so touching and wholesome

Not going to lie, going into the first few episodes, I thought it was super depressing and hated how sanha's father got away with his abuse towards his family and even In Sook's grandma. However, as I continued on from the second episode, I realized how intricate the drama was.

I loved everyone's side story; the relationship between the 3 main girls, In Sook and WooCheon's relationship development, and the environment at the hospice. It was honestly really sweet and moments like these were able to distract me from the heaviness that some of the other scenes contained.

The concept of "sweet escape" left me lowkey anxious because I knew that even though they were safe for the time being they were being chased by time, the police, and so many things that were built up from their past. (the two main leads).

Honestly, I'm pretty sure there was not a single episode where I didn't cry. It's so bittersweet and you can't help but feel the emotional damage after certain characters pass. I think this drama allowed me to accept death, as unimaginable as it is, I felt like I was growing and also mentally preparing alongside the characters for the passing of another.

Overall, I really loved the vibes, the pacing is relatively slow in a good way. The actors did amazing (a few familiar faces here and there but some new faces). The OST is on point, it matched so well, I'm binging the soundtrack for sure.

I'd recommend this drama if you would like to sit down and watch something that is both peaceful but heavy at the same time. Prepare yourself and some tissues on the side :)
