To love life, to love life even if you have no stomach for it

As if the first two episodes didn't hook me in already, episodes 3 and 4 managed to get me super invested in the drama.
I didn't want the episodes to end every time they did.
I feel like many people related to Mi Jeong who constantly seeks freedom from the suffocating void of her monotonous and repetitive life.
She feels lost most of the time, with people or by herself, unable to identify herself as a person.
She wants to know how it feels to be whole for once. Her character definitely felt extremely relatable despite me being an extrovert and this and that.
Every character was written and made so well and also portrayed so well that it always kept me wondering what would happen next.
The way Mr. Gu and Mi Jung were silent and still mastered the silent acting and I appreciate that so much. Not all actors could captivate viewers and make them completely drawn into their characters by not saying a single word throughout most of their scenes.
This drama isn't one of those full of plot and suspense, no- this drama was just another slice of life we drama fans needed to see and watch after all the other dramas we've seen this year.
This drama portrayed a different kind of life that many people live and go through. It's not the expensive phones we usually see in dramas despite the 'poor' characters, the fancy cars, the living alone in apartments and all those details.
No.
"I don't know where I'm stuck but I want to break free."
We see an entire family stuck together in a crowded space. We see the heat of the morning and the cold of the night.
We see these characters struggling to make an 'I' for themselves in their family and outside of their family.
We see them searching for happiness, freedom and love in the most unique way.
