A Light and Heartwarming Historical Drama
I’m usually not a fan of historical dramas. I prefer modern settings and had only watched one long ago. But I came across New Life Begins and decided to give it a try. I’m so glad I did – this drama is truly a breath of fresh air!
Unlike most historical dramas that are full of politics, harem fights, and dark twists, this one is very different. It focuses more on daily life, relationships, and light humor. Yes, there is some power struggle, but it’s not too intense or stressful. Even the “villain” characters are not extremely evil, which makes it easier and more fun to watch.
One thing I loved was how the drama talks about women’s roles, sisterhood, and mental health – especially postpartum depression, which many dramas don’t mention. It shows these topics in a gentle and respectful way. There’s also a lot of character growth throughout the story. Some parts are frustrating or sad, but that’s what makes the characters feel real.
The leads are amazing. The male lead is kind and always smiling, and the female lead’s bright energy lights up every scene. Their chemistry is so natural that you can’t help but smile along with them.
This drama made me enjoy the historical setting so much that I’m now open to watching more like it. If you're someone who usually avoids historical dramas like me, this one might surprise you too.
