Slice of life with no easy answers to life's questions
This slice-of-life style drama feels very real. The three siblings approaching middle-age, disenchanted with their careers and love lives, feel stuck in their small town and want to break free, so "liberation" is a personal goal for each of them. Bittersweet in many ways, with hints of happiness throughout, even in the tiniest doses. I enjoyed the brother's story-line the most, his highly-strung philosophical rants about life and love are truly insightful. Learning to accept one's fate and realizing that there is a good reason, or at least an important reason, for you to be where you are right now struck a chord with me.My complaints involve the story structure, but I think that was the main idea of the entire drama - that life can happen in bursts, and not necessarily with any reason to back it up. Great acting and a mostly quiet tone throughout.

I appreciate the morality nuance of the entire series, and the large cast of characters that have their own hidden depths (though their comedy can be a bit broad). Their chemistry is on point, and unexpected deaths (no spoilers) were genuinely shocking ("they really went there, no hesitation!"). I would have liked more nuance in the female villain, as much as we got with the other lawyer and especially the villain's brother.
Absolutely loved it.
