This is not just a drama, this is emotion


This is my first time posting a review on MDL, so my perspective is that of a regular viewer rather than a critic. This drama is not just a show; it’s a bag of emotions. I usually don’t cry while watching dramas, but this series brought tears to my eyes. It truly succeeds in tugging at your heartstrings.

The story revolves around a young, naive couple who are suddenly thrust into a new world with their newborn baby. Through their love for each other, the husband and wife strive to improve their lives and do everything possible for their children. You’ll witness their transition from youth to old age, and it will feel like you’re experiencing that life yourself.

The drama beautifully explores different facets of parental love—showing how parents will do anything for their children, while also highlighting how excessive care and love can sometimes negatively impact a child’s life. Park Bo Gum as Yang Gwan Sik and IU as O Ae Sun both gave strong performances, but it was the portrayals of middle-aged Yang Gwan Sik by Park Hae Joon and middle-aged O Ae Sun by Moon So Ri that truly stole my heart. The emotions they brought to those roles made their characters feel incredibly alive.

Overall, this drama deserves a 10/10 from me, and I highly recommend it. Don't miss it!
