“Beautiful, but it didn’t fully click for me”

I can see why a lot of people love it but for me it landed somewhere in the middle.

The biggest strengths are the acting, the visuals and the overall nostalgic vibe. The early episodes especially were quite touching and I appreciated the focus on family, quiet love and everyday struggles. You can really feel the effort that went into the production from the soundtrack to the detailed sets.

The drama started to lose me as it went on. The pacing felt uneven, the timeline jumps were sometimes confusing and the story didn’t always feel focused. While the themes were meaningful the execution didn’t fully work for me especially in the second half which felt longer and less engaging than it needed to be.

Overall, it’s not a bad drama but just not one that fully clicked for me. I can see it resonating more with viewers who enjoy slow, reflective, slice of life stories but if you’re expecting something more tightly structured it might feel a bit underwhelming.
