Mostly Boring

the drama had a good start. At first I liked the story and I was so curious about a nice family drama, without screaming . I like profound, meaningful messages in dramas. I thought that will be the case here too. But as episodes fly I got bored, the character Hong Dae Yeong, as a Teen was unbearable, like a stalker, insistent and only considering what he was missing, he had no overview for his family wishes... it felt like a stalker, it was everywhere and not in a likeable way. Even with his daughter, for me was irritated, lack of boundaries, insisting. stalker. So many things that where not a good example for mental health and harmony. Hong Dae Yeong actor as an adult didn't have any chemistry with the FL.

The FL character was so strange also... she was always understanding, calm and in a false way... she suppressed her emotions completely. but with her husband she was not understanding... the ML literally had to give up on his dream to be with the FL and his babies, he worked his ass off and was humiliated daily at work and everything she did was to nag him. the lack of communication was unbearable... and in the end I did not felt that they learn something from...

Did not like that the FL did not support ML dreams and encourage him in life.... instead she expect ML to support her to do everything for her and she did nothing for him ... like what the fuck... you have to support each-other, to communicate, to see if you can resolve the problems ... etc...

with every drama that I watch and and with my documentation of Korean family and relationship culture, i find out it's mega toxic.... live in a delusion, falsehood, comparison, discrimination, misogyny, control, invation of privacy, loss of boundaries...


I think I finish this for Lee Do Hyun, as I like him. Otherwise I would have given up long before the end.
The drama had also many good moments, some parts with good laugh but I will not lose my time to see this never again.
