A story that depicts the reality of life

This might be the first and only story that represented real life problems and struggles and how people survive them. The storytelling, production and acting were undescribable, i lived with the characters every event of their life and felt their emotions, never in my life have i wept and sobbed this much. The show makes you rethink everything about your life and did a very good job in representing how parents and children feel, it makes you realize that it's our parents first time living too, that they are experiencing new things and still figuring out how to live all while having to take responsibility. We view our parents as these invincible creatures who have, or rather suppose to have, the answers to everything because for us, the children, they are our world and we cannot understand that sometimes they too are confused with life, and they were also children once but they had it way worse than us, and from their trauma they did more than their best to protect us from what they went through. But again there's the story of Ae-sun and Gwan-sik that makes you pray for the kind of love that they had, because as i see it they wouldn't have been able to survive and achieve what they achieve without having each other's backs.

Wow, I'll never forget this series, for me it pained me to watch it as i hate seeing parents suffer but i had to finish it because it is so rare to find such good tv shows.
