Watch it to see the 'friendship' bond of a mother and her daughter.

This drama was good.

First part of the story revolved around how Kim Jinhee and her mom lived throughout her childhood as a single parent and a daughter who learned to keep herself out of her mother's dating life. I loved the way how they were more like friends than mother and daughter, I adored their relationship.

But as soon as the Jinhee's biological father came into the picture, it went downhill for me, the bond that I adored so much. Jinhee particularly said hurtfully that she didn't want to become a burden to her mother's lovelife, she kept it to herself as a child so that her mother could still date peacefully without her being an 'interruption' and nuisance, and yet, her mother was annoyingly insensitive towards her own daughter's feelings, her insecurity, and continued to bring her current boyfriend over and over, trying to force her relationship to Jinhee.

The unique plot for this drama, that makes it so different from other dramas is that, it focused not only on the hardship of a single parent, but also to the hardship of the child in the society. Her fear of being abandoned by her parent, the helplessness towards being a burden to their parent's life.

Later in the series, at least she acknowledged that Jinhee is only her daughter, and didn't make Jinhee to accept her boyfriend as her father. The way she fought with her grandparents for her daughter's freedom and wishes. I loved it all. This mother and daughter duo could fight blood for each other and I loved it.

And the ending, it was just lovely. Watch it for a light-hearted drama, if you're looking for one.
