10/10
Amazing drama
29 January 2023
Yes, amazing drama. I can't say enough about the impact of this series. The performances are outstanding, the story is gripping, the writing is top notch, the direction is just right, keeping this drama moving forward with no filler, no wasted scenes.

Yes, there are a few of the long staring matches that many romantic K-dramas utilize, but they are kept to a minimum. The interpreted lyrics of the pop songs can often interfere with dialog, but if you are interested in the story, this will be minor.

This is not your typical Korean love story. It is a human drama, very real, very tragic, with unforeseen twists and turns. It's the story of children and their mothers and it is near perfect. The young Heo Yool (Hye Na/Yoon Bok) steals this drama with her performance of the abused child, but the entire cast is excellent, especially all the mothers. I was hooked about 15 minutes into the first episode.

Mothers and daughters, especially, watch this series. It is highly recommended. But be warned: domestic violence is not a light subject. Have the tissues nearby.
