Watch it while doing something else if you feel intimidated by the number of episodes. This is a very good drama to start appreciating long dramas and their slow pace. You need some patience and an open mind to enjoy the dramatizing of simple things because a longer drama is about having a more realistic pace of action.

disclaimer: I've watched 27/52 episodes

Weeks have passed and I still can’t get over it. It is my first time watching a lengthy drama with such an ease, while loving everything. Despite how slow it goes, it is enjoyable. It’s a part of its charm. It is also my first time being invested in all characters’ stories, because they were actually given equal importance. The drama has a serious touch of reality, and it doesn’t paint things like dramas usually do; and it makes a big deal of things that would be quickly dismissed in a normal drama but not in real life, which makes it even more realistic.
