Title Windy Mi Poong
It's basically daily airing soap opera trash disguised as a weekend family drama. I have lower standards for weekend family makjangs, but this was more on the level of the daily airing shows. It had a very strong start with so much potential. In the beginning, ML and FL first meet as kids and eventually become friends as a North Korean and South Korean. This concept and childhood arc was so unique. The drama also touches on the difficulties defectors face in South Korea, such as discrimination and being targets for scammers. On the downside, the villains were ridiculously shameless, too shameless in my opinion. The moms were also too much. It used its fair share of trashy makjang tropes. I will give them credit for avoiding cancer and dementia (though there's a bit of amnesia). They also had some diagnoses that were rare for makjangs, which was refreshing. This drama was an emotional roller coaster, but not in a good way. It made my blood boil, increased my blood pressure, and possibly induced a lot of stress.
