This drama was emotional, heartfelt, and genuinely moving. I cried a lot. It does a really good job of pulling you into the characters’ lives, especially the family dynamics. That’s easily where it shines the most.

But outside of the emotional impact… it falls short.

There’s barely any real closure. For a story built around relationships, it’s frustrating that there are no proper goodbyes or meaningful farewells, especially between the son and his parents in the past. It just feels unfinished.

The plot also drags at times, particularly with the unnecessary love triangle that goes on way too long and contradicts what we’re told about the parents’ relationship. It didn’t add anything meaningful.

And the ending? Honestly, it just didn’t work for me. Yes, it’s emotional - but it’s also rushed and kind of hollow. He gets thrown back into the present, and all that trauma he experienced is just… his to carry alone. No real resolution, no proper payoff. It feels like the story just stops instead of actually ending. ML worked so hard in the past and the payoff is... their ultra rich now and he is famous?

I wanted something more - maybe even just a special episode to tie everything together.

In the end, it’s a drama that excels at making you feel something, and makes you think about what your parents were like before they became your parents, but struggles to follow through in a satisfying way.
