Easy and fun :)

This show was a definite rollercoaster ride for me. There were instances I absolutely laughed my heart out and enjoyed but then there were times when I hated it so much.

What I did not like:
1. The gaslighting of the daughter's feelings. It feels like although the family and society were largely accepting of her feelings, they did overlook them under the garb of "too much pressure/responsibility" or whatever that nonsense was invalidating her feelings.
2. Too much interference in relationships - while the daughter's feelings were valid, her babying her mother so much as to interfere in her relationships was just a pain to watch.
3. How bad they did to Sanha's character. He's been so poorly written when in fact it could have been a strong storyline. We see that in the last 2-3 episodes. Way too much emphasis on the same old "how did he make the money" mystery. It gets old after a point of time.

What I liked:
They addressed most if not all the issues I have which I like. The dislikes 1 and 2 are more like character flaws, which we have to accept considering character development is the entire point of watching the drama. I like how Mi-rae grows as a person and her mother grows as an independent woman. I like how they made these characters human, who though wrong, learn from it over time and do better. I also found many instances to be funny. It was a light and easy watch for me that I thoroughly enjoyed. Also, as a Minho fan, it was so endearing to watch him in this role. He's super cute and I'm all for it. The man is fine af. Also, the acting by Jin Hee is top-notch. He's just as good as one would expect him to be. I also like how they have given equal weightage to both relationships and given so much time to a rather mature couple, which we rarely see. It's been a fun ride.
