I love the webtoon so much and I hate how they’ll change the workplace setting.
One: there is nothing wrong with having a teacher for a female lead. There are already a lot of dramas where the female lead is an ordinary office worker. If they want workplace drama for the sake of drama, co-teachers can be just as gossipy and nosy as co-office workers.
Two: her caring for her students will help in easing her doubts on becoming a mother.
Three: male lead has a niece, who is quiet and reserved, in that high school. The female lead and the niece will have a great relationship throughout the story where they will help each other in their family, self, and love issues.
There are always fans and haters in any review of dramas or movies.But you can form your own opinion about this…
I'm sorry you haven't gotten any answer so far 😭
But as someone who blindly watched the first four episodes (without reading the synopsis nor watching the trailer), I am very much invested right now. First episode is devastating and brutal, but also solid and compelling.
Male lead is capable and bad guy is ruthless, so expect games of wits (ML does not know martial arts) and political intrigue. Lots of conversation too. No hint of romance so far.
I do recommend giving it a try if you are in the mood for some serious revenge/political dramas!
A beautiful and heartwarming (but sometimes, bittersweet) story of youth, family, and friendships.
Always Home is a realistic coming-of-age drama that captures the emotional turbulence of growing up. It's realistic in the sense that not every character achieves greatness in a cinematic, triumphant way. Instead, it focuses on the grace of acceptance: of one's limitations (or rather, one's ordinariness), and of life's unpredictability. Not everyone ends up where they thought they would be and that's fine. Some dreams are let go, some friendships drift apart, some loves are unreturned, and some passions are redirected.
The story of loss isn't also romanticized. The grief of losing a parent, having a disability, and getting an illness—these moments are treated with honesty and respect and not merely as dramatic plot devices. It shows the aftermath: the silence, the detachment, and the slow healing. It's heartbreaking and unfortunately, the natural cycle of life.
Fortunately, the characters are lovely and grounded with a solid support system, making this an easy and comforting watch. No matter how much things change, they will always have a home to come back to.

bro casually doing back-to-back guest/support roles in internationally popular dramas. Let’s go, 2025.
Was the 32 episodes too much? Definitely.
Was the business aspect too much? All the talk about loans and interests would speak for themselves.
