HAHAHA so funny. On screen realistic yes, but acting surely there's mint in the mouth 🤣🤣
Yes, and just editing too! The next scene he is already lying on the bed. BTS he could have already walked and lied on the bed himself while having a freshener in their mouth before they kiss. ML is supposed to be sick in script, but I guess the script forgot since ML isn't actually sick when acting xD
Is this worth a watch??? Can someone give me a summary of this kdrama? What happens , is it sad?
It's a story telling of a Mother to her Daughter (look and personality alike) of her past until Daughter is conscious enough to understand the life her family and herself are living in.
Daughter is the narrator of this story.
It's not exactly sad (for now), but it can be sad for the audiences (us) when we see what it was like in the past in the perspective of the lives the Mother and Father are living. There are times where it is funny and happy too. Episode 6 mainly is the one that will make one the saddest, you will know why when you watch without looking at spoilers.
The story goes back and forth from the past to the present (2005 iirc) and back to the past etc. to also give you some contrast (and similiarity) on what the Daughter is going through in her life in the modern times. This drama shows the realistic side of certain things that one experience in the past as compared to the present. There could also be alittle bit of unrealistic element (due to the odds of not able to see yourself in real life situation but it does not mean they don't actually exist somewhere)
There are 4 Volumes. Volume 1 and Volume 2 ended "happy".
It's definitely worth a watch if you are into a more realistic life experiences and something heavy, sentimental, emotional.
This drama don't deserve downvotes from people who cannot understand or enjoy such genre just because they are not into it.
I know this drama ain't one of the best works as compared to like popular "When Life Gives You Tangerines" etc. but this is the most funny kdrama I have watched in 2025.
Mood wise is very light to watch this if you want a break from heavy emotional dramas.
They say KTO deserves better script, but imo this is his own choice and I think he is doing a good job in his character here.
The plot may seem like it lack sense because not many would understand the depth of potatoes but it opens up the mindset of understanding something important of an organic food supply as compared to usual office ladies working corporate jobs seen in usual kdrama.
Some says FL character lack self respect or unable to stand on her own ground but imo her character is quite interesting like what ML said. She is typically loud and usually her words ain't very nice, but deep down she is actually very kind and nice person as there are many things she do she doesn't have to announce to the world on her unseen actions, she just do it because she is passionate about something. Even if she gets misunderstood, at times she just gradually accept it because certain things you do is not because you needed to justify why you do them in order to be able to be recognized as undisposable for example. It's like detailing having a resume with very good and commendable things you did in your past jobs just to have better recruitment or headhunters for better career as the motive, but in this case the FL did her own thing without ever detail listing what she is doing in her current job and it seem ambiguous and non-essential by an outsider. She just do what she wants and needs to do without an intentional motive to be seen or recognised by others. Her goal is only to have a potato variant to be named after her. It's not easy, but day to day on what needs to be done to protect potatoes she just keep doing even it's not her job scope, and that's intriguing.
I am definitely not someone whom can do that because we know how important business transaction is in this modern world, so I actually can enjoy this besides the comedy.
Does anyone know if Park Bo Gum only shows up as young Gwang shik? Because it seems obvious that now that the…
PBG only cast as YGS. It's only possible for IU to recast as YGM as they are related. In real life there's definitely cases where a child look exactly like 1 parent.
However, the soldier boy has similar personality as YGS character, despite not being PBG.
This is a comment by someone named Jecin regarding on this drama:
"It's not unrealistic. My grandparents were living proof. And being honest my grandpa treated my grandma better than this kdrama. He was a strict reserved man in general and had an intimidating aura so people in general would be very respectful to him, despite that he babied my grandma. Even in his 70s he would hand feed her, (she wasn't physically or mentally sick or anything, he did out of love), he'd notice what she wore even in their elderly age, complicated her everyday I saw it, wouldn't let anyone talk down on her, put her shoes on with his hand even in his elderly age, she'd fall asleep first he'd hang the mosquito net, adjust her blanket. These are all I've seen with my eyes. From my mom I've heard he was always this caring for her. And that she was into reading so he'd buy her books and took interest in her hobbies, he taught her how to use a gun because she was interested in, he taught her things she wanted to learn. It wasn't just that he was just nice to her and made her live in luxury, he did, but beyond that he actually made her seen heard understood and he actually noticed her interests encouraged and taught. Mom said grandma once got so sick and was in hospital and that grandpa was crying in the hospital and praying that half of his life is given to her. That's love. When grandpa died my grandma said who's gonna care for me like him. She said he never not even once treated her wrong. I once asked her who's her favourite person, she could say it's her mom or dad or one of her children but her answer was him. I can't describe it on text but when I said he was better than the kdrama he actually was. And my mom and her siblings still say he was the best dad they could have. If a man wants to he does. It's not unrealistic. He was a living proof that it's not unrealistic. Sadly I've never seen any other man treat their wives like him, but I'm sure there are men out there probably just rare but they exist."
Usually when I watch something sad that hits hard, the best that I can get is when my eyes get teary as I try to hold it there and I will be fine quite soon after
But Episode 6 made my tears drop to my nose. Park Bo Gum did really well this one, double teary combined at both his kneeled scenes and this is by far the first time since a very long time I can't even recall I had such experience
Idk why but I didn't even feel as much when I first saw what happened to Dong but it only came when Gwan Sik kneeled and again when he did that after filling up the form. 🥺
The blend of unrealistic yet realistic elements at the same time was absolutely beautiful.
Treating the love of your life's body as precious than your own, working really hard even as painful as it gets but it was all for the family you love without complaints. It was really touching so far, especially seeing how the FL has changed in her character development when she became a mum herself

But solid acting and story telling from everyone so far.

LOL 😍🤣
He is acting as a support character here
But Episode 6 made my tears drop to my nose. Park Bo Gum did really well this one, double teary combined at both his kneeled scenes and this is by far the first time since a very long time I can't even recall I had such experience
Idk why but I didn't even feel as much when I first saw what happened to Dong but it only came when Gwan Sik kneeled and again when he did that after filling up the form. 🥺
Episode 3 was hilarious
The matching is exactly what I predicted except for Na Heul's choice which I didn't expect.
No in terms of who he is as a kid
Yes in terms of his occupation identity
