To me, this show is one of the greatest attempts in dramaland at poetic realism: life sucks, it's hard and we all struggle, some people more than others though. Nevertheless, in the end there's beauty, also in suffering! Wouldn't the perfect tagline for this drama be: when life throws you lemons... you'd better make lemonade! :D

And I am still raving about how non-dramatically this show portrays immensely dramatic events... and I mean this in a good way. I'd even say it tried to and succeeded in portraying life as it is: with all the no-nonsense struggles, small happy moments, and growingpains of finding your way in this tough world. The two main characters were so endearing with hopes and fears so raw, in such a manner that it's impossible to leave any viewer with a heart untouched. In short, hands in the air and enjoy this emotional rollercoaster ride!

WATCH if you like to cry your eyeballs out and learn some wise lessons about life, DON'T WATCH if you're looking for comedic stress relief!

A splendid overall score of 9.5, just don't think I can ride this rollercoaster again.
