The main couple were a mess, but the gay couple on this show made it a great show. Wonseok was just a regular character and a regular person, who became a support system for someone who was just understanding their sexuality. His patience and understanding was above all else in this drama. Cha In ha, thank you so much for making your last character so meaningful and an important representation. His partner, ho dol, was also great representation and a strong individual. Also, I just adore the siblings moment for the Joo family! So precious! The older brother, Wonjae, really loved his siblings and would do anything for them. If you watch it more for the family, its much better.

After more than 200 dramas and over 100 asian films, the plot of this drama has become my all time favorite. While I've been on this website for a long time and I've been watching asian dramas and films for over 8 years, I've never felt compelled to write a review. But for this drama, I will. I will watch this drama probably every year, and listen to most of the osts in replay for the next three months. This cast couldn't have been more ideal, the acting was superb, and seriously those damn ost are so goooood! I never skipped one second of this drama (and trust me now a days I skip a lot). Also lets talk about the scenery cause damn every second was beautiful! everyone worked really hard and it shows. So sad its over but I'm glad it happened.

I started with drama with good hopes, since it was the much awaited return of queen kim tae hee and I adored lee kyu hyung in Prisons playbook. With our current global situation, I needed a feel good drama with comedy, and this did its job. It became a routine for me on the weekend to watch this drama, a routine I crave so much. However, I did not realize how much I love this drama until the second to last week of its run. When I realized that it was ending, I was really disappointed. This drama was just so darn funny, and puts into perspective how beautiful everyday interactions are. Now just to tell ya, it's about to get real. During the run of this drama, my family was heavily impacted by covid-19. It got to the point that I wish it was I who had the virus, and not my mom. Every night, I would pray that my mom would be alright, and that if anyone had to go, it would be me. Now in this last weekend of this drama, my mom has made a full recovery and those strong feelings went to the back of my head. However, seeing how it was the mom's prayers that brought Yuri back with borrowed time, and Ganghwa pleading it be him instead of Yuri or his daughter brought back those feelings. I felt like my desperation is real and common, and warranted. With the two lasts episodes, I felt validated and understood, and in these trying times that lack warmth and proper interaction, it was something I desperately craved. Though there were aspects that I wished were developed further, I am very thankful to this drama for allowing to cry and move on to a new day, with lighter heart. Basically, if you have a guardian figure that you love, you'll appreciate this drama a whole lot. Sorry for the spoilers!
