I loved the acting. Song Ji Hyo does crying scenes so well and I love Lee Sun Kyun, he is one of my favorite ahjussi actors. Even the side characters were great. I love Lee Sang Yeob from Running Man and he was just as funny and cute here. I loooved Kwon BoA who I didn't realize was THE BoA until I saw the cast!!! Kim Hee Won's character was trash but he played it so well! And Ye Ji Won is a queen! My favorite though was baby Kim Kang Hoon 🥺🥺
The characters were written really well. Very flawed and real.
The story was good up until the end where *spoiler* the main couple got divorced for no reason other than the wife wanted to because she felt guilty. And then just as it was shown that the husband was moving forward, they got back together? It felt like that was just added to stretch the story more, which was annoying. This drama already had fewer than usual episodes (12 instead of 16) and yet they needed to add fillers. It could have ended at episode 10. The side stories were awesome though! Ah Ra's revenge arc and Jun Young, Bo Yeong couple 👌🏻
The direction & production was so bad. I wouldn't have noticed it a few years back, but now I do notice such stuff and it felt like the directors and editors just could not decide which style they wanted to go with. They switched so many styles in a single scene that it got annoying.
Overall it was a good watch. Worth it for the life lessons and baby Joon Soo.
