Action packed storyline!
I finally watched this drama, and I loved it!I kept thinking of the British Monarchy and the House of Windsor,
as the parallels are many, especially the Death/Murder of Princess Diana.
I think this was more like a drama about the British Royals in a Korean setting.
It was a thrilling ride, with no boring slumps.
Well developed characters with ones to root for and ones you hope suffer a bitter end.
It was a well done Drama and the lead actors did a great job.
It was definitely worth watching!

Low budget boys over flower kinda plot
I created an account on this site just to pour my heart out . This drama will have you on an emotional roller coaster. I genuinely don’t blame FL for her actions becus at the end of the day she was a child failed by adults around her . As for ML family so upsetting how the acted. . The didn’t even look that wealthy to me . This drama was giving low budget boys over flower plot but overall I enjoyed it and glad the got a happy ending but it will really be nice for dramas to invest in happy moments more than having all the sad moments have more scenes then by the time for romance we have few mins left for season wrap it’s not fail . I will rate this drama a 7/10Was this review helpful to you?

An In-Depth Character Study
Please don't read this review unless you've finished the series! The show is so much better going in blind!This series is a very unique take on a character study. The main genres are thriller and mystery and they take you on a wild ride as you try to understand who Fei Ke really was. What were his goals, motives, and what made him into the person that he was? That question is never answered, because he himself never got to find out.
The series plays as each character takes a turn describing their own story with Fei Ke. Each person describes a different personality, a different type of manipulation, and a indescribable pull towards him.
But this is not a story of a man, evil, intent on on gaining money or power. He is not some master manipulator. Though, his intentions can be subjective, I think it's clear that he didn't set out to scam people. When opportunities arose, when he was betrayed, when the victim created and walked into their own trap, he pushed forward. He was oddly sincere and kind, searching for genuine connection and treating others as meaningful to him, but also preparing for the worst. As soon as they betrayed him, he did so back double fold. The story is more so about a man who continues to make the wrong choice, meet the wrong people, and push away the only person that stayed on his side, honest and good Shen.
The one and only chance he had at escaping his dark childhood, becoming the person he was meant to be, when he was given the choice, he chose revenge. From the moment he chose revenge, he set his life on a course of lies that led him to twisted people, further twisting himself until he became a "fake" version of himself. Rather than actualize the person he was going to become, bright and clever and kind, he chose to hurt those that had hurt him. This moment destroys him and that is where the story truly began and where Li Zenrui's ended.
The ending was truly heartbreaking and brought my score up from an 8 to a 9.5.
It ends with each person returning to their happiest self or their truest forms of themselves. For Fei Ke, only after his death did he regain his name. Only in his last moments, did he do something that was true of himself, returning to his innocent self still full of hopes and dreams. Only once before his death, did he get to hear someone call him by his real name, only once...only once.
Only one person remembered who he once was, Shen was his only lifeline. And in his final moments, he chose to save that lifeline, the last remaining piece of his hope.

Enjoyed every bit
I love the Naksu character. I did want to see her performing more actions, because in the few scenes of her fighting , I was hooked. I loved her acting, her eyes and expression. This session had expressed romance more . Most scenes were beautiful, soothing to eye. great work. I enjoyed watching it. The ending was also nicely done, completed and not rushed out. Thank you for making this work.Was this review helpful to you?

A robot and a human fall in love
This was a fantastic drama!At first I wasn't sure I would like it. Not because of the interspecies romance (vampires, werewolves, demons, etc...) that's usually my bread and butter. But because I don't see how a mother could allow her child to be taken and not fight for him... in any and every way she could, yeah, I know she went to the compound (that was a dumb move) but then she waited for 20 years... mind blowing.
There's a lot of things I could say about the mother, I thought she was a terrible person, very selfish.
The grandpa was a horrible person. No wonder the 'real' Nam Shin was so messed up. But the fact that he was the one that... It was unforgiveable. The things he did and he had no consequences. At the end Ji Yeong Hun and David were acting like he did nothing wrong. That irritated me.
The story, the romance between Nam Shin III and Kang So Bong was so sweet.
Some are talking about how horrible it is that she fell in love with a robot, that they hoped it wasn't the robot with her at the end. Anyone still having doubts about which one was which at the end... last episode started at 29:28 should put those doubts to rest.
Personally, I was hoping the robot and the human would a find away to stay together. Thankfully, the ending was a very happy one (a year later) in the last few minutes of the last episode. (I'm usually not a fan of the last minute happy ending but for this one I'm just glad it was one.)
Would I recommend it? Yes, with a caveat. If you don't like interspecies romance, this is not the drama for you. However if you like a drama with a Gorgeous male lead, a FL who can be irritating as all get out (especially in the beginning) but she mellows in the later episodes, if you like a sweet romance, no spice, a couple of kisses, angst, bad guys who don't get their just desserts but villains who do... then this is the one for you.

Wonderful drama,
I just completed both sessions yesterday. It was a well written drama. You will feel satisfied after watching . In Session 1 , I was hooked in all episodes, not a boring part. Main characters were given their focus, their character development, not just the hero and heroine. It is a well written , directed , executed drama. I loved it so much i came to review it. the writer didnot rush out. well written.The action scenes were beautiful. All the actors did great job. Go for it.

The Difference Between Hell And Purgatory
This is lots of fun, and more thoughtful than I expected.It has a similar vibe to Study Group, and while it is also quite funny in parts, it's less goofy and slapstick.
It is extremely entertaining while also critiquing the inefficiency (and ultimately the failure) of systems meant to protect people, the culture surrounding education of emphasizing results, grades and excellent jobs over the growth and cultivation of moral integrity in schools, the horrifying nature of some parenting practices, and the danger of jeopardizing safe spaces for young people to learn and grow if bullying and drugs are not addressed in them.
The part that was most satisfying and which I'd not seen attempted in quite this way before, was the way every bully (whether student, parent, or teacher) got a turn to experience a dose of their own medicine. A few used the lesson to grow, (most) others just grew more resentful and bitter.
If your criticism is that it's unrealistic or over-the-top...well, that's kind of the point.
The ERPB could never exist, just as a politician as good-hearted and upright as Minister Choi Jang Seok could probably never exist, but the issues they highlight are obviously on a spectrum of the real.
The question the drama is posing is: Will we actually address the root problem? Will we just put bandaids on our festering societal injuries and let the wound grow worse or will we do the painful, agonizing, image-destroying work of surgery to bring actual healing and long-term restoration?
There was this thoughtful (though not always perfect) balance of the tension between compassion/grace and punishment. All the perpetrators are given a chance at redemption (and enlightenment is offered through the Dante-like contrapasso punishment the perpetrators suffer), but not everyone takes it.
As Dante highlights, this response to punishment is the difference between Hell and Purgatory. 😉

Not sure why
I couldn't finish this show, I really struggled to keep my mind on it, the first four episodes weren't too bad. Kinda disappointed in myself for not being to stick through it for Kim Sejeong's sake since I REALLY enjoyed her performance in Brewing Love.I said that if this drama wowed me then I'd finally give Extraordinary Attorney Woo a try and move it to the top of my watchlist. Guess that won't be happening. 😔 How awful.
5/10 cuz I'm pretty neutral.
It looked good, had an interesting premise, good acting and pretty solid music. All the components put together just didn't do it for me.

As clouds disperse, love emerges.
Japanese BL writers undoubtedly know how to use literary devices, predominantly symbolism and pathetic fallacy, and I'm just zooming in on this particular drama, combined with the directors 加藤綾佳 (Kato Ayaka) and 安村栄美 (Yasumura Emi)'s many cinematic choices to highlight those techniques. Speaking more generally, I really think it works.And that's exactly what I want to highlight in this review, because I think it was executed most successfully.
Disclaimer: I have not read the original source material manga.
There's nothing like an opening episode that knows how to throw you into the thick of it, setting up a compelling premise of mystery, desire, and possession between one very unlikely pairing, coupled with alluring imagery to keep you going into the next. 『体感予報』 (My Personal Weatherman, 2023) continues to hold its ground with audiences even three years later because of its blend of dynamic storytelling and beautiful cinematography, and that just hit the right spot for me.
From start to finish, I enjoyed the complexities of each character, from their introductions to their development later in the drama, and watching the relationship between them grow into something that they both eventually come to realize they needed most: to be understood, and to be loved for it. Our two rival protagonists 瀬ヶ崎 瑞貴 (Segasaki Mizuki) and 棚田 葉 (Tanada Yoh) have quite the history together that does get room to breathe as we watch them mature into their present selves, and that history becomes the central, and often misunderstood, conflict of the story. However, I will disclose that I generally don't enjoy most misunderstanding tropes and arcs of the like, but viewers should note that this is essential for driving these characters toward understanding themselves and each other, as well as the reason this theme appears so frequently in Japanese media.
Segasaki's love language reflects Japan's culture of indirectness and how easily it can misrepresent one's intentions. On the other hand, Tanada's more direct love language contrasts as words of affirmation. And here is where the "opposites attract" dynamic truly blossoms. While the push-and-pull and constant misinterpretations can be exhausting, I couldn't help but root for them (and kick my feet while doing so) to make it work and continue putting in the effort for each other. Slowly but surely, they did, and I didn't expect this to be the kind of drama that would leave you on a sour note; it does have its mellow (but tender) moments though.
Don't think I've gotten so lost in the appealing characterization that I've forgotten the whole point of this review, so let me digress for a moment. My Personal Weatherman does this enchanting thing with weather and color by correlating them with the characters' emotional states and desires, using different weather conditions to represent each of them. I will be honest, after watching this drama, I will never be able to think of sunny days the same way ever again. Each weather condition is given a beat before the next and with that, so do we with the characters themselves, watching as they discover something new about themselves or each other, confess, or act upon a new emotion. You can trust that the story guides both the viewer's emotions and their interpretation of each moment through every hiccup by what the condition of the weather is, so I think it was such a fantastic choice in the storytelling to make one of the characters a weatherman and use that occupation to drive the story. I know this sounds like such a minuscule, unimportant decision, but it shone the brightest (no pun intended.)
As always, among the strongest points that kept me watching were also some of its weaker ones. I must admit, I don't have much "bad" commentary to provide for this drama, while I also don't take much pleasure in dwelling on that, there is just one thing that kept this drama from being a home run to my own standards. There is no denying that I felt there was a slight lack of depth in some of the story's arcs and characterization, even though I emphasized how much I loved it. Probably much to no one's surprise, if you've read a few reviews already, the characters do begin to fall a bit flat and one-dimensional as the episodes progress. I often observed that the story led a couple of steps ahead of the characters themselves, but they caught up quickly enough that it never took me out of the story. Structurally, though, it wasn't particularly stable.
If I can provide any unsolicited constructive criticism, it would be to allow the characters to grow actively together rather than passively through one another, so that the pacing and development of the story support the characters, not the other way around. There were too many instances where the characters would come to an understanding under one of three circumstances: in bed, from the sidelines, or through another character. This altered how I viewed their chemistry and the foundation of their relationship, often stopping to ask myself, "What was it that brought them together like this again? Why do they like each other?" And honestly, the answer to that question appears way too late by the time a viewer would choose to keep watching or walk away.
I want to end this on a high by saying this is a drama I would, and already have, recommended a few times. I find myself thinking about these characters and appreciating what makes them who they are, the cute and spicy moments they shared together, and overall the idea that a more shy, soft-spoken person can really come to terms with who they are, their emotions, learn more about the person they adore, and express themselves through the art that they create. That is such a warm message that deeply resonates with me as a writer. So, if you're thinking about giving this drama a try, I'd encourage you to.
Because at the end of the day, after a season of rainfall, love always finds a way to bloom.
And it's waiting for you too.

Amazing 10/10 Give me 14 of them
I absolutely love Ticket to Heaven because it tells a story that feels emotional, sincere, and unforgettable. What makes it so special to me is the way it explores love, identity, hope, and personal growth without making the characters feel unrealistic. Every scene seems to have a purpose, whether it is making me smile, laugh, or reflect on the challenges the characters face. The chemistry between the leads feels natural, making it easy to become invested in their journey and root for them through every obstacle. I also appreciate how the series is willing to tackle difficult topics while still leaving room for warmth, kindness, and moments of happiness. Instead of relying only on romance, it develops the characters as individuals, allowing viewers to understand their fears, dreams, and motivations. The cinematography, music, and overall atmosphere add another layer of beauty, creating scenes that stay in my mind long after an episode ends. I find myself thinking about the conversations, the emotions, and the messages it shares about acceptance and finding the courage to be yourself. It reminds me that love is not always easy, but it is worth fighting for when it is built on honesty, respect, and genuine care. I admire how the story encourages empathy by showing different perspectives and highlighting the importance of understanding others rather than judging them. Watching Ticket to Heaven is more than simple entertainment for me because it leaves me feeling inspired and emotionally connected. It is the kind of series that makes me appreciate meaningful storytelling and reminds me why I enjoy watching BL dramas in the first place. Even after finishing an episode, I continue thinking about the characters and eagerly look forward to what happens next. For me, Ticket to Heaven is a beautiful reminder that hope, compassion, and authentic love can shine even during life’s most difficult moments, making it an unforgettable experience that I will always treasure.Was this review helpful to you?
A Warm Hug Wrapped in all the Green Flags!
When I Fly Towards You is, without question, one of the most emotionally healing coming-of-age dramas I've ever watched. Rather than relying on toxic misunderstandings, unnecessary love triangles, or emotionally manipulative tropes, it quietly reminds you that kindness, patience, and emotional safety can be just as captivating.
At its heart is Zhang Lurang, whose reserved and withdrawn personality is deeply rooted in growing up within a highly critical family. His instinct is always to retreat, protecting himself from further disappointment. Then enters Su Zaizai, a walking ray of sunshine whose steady encouragement, warmth, and unconditional acceptance create the psychological safety he never had. She never tries to "fix" him; instead, she consistently shows him that he is worthy of love exactly as he is. Helping him to slowly unlearn years of self-doubt simply because someone believes in him is one of the most beautiful character journeys I've seen.
What makes this drama stand out even more is how healthy every relationship feels. The romance is built on mutual respect, honest communication, and emotional maturity. Jealousy isn't weaponized. Misunderstandings aren't dragged out for episodes. Instead, the characters communicate, reassure one another, and choose trust over assumptions.
The friendships deserve just as much praise. Their friend group feels like a true chosen family and a safe place where everyone is allowed to grow, make mistakes, discover who they are, and cheer each other on. Rather than having one character save everyone else, they grow together, validating each other's emotions and becoming mirrors that help one another mature. It's incredibly refreshing and deeply relatable.
Perhaps my favorite part, though, is the atmosphere. The entire drama wraps you in nostalgia. It captures the innocence of first love, high school friendships, and growing up with such warmth that it genuinely feels like receiving a hug after a long day. The low-conflict storytelling never feels boring; instead, it allows you to fully enjoy the emotional journey without the exhaustion of constant angst. It's comforting, healing, and leaves you smiling long after each episode ends.
If you're looking for a drama filled with green flags, emotional intelligence, heartfelt friendships, and a romance that restores your faith in healthy relationships, When I Fly Towards You is absolutely worth every minute!
Final Rating: 10/10
A comforting, beautiful reminder that sometimes the greatest love stories aren't about saving someone—they're about creating a safe place where they can finally become themselves.

watched it for phuwin but yaya carried it truly
here's what i wrote on my ig right after i finished watching it 2 months ago:negl i watched it purely for phuwin even if he's just a supporting character, but he turned out to be way more important to the story than i thought he'd be so it was a win for me.
he didn't have many scenes or lines but every one he had was a bomb dropping time stopping line. and every single time i saw him i rewinded the scene to see him again and say omfg you're so pretty.
one thing I'll say is that i noticed a couple times that he could've been on screen but he wasn't and his character was handled through a phone call we didn't hear his side of and that was probably due to scheduling conflicts. which i did confirm was in fact that way by looking it up on twt. apparently he was filming we are, summer nights AND dalah all simultaneously so yeah that answers my question.
anyway, the show itself was pretty good. i liked the plot, the mystery and the character dynamics. it didn't drag unnecessarily and the cinematography was honestly beautiful. the director knew what she was doing and i can tell she had a clear vision for the show.
only thing I'll say is that the final reveal was maybe a little too much dialogue but the dialogue itself was well written and didn't feel clunky so i don't mind it too much
so conclusion: i love phuwin and he's gorgeous

TOO SHORT, TOO ABRUPT, TOO HASTE CANT BE SAVED BY GOOD CASTING CHOICE
The show's biggest weakness is its runtime. At under 12 minutes per episode across just six installments, the story feels far too rushed and abrupt, leaving no room for proper character development or a cohesive plot. On the bright side, the casting and performances are strong. It's a shame they weren't given a full-length drama format, ideally 45–55 minutes per episode, to do them justice. I hope the cast have another chance to show off their acting in another, fair project.Was this review helpful to you?

Annoying FL but its bearable
I’m rating this show an 8 stars because it genuinely is a good show. Initially it was everywhere and highly praised but then at the same time it was scrutinised and compared to real life idols who passed away due to suicide and the fact that the show was ‘inspired’ by Jonghyun from Shinee to make a story like it which made me steer away from the show initially.But somehow recently I felt a pull to start it and I’m glad it did. I want to start off by saying this show has nothing to do with Jonghyun and the only similarity is unfortunately the suicide part. But you cannot claim that a show depicting an idol committing suicide is a direct link to someone in real life. This show covers the difficulties of idols’ lives in general and doesn’t target anyone specific and I’m really surprised people made up a rumor like that…
Although Sunjae’s depression partly stemmed from not meeting Sol, which is the main premise and set up for the drama. Which once again, I do not see how people connected this to the late Jonghyun. Please just let him rest in peace, not everything is a direct hit on him.
With that out of the way, I wanted to say that the thing that made this show so irritatingly unwatchable at times, is how stupid the FL is. She is beyond frustrating, acts like a toddler at her big ass age and freezes everytime the ML does anything remotely affectionate. It is not cute nor enjoyable to watch. I hate to be harsh about this but this is one thing I can’t tolerate in K-dramas in general.
Kim Hyeyoon is about to turn 30 and her acting has not changed since Extraordinary You. It seriously felt like I was watching her character from that show rather than Im Sol.
And although her character in Extraordinary You was cute and I liked her, it was because it fit and she was funny! This character was just a baby. A constant baby.
She also seemed like one of those stiff kissers who barely move their lips which wasn’t the case in Extraordinary You before…I don’t know, I just couldn’t get myself to like her character in this show at all.
Not only was she stupid but she is constantly freezing up, in every instance. The scene where Sunjae falls off the cliff, he stood there for solid good 30 seconds and while she stood there just watching, she could’ve grabbed him like 10 times. She was also extremely stubborn about the serial killer and could’ve easily solved that case in much less stupid ways. I don’t understand how she couldn’t comprehend that all of her actions where she would isolate herself to save Sunjae didn’t work and no matter what she did it was going to backfire, it was proven multiple times since she time traveled back and forth and she still did the same goddamn things.😭
All in all, Sunjae’s character isn’t much for me to comment on. His whole personality is just loving Im Sol which is cute I guess but he didn’t have much of a personality outside of that. Literally all he ever did is talk about her, make everything about her, he didn’t even pursue music in the end which he said he enjoyed but instead became an actor. The song that was erased but he sang again was left ambigously erased in the end I guess sincd it was never brought up again if it was turned into an actual song or not. Guess it doesn’t matter its one of the smaller nitpicks I have.
Another thing that bothered me is how in ep15 after she had a serious flu to the point where she passed out and even had to have an IV for, she woke up with full face of makeup on the next day with a freshly put on lipgloss lol..so many things in this show felt like they were put in there just for the main couple to have a moment, a lot of the small details didn’t matter.
I also don’t understand how Sol and Taesang became friends when they weren’t connected before either, except for the fact that Sol had a crush on him but that’s the only connection they have. And how did Sol not meeting Sunjae change Taesang’s future that much when the only reason he changed in the future (in the other timelines) is because Im Sol comforted him and told him to do better. All of these are erased so what changed for him to do that? And how the hell did they get close to the point where he calls her ‘My Sol’. They literally had zero connection before lol…
I’ll end my rant there. It feels like the more I nitpick the more I want to lower my scoring for this show but these are all small things that are easily forgotten so I didn’t want to be too strict. The only thing that bothered me to the point where it made me want to stop watching is Im Sol’s character and how she acted, and my gosh I absolutely couldn’t stand her constant baby voice…other than that Kim Hyeyoon is a talented actress but she needs to stop being casted in shows where she acts like a grown toddler…I guess it’s Koreas ‘aegyo’ but it gets to a point. I genuinely couldn’t tell if that was just how the actress acts in general or if they wrote her character like that, either way, just don’t do that shit again. My god.
Overall though, the show wasn’t bad at all. It was super entertaining and I actually rooted for the main couple (despite my frustrations). It was silly and stupid at the same time, a lot of things were just straight up outrageous but it was good and I liked the side characters and how their futures were also impacted and changed, loved looking at that too.
Other than the FL’s acting, show was pretty solid. So for that, I give it an 8, which is very generous with how many complaints I came with lol!!

Really Surprised at Low Ratings - I enjoyed it Very Much
My rating is 10/10I am really surprised at so many lower ratings because I have watched over 400 dramas and consider myself quite picky at this point. If you are looking for something that is really more of a traditional drama trope this fits that criteria. If you want a darker theme to the romance this might not be it for you. But if you like comfortable predictability with just enough intrigue to carry you through then this could be a good one. I wasn't expecting some epic love story just a fairly simple and straight forward romance that fit the male being cold but warming up trope well.
There are even some Easter Eggs if you catch them.
This series was exactly what I needed after a couple of disappointing slow-burn Chinese romances. Those often drag for me, but this one delivered a faster pace, lighter tone, and perfect balance of romance and charm that kept me hooked. I loved the premise right away—both leads have genuinely interesting jobs that feel fresh and integral to the story rather than just background.
The character development is strong, their chemistry sparkles naturally, and the romance progresses at a satisfying speed without feeling rushed or stagnant. Matthew Lee and Dam Ye-jin make a wonderful pair, and the rural village setting adds warmth and humor throughout. It's a breezy, feel-good watch with solid production and performances that make it highly rewatchable. I can forgive the 12-episode format here because nothing major felt missing, unlike some other recent shows. If you enjoy fast-paced, light-hearted romances with good workplace elements and heart, I highly recommend Sold Out on You. 10/10—I'll definitely watch it again.
Spoilers
From an American cultural perspective, a couple of minor family dynamics annoyed me. Dam Ye-jin (main girl) came across as pretty mean to her dad for virtually no reason and forgave her mom way too easily. I thought her mom was cruel to her growing up and never believed in her. Such a short simple apology did not feel like an adequate gesture to make up for years of emotional abuse. Same with her "apology" to her dad. First, she waited until after she reconciled with her mom before considering she had treated her dad badly.
I was a bit worried they would not resolve the past harmful cosmetic issue. So, I was relieved that in both key instances, Matthew Lee wasn't responsible for the poor cosmetic outcomes. I wish Dam Ye-jin had received a stronger apology from her Director and better payout since she was right both times.
Some side elements felt unnecessary or underdeveloped. I didn't understand why the sister of the girl with the rash had to become a home shopping presenter—she wasn't a very likable character to me. I know rivalry often makes people act unlike themselves but I did not think she was very nice even when she determined she was not going to be with him. Even after telling him her feelings and getting a soft rejection, she still attempted to sabotage their relationship by essentially telling main girl to go home.
Eric Seo (second guy) was great, though. He pursued Dam Ye-jin in a respectful, low-key way without being pushy, and when he realized he didn't have a chance, he handled it maturely without any vindictiveness. That was refreshing. He would be a good friend in the future, someone you would greet with a smile son your face. I liked that his character was not destroyed. I also liked that his sister, that was so awful to him but also to others, got in trouble for her criminal activity.
The second romance between Dam Ye-jin's friend and the village guy was cute. His arc—being convinced he could never love anyone else after pursuing one girl forever, only to open up—was sweet. His heart told him he liked her before his brain caught up.
I could have done without the third couple (his friend/business counterpart and the coffee shop girl). She felt very cold with zero chemistry, like it was added just to pair everyone off. The same goes for the rushed, unnecessary pairing of the woman who had been so hung up on Matthew with Dam Ye-jin's production assistant (or whatever his role was). That was a weird pair up and I found her pretty unlikable.
There were a lot of fun little details too. Like the cosmetic product Matthew Lee developed looked convincingly genuine, and those white-flowered nuri mushrooms were adorable—I genuinely wished they were real. The rooster scene had me laughing out loud (not sure about the egg mixing confusion, but it worked). Dam Ye-jin's adopted grandma, Song Hak-daek, was an absolute bright spot—warm, funny, and one of the best supporting characters in the show.
So, what were the Easter Eggs? Male Lead was in Business Proposal and K-Pop Demon Hunter and they drop reference to both. Did you or will you catch it? Maybe there were others?
Overall, this was a delightful, comforting watch that hit all the right notes for me. Highly recommended!
