Spring and Summer with a life!

Starts with a peek to the present day and gives us exclusively the background for the whole drama! This drama is everything its meant to be. It provides reality of asian households in 60s and struggle of women along with the fight they have to put. It provides us the warmth with the dream and struggle of reaching it and settling with a dream of family and children.

Its also sassy in a way the love story is approached giving us sadness and also while being chaotic shows the importance of family in those time for protecting the dream of a children especially girls who were forced to work in household unlike boys who were loved and given every freedom. This is just not a drama but a peek into reality of that time, sometimes it gives sadness and sometimes it provides warmth.

IUs acting double role stands out the most and her chemistry with all the casts mainly the newer episodes with older aesun and gwansik where it feels more and more relatable! PBG did wonderful job as his portrayal of gwansik!

If you love real heartfelt story this one is for you be ready for emotional roller coaster!
