If you are looking for a drama that focuses on the importance of family and friendship, this is it.

If you are looking to watch this for the romance storylines, you will be satisified with one, with Bora's and Sun Woo's but the primary romance plot, for me was such a failure.

I really was rooting for Jung Hwan (Ryu Jung Hyeol). Not sure what the writers were thinking. It felt like they were trying to build Taek's (Park Bo Gum) character) character so much to make him look like a big shot and of course the big shot is deserving of the girl and not Jung Hwan. Or so that the interview would make sense, bec otherwise why would anyone interview them if she did not end up with Taek. I really can't see how Deok Sun (Hyeri) could fall for a guy who didn't even know how to tie his shoelaces properly. Taek's helplessnes was not as adorable as they tried to make it out to be in this drama and it really felt like he was looking for more of a mother figure and not a girlfriend.

If Deok Sun had ended up with Jung Hwan, it would have made more sense because they had better chemistry together. Deok Sun and Taek's scenes were so boring for me that I skipped through most of them. While with Deok Sun and Jung Hwan, there was real friction.

But I really like the parent and child storylines here, they were beyond good. I cried when Bora's dad read her letter and there were lots of remarkable lines as well.
