This is totally worth a watch.

I started this only because it was filmed in my homeland, but it's just not good. Dropped after five episodes. Every character was just so unlikeable, each and every one of them.

You're not wrong. And then a whole new plotline from literally nowhere just for the last half an hour. No, the ending is all over the place.

If you dont mind historicals then you have Warrior Baek Dong Soo.

Not overrated. It's just not as perfect as people who love it sometimes insist. But it is still a wonderful piece of television, flaws and all, and deserves all the love and praise it gets.

Nice short one, solid cast, interesting story. I'm sure more people would appreciate it if they knew it exists.

Yes please. Give me all the peace-loving, calm, non-toxic love interests. Rookie Historian did it, this can do it too. Fingers crossed.

I did not expect to like Rookie Historian so much, but it's a clear ten from me. At last, a love interest that is a decent human being and not an arrogant jerk. I enjoyed every minute of this. Very well put together, overall. Loved the ending. Even the comic relief was actually funny. Good stuff, good stuff.

I do understand why people would find not dedicating any time at all on Seri's biological mother frustrating. But I'm glad they did not. They make it such a huge deal because it is important to the characters of Seri's mom and Seri herself. It's fundamental to where they come from and how they develop. It explains the traumatic experience Seri had in her childhood, which was so formative for her. It is also used to show how loving and warm Seri's true nature was, as manifested when she was small, which she had to learn to connect with all over again as a grown-up.
An explanation would be derailing from the main plot by a lot, since it would be a whole new sideplot and very much irrelevant to the main one. Soo Hyun's cameo was just fun, neither here nor there, they could afford that.

All of this is kind of irrelevant for the story though.
Also, Seri's real mother is the one she grew up with, the one we see in the drama. She was not a good mother, but she was very much real and at the end they manage to find a way to have a relationship.
Great choice by the writers, in my opinion. Seri may decide to look for her biological mother, but that's a story for another day.

I would call it a bittersweet ending.

The last episode was a chore to watch. Such a pity, it was an overall rather pleasant drama otherwise.

A few fighting scenes here and there.

I'm sorry, I know that you get it (I've read the other comments), I just wanted to clarify the ''when was her hair dark'' part, since it was the one thing you seemed to wonder about. Again, sorry if I ended up just repeating something you already knew,
Have a great time with your current watch :)

The look on both his and his wife's face the whole time she was calling them mom and dad... omg.

She got altsheimers gradually, until one day whe woke up very confused and started calling her son and his wife ''dad and mom''.
A little time passed, she got worse and one day she disappeared (the ''rescue''), they found her and keep her at the hospital.
She regains some lucidity thanks to medication and realizes what really happened.
From the point when she started believing she was 25, until she regained some clarity in the hospital, she was still living with her son, and that's when she dyed her hair, went to him with lunch and defended him from the bullies, asked his forgiveness crying over his leg, etc.

It's not being fooled. It puts you as a viewer in a place where you question what you have just watched, just like alzheimers patients question their own thoughts and memories. This is why people are being blown away. A whole new way of telling a story, appropriate to the story's main issue.
That doesn't mean that everyone has to love it, of course.

Thank you.

This one, together with Once Upon a Time on a Battlefield, are amazingly hillarious anti-war comedies. The psychological warfare/taunting scenes in both of them are priceless. And they do throw a cow with a catapult, Monty Python-style.
