slice of life family drama

●HOW I CAME TO IT
I am a huge Jung Hae In fan, with this 54 episode family drama I thought I could have quite a peek of my cutie pie, but I got to see a drama narrated by a woman who had been living as a housewife leaving her job, caring for her family. it might seem like drama for old people but that's not true it has all the youngsters getting guide from their parents and elder.

●STORY
This drama is narrated by Han Hye Gyung, the youngest daughter-in-law of the Yoo family. She lives with her in-laws and has cared for them. She has cooked three meals every day, looked after her three children, husband, mother in law and father law and the elders patiently. As the days pass and she is approaching the age of 60 major changes are happening which not only affect her but her family as well.

●PLOT VIEW
The joyous of living in a joint family. This drama has a slice of life, every plot seems felt like I have seen it in real life. While going through the journey of Hye Gyung, I thought it to be painful, but after some time I realized she chose that life. While many would think she didn’t get anything in return, staying in a joint family has its perks. When Hye Gyung had problems, mother in law always gave her some meaningful advice. The children respected their family and the good upbringing showed in their behavior. Whenever the elder argued the youngster would slip out of the room. I usually 2x the speed during arguments which made the dialogues and gestures funny rather than angry like the squeaking of a squirrel.
All the relationships were beautiful, but a few of my favorites were Ji sun with her father in law, Se Hee's relationship with Jae Hyun.
Unlike any family, this series also Se Hyun and Se Joon as brothers had less bonding than the others. Se Hyun looks down on his brother, but still, he was not bad at heart. And Se Joon(Jung Hae In) dreams of becoming a traveler but got entwined in a romantic relationship, why was he not able to focus. Thankfully the parents understood and supported him.

The cousins had friendly relationships and were always there for each other. Of course, the bad side is they sometimes get into some private matters was annoying but perks come with some disadvantages.
The wide range of blind dates of Yoo So Hee was hilarious scenes.
Yoo Ri was clumsy and kind but honestly, I didn’t like her character, it always felt like she is faking it.
The three brothers had quite a bonding, and they supported each other during the low times. That credit goes to the grandmother, Kim Sook Ja who took care of every matter positively and neatly.
Hye Gyung had maintained her friendship with her friends and I liked the fact they met every month, having some good time off their routine.

The only thing I didn’t like about the show was getting the single ones married. Also why grandfathers wanted to live alone, during old age shouldn't they live with their children and grandchildren.
The ending was fine but felt rushed, cause there were many loose bits left untied. But later on, I found that the episode was cut down by the channel.

●ACTING/CAST
Everyone did an excellent job and I get touched with everyone.
Hye Gyung (Kim Hae Sook) I had always seen her as a mother of leads, but her emotions narrated this series, which showed me a very different perspective of her. She had very simple yet powerful acting skills.
Yoo Se Joon (Jung Hae In) was eye candy and being the youngest of family, he seemed troublesome but he sorted out his life diligently. he played his life character with that innocent face like a pro.
I didn’t like Lee Na Yeong(Nam Gyu Ri) because her laugh felt so much weird. I just ringed in the ear. I didn’t like the big-mouth aunt.

●MUSIC
I didn’t catch any OST if it's present, and BGM was also minimal. I liked that there was a natural tone to the scenes. i

●REWATCH
I would watch some of my fav scenes but watching it fully maybe not.

●APPRECIATION
Teaches us lots of valuable lessons about life. How we should appreciate having elders who are there to guide us with their knowledge and wisdom.

●FAV SCENE
Se Joon telling about his dream of becoming a traveler to his mother, father, and grandmother.

●QUOTES
If your children hurt you and don’t listen to you when they want to follow their own path and don’t do as you choose, think of them as a faraway relative @Grandmother
Every true love comes from compassion, love without compassion is selfishness
