Retro cool drama!
What a Cast! What a Story!
It’s an old drama so actors have a retro hair style and old-school outfits. They walk and run around the island a lot. They smoke cigarettes and often lost their phones. The weather is sunny and windy, the ocean is shining, it’s an exciting trip due south of Korea.
It’s a beautiful, heartwarming, well played family story, but it also a melodrama and sliced of life, with a bit absurd humor. It’s so beautiful that it took my breath away.
Every protagonist has a flaw: Jang Hyuk is a jerk, Gong Hyo Jin is dumb and irresponsible, Shin Sung Rok is greedy bad boy, Ryu Seung Soo at this time is not a gangster, but eventually everyone reveals the other, deeper face. The busiest is 8 years old actress Seo Shin Ae who has a lot of lines to recite.
The pace is rather slow but never boring, because it’s for presenting the multidimensional relationship between members of family and neighborhood, especially around the little girl Bom. The character of Gong Hyo Jin is so dumb and pushover that not only you are nervous about it but also other protagonists, they were nagging her: be impudent! Be brazen! Don’t be silly! But some episodes later you start to wonder what is important and value in life? To be clever and cunning? Really?
There is the most interesting kaleidoscope of characters I have recently seen in dramas: Mr Lee – about his character you can write a book! Budda-nim – the worried matchmaker, the first and eternal love of innkeeper, the scenes with them are just wonderful.
If you like other dramas of screenwriter Lee Kyung Hee “Chocolate” or “I’m Sorry I Love You” – you may love this one too. This reminds me “When Camellia Blooms” in both there is a single mother played by Gong Hyo Jin, at the small village near the ocean, and in both the bright star is a child actor!
If you want to watch something good and classic, watch "Thank You". It’s a Masterpiece. Definitely.
