I have been watching KDramas for a while now, and I would not consider this one as a kdrama, nevertheless, I feel the struggles through generations of what happened before and after war, occupations etc. is not been talked about enough. That is why I am so happy about this show. I have yet to read the book, since yes, there are some loose strings in the show, also some confusion with the time jumps. Anyway, the acting is amazing, the feelings are real for this one. Made me ugly cry, for the pain and the losses people had to endure.
