rok? I haven't seen her earlier dramas but her acting in this drama is a bit cringy (not too sure if it's only me?). OK, I might be biased since I don't really like the Darim character.

Instead, I think Kim Hye-eun (Gangju's mom) deserves to be nominated for the supporting actress award (if any).

Is the detective (Gonghee's dad's friend) Kim Jun-Bae (Mr. Kim in "A Shop For Killers" and Mr. Bae the gangster lead in "Oh My Geumbi"? He is so familiar.

Yes, she is selfish.

I love the story, it's heartwarming. But there are some plot holes that I wish the writer and director could pay more attention to. How come two little kids are left at home alone while their samchon is busy with the documentary shooting? How is it so easy for the two little kids being kidnapped to be brought to the airport and to be sent off to another country (yeah despite the one who kidnapped them being their own father)?

The FL didn't want to tell the ML because she still had hope things would work out so she could get the department transfer.

She didn't tell Cheol Hui because she still has hope that things would work out so she can get the department transfer.

Which doesn't seem to be the case by the end of episode 6.

I am at episode 20 now and my sympathy and love towards Jiyeon (Gangju's mom) become even bigger. It's surprising because I really hate her character since the start of the drama, just like how I hate Sanha's mom character in Family by Choice, who is also portrayed by the same actress (Kim Hye-Eun).

Love how she stands up against how her husband has mistreated her and her son. The wealth came from her family's money, anyway. The chairman's attitude really baffles me.

Other than Jiyeon (Gangju's mom) and Gangju himself, other characters in this drama are really unlikeable. This includes the FL (Darim) who seems to be desperate in trying to make the villain (Tae Woong) to like her.

He's one of the villains in the drama. He colluded with his mom to take down the ML, causing a rift between the ML and the chairman father, and removed the ML from the director post in the company.

And the way how both Cha Rim and Da Rim are fighting because both of them are romantically interested in that jerk Tae Woong really irks me and boils my blood!

Not me. Gangju and Darim are meant to be to together.

And for the first time since I watch this drama, I feel sympathy with Gangju's mom. The way she talks to the chairman asking for a divorce, for the way how he has mistreated her son, is applaudable. The chairman, as well as his biological son, are jerks.

Spectacular acting from Gangju and his mom at the start of episode 19. Kim Jung Hyun and Kim Hye Eun, the actors that you are!

This is one of very few dramas I wish to have more episodes.

I love the drama. The ending is a bit "bland" (I didn't feel the "climax"), but overall, it's still one of the best dramas of the year!

Is there an OTT platform where I can watch this in Southeast Asia? It's not on Netflix, Viu, Prime Video, or Disney Plus. Viki and Kocowa are not available in the region.

Yes, I watched him on Gyeongseong Creature 2. He's multi-talented!

Yeah, the mistery is quite intriguing. It's actually a good drama.

Another character in another drama (Family By Choice), portrayed by the same actress (Kim Hye-eun). :)

he eventually knows who kidnapped his sister, and the sister's remains are eventually found, together with their father's remains.

Could be. :) I have to admit that the actress portraying both roles is outstanding, though.
