As I get older, I feel like I've started to gravitate towards shows that have a greater purpose beyond showing unrealistic romance and (admittedly entertaining) over-the-top drama. This one was down-to-earth and sincere, and a really great watch for those looking for something thoughtful without being depressing (although you'll probably shed a tear or two...but it's a healthy dose!!)

The characters were all well-developed and portrayed by a truly amazing cast. Choongnam was definitely my favorite, but everyone had their charms, just as they had their flaws. I begrudgingly came to adore each and every one as I came to know them, which I feel is an admirable feat for a drama in itself. By the end of the drama, it felt as if they were my very own family members.

What I loved about this drama was that it reminds us that growth does not stop at your 20s, or even your 30s or 40s. Life presents an endless amount of opportunities for you to learn about yourself as well as others-- what's more important is whether you're willing to acknowledge it. It taught me to look at the concepts of relationships, whether familiar or romantic, and death with a new perspective. And it reminded me the importance of being able to recognize one's own needs and take a step back when life gets too overwhelming.

I'll truly miss this drama. I'm sure you will, too.
