Beautifully written, dear friend! And I absolutely second this: " I love finding character driven stories, great female characters -and best of all- female driven plots❤"
A heartwarming story of a special bonding/friendship between a tough old lady and a clumsy, kind-hearted middle-aged divorced man, both estranged from their children, who find comfort and strength in each other's company.
An insightful and mature approach of infidelity and its consequences between a couple and their families relationships, as well as their friends and working environment. At the same time, this exciting, mysterious, elegant, bittersweet, female-centered drama successfully managed to tackle many aspects of a working woman's life, such as: motherhood, spouse conflicts and trust issues, career expectations and ambitions, sexual harassment, sismance.
Quirky, morally gray and unique story, with some disturbing, some frustrating, some touching moments, a lot of dark humor and exceptional acting, especially from Yoo Ah In and the kid actresses. Yoo Ah In, even though he doesn't have a single line, he's spot-on (as usual) in this challenging role: though he's unable to express himself vocally he does so through his body language and facial micro-expressions in a fascinating way!
A wonderful, refreshing drama, with a unique, totally unexpected plot, great humor, sensitivity and life lessons for new moms and moms-to-be. Relatable characters, situations, problems and frustrations - I'm sure all moms did find something familiar: happy, loving memories they want to remember or embarrassing, painful moments they want forget... A great watch and time well-spent :)
A 'documentaristic', full of wonderful forest and rural scenery introduction to the life, tradition and rituals of the Ainu indigenous people, through the eyes of a young orphan boy who tries to find his dream and place in between the world of tradition and modern society.
The concept was not something new -there are a lot of second chance stories out there (and I've watched quite a few of them)-, but it turned out to be an entertaining family oriented drama with lots of heartwarming and funny moments, as well as a refreshing rom-com with some cheesy moments and lots of fun-service. Convincing acting, well-supporting music, satisfying ending and no annoying characters to introduce unnecessary frustration resulted in a feel-good drama that it's worth giving a try :)
A bittersweet, subtle story exploring family relationships, distancing and bonding, through the eyes of an oversea student that returns home for summer vacations and faces a family that has drifted apart. But, while drastic unfamiliar changes keep happening, he soon realises that family bonding is stronger than it seems and its dynamic is always reestablished.
