Family relationships, healing, and forgiveness
In the end, the show is about family relationships, with a focus on broken families and the possible ways to achieve healing.The world is not perfect. Parents argue, fight, get separated, and sadly get divorced; or a parent abandons their child. Whatever the reasons were of the adults, the most that is affected are their children. The world that turns into darkness are the world of the people adults brought into this harsh reality.
Suji and Uri showed us that this shouldn't be the case, and that we can achieve healing in one way or another. We may hate someone for what they did, but we shouldn't let that turn into bitterness. Suji and Uri taught us that forgiveness is a path that all of us can take, because the people who benefits the most from having a forgiving heart is no other than the person who learned to forgive. And that's where healing begins and we start seeing the light.
Which then leads to having a heart of gold to take care of other people going through hardships in life, like we did, and potentially adopt children who deserves to have beautiful world.
Yes, adopting will not change the world, but it will indeed change the person's world. You see, we were not born to change the entire world, rather we were born to change the world closest to us.

Complicated love story with no focus.
I've started this show as thinking it's a comedy and some drama. The story line is getting stretched, first it took more then 60 or so episode to find the long last mom of FL, now it is taking another 50 episode for ML lead for his parents,who ironically the father doesn't what to get thing found out to his wife. Then there is a step sister kind of villen who is jealous and try to get the things from his Older sister. So it's typical story line I've seen for other dramas. Now after episode 89 the show is on break and remaining 31 episode don't know what will happen.P. S. - if you like thr long drama you can watch this as just for enentertainmen, not for story.

Writing as if the viewers have no clue
Writing is not captivating enough for mature audience. The villains are never exposed until the end and some of the actors and actress are not that great like the stepmother and the brother. I am hoping that the drama gets better before episode 90. I already feel I have wasted time supportive soap opera. I know it a soap opera but the writing needs to better no one sees anything when it’s right there in front of them characters are protrade as dummies.Was this review helpful to you?
Su Ji and U Ri: A Lengthy Struggle Without Depth
My Thoughts:
To sum it up, Su Ji and U Ri lacked depth plain and simple. From the start, it felt like none of the characters were given enough layers to truly connect with the audience. Jin Soo Ji, the female lead, was a particularly disappointing portrayal. It was obvious from the get-go that the writer intended for her to be a “professional doormat,” a trope overused and frustrating in this case. Instead of showing growth or resilience in a meaningful way, Soo Ji simply existed to be torn down by everyone, especially by Na Young and Jang Yun Ja, the two villains. Eventually she does become happy but she still have those 2 access to her and always made herself readily available for whatever bs they would be up to.
Speaking of villains, Na Young, while introduced as the antagonist, was an utter disappointment in her arc. The show teased a strong motive for her actions—an inferiority complex that led her to sabotage Soo Ji—but the so-called redemption arc felt lazy and unearned. A “petty excuse” wrapped up her behavior, as if the writers suddenly decided to spare her from consequences. And Jang Yun Ja? She never got the punishment she deserved, neither for hurting Su Ji nor her mother. Typical Kdrama writer fashion—wrongs are often forgiven without proper justice.
Chae Woo Ri, the male lead, wasn’t much better. While his introduction suggested he would be this righteous, justice-driven character, he never really became more than a bland, two-dimensional lead. It’s a shame, given that the potential for a more dynamic and nuanced rivalry-turned-romance between him and Su Ji was there. But it just never took off.
If all that wasn’t enough, the drama dragged unnecessarily. At 128 episodes, this story could have easily been wrapped up in 50. Every episode after the 50th felt like filler, with pointless subplots like the relationship dynamic between Sun Young and the uncle. It was evident from the start that she had no romantic interest in him, yet the writer forced them together in the end, making their relationship feel painfully contrived.
The ending? It was just okay. After all the chaos and aimless character arcs, I didn’t expect much, and what we got was simply “good enough.” It wasn’t the grand conclusion I hoped for, but at least it was done.
Final Advice: If you’re thinking about watching Su Ji and U Ri, skip most of the fluff. Five minutes of the beginning, middle, and end of each episode will give you all you need. There’s no reason to waste time on the endless filler, and you’ll save yourself a lot of frustration in the process.

Loved Loved Loved it!!!!
What can I say - I absolutely loved this drama. Unlike some others who had some quite interesting takes on it and then dropped it. I fell in love with the characters and the story. It drew me in to the point I ended up smashing out the 128 episodes in no time at all (not realising it was the last episode) and didn’t want it to end. Did I get bored with the retells of old memories - yes I did (just a little bit) but that was quickly remedied with the FF button hahaha.🤣Both Lead Actors were just brilliant in the way they portrayed their roles and there was a good chemistry between the 2.
The step-sister - you just love to hate her evilness and in the end - character development - just gotta love writers who do that. ♥️
The step-mum - yep you just get downright annoyed with her stupidity and jealousy. Although there was somewhat of a change - I still didn’t take to her character at all in this one. (Good writing) I did love the others though and all the actors were brilliant in it.
Loved it.

It sounds like you find the pairing of Man Doori and Do Young in the story to be less than ideal, perhaps due to their dynamics or lack of chemistry. While their relationship might seem off or "gross" to you, it contrasts with the overall pleasant storyline of the main actor and actress, where the twists are subtle and easily digestible. It seems like the main couple provides a more balanced and enjoyable aspect to the narrative, helping to offset any awkwardness in the secondary pairing.Was this review helpful to you?
