Oil and water don't mix
When I started watching this drama, I was so convinced I'd love it. Episode 1 confirmed this intuition : it was impressive, badass, and characters seemed very interesting. Cinematography was sublime, too.But then, I continued, and I have to say : the mix between comedy and serious crime is not very effective. It's like oil and water, which left me with the feeling that it was either a comedy that took itself too seriously or a thriller that was very badly written.
The plot doesn't make sense , plot armor is way too obvious (pigeons, lol) and I keep wondering why the female lawyer wasn't killed way before. Vincenzo is a mafia consigliere but he cannot protect her 24/7, it's a godly power. Even him could have been killed many times but nevermind.
Also, I have a major issue with the FL. She's absolutely charming and I love her personality, but regarding the plot, she's very useless. She's supposed to be a very skilled lawyer, yet she never did anything valuable for the mission. Everything (including law business, her specialty) was handled by Vincenzo.
Finally, the pacing is a real problem. The plot's too draggy and there are many repetitive storylines, especially ones with huge scenes of Vincenzo walking in slowmotion with impressive music in the background.
That said, there things I liked very much : the characters, the humour (it was actually very funny) and the emotion. I cried several times : when cha young's dad dies, when vincenzo's mother dies, and when the main antagonist's little brother dies too. This death made me cry so much I felt so sorry for him.
My final world is : it's enjoyable if you don't take it too seriously. I won't rewatch but I liked my first trip.

Looks like the draft of Once Again
It started really well. I love the family dynamics and the characters, especially the lawyer.it felt fun but suddenly it became... extremely boring and draggy.
There's a storyline of the father accused of murder... I didn't give a crap and it kept on for the rest of the drama.
The fake son drama too : it was so draggy.
Somehow there were all the ingredients for a perfect family drama but it's like the writers didn't know the recipe.
there are many similarities with once again, except once again is very good.
it's a disappointment but it's still decent. 5/10

Best family drama ever, it's as simple as that
Where to start ? Once again is a gem, the kind of drama you bump into every 10 years. It's so perfect. Let's list the qualities of this drama :- Story : the story is about people who 'failed' their first marriage and given the importance of that in Korea, it's hard for them to get another chance. The show is perfect at giving hope and good feelings about it. It's absolutely lovely seeing every character rebuild their life and overcoming hardships. The only draggy moment was the fake sister storyline, but fortunately it wasn't there so long. That's the reason it's a 9.5 and not a 10.
- Characters : they're all so endearing, so well-built... I love them so much, each one has its own personality, its own qualities and defects, and its own development. I loved the market atmosphere and side characters were really funny. Okja... lol.
- Music : this OST in on my daily playlist. What more can I say ?
- Comedy : it's very funny and the humour is totally my type.
Anyway, I love the Song family and I feel like it's mine.
This drama can't be toped.

The very definition of a romantic comedy
I loved this drama so much. The female lead was endearing, the male lead's charm.was devastating and the group of friends is extremely funny.What I liked about the couple was that they didn't act like in most shows with unnecessary drama : they were adults that knew what they wanted. I had fun watching this masterpiece and I rewatched twice since.
The only episode i didnt like was the one in which coachenim is away.
I strongly recommend this, for all my beautiful ladies
