Give me tangarines not lemons!

This is one of those kdramas that you can either only say a few words about or write a whole essay, though i’ll try to find the latter as I write about it.

Once again, IU. Holy shit dude. She’s amazing.
Every show i’ve watched that featured IU has left me speechless each time. The way she conveys her emotions is truly something special, I genuinely believe IU is a better actress than some of the actual actresses. Seriously, what can’t she do?

This story is a mother daughter centered show, though it’s also about lovers, dads and siblings. So many themes are explored and yet the biggest one that left its lingering scar behind was the grief of it all.

I cannot express how many times this show has made me cry. Good, bad, painful, sorrowful. The actors made you feel everything they felt and yet somehow you knew that whatever that character felt is something you could never feel on the same level as them.

This will leave you wanting to call up your mom and dad and tell them how much you love and appreciate their sacrifices for you. It’ll make you ponder about your grandchildren and hope that once its your time to pass, your grandchildren will look after your child in their old age.

Wonderful show. Truly. From beginning to end, each story was unfolded in its own pace and has wrapped itself up perfectly.

IU and Bogum’s chemistry is admirable.

However as I compliment this show, I have to say I will never rewatch this show again lol… It has tugged at my heart one too many times, I’ve exhausted myself watching it.

One time watch but it’s worth it.
