A drama that left a hole in my heart, a beautiful hole nevertheless.

The story is about the pure love that two human beings are capable of feeling for each other, a mother and a child who started out as complete strangers, only to become the center of one anothers' lives.

I gave the drama a 10 out of 10 for its great plot, the characters that are beautifuly written, and the cast whose performance is simply mindblowing. I love the acting because it wasn't only believable but it gave the story its whole magic. I loved the absence of romantic elements, as the story was focused on motherhood and didn't diverge.

I've rewatched it for the third time this year and couldn't help but cry with each depressing scene. The lines are heartbreakingly perfect, and every character falls perfectly into its place.

I've learned from Yoon bok how to save the glimpses of beauty I come to encouter in the everyday life, to never take things for granted and to smile. Her small journal was like a magical purse, in which she hid all her precious memories, as if she was collecting some rare gems she fears to lose.

Now I've managed to have my own journal of gems to help remind me of the good things, and stay strong when life gets hard.

The monologue that Kang Yeong Shin (Sujin's mother) says towards the end in her last moments of farewell, has dug its way deep into my heart and is still be one of the most marvellous scenes I've enjoyed in a kdrama.

If I had to describe this work in a word, it would be "MAJESTICAL".
