Those 65% average ratings didn't come for nothing! If your Korean is good enough, don't hesitate to watch this. It doesn't follow a specific plot but rather lets the actors shine which is why acting is a 10/10 - the creme de la creme of their generations. Soonja (Yoon Yuh Jung), Daebal's father (Lee Soon Jae) and Shimae (Kim Hye Ja) are so, SO close to totally overshadowing the actual main couple Daebal and Jieun (played by Choi Min Soo and Ha Hee Ra - who are legendary and fantastic actors in their own right). Even Daebal's sister and Jieun's brother, who are "just" side characters, shine. Ha Hee Ra of course is a stunner, even in those simple clothes and hairdo, and Choi Min Soo was in his everybody's darling flower boy era - It felt nice to see him not be the tough rough street gangster for once lol.

The story is equally comedic as it is serious (as in "criticises some aspects of society through the pure absurdity of it all") and some moments are very touching too, as well as relatable for people that grew up in conservative households. Some moments hit way too close to home at times for me too. The reason its a 9/10 is because it could be kinda "boring" story-wise, there are no big twists or super emotionally hard moments the actors could flesh out and show their chops - but its not a makjang. It's a family comedy. The more "normal" they are, the better.

Musicwise, nothing really stuck and there wasn't even a proper OST. But the use of songs was just pure comedy - plus, Choi Min Soo being able to sing THAT good was a shock for me. I was legit repeating that scene lmfaooo. He singlehandedly brought the music rating to 6.

Rewatch value - The jokes in this are immortal and universal, and resonate every time I watch it. I've watched this alot of times, even know some jokes by heart, and would yet watch it again when I feel low.

All in all, recommend this to anyone who wants a nostalgic comedy!
