Controversial opinion but I enjoyed the love story between Ae-Sun’s daughter Yang Geum-myeong, the military guy, Park Yeong-Bum and the artist, Park Chung-seob. I feel it was more developed and happened more linearly whereas Ae-suns and Gwansik happened way to quickly and there was no real development to them getting together. I personally don’t see the hype with this one, maybe it’s just the genre as it isn’t something I usually venture into. I really tried giving this one a go but after a while the characters became tiresome. Especially Ae-sun she’s so whiny and annoying! Gwansik changes so much from the beginning to when he’s an adult, his personality changes to the point where it feels like an entirely different character. The story felt way to melodramatic and just using it as a way to make people feel something. It really repetitive and annoying the fact that so many characters kept dying, I understand why it’s added but it got to the point where I couldn’t care less who it was. Ae-Sun & Gwansik aren’t the best parents either they completely sideline their youngest son not caring about him at all, whereas the oldest daughter gets the most attention and the best treatment. The flashbacks to present to past got really tedious too, the show would’ve been so much better if it just stayed linearly instead of jumping back and forth between the four decades. This drama just feels like another overhyped kdrama that’s really not worth watching.
