Live in Style is pretty much a generic 50+ episode Korean family drama.

It focuses on 4 siblings raised by their mother and focuses on all their stories and relationships with others. At times it is funny, sad, heart-warming and frustrating in equal measures.

I enjoyed the romance and relationship stories of all of the siblings to varying degrees. I disliked both of the mothers depicted in this drama. One was a selfish attention seeking manipulative shrew and the other a self-sacrificing martyr. Both got on my nerves and I had the least sympathy for the mothers even though one of them was playing a “sympathetic “role I didn't really care about her by the end of the drama.

The best character for me was Na No Ra at the beginning of the drama I loathed her & by the end she was my favourite. Her character development was wonderful to watch.

I have seen better family dramas than Live In Style (Smile You/Ojakgyo Brothers/My Daughter Seoyoung) saying that this is still well worth a watch. The characters and the story were engaging enough to hold my attention.

I tend not to re-watch dramas so that mark is always low for me.

The music/score wasn't really memorable.

This was Yoon Se In's first drama out of 3 and it seems she quit acting I wonder why? Anyway, the 20 episodes had a good build up and put the story in a good place but unfortunately it tumbled on itself and didn't get anywhere. The story fell flat and none of the bigger events had much weight. The story changes randomly to suit the writer without meaningful justification/resolution and some are just cut off without a mention. Like the breakups/reconciliations happening or that raging son or the orphan one.
