Everyone Has an inner Struggle
Finished watching this show last night and while I felt the last 2 episodes were a bit rushed, everything was wrapped up.
The two young leads were excellent, with Mi-Ji having a more meaty role. All the supporting cast did a great job and added their own parts to the story.
Basically no one is perfect, every person & family have their own struggles. What may appear on the outside as perfect once seen from inside shows the fractures.
I also enjoyed seeing when anyone was too down, a friend or family member would support them. You also re-evaluate what is 'family'. Is it only by blood, time together etc.
Things I didn't like were obvious gaps in the story, like why would the daughter (Mi-Ji) not introduce her mother to the woman she spent multiple episodes helping (Rosa Restaurant). There was also the mother having preference for Mi-Rae as she was 'successful' yet didn't know her struggles and how unhappy she was.
I also was hoping Ho Su's mother would have some re-connection to her family. That was pretty harsh and I admire her will to be a 'mother' to a young boy she barely knew. In a way this relationship showed no matter how broken a relationship is (mother - son) the will of love can overcome.
Overall this was a solid show and I enjoyed it.
