K-Drama 
Emotional ride, but boring second half.
✨ Impressions
I teared up a lot in just the first week — is it just me, or did others feel the same? This drama should include the “healing” tag; it feeds the soul when you need it. The writing is incredible at times, and I found myself enjoying those tearful moments more than I expected.
The grandpa, though he has very limited screen time and dialogue, struck me deeply. He resembles my own father so much that I felt instantly attached — a quiet presence that carried unexpected weight.
⚖️ Critiques
Tone shift: Past the 1/3 show Mone becomes much less cheerful. Her character is written to serious, she even passes the stress to us viewers - especially since the show already lacks comedy. She is more and more like and old baba T_T
Body language: Most interactions feel stiff. They rarely touch each other, even in moments that cry out for warmth. It left me disappointed when emotional scenes stayed physically distant.
Acting habits: I’ve noticed the “praying pose” (hands clasped together - Natsu-san) popping up in several new dramas. It’s overused, looks lazy, and becomes tiresome when repeated every scene.
Music & Atmosphere:
The OST has a handful of great tracks, they have plenty to choose from but I kept getting annoyed by the constant repetition of those two ritual‑like choir songs. Better just listen to the OST collection on spotify.
The last part of the drama really drags — bogged down, predictable, and exaggerated. It leans on melodrama that undercuts the earlier “healing” strength.
🌟 Highlights
As a bonus, we get to see many of the cutest Gen Z actresses gathered in one place:
Mio Imada, Tsunematsu Yuri, Kiyohara Kaya, and Makita Aju.
Mio’s performance especially stands out — she’s fantastic here, easily one of the best, i'll go see her in Anpan right after this.
10⭐ for the first part, 9.5⭐ for middle and 8⭐ for the end
