All relationships as you go - Are a never ending learning curve.

It is a long drama, and not for its subject matter. Postpartum depression, working moms, home dads, aging parents, getting married, falling out of love, children, divorce, and financial choices were all serious story topics. Living being the main focus, and not in an engaging way.

For a family series, there wasn't much warmth. I didn't feel the one-on-one main family dynamic, and the secondary couple were vanilla at best. I truly didn't know why they were there. The parents, and neighbor side stories were far more emotional and investing.

I would blame C-Dramas in general [30+ something married couples not their forte] but with this cast, I blame production for a meandering script that needed to show some love on screen. In a series with far to many episodes to fill with thoughts, diary entries and not much else in that category. I'm so neutral about it - I don't recommend it.

If you watch, stay out of comments. May YMV.
