Masterpiece satire of adult and teen life, really fun

This kdrama is super sophisticated. First, the filming, the music, the acting, the scenes, everything is done with amazing creativity, precision and quality. It is a masterpiece.

Most importantly, this kdrama is an exaggerated and metaphorical view of adult and teen life, and requires ability to laugh at oneself, as it shows us what we are really like. The dialogues and scenes are profound.

Mad Concrete Dreams is not exactly like this. It is also a snowballing disaster but ... it is based on greed, and not so loving as this drama :)

This drama shows "decent families" that protect each other and care for each other, and just have a few problems :) You get to see the snowballing chaos caused by a spoiled brat teenager, who is lying to their caring - and faulty - parents :)

The theme of this drama is realistic family life, with all its crises and patches... No matter what happened, each family ends up as a strong unit.

So this drama requires audience that has life experience and ability to think and laugh at itself and life. Ppl who do not have that, will likely give this drama a low rating

Imo this is 9 or 9.5/10 drama - and not a 10 only because it is without meaningful SOLUTIONS. It is only "fun," only a satire, it lacks the deep lasting profound life-lesson messages/solutions required for a 10 star drama.

For solutions, we need another drama from this crew :)
