I've had this drama on my list for a while to watch but honestly avoided watching. I didn't really like the American version of this (the one with Zac Efron), so I was worried how this would. But I was so wrong to leave it there until now!
As with most things Kdrama remakes are more often than not 1000 times better than the other versions made. There was an opportunity for a second chance, hard-working mum, troubled kids and not to forget the romance! From the very beginning, this storyline had me hooked. It touched on a lot of topics like divorce, career struggles, bullying and more, which is why I think this had a lot more impact and gave the chance for this drama to have some really heartwarming moments.
Here are just some more reasons as to why I really enjoyed this drama:
1. The cast was great and they really helped bring this drama to life!
2. There were quite a few twists and turns that I didn't expect coming that really added to the story
3. Glimpses into the future (any more would be a spoiler)
4. Watching Hong Dae Young's relationships with his kids was really the highlight of the drama for me. It was really great to watch both sides of him (old and young) develop and see how his perspective on his children changed the more he got to know them. It was really emotional and left me feeling teary-eyed on occasion.
5. This drama had some really intense moments that drew you in, but I really liked how it was balanced with some well-timed comedy. In particular, there were many scenes with Go Deok Jin made me laugh sooo much!
This is a great drama and if it's not on your list to watch I would highly recommend giving it a go!
The is the only thing I never really got/didn't like and that was how Dae Young was never recognised by his kids even when he enrolled in their school? But you will have to make your own mind up if that annoyed you as much as it did me!
