disapointing end

the story was very good; it's unique and the acting of the actors was so good. I was captivated by the story episode after episode. but the last 2 ones were dragging the events and at the end, they didn't deliver what I waited for.

this drama is not a classic one. I appreciated the critic of the Korean society where you are supposed to be healthy and have a good job to be considered as a good child and a good person to marry. all the drama is about this idea that a mother/father push the children to meet some requirement in order to be proud of them. it's also about why and how the parents push some children, and why or how they don't push some of them. I really liked it, and it's a shame they didn't go all the way to the end of the analysis. it's also about how and when you can achieve your dreams in life.

I appreciated this being about 30/40 yo characters, not married and without children. there is more and more of that and I love it. I loved that the friends of the main characters had a heavy part of the story to handle.

I didn't like the 2nd male lead's role. I didn't quite understand why this person came back in the life of the MFL. They didn't made it clear either whose fault that was they broke up. Even if the MFL didn't want to break up in a bloody way, it is also a matter of respect to be true to the reality and recognize every part of responsibility. They 2 played the role of the hero (it's not his/her fault, it's mine), and I don't think that was the good thing to do. I didn't like their story, I didn't like the way they broke up, I didn't like the way they parted ways.

last but not least, this drama is also about how you handle health issues when a loved one is concerned, and I really loved the way they explained that sometimes you handle it very badly and you realize it too late. it was subtle but very precise.

If you want to watch, be my guest, but remember that the end will be disappointing. that's a good drama if you have nothing else to watch.
when to watch: if you have nothing else to do
audience: family friendly.
