If It’s Deep, Yeonriri (2026)

nothing standard though nothing special

We have here a non-standard Korean family drama. It is non-standard because none of the typical Korean trops are present and because it displays a critical view on some parts of the current Korean social problems. It has a slightly psychological and social note, yet nothing is excessive or too strong. The comedy part is also very refrained, in my opinion it was intentionally kept like this. After a slow start (that matches well the remaining of the story), I had the feeling that the story is written with very much love . As usual, camera work and direction are highly professional. The best are the actors, very experienced ones but also the fresh ones are doing an excellent work, even if they do not get much air time. I would be very glad to see soon again the smile of Choi Gyu Ri in a main role.

I can imagine that, due to the reserved tone, non-standard themes and absence of the hyped actors, the ratings would remain a lot under the true value of this good work.

Simple, Sweet and mix bag of Emotions

Cabbage Your Life is a light and emotionally driven Korean drama that delivers warmth through its simple storytelling and relatable characters. It focuses on the beauty of ordinary life, meaningful relationships, and emotional connections that slowly grow over time.

The strongest part of the series is its heartfelt moments and the chemistry between the cast, which keeps the story engaging. There are several touching moments that make you smile and appreciate the little things in life. While the drama may not offer many unexpected twists or highly intense scenes, it makes up for that with comfort, emotions, and a calm viewing experience.

However, the series occasionally loses momentum, and some parts feel stretched longer than necessary and a few story arcs could have been explored more deeply. Still, the emotional depth and sincerity of the drama leave a pleasant impression.

Overall, Cabbage Your Life offers a comforting and enjoyable experience . It may not be unforgettable, but it provides enough heart and emotion to make it a worthwhile watch.
