The first word that comes to my mind to define this drama is UNBEATABLE.

STORY: This story about the unconditional (but really unconditional!) love for our family and the bonds we create with the people we care about the most and all of the choices we make in life to stay true to our values and upbringing is told mixing the strongest emotions (love, sadness, happiness, compasion, generosity, pain) in a way you get hooked from the beginning to end enjoying every minute of the 52 episodes.

CAST: is it possible to have all the actors behave so naturally and comfortably with each other that they look like a real family? Yes, because that's what you get with this drama.
Interactions between parents/children, siblings, in-laws... all of them where relationship goals!
Prepare to laugh non-stop, cry a river, and fall in love deeply.

ACTING: if I have to praise each of the actors, I would be writing all day.
Enough to say it's a pleasure to watch every one of them. Each actor created and developed a character that'll remain in our hearts and minds forever. We all know how difficult it is to find a drama where you can like everyone (actually, it was my first time!).

Anyway, it is impossible for me not to mention the actors that, in my opinion, contributed greatly to make this story an addiction for many:

Lee Yoo Ri. No way you're gonna forget her character here... Hye Yeong ruled in every way. A real goddess.

Lee Joon and Jung So Min: They were so good! I put them together because I find a parallelism between these two actors. They are very versatile and take risks with the roles they choose (and yet... they don't always get the recongnition they deserve). In this drama they shine separately and when they interact with each other. It'll be difficult to get over them.

MUSIC: It suited the scenes so perfectly that every song became a classic and an addiction as well.

REWATCH VALUE: here I'll repeat what I put in a comment a couple of eps before the drama ended. "I can watch this drama for the rest of my life.I wouldn't mind spending ep after ep watching this family's daily mundane activities..."
So, yes. It's worth rewatching over and over.

OVERALL: the best drama I've watched and my favourite. I confidently say it's flawless. PERFECT 10.
