This series was the epitome me of a family drama. I must repeat, a family drama. The series revolves around a father who raised his children along with the help of his sister. These children are now adults and it explores their family dynamics. One of the things I found very interesting is that they talk about the care that was given to the children but it also exposes the lack of possible discipline. I will be honest I enjoyed the last half of the series because the first half was extremely disheartening and I found it hard to watch. Don’t get me wrong it wasn’t awful but watching nearly 25 episodes of adult children being disrespectful, ungrateful and inconsiderate to the person who raised them was not an ideal drama for me. It most certainly winters off from the typical crazy in life but this portrayal of a family dynamic honestly was even worse than the rude, abusive and somewhat psychotic in law. It was terrible behavior.
I really enjoy the second half because reality of life began to sit in and there were definitely more positive that took place. What I like most about the series was that it displayed love in his various forms whether it be by supporting someone, loving someone, providing for them or merely encouraging them. It was portrayed well. And the acting of Yang Hee Kyung (the aunt) was top notch. I honestly cried while watching this star. Literally.
The series was good. It had some happy, infuriating and sad moments.
What I did not like about the series was that the reason for the level of disrespect from the oldest son was never explained or at least I never got a clear understanding of it. He was rude to such a degree that I don’t even know if I’ll be able to watch him in any other shows. He was just that shameful. His behavior was the worst and it was just overlooked. For me he wasn’t redeemed in this series. It was just blown away. In addition to that it was a little long and the amount of happy was very very minimal.

I rated it a rated it a seven because the series had an amazing lesson in it and the cast members did an amazing job with their acting. And I really mean they did an amazing job. The plot was really good and in truth it was somewhat relatable. I took off three stars simply because it seemed to lack clarity as to why or how the children became how they were. Someone showed up and disappeared without us knowing the truth to their claim, leaving mr wandering. I also felt it some of the logic was missing (although not too much).
Would I recommend it? Yes if you’re looking for a lengthy family drama.
Would I watch it again? Probably not it was a little too drawn out and at times uneventful.
What is it a romantic vibe to it? Some but not that much.
Did I get a warm and fuzzy watching it? I did not.
Was it a good ending? The ending was redeeming
Did I cry? Like a waterfall.
Were there crazy in-laws? Yep
