if never ending arguments doesn't bother you

my feelings after watching this are sadness and a great feeling of loss. let's find out why:

I love slice of life's stories, and this one is kind of one, except this is a big chunk of slice. you'll get to know approximately all about the life of sanok, mother of 3, wife and daughter. but you'll get to know her trough the eyes of every one around her, from family to neighbors. the main contributor to this testimony is her daughter jinae.
the problem is that this family's greater dynamic is the fight. this show begins with 3 first episodes having an incredible content of fights. it's almost unbearable (it will get better afterwards, be patient). they say harsh words so slightly to each other that it puzzled me! the second dynamic of this family is the lie. they lie to each other all the time! all this stress ends up making sanok ill and die. the entire family got their dynamic changed through this process. the writer managed anyhow to add a happy ending feeling on that, so the sadness experienced through the show isn't crushing.

why I didn't like it and why you shouldn't watch it: as I said, 1- there is too much arguments, words' violence, and lies which shows no human respect. also 2- the story is about a parent dying from illness, and if you experienced it in real life maybe you will not appreciate being remembered of it. I usually don't add spoilers in my reviews but this warning must definitely be given. 3- the feeling of loss about how happier (and healthier) they all would have been if they just watched their mouth in the first place is sometimes overwhelming.

why I liked it and why you should watch it: 1- the actors' performances were really great. 2- even if I don't like arguing people, people are all different and this kind of family does exist. 3- people can change and it's always interesting to witness this transformation. 4- if you feel like you need to cry and your tears need some help. 5- the balance between what I liked and disliked is positive.

when watch this: when you have some time ahead because this 54 episodes' show is addictive and you'll have hard time pausing it. have fun!
