Emotional, Inspiring, and Full of Heart Drama: And great Choi Hyun-wook !
So far, I’ve only had two absolutely perfect K-dramas: this one and *Reply 1988*.
It's definitely worth watching, even just for the character of Ha Lee-chan, one of the most charming and endearing characters I've ever seen. He's charismatic, positive, energetic, simply perfect! Everything about him blends harmoniously: his cheerfulness, tirelessness, immaturity, yet at the same time, his sensitivity, tenderness, and incredible charm. And his actor, Choi Hyun-wook, is just amazing! I’m truly in awe of his performance! He’s a really promising actor, and I will follow his career with great interest. His love story is also very touching, in my opinion, much better and more successful than the main couple’s.
Against his backdrop, his partner Ryeoun shines a little less, but that doesn’t make him bad at all. The female roles are also wonderfully played, especially the energetic Seol In-a, who always knows how to bring brightness and warmth to her character.
As for the story, it’s very touching, showing a son’s perspective on his father and the unique bond they will have to form. It’s also a reflection on family in general, on parents and grandparents (with the magnificent Ko Du-shim) and on what we only understand as we grow older.
The entire cast is excellent, the plot is dynamic, the script is well-written, and the characters are well-developed.
The only small drawbacks the fairytale motif of "Cinderella" with the overly evil mother seemed a bit exaggerated.
Overall, this drama is very touching and proves that in life, we need to fight, despite difficulties, stay positive, and keep going to the end to make our dreams come true.
