An easily watchable 'family' drama.

I have had a binge of older and modern family drama recently and stands at the top so far of my list, not so much that there anything extraordinary in the charecters but it was all so well done.
I found most of the charecters based on reality, where people to bad things to others in an effort to fill holes in their lives, and sometimes they are not bad people just reacting to their circumstances, which I find in real life often true.
The production values are great, things like set dressing and costume, and acting are natural and realistic.

There were some of the stock family drama charecters, like the MIL, and the 'cheating husband', but it so well written and handles the pressures of modern life on men and women so well I found it relatable. It tackles the issue of domestic violence and control but somehow manages to make the whole drama an easy watch. The roles of the parents and siblings in the family, the internal family resentments, normal and relatable and how often children are often treated diffently in a family by parents, just by lack of throught, or because they are the oldest, middle or youngest.

If I jave gripe it is why do they always make the ex husbannds such selfish monsters, I know in real life many men tend to walk away from relationships, but why does every ex have to be a thoughtless manipulative demon, In this the writing of men was better than most of the c drama I have seen, and for drama you need conflict, but why so extreme? Why does the 'hero' women just have to suck it up, be nice and cope, when even the most placid of us would have been screaming in a locked bathroom.
I think of its type its solid 9
