Soul-Crushing Masterpiece

One of the best dramas I have ever seen. This is not a fluffy idol drama. It's a heavy, gritty, captivating masterpiece that crushes your soul. It's a beautify story that realistically portrays the human experience of utter despair surrounding poverty, domestic violence, survival and hope. There are no flaws in this series, everything just hits the mark perfectly.

ACTING:
Steller performances, from the main leads to the entire supporting cast. Raw, genuine acting of human emotions.
PACING:
Only 12 episodes so time was spent effectively. No filler scenes or unnecessary characters. I was pleasantly surprised that even with such a short series, the character development was done so well, each of the characters will leave an impact on you. Every episode ended with a cliffhanger.
MUSIC:
While the songs/music isn't quite memorable, but served very well with each of the scenes.

This drama lingered with me for days. I only gave it 5-stars for the rewatch value because I cannot bring myself to rewatch. It was just too emotional for me.
