Lector Caveo = Reader Beware
Found this gem while looking for something else & happy I stopped and watched... This drama puts the M in melodrama without the typical makjang nonsensical acts by focusing on family, loss, change, betrayal and love that swirls around a woman over 50, accompanied by a cast of mature actors. The acting by the two leads was FAB and the onscreen chemistry was smoldering for these over 50 actors. The overall storyline was powerful and insightful how they dealt with numerous "isms" facing families &friends especially the portrayal of the transgender story. Many topics are touched here, however the underlying is the need of love-acceptance by & of family, lovers, men, women, transgender, tall, thick, etc... regardless of age or size.
Why watch? If you are looking for a solidly written storyline with actors who are 50+ this drama will resonate. If you have a large family with lots of drama & characters, this drama will resonate. If you need to see actors not trying to act HS or silly, this story will resonate.
The music was perfectly aligned to the mood and style of drama - nothing special YET it accentuated perfectly.
Would I watch again? Hard to get those 36eps done YET I somehow will miss this drama and the characters. Lastly, have tissues ready. This drama brings tears of sadness & joy thus many tissues-alternatively you will grin for the Mr Kim when he comes home from his first date. In the drama land, youth reigns however this story & actors affirmed that love comes in many shapes, colors, ages and genders. I can only hope that we see more quality drama like this for many of us who are believe in second starts in life.

Disappointing

The production seems to be as bare-bones as they could come from the 2000s. A drama can still be functional even with the roughest cuts if other aspects held up which, unfortunately, isn't the case here. The writing was a big sloppy mess, incoherent, disconnected from reality and unbelievably corny, especially the older cast. The drama ended up with too many loose ends, these plot threads left untouched despite constantly building them up throughout the drama. For example, the story constantly hinted that Yoon Young and her husband were going to have marital problems and that was going to be their story but we never got to that point, making all the scenes including them leading up to that moment completely redundant. The writing definitely affected the cast's performance. You may have been excited to see the leads to be different from the typical young-blood dolled up faces but they don't bring much to this specific project, in fact, it's embarrassing to watch them here when you they're definitely more capable than that. They were in their 50s at the time but were acting like the typical shy 20s boy-girl for their romantic scenes. Speaking of cast members, I ALWAYS hated how Kim Hye Ok sounds when she screams or cries but this drama turned it up to 11. You may or may not develop tinnitus from the unbelievable intense screeching.

There was a transgender subplot and let's just say that the drama handled it as you would imagine Korean writers would do. The drama may seems promising from the surface but it's a big let down.
