Why watch 'Happiness'?

If you are tired of all the cliche and showy K-Dramas out in the market, this is the K-Drama for you. I think love stories are inevitable in K-Dramas. It will be the core of the story in most cases, but what I loved about this series was how the leads' love story progressed subtly. Their starting point was cliche, but it didn't take the path of love story progression usually taken by most K-Dramas. I loved how the series centered on Sae Bom and Yi Hyun's reel and one-sided love to a real relationship but, at the same time, is not explicitly expressed. There are times when you have to ponder on their actions and be quick-witted and keen-eyed. There may be some plot holes, but I think it's for the story's sake (though it really makes you sometimes cringe, HAHAHA). If you do not mind apocalyptic genres and blood, I recommend watching' Happiness.' It's a refreshing K-Drama showing how small and subtle actions express one's love for their loved ones.
