I feel like you should go into it without any expectations-- mine were WAY too high and I probably would've enjoyed…
I think besides the slice of life that this drama does really well is the underrated romance. The dialogue and romantic intrigues are really well done.
1) Yes, the money is used to build the canal2) Yes (for a short while)3) No! They will come back :D
The heartbreak in the drama is made up by the good endings (for most characters that deserve it, but not all). I think the drama wouldn’t be as good without the range of fortune for the characters.
One of my many many many favorite parts: in ep 40 HZ’s father’s expression when they said 4th Uncle and wife wanted to raise a girl just like HZ so they were traveling the world. 😂
I can’t move on from this drama yet, still rewatching it from beginning to end, and repeating many favorite scenes, like the reunion scene in 40. 💖
