Sweet and inviting

A great mix of good comedy, cuteness, puppylove (including puppies) some pretty important issues and a great message of friendship, sportsmanship and working with each others strengths so to reach a mutual goal.

The first episode showed really well how childhood poverty affect children as well as how many children purposely stay at home or hide charges for activities from their parents to protect them. thus showing the importance of making activities free of charge (or heavily subsidised) so that children can participate no matter their parents walet.

This drama has a wide range of great relations between, found family, neighbours, teammates, parents etc... all go through quite a bit of character development and are just some the sweetest bunch of characters on screen today. The puppy love is also sweet and innocent, abit heteronormative... but we are kind of used to that (they do insinuate the appearance of a gay couple, but only slightly). Anyway the way they interact did make me feel all fluffy inside and reminisce of childhood days... if I was to complain about someone then I did get annoyed with the dad once or twice but over all his daddy awkwardness made me reflect upon myself...

Another thing i loved about this drama was their guest cast including Kim Seul Gi (and allot of other familiar faces) as well as made references to BTS and Jung Hae In (my favorite actor) both by saying his name and one of the sweetest kids ever being named Yoon Hae In... The kids here as a whole are pretty awesome and put us parents to shame without mimicking the grown up world or acting to mature for that matter.

To be honest not being a big comedy fan myself, I ha this on the Ill see it when I get to it list... But having my friends here on MDL constantly write about it pushed me in to watching it as soon as it became available on Netflix in my region (we often get shows a week after they end airing). My friends deserve a thank you because this show rocked!

So for you who are not sure if you want to see it or not, just go for it! It is allot more than the average fight to achieve my dreams kind of drama and fun to watch for most...
