soothing family slice of life

that's a good show, if you are tempted give it a try!
the story is about parents who are tired for not having grand-children. they agree to give a huge reward to their first son getting married. they have 3 sons and even the oldest (40 yo) is still single. so you get to discover how this 3 sons are finding love in their own way. it's almost like Korean's lessons about how to date at 40, at 35 and at 25.

I like it because there is not much dramas, it stages deep thoughts about ageing, adoption, children, parents, marriage, divorce and friendship. most of the characters are sympathetic, and the romantic relations are just touching. I finally appreciated not be able to watch 3/4 episodes in a row because let's be honest, it's exhausting. and even if the series is still going, I like the journey.
my favorite couple is the middle son's one.

I wrote this review on episode 26 while the drama was still airing: this is my feelings after the end of the show:

everything is really nice until episode 37. our assumption on MDL's discussions is that the writer wanted to please the public and give more screen time to soojung (park ji young). she is an amazing actress, she deserved more time from the beginning, and above all, her story is the very foundation of the drama's story. so, it's understandable, but it ruined the drama. things will then become hectic and messy and the end of the drama feels shortened. this is still a good show I would recommend to anyone into family's slice of life.

the experience of watching it and commenting on MDL was also very fun because each one had his favorites characters and we were just arguing as if they were true people. this too I would recommend. next time, let's watch an airing drama together!
