yeon doo & sang min couple save the show

I love blended family theme drama. I honestly love seeing 2 families working together to get closer, which takes time and effort.

Let me start by the things I dislike about this drama. (I feel like it's more of a rant than a review so bear with me)

I feel like this drama has the most absurd, most annoying, and most unbearable to watch mother in law in Korean drama history, at least to my knowledge. And yes, I'm talking about Sang Tae's mother Mi Sook. I dislike her so much that I thought about dropping this drama. She's very egoistic, materialistic, two-faced, blabber mouth, and a hypocrite. She knows her son is struggling to move on, and instead of consoling his son or taking him to someone to talk, she just straight up angry and saying harsh words to her son. I get that she's being realistic, but saying harsh words to her wounded son is just cruel and uneducated.
Also, I can't believe that she wants her son to marry a single woman with no children, or even best, with no marriage history. She cannot accept a divorcee with 3 children. Her fricking son is a single father, like what does she expect? She thinks her son is christian grey or something.
Then she ask FL to abandon her own kids in order to marry her son. And as a mother herself, like how can she even think of that? She often says that FL's kids are unacceptable because they're not her son's blood and they have different surnames. Like wtf is this woman thinking? It's not like her son is a chairman of a large corporation, nor she's absolutely rich.

Now let me talk the bright side of this drama, yeon doo and sang min couple, which saves the drama. I feel like I continue this drama because of those two. They're just too cute and I love that the family on both sides are accepting this marriage. I love that it begins with hate and disgust, to actually full on "I can't keep my hands off of you".

Normally, dramas should've left an impression of "It's not enough episode, we need more" or "the episodes is just perfect" but this one, could've been easily be in 32 or less episodes. It's just too draggy. However, if they decided on 54 episodes with 1 hour time frame, they should've included Yeon Doo and Sang Min couple more. Idk maybe bc I only want to see them lovey dovey, instead of draggy mother in law bullshit that nobody wants.

And what is it about trying to gain sympathy for that shitty ex-husband thing? I feel like the writer should not portray the ex-husband as a loving father missing his child. He obviously chose his mistress over his kids, like what is that unnecessary sympathy scenes are for?
